You know, in reading this discussion, I realize that I was very lax in the way I collared my first sub. We discussed the possibilities, and, when she turned to me and said, "You can do anything you want with me," we both took that as the beginning of a D/s relationship. It was, for a while, but without the ritual noted in this forum and similar, it led to misunderstandings and, eventually, disappointment. I think the use of more formal procedures would have made things a little better, and there would have beeen a clearer understanding of what I meant, and what her reaction would have been. Without the substance, there is little form, and without the ritual, there is the potential for tragedy. AE Van Vogt
