The inherant problem with responding to a post like this lies in the very nature of what makes this lifestyle so appealing to those of us who treat it as anything more than just another excuse for kinky sex. Ie: anything goes. MisterCorvidae, you obviously understand the various uses of this term. I also understand that your post was not rendered in order to have someone like myself respond with standard definitions or interpretations. Unfortunately, 24/7, like other terms we all use to various degrees and for various reasons, shall continue to be subject to individual interpretation. It is the reasons this is true that interest me. I think a much more interesting discussion would involve trying to decide, as a community, how we define our specific, intrinsic brand of nomenclature, how important defined and universally accepted definitions are, and what do we do to achieve a universal standard if we decide such is desireable. For myself, the term; 24/7 is relevant in light of the fact that I am ultmately seeking a permanent love relationship with a submissive. When I use the term, it implies that such a relationship would be D/s or M/s inclusive every minute of our shared lives. Like yourself, I am aware of, and, generally respectful of the limitations the vanilla world places on public displays of the D/s or M/s dynamic. For me personally, the term suggests the mindset I want a potential candidate for my affections to have regarding the depth and intesnity of a bond between us, should one come to be developed.
