ORIGINAL: kisshou If a Master/Mistress treated me like i was rare and precious, caring for and protecting me then i would wonder who is serving whom. i would view them as weak and see them in a submissive light. Ugh.. this belief that a Master/Mistress has to be uncaring, hard, mean, crass, etc.. or they can't be a Dom/me.. just burns me. Its one of the reasons I got out of the lifestyle the first time, and one of the reasons I feel like disappearing from it again. I seem to have a whole different grasp on what should constitute a healthy BDSM relationship than most everyone else. Some agree with me. Some obviously don't. One of the most attractive qualities I've ever found in a Dom/me is the ability to love with everything that is in them, and yet never lose control. To care, and yet because they care, discipline. To protect me from harm, yet blissfully torture me themselves. To that kind of Dom, I could become slave-like if not a slave itself. quote:
ORIGINAL: Emerald Slave Finding a good match for you long term is always rare and special. But a slave who lets themselves be lulled into thinking, or uses that manipulate the master into thinking, that he or she is indispensable is just looking for trouble and pain. I would think that if a Master/Mistress is really a Master/Mistress... the slave and the Master/Mistress could both think the slave is indispensable and yet both would know who was in control. Just because you're indispensable, doesn't mean you won't get punished for doing wrong and punished hard. A good Master/Mistress knows how to keep their slave (indispensable or not) in line. But then, I've already established I'm from a whole different school of thought here.. lil 1v, I agree with you and the more I read of what you write I'm thinking you and I went to the same school [;)] ! As far as slaves being "dispensable" as in being "given, sold, traded, or simply released" (to quote EmeraldSlave2) I guess for some that's okay. Since my Master and I are married, if he decided to do something like that there would be some legal implications I believe. And of course I wear the rose-colored glasses regarding all of this; I look at BDSM relationships as being two people in a romantic relationship above anything else. Before the poly folks jump all over me, hey, I'm not judging you or condemning you at all. I said in a previous post that my credo is to each his or her own, even if it doesn't float my boat (unless it involves children or animals... then I am judgemental as hell! lol). My view is different from yours, but it doesn't mean that you are wrong. My Master and I practice what suits us. Just because he loves and treasures me (as I love and treasure him) doesn't make him not a Dom. [:)] cello
