| I probably have a no-limit relationship now, or damn near it... (At least I think so, Ill have to go ask Master, he might disagree with me LOL)
I know when I first started, I was sooooo afraid to give up control... sometimes he'd take it from me, sometimes he'd wait patiently and allow me to give it up willingly....
but over the time he earned my trust, planned IE firmly in place, and now, I would think its pretty much a no-limit relationship in my mind...
And, I have to admit that I think doing it this way is safer than walking into a brand spanking new relationship with "no-limits" in place...
I did not know my Owner very long before I married him, we were naturally D/s before I knew there was a lifestyle like this...
We eventually evovled to M/s after much research online, I figured out about BDSM lifestyles and what its like and a light bulb turned on inside my head and I went "Ohhhhhh"....
Then I wrote him a long email of my discoveries, only to learn he was already aware of it all... and it came as no shock and suprise to him when I wanted it officially... something I could have structured and firmly in place... and I wanted more than wifely D/s... I wanted M/s...
(I do think there's a huge difference between D/s and M/s so I don't want to argue about that. to be fair, I don't think either are better in any way, just different.)
I know that when he collared me, I knew that he'd eventually get me to a place of no-limits, and it was scary and thrilling all at the same time...
But I know at first he worked with me, on my fears, my quirks... to help make it so when the no-limits thing was in place, it would happen, slowly over a period of time, so I wouldn't even really realize its happening....(and he still works on my fears and quirks LOL its a never ending progress)
(Logically, I know all about IE, how it works, no-limit relationships etc, but it just happens so slowly... that you dont' really see it coming... )
(This goes back to the whole, a Master won't just drive a precious expensive car into a brick wall theory.)
It is scary sometimes, to realize how hard this can be, and even when your scared about something and don't feel trusting for whatever reason, you still submit.... and part of you feels brave and strong for submitting and pleasing him.
Which comes to my next point :
Until you know someone -- I really think its up to the submissive to protect the future property of her Master. I think she needs to protect herself and keep herself safe until she finds the right one for her...
I don't think its smart, to run into a relationship with someone you don't know well... and just give up "everything" right from the start.... I think its wiser to get to know them and take some babysteps first to make sure that the situation is as it seems.
When reading psychological websites and websites on theories of M/s and slavery, they all have some things in common, most don't feel that a bad person could pretend to be good for extended periods of time, or would want to put in the energy usually that goes with the charade.
And, because they dont' consider Sadism, control, DOminance, or many of the other things "abusive" that you would in a vanilla relationship, you often have to look for totally different warning signs.
How someone takes care of their property or animals isn't always the best indicator... (anyone read the book by doon koontz, about china? he was a cop, took care of his house, property and dogs really well and was a complete looney toons. a murderer....)
I had a couple different points for this discussion...
1. what do you think are warning signs that new people while they are searching should pay attention to...
2. how long do you think it takes to get to a healthy place of IE (internal enslavement) in a M/s relationship...
3. Do you think a M/s relationship can really be M/s if there's limits set in place by the slave, or only limits the Master "allows" the slave to have for the time being... or would it be a work in progress?
4. Any other comments about what I wrote? |
