quote:
ORIGINAL: firmbutloving27 i want some opionions here on a dom and his sub. some doms feel you have to be abusive to a sub to have her respect you. i diasagree and feel that you still can be firm and authoratative when you need to and still love and pamper your sub as both are needed on a regular basis. how do you feel about this Then i agree with your feelings and would like to add that certin descriptors like 'abusive' are used in both consensual and non-consensual relatioahips. i have been abused in both types of relationships. In a non-consensual setting there was no agreement and there was no responsibility taken for the CONTROL OF THE ABUSE on behalf of my (then) dominant vanilla husbands. i knew and i sensed they had absolutely no control over what triggered their behaviours. In my primary relationship now i know absolutely that Master Paul has control over his behaviours and so i cosent to His control....not always, but sometimes, usually, mostly all the time, and how He gets my consent is part of the dynamic. But He kows exactly how to master Himseld in order to pass that control unto me. Thus i consent because i feel safe and place mtself totally at His disposal. It's like absailing (even though it feels like freefall) and i put my life, my body, my mind and heart also at His disposal. We also have made a decsion always to remain friends no matter what and there are of course, as life happens, times where we share behaviours which to all intents and purposes to the outside worl, look vanilla. i don't think my friends or my family or my kids who have seen us together notice anything remarkable about how i change as a consequence of what he does in everyday situations. I am submissive, servile and enjoy bring in service to all and sundry who become guests at my home. But consensually, in privacy and in intimacy. between ourselves and others we play with, yes there are behaviours which approach, are similar to and undifferentiated from what could objectively be seen as 'abusive' were there not an element of total consensuality. But the term abuse is by defintion ab-use and is use that causes dysfunction, and maims and disrupts the other's life. Therefore it is me, myself, i, that also has a say in whether it it ab-use or not. i know i can withstand tremendous amounts of pain and humuliation and i know ful well why: this was a 'normal' part of my development and a 'normal' way in which those around me expressed thenselves. women got good-hidings. women got a good thump on a friday night. women got smacked and actually so did the little ones, when the master of the house came home. 50's lifestyle? caveman behaviour? woeking -class hierarchy? Male role models? who knows as i am not into labelling what others do......... I cannot speak for Him but i am supposing that to the extent to which He needs to use me then I am proud to be used rather than abused.
