Monday, March 06, 2006LimitsMaster and I have been in the lifestyle for about 10 years now and during that time I have attended a lot of munches, gone to a lot of groups, and read my fair share of articles about limits. To be quite honest in the beginning I loved the thought of saying I had no limits… there was a rush I got by the thought of being totally and completely owned. Then I matured and thought a lot about what I would do, what I wanted to try, and what I wasn’t willing to do under any circumstance. ~ Waits for the collective gasps ~ Over the years as Master and I have grown together my "won’t do" list has become almost non-existent and my "will try" list has increased exponentially. This is typically common as the level of trust in a master slave relationship grows. So seeing the topic come up in blogville I thought I would toss my 2 cents out there and hope no one tosses back change. Limits are such a touchy subject because there are those that cling to the theory that in order to be a slave one is not allowed any limits other then the limits set by their Master. Then there are those that say yes I am a slave but I do have limits and there are just something I will not do under any circumstances. I personally see nothing wrong with either side as long as any and all actions fall into the category of SSC (safe sane and consensual). I am a huge huge huge believer that prior to accepting a collar communication on this very subject is a must. It is essential for the success of the relationship that a slave and a master discuss and establish each other’s limits so that once the collar is placed there are no surprises for either party. That being said I don’t think not having limits allows a slave to consider herself off the hook for choices that are outside the realm of SSC. I don’t think a slave should ever allow the statement that "I was only following my Master’s orders" to be a valid defense to any wrongdoing. Being a slave doesn’t give you the right to shut off your brain and follow like a blind sheep into a world of destruction. I also would never advocate a new relationship to be without limits and boundaries as this is something a couple should grow into. I like to consider myself a no "limits" slave within boundaries. I know that doesn’t make a lot of sense but the reality is there are simply things I will not do. Those activities typically fall under the boundaries of SSC (safe, sane, and consensual). I wouldn’t dream of telling my Master no unless I felt the situation was not safe, not sane, or not consensual. I don’t necessarily mean my consent but the consent of a third party. For example there are the age old question asked by those that try and out question you or shake the faith you have in your role and ask what if he ordered you to have sex with a child, animal (bestiality), or a dead person (necrophilia). To me this is an easy question to answer as a child, animal, or the deceased can NOT give consent thus it violates the core foundation of SSC. I have also had the opportunity to field questions, as far out as what if he wanted to amputate or alter part of your body. Again this would fall under the question is it safe? I can’t for see amputating anything as safe so again I would point out it violates the rules of SSC. All illegal activities also fall under this category as well… what if he ordered you to do drugs, rob a bank, steal from a store, or have sex with a stranger? All these activities are not safe and are prohibited in my mind by SSC. Does this make me less of a slave? Some say yes but I don’t believe so; I like to believe it makes me a responsible human with morals that can’t be shaken just because I have given myself to another. I always love those submissives who come back with the "then you aren’t a real slave because real slaves obey regardless… they aren’t given the opportunity to say no". To them I always point out that even hundreds of years ago if a slave thought their life to be in grave danger they in fact would run" why would I be any different if pushed into a place I felt my life was in jeopardy? What it comes down to is that fact that I know my Master well enough to know he would never ask me to do anything that violated any of the rules of SSC so therefor his limits are my limits and vice versa. So this has never nor will it ever be an issue for us but I still do have these guidelines in place and to not acknowledge them would be wrong and make me something I am not. I strongly encourage anyone entering a M/s relationship to be honest with themselves and how far they are willing to go and to find themselves in the same position with their partner before declaring themselves a no limit slave. I thought since I spent all this time talking about what I wouldn’t do I would share my list with you. No Children, no animals, no dead people, no non-consensual 3rd parties. No long time separation from family No separation from religion. Nothing illegal by state or federal law Nothing that would cause the loss or suspension of my nursing license. No permanent physical body damage i.e. amputation, bone breaking, internal bleeding, blood vessel damage, damage that involves loss of mobility or function, scarring, burning of the body, or dramatic loss of circulation, no deep tissue needles and or punctures. | Friday, March 03, 2006Pride and OwnershipFor the first times since everything happened the house is quiet and I am home alone. At first I was a little anxious about having time to myself not sure how I would handle things with no one around but I think I am doing remarkably well. The week has been a strange one full of mixed up emotions and me meandering from one thing to the next with no real recall of why or how but for now that’s okay. The main goal is getting through it and with each passing day I am doing better. Master has been waiting on me hand and foot while playing a combination of Mr. mom and that deranged chef from the Muppets. Yesterday he was emptying the dishwasher and I suddenly became very possessive jumping in front of him like a wild woman grabbing for the dishes like they were made of gold. This is my job and how dare he take it away from me? I broke out in tears and rambled on about how I was still the slave in this relationship or was he looking for someone that didn’t take so much of his effort? He sternly told me to stop as he pried the dishes clutched in my death grip away and walked me back to bed. As a slave I understand if Master wants me to lay there and relax then I’m to do nothing but lay there and not move. Yet knowing that and actually doing it are two different things. Now I admit I have dreamt of a time when I could lounge around while hot sexy men in loincloths fed me grapes dipped in chocolate while they showered me with expensive wine. But I’ve discovered that it’s hard to do nothing while those you were born to serve are serving YOU. This was one of the hardest orders to obey because I take great satisfaction in doing my work and to have someone else take over what I consider my territory was like ripping out a piece of me. The more I pondered on why this upsetting me so much I discovered it came down to two things, ownership and pride. These tasks and chores are my responsibility, my territory, my job, and my domain, if Master didn’t need me to do them then what value am I worth? To consider these chores mine was an act of possessiveness and as a slave I have no right to take such ownership of anything even as simple as cleaning the toilet. As Master’s slave he has determined I am to own no property. Even my car is solely in his name and his alone. (Now before anyone gets his or her panties in a bunch I am not foolish enough nor is Master ruthless enough to not make sure I am totally provided and cared for if anything were to happen) But the fact is any property is owned by Master and it is not mine to sell, give away or keep if Master decides differently. Anyway getting back to my point I was trying to take ownership of the work Master expects of me. (It’s my work and no one else can have it… Okay try and tell me that isn’t sick). But when you are given ownership of so little you grasp and cling onto what you can like it is the very air you breath. You take pride in what you do and how you do it, which leads me to my very next point. I take great pride in my service to Master. I give it my all and at times feel like no one can give him the care, love and devotion that I can and that can lead to trouble. After all I am a slave, something he owns and he could train another piece of property to do what I do if it was his choice. The question comes down to as a slave am I given the right to be proud? So I asked Master that very question later in the evening and he said yes I am allowed pride in what I do and who I am. I am allowed to show pride in my work and who I belong to. What I am not allowed is to become too proud allowing it to blind me to my fragility and my frailties. I am not allowed to let it lead me to think of myself as Herculean, or a "cut above" anyone one else that could potentially do what I do. In a round about way that’s what I was doing. I was allowing my insecurities to push away the help Master was offering me out of care and love and that’s just not something a slave should ever take for granted. Okay I will stop rambling and post this lol see what can happen to a slave who’s been on bed rest for to long? | Saturday, February 25, 2006post 3Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit, sed diem nonummy nibh euismod tincidunt ut lacreet dolore magna aliguam erat volutpat.
