I do not celebrate an anniversary for something such as this; but I will admit that it sounds interesting and could be a lot of fun

I do celebrate scene relationship anniversaries and vanilla anniversaries.

Status: offline 		Greetings..~smiles~

I just can't really wrap my brain around "finding this lifestyle". I guess the reasoning why is I am not really sure what it is exactly that people mean when they just use the word "lifestyle"? It is never from what I read, and talk to people in regards to..the same. I guess also I am unsure as to how myself..(inate feelings) that seem to have always been present in me since very young can just suddenly be put into a context of something as block or solid like that.

If it means finding out that there are others out there who felt the same as I..or finding out that some aspects of things that seemed to accompany those feelings (as in physical applications..bondage/in chains or pain inflictions for corrective actions but not anything for personal pleasures sake)..If this is what is meant..then put a name to it 10yrs ago. The name though didn't change what was already there in me it just identified the fact that I was not alone in the world. It also helped me recognize that I had always been trying to incorporate these things or naturally have them present in any relationship I had since the age of 16.

I don't celebrate any of that but Master and I do hold the day I begged collar, and he accepted me as special. This is mainly because it is the day we both look at as finally being able to live, and live honestly with ourselves.

Lol..sorry probably not what you were after but again..not sure there could actually be a definitive date to something that just is me.

Well Wishes

I suck at birthdays and anniversaries.

No, I do not celebrate any such thing.  I am just me.  Born and raised to be submissive.  There was no magical date.  I celebrate my birthday, the day this complex being came into existance.  That's plenty for me :)

I'm so glad you said that because that was exactly my first thought. "Hi, my name is Michael and I'm a kinkster. I am powerless over my kink and I have been officially practicing it for 90 days.".....and the crowd responds "Hello Michael, thanks for sharing, here's your coin".....lol.

I don't celebrate, but every third weekend in November, I make mention and smile at the memories.

Had i known then what i know now, yes, i would have marked the date and i would celebrate it.

They call it Labor Day so that my head doesn't get all big and ego-filled.

But I know they're celebrating my entrance into this life.

Oh yes, and thank you all so much. "You love me! You really really love me!!"

So, you DO celebrate it!!! Everyone else might call it Thanksgiving, but hey...modesty and all that....

Gives a new twist to the reason for the family dinners now doesn't it?

The only anniversary I celebrate that relates to the lifestyle is Angel's collaring as opposed to our first date. It just seems more meaningful.  AS to the date I discovered the lifestyle... I dont think I could even remember when that was honestly.

I have a friend who is a sadistic Top and very good Dominant who started out as a Bottom to a Mistress..His very first experience at this was on his 25th birthday..and while he doesnt actually celebrate the anniversary, he certainly does remember it with great fondness. He is now in his 40's and if I understand it, still visits the Mistress on occasion.

As to your question and topic, I would say I do however, I do not celebrate the exact day but, more like the month and very loosely just to track the years that check off faster as each year I grow older and quietly so.  It is more of a personal growth rather than a 'holiday' sort of anniversary.  Few have ever known this but, it is a place to mark how many years in the lifestyle/enlightenment/re-birth in my mind's eyes.  I personally don't find people interested, unless it is used in some reference and cross checked with individuals of that time.
 
That said, I would indeed celebrate a union between as slave and I.  Or, a day of rememberance when someone passed on.
 
Respectfully submitted for consideration,
Lady Hugs

We do celebrate a vanilla anniversary(Janurary 15) and my collaring anniversary (Febuary 8).

Status: offline 		Since the lifestyle came to me when very young and it was quite a fearful series of experiences for awhile I have no dates like that to remember.

There have been MANY memorable events with awesome goodness, too many to remember the dates.

However I  have a wonderful event to celebrate, April 30, 2005. On that date I was attending a meeting in a distant Wis. city, and met the partner I appreciate. She thought she was Domme (and is to most others) but decided she needed to be sub to me. Happiness can be found, if one is open to that.
