To serve isn't what a slave needs? Serving one's Master isn't a primary motivation? Isn't giving up control, being obedient, giving pleasure and such....part of service? Maybe I should reconsider all of this... I thought to serve was getting what I wanted... Hmmmm....

I am both control and service oriented. quote: Maybe I should reconsider all of this... I thought to serve was getting what I wanted... For you, perhaps it is. That doesn't mean that's what it is for every slave. And again, one hopes that we are getting exactly what we choose for ourselves to be fulfilled.

I agree LA.

LA, I always enjoy and learn from reading your posts. You always have a very interesting perspective, but you lost me on this one when you said, "I am both control and service oriented." I believe on this subject it may be best, in my humble opinion, to leave it at the difference between a pure submissive/slave and a switch/bottom.

I believe on this subject it may be best, in my humble opinion, to leave it at the difference between a pure submissive/slave and a switch/bottom. "Pure"? That's going to catch hell. It seems to me that LA is saying that a sub/slave can get what they want from their service, along with other things. I'm not a particularly service-oriented submissive (and I assure you I'm not a switch). I hate chores with a passion. I do them to make my dominant happy and keep our house clean. I am getting what I want whenever he calls me Pet, when he binds my limbs and when grabs my hair and pulls me to him. When I am good (or have a damn good point about something!) I get "my way". He knows when things are important to me and actually enjoys making me happy as well. Why on earth can't you get what you want as well as being a slave? In my submission I realize and accept happily that he gets the last say - but doesn't mean I won't get my way from time to time. But perhaps it is neither my way, or his way, but our way and we both get what we want from it.

Vanillas at least can be expected to clean up their socks, while doms just can't handle the pressure? ;) okay, color me stupid but i don't see any reason why a relationship has to be different if vanilla or D/s M/s. i am stupid to serve in a vanilla relationship? i'm a submissive. i'm so dumb that i even ask my boss and other co-workers if they want any coffee when i'm making a trip to the cafeteria at work. i don't allow people to take advantage of me but i sincerely enjoy serving so i serve whether in a D/s relationship or not. i was just saying that if the dirty socks bother her more than him it takes less negative energy to pick them up then make an issue out of it. That's not the same as nagging! He wasn't nagging her to do anything from what i read in the OPs statement. Look, i know i'm a dinosaur and my opinions are not normal but that doesn't mean they might not have some value.

Reposted: I was TEASING (hence the winking face) about the idea that we can expect vanillas to do mundane things like picking up laundry, but somehow doms get a free pass. It was a self-referential ironic statement of humor. Had NOTHING to do with you or your beliefs in service. Yeesh. Lower your shields and try and take things less personally next time. Winky face = being cute and non serious.

A true slave doesn't have a "way".

julietsierra -> RE: How does a slave get her own way? (12/31/2006 9:01:11 AM)
quote: ORIGINAL: mrocknj A true slave doesn't have a "way". Oooh, I must not be a "true" slave! I have a "way" and always have. My "way" was to be honest with myself regarding what I wanted, and what I expected out of a relationship. My "way" was to recognise that I'm here in this relationship - not because it makes him happy, but because it makes ME happy and what makes ME happy just happens to get him off, which makes me happy, which makes him happy, etc... My "way" was to quit with all the altruistic bs and recognize that if I didn't get things "my way," ultimately, I would end up very dissatisfied with the relationship, dissatisfied with him, and abyssmally dissatisfied with myself. So, I chose wisely. And I got exactly what I wanted - great sex, great bdsm, a friend, a lover, the love of my life even, a colleague (even though we don't work together), and a boss I can respect and emulate. If I had chosen based on faulty knowledge of myself, I'd have not been happy over time. If I'd chosen based on a faulty representation of myself, I can pretty much guarantee that I'd have realized it along the way and been frustrated. As it is, I chose based on exactly what I wanted and have not been disappointed. And staying continues to be based on what I expect for myself. My concern isn't "does he do this or that right?" but does what I get for myself outweigh and outrank the difficulties I face from time to time. So far, the answer has been yes. And here I am. So...in my world, slaves - even us "untrue" ones, definitely have a "way." It just so happens that my "way" and his "way" match in a unique and wonderful mutual "way" not unlike in a vanilla relationship. What's different is that my "way" includes service, control, obedience and ultimately, slavery. And if I can't make decisions on the color of a room, and he gets "his way," I get mine in that I get the opportunity for the thrill obedience brings to me. As far as whether the teak panelling stays or goes,... hell, get a good teak cleaner and some teak oil and see what you really have there. For goodness sake, don't call mnottertail before you do that!! Do you have ANY idea what teak runs these days?!! If he likes it and you hate it, make it work - add a nautical motif. Green bathrooms - well, I have nothing to say about that beyond time is your friend. Shower in the dark if you need to. juliet

Not all of us are service oriented. I'm not. Control and emotional transparency float my boat, and his. There are people who are obedience wired, getting off on doing what they're told even while they build up resentment because of problems unsaid. Works for them, not for me.

quote: ORIGINAL: mrocknj A true slave doesn't have a "way". true means nothing. a slave has ideals, opinions , wants and desires. My pleasure comes form meeting Master's needs , that is a "way". [;)]
