ORIGINAL: sensualwordz Curious as to others thinking on this, as I personally have never had the experience. I hear about training collars. collar of consideration, mentors collar and then there THE COLLAR i just finished reading an interesting thread on how long to collar, when i began thinking, yes this is a very individual decision, but does everyone share the different types of collars also, or not After having some time online and in the community, I've seen all kinds of collars, with all kinds of titles. It's given me the impression that the variations of collars are only restricted to the imagination. I really don't have anything against such a system, provided the intentions are honest. (Whoops, there's that 'h' word.) Having seen all this over time, I came to the conclusion that I'd rather deal with two collars. One for play in general, you know, hitching post, nifty handle, hang my keys on, etc., and THE COLLAR. Now, while I don't want to offend anyone, well anyone that isn't looking to be offended, I have a dim view of all these collars. Yes, I understand and empathize with some of the rationale for them, but from my point of view, it seems to devalue the importance of THE COLLAR. The appearance of any collar title other than the ones I endorse gives to me the appearance of a lack of conviction and commitment. To me it's like being pregnant, or dead. You either are, or not. Not sorta, kinda, halfway, thinking about it, or whatever. How many like the idea of some one saying, "Well, I'm thinking of having you, but I want to think about it. Besides, I'm talking to a few others as well", to you? Just doesn't fly with me. What's more, the abuses of such a thing is amazing, under the guise of being magnanimous. I've seen some collect whole rafts of subs and slaves like it was a hobby, online and offline. I may seem jaded, but.... <shrugs> experience tends to color things quite a bit.
