[Lobby]: sgpet has left at 9:19 pm
[CJsHere] 9:19 pm: stretching a bit over one sentence, could you
say that it says "take one step at a time,, you're who you are,
accept that and move on? Realize there isn't a magic wishing well to
make all your dreams come true.. you can't sit back and expect
someone to do everything for you? do those things seem to fit?

[CJsHere] 9:24 pm: a first step so to speak,,
[kittycat] 9:24 pm: she will want that
[rachael] 9:24 pm: a Dom can always help but you have to want to be
helped first
[small one] 9:24 pm: a sub must be able to express her true self to
her Dom
[CJsHere] 9:25 pm: the first step in building a D/s relationship
is essentially that you have to have something to build a D/s
relationship around?

[fire_SB] 9:27 pm: pats the fur beside her
[kittycat] 9:28 pm: But she is not happy
[kittycat] 9:28 pm: she cannot be happy
[CJsHere] 9:28 pm: so, if I am to interpet the intent of that
article, posted on a D/s site,, essentially, what I would interpret
that as meaning,,,,
[kittycat] 9:28 pm: She is a woman...not a doormat
[fire_SB] 9:29 pm: a doomat has no feelings.......emotions
[CJsHere] 9:29 pm: a Dom isn't really interested in something
that could care less about themself, someone that has no desires, no
goals, no dreams, no hopes?
[GRIMYTIMES84]
[kittycat]
[fire_SB] 9:29 pm: yes Sir.....agreed
[kittycat] 9:30 pm: and that is a horrible thing to say
[dreamtheirsleep] 9:30 pm: agreed, Sir
[sub4u] 9:30 pm: yes Sir
[rachael] 9:30 pm: yes Sir
[small one] 9:30 pm: yes Sir
[CJsHere] 9:30 pm: hmm, kitty, let Me get you to think about that
statement for a moment,
[fire_SB] 9:30 pm: fire hopes that....that is NOT what You want
Sir
[CJsHere] 9:30 pm: think hard,, do you think a real Dom would
want that,, or a player would settle for it?
[kittycat]
[kittycat]
[kittycat]
[small one]
[kittycat]
[GRIMYTIMES84] 9:32 pm: thats what i was thinking small one
[CJsHere] 9:32 pm: nods, I quite agree ,, but, that ties in a bit
to a conversation that we had here recently, on the subject of how
you tell a real Dom for a player or onlne troll.
[fire_SB] 9:32 pm: real...=true=honest Dominant
[sub4u] 9:32 pm: agrees with fire
[CJsHere] 9:33 pm: I think one of the examples that was used,
everyone, even your pet dog has some dominant traits, even a slave
has dominant traits if you look for them, but, to really be a Dom in
the context we're hoping for or talknig about.. would that kind of
Dom be a dom you were looking for, the one that really craved a
doormat?

changed, don't wait for others to change you.. be self supportive in
those areas, (is what I meant)

[jazmin] 9:41 pm: yes Sir
[small one] 9:41 pm: also agree with fire
[CJsHere] 9:41 pm: hmm, the contradiction there, and here I
thought it was the D/s lifestyle and Dom's had to come running in,
telling a girl what to do , what to change,,
[CJsHere] 9:42 pm: okay, let's freeze our thoughts on that for a
moment or two, let's reach into our brains and pull out a blank page
for a moment,,
[fire_SB] 9:43 pm: isn't hard...for fire's brain to be blank
[small one] 9:43 pm: this girl's a complete blank!

[sub4u] 9:45 pm: yes Sir
[rachael] 9:45 pm: agreed Sir
[CJsHere] 9:46 pm: ahh, so now let's merge the two together, ,
see how the pieces fit,
[sub4u] 9:46 pm: yes Sir
[fire_SB] 9:46 pm: hopes she didn't loose any puzzle pieces...hates
that
[CJsHere] 9:46 pm: on the one hand, we've got this paper that
says be strong, fend for yourself.. on the other hand, heck we got
issues and we want help..
[kittycat]
[rachael]
[CJsHere]
[small one] 9:47 pm: nothing Sir
[kittycat] 9:47 pm: Nothing wrong with that...sometimes hard to
reach out and ask for help though
[GRIMYTIMES84] 9:47 pm: but in understanding and accepting your
"issues" makes it easier to reach out and find help with what you
want/need to fix.

[dreamtheirsleep] 9:49 pm: yes, Sir
[Lobby]: celticwarrior has entered at 9:50 pm
[celticwarrior] 9:50 pm: wow big party in here
[fire_SB] 9:50 pm: class celtic
[CJsHere] 9:50 pm: Sometimes, as a Dom I sit here and I see what
appears to be girl after girl come walking thru the door with this
image in her mind that her she is, she's a sub/slave,, that's it,,
never has to do another think until someone says on your knees, take
notes, this is what you'll do,,
[celticwarrior] 9:50 pm: ahh
[fire_SB] 9:50 pm: hugs
[CJsHere] 9:51 pm: it just ain't so, that's not how it is,
[CJsHere] 9:51 pm: and anyone that tells you it is,, is nuts!
[CJsHere]
[GRIMYTIMES84] 9:53 pm: doesnt want a mindless zombie
[fire_SB] 9:53 pm: smiles at Sir GT
[CJsHere] 9:53 pm: so, bottom line here, if you've heard that,
and think that is reality, back up,, grab your brain, reactivate it
and come back in here..
[sub4u]
[celticwarrior]
[rachael]
[CJsHere] 9:54 pm: I dont think many would want to admit it, but
I'm sure, if you look at the list of those here, some of you were
under that misguided impression,,, and that's okay, we've got it
corrected now.

[kittycat]
[CJsHere] 9:56 pm: hmm, how to answer that,, first, let's clarify
what we're talking about when we say geisha,,
[CJsHere] 9:57 pm: if you talk to a GI that has served in the far
east in the last decade or so, they'll think of a geisah as a whore
or prostitute,, a high paid call girl. but,
[small one] 9:57 pm: dedication to the lifestyle in which she
provides companionship on all levels
[small one] 9:57 pm: sorry Sir
[CJsHere] 9:58 pm: if you go back,, look at what the geisha truly
is,, what the lifestyle of the asians prepares them for, then yes,
in many ways, a geisha is a good example of a sub,, but there are
some big differnces,, and exceptions.
[CJsHere] 9:59 pm: the differences, the geisha yes, while she is
there to please a man,, more often than not, that geisha was there
to please in either a sexual, or as a companion manner,, her chores,
tasks, responsibilities did not/does not include much of anything
beyond physical comfort or companionship.
[CJsHere]
[small one] 10:00 pm: yes Sir
[CJsHere] 10:01 pm: But,, for what it's worth, the asian woman,
her upbringing, their customs, traditions, are the most submissive
oriented femalse in the world..
[CJsHere] 10:
[fire_SB] 10:
[CJsHere] 10:
[fire_SB]
[fire_SB] 10:02 pm: understands
[celticwarrior] 10:02 pm: bacj
[CJsHere] 10:03 pm: about the only ones that I can think of more
submissive than them as a culture, "might" be the Omish women in
regions of Pennsylvania,, but their submissiveness extends only
within their cultural boundaries.

[GRIMYTIMES84] 10:06 pm: i have to admit CJ that was a great help
in clearifying some of the cloudy areas i had about sub's
[CJsHere] 10:07 pm: we've also said or decided that a Dom, if
He's really a Dom, isn't interested in owning, wanting or having a
mindless doormat.

[GRIMYTIMES84] 10:09 pm: go ahead cw
[CJsHere] 10:09 pm: and yes, once a Dom takes a girl, within the
confines or limits of that relationship, the Dom can/will/may alter
things within the girls way of doing things as appropriate for that
relationship..
