[CJsHere] 9:
apologize, I think I need to reset My clock,

Sirs and Lady smiling

[Sir Hardone40]
[CJsHere] 9:
introduced themselves to you.
[CJsHere] 9:
you haven’t signed up as a paid member yet, your paid membership supports this
site and keeps us going.
[CJsHere] 9:
consider using one of our links to get there as we do make a few cents in
commission that way. Every cent adds up to help support the site.
[CJsHere] 9:
[CJsHere] 9:
sat in on one of our topics or discussions before, remember, these topics are
meant to be discussions, feel free to ask questions, add your thoughts.
[CJsHere] 9:
hold down the irrelevant comments. If you get bumped offline, just come back in
quietly, we’ll all understand..
[CJsHere] 9:
to cover, but, there’s always time to slow down to make sure you understand
what’s going on. If you don’t ask, you may never know.
[CJsHere] 9:
get started. Tonight’s topic, The difference between a submissive and a slave.
Yeeooowww, a hot topic,,
[CJsHere] 9:
will find they may put “their own” spin on things. If you ask a dozen people
what is the difference between a sub and a slave, you’ll get at least a dozen
different answers.
[CJsHere] 9:
the level of trust and commitment within the relationship. I think as we delve
deeper into this topic this evening, you may see where that is so.
[CJsHere] 9:
question to say the least. And a dangerous question as well. The submissive is a
thing of beauty, be it male or female.
[CJsHere] 9:
think it takes to place your trust, your absolute trust in someone?
[CJsHere] 9:
[CJsHere] 9:
similarities between the two titles in question. First and most importantly they
are both based on the same principle. Trust.
[CJsHere] 9:
nothing. Both serve, and seek to serve. Both are empty without the guide that
leads, and need training to serve properly.
[Sir Hardone40]
[Sir Hardone40]
[CJsHere] 9:
where this takes us.
[CJsHere]
both wear collars in one form or another and both offer some form of “worship”
to their Dominant.
[CJsHere]
not a book. With the constraints of time, we’ll just tend to look at the basics
this evening.
[CJsHere]
bondage so to speak.
[CJsHere]
[Sir Hardone40]
[new_seeking]
[CJsHere]
“owned”. However in this forum the word owned takes on a new meaning.
[CJsHere]
control, which in the case of being a collared submissive, is not true.
[CJsHere]
Dominant. A hands off sign to others. Or, a symbol of the Dominant himself.
[CJsHere]
state or quality of being submissive; acknowledgment of inferiority or
dependence; humble or suppliant behavior; meekness; resignation; obedience.”
[CJsHere]
meaning of the word in the context we are exploring. In the training I have
received and given, the above words are chiseled in stone.
[CJsHere]
their soul. Make them their “rules to live by”. This definition is also a part
of the basis of the slave as well.
[CJsHere]
part company. As I said earlier, the submissive is not owned but possessed.
[Sir Hardone40]
discuss my thoughts
[CJsHere]
understand how that type of relationship is formed. There is a negotiation that
takes place between the Dominant and the prospective submissive before an
agreement or contract is agreed upon.
[CJsHere]
[CJsHere]
have influence, and where he will not. It will also indicate and define what the
Dominant can and, more importantly, cannot do.
[CJsHere]
"non-influence"
[CJsHere]
to be agreed upon and signed by both, this may sometimes even be accomplished
orally, or by implication. There is usually a time period to the length of the
contract, and several aspects during the term of it are always negotiable.
[CJsHere]
Dominant to control only certain aspects of it's life. It will retain an
identity separate and apart from that of the D&s lifestyle.
[CJsHere]
the world we've chosen to live in.
[CJsHere]
slave look like a light weight, inexperienced rube. Again understand I believe
submission is beauty incarnate.
[CJsHere]
the other point of the question, the position or role of the slave.
[CJsHere]
servant divested of all freedom and personal rights;
[CJsHere]
of another, as by capture, purchase, or birth.”
[CJsHere]
word and meaning of slave than that in the dictionary and presented here.
[CJsHere]
as with the submissive, the person who becomes a slave is a thing of beauty.
[CJsHere]
called to this form of the lifestyle, and believe me it is a calling.
[CJsHere]
individual word. It takes the meaning of trust to an entirely different level.
[CJsHere]
by either the prospective slave or the Dominant. It is a tremendous
responsibility to both.
[CJsHere]
case is full and complete. There is no room for debate.
[Sir Hardone40]
[CJsHere]
negotiation which has come after long periods of training and evaluation by the
Dominant in question.
[CJsHere]
slaves abilities and limits. Limits which will be oft times stretched and
sometimes surpassed.
[Sir Hardone40]
[CJsHere]
can there be negotiating when a person is so totally owned?”
[CJsHere]
absolutely do?
[CJsHere]
their bondage”, the slave gives up control of all aspects their lives.
[CJsHere]
slave for a much longer period of time than in the case of the submissive.
[CJsHere]
submissive and the Dominant is usually set for a fixed period of time to be
re-negotiated and agreed upon again.
[CJsHere]
position. You are or you are not. That is why there is (or should be) a time of
evaluation between the Dominant and the applicant.
[CJsHere]
time of commitment. So now we may simplify things a bit.
[Sir Hardone40]
[CJsHere]
controlled by the Dominant while retaining an individual identity.
[CJsHere]
of their life. The Dominant is the beginning and the end.
[CJsHere]
course of the planets, with the Dominant being the sun and the slaves world
revolving around that.
[CJsHere]
submissive is less dedicated to serving it's Dominant.
[CJsHere]
nothing, absolutely nothing else in the world other than the pleasure of the
Dominant.
[CJsHere]
it has chosen to retain as well as the relationship it has chosen to enter upon
with the Dominant.
[CJsHere]
dangerous one as well. I said that this is a calling, and not all are called.
[CJsHere]
transmitted diseases, such as HIV and AIDS, our lifestyle, it seems, is en
vogue.
[CJsHere]
to live?
[CJsHere]
Dom and the Domme, the slave and the submissive, the Master and of course the
Mistress.
[CJsHere]
out for a quick lay who's playing at this life and mocking it in the same
breath.
[CJsHere]
[CJsHere]
[CJsHere]
so. They are so much more than words, and should not be trivialized and made
labels. These are things that one aspires to, are born to.
[CJsHere]
is very important if one wishes to be taken seriously.
[CJsHere]
applies to be a slave, and then wishes to set limitations on the amount of
control you as a Master may have?
[CJsHere]
actually being one.
[CJsHere]
Webster's defines Master in the following terms;“ a man who rules others or has
control, authority, or power over something;
[CJsHere]
institution;...(c) an owner of an animal or slave........ a person very skilled
and able in some work, profession, science, etc.; expert;
[CJsHere]
follow his trade independently; (b) an artist regarded as great”
[CJsHere]
expound a bit on the difference between a Master and a Dominant.
[CJsHere]
give them freely. They are earned as are the titles of the submissive and slave.
[CJsHere]
disagree. One may have submissive tendencies, yet be so assertive that it defies
the definition.
[CJsHere]
defiant as the wild mustang. So too are the tittles of Master and Mistress.
[CJsHere]
considered a Master. Try mastering the tool first. Now isn’t that a novel
concept?
[CJsHere]
given by your peers. A title of respect earned from the submissive and the
slave, not extracted.
[CJsHere]
of the subject in question without losing or offending anyone.
[Lobby]: new_seeking has left at
[CJsHere]
many different things to so many different people
[CJsHere]
overlapping in some areas. You can mix and match the things discussed in this
article to suit your individual situation.
[CJsHere]
tradition. A tradition going back hundreds of years.
[CJsHere]
between the
[CJsHere]
that came to this country from
century.
[CJsHere]
recognizable throughout the world. The European customs and styles are based on
customs covering at least eight hundred years of tradition.
[CJsHere]
which to begin, to learn. So take this and learn from it. Question it. Dissect
it.
[CJsHere]
foster more questions, and that the answers should do the same. The questioning
continues, and that is how we learn.
[CJsHere]
the slave lifestyle, or role is founded on trust. A natural assumption is that
trust will grow, enhance and stabilize as the relationship endures.
[CJsHere]
relationship is going to grow, to survive, and to be the relationship that both
the Dominant and the submissive want it to be, then if nothing other than by
default, eventually, every relationship will progress to the point of the
submissive becoming a slave.
[CJsHere]
comments, questions, objections and occasional tomato to be thrown,,
[fire_AsjFG]
[Sir Hardone40]
[Sir Hardone40]
[CJsHere]
[Sir Hardone40]
[Sir Hardone40]
[Sir Hardone40]
can to her Master then what
[Sir Hardone40]
[CJsHere]
two things, first, the definition we are dealing with here is what is commonly
referred to as the "accepted lifestyle definition". the second thing to
remember, as pointed out.. each and every relationship is unique,,, what fits
for one, might not fit for the other. Now, if you bring forth a requirement to
violate the "law".. then your talking a horse of a differnt color, that
shouldn't be part of any D/s relationship, should it?
[Sir Hardone40]
[Sir Hardone40]
without time limits
[CJsHere]
don't think that will work,,
[Sir Hardone40]
move into an M/s relationship over time and the development of trust
[Sir Hardone40]
there is one right which is never given over
[CJsHere]
but wait a moment,, think about this a moment,, as it progresses, as things like
time limits are removed,, since it's the "Dominant" that essentially sets the
limits,,, do you also think it likely that the sub will progress to being a
slave, quite possibly without either realizing it?
[Sir Hardone40]
time it will
[Sir Hardone40]
[anaka_CAS]
here...
[CJsHere]
difference between a sub and a slave is the level of trust and commitment within
the relationship.. :)
[Sir Hardone40]
submissive and move into being a slave
[Sir Hardone40]
cases where there are owned submissives
[CJsHere] 10:
strengthen and build,, hence, the level of trust and commitment increases.....
hmm, I wonder if that is the case, then actually would it be true to say that
whether they realize it or not, almost all subs aspire to be slaves?
[Sir Hardone40]
understandings within the lifestyles between that of a submissive and a slave
[CJsHere] 10:
[CJsHere] 10:
[anaka_CAS] 10:
[CJsHere] 10:
then actually ...would it be true to say that whether they realize it or not, almost all subs
aspire to be slaves?
[CJsHere] 10:
[anaka_CAS] 10:
[CJsHere] 10:
living as a submissive,, with the "desire" to serve her Dominant, and a desire
to strengthen the relationship, then why would she not aspire to that role?
[Sir Hardone40]
there are some who go by the name of slave who are more submissive than slave
[CJsHere] 10:
others she's something she's not, then yes, that is another story entirely, and
that really can't be used as a valid comparison, can it?
[MrCAS] 10:
[CJsHere] 10:
serve her Dominant, and seeks to strengthen her relationship, strengthen the
bonds of that relationship, wouldn’t you think her level of submission would
increase?
[MrCAS] 10:
[Sir Hardone40]
meaning
[CJsHere] 10:
then no, she'll always remain nothing more than mildly submissive,
[MrCAS] 10:
relationship as well
[CJsHere] 10:
progresses to being a "Master".
[CJsHere] 10:
submissive isn't a sub/slave.
[Sir Hardone40]
he has a slave?
[CJsHere] 10:
[Sir Hardone40]
[CJsHere] 10:
[CJsHere] 10:
experience level.. and the confidence and respect of his peers to acheive that,
[Sir Hardone40]
[CJsHere] 10:
and experience, a Master will have both.
[Sir Hardone40]
him or her self
[CJsHere] 10:
[cece] 10:
whereas a slave is owned...in my opinion possession and ownership are the same,
could You help clarify what You think the difference is?
[CJsHere] 10:
[CJsHere] 10:
[CJsHere] 10:
bought and paid for them, do with them as you please.
[CJsHere] 10:
a desire to be owned,, it doesn't decide, hey, there's an owner I want,, the
submissive allows themselves to be "possessed",, they're essentially there
because they want to be,, no, that doesn't mean a slave doesn't want to be
owned,, because yes, most do.

it... but you don't own it
[cece]
...2. the state of being possessed.
...3. ownership.
[CJsHere]
don't you think it could also be an emotional state of being possessed
[CJsHere]
[CJsHere]
[CJsHere]
submits to that gives the Dominant possession.

and can set limits and has a "right" to make decisions, a slave is owned and has
no say.? am i correct..of course that is completly simplified and thereis more
in between
[cece]
[CJsHere]
participation is what makes these discussions what they are.. and yes, I do hope
they help, or at least set you to thinking a bit,
[CJsHere]
[Briteyes]
slave from the ones I actually no its grown into over time
[CJsHere]
true,, but now to really confuse you, don't forget reality,, because the bottom
line reality is, yes, even a slave has limits, and to some extent choices,
emotions and feelings that her Dominant must deal with and respect.
[CJsHere]
[cricket_NF]
[CJsHere]
literally years to progress from submissive to slave,
[CJsHere]
[paige]
[CJsHere]
there are needs to be tended to, emotional, physical, psychological and mroe
[Briteyes]
