I agree wholeheartedly. Although I do call my Owner “Master”, I also acknowledge that he is human and fallible. It is in his faults as well as his qualities that I find his perfection. Not sure that made sense.

Excellent post. :)

amen to that carrie=ann- love the lack of bullshit – and you are so RIGHT on … i agree with just about everything you say – and just another point – who the fuck WANTS a perfect person to be their partner – whatever the designation? I want a real person, warts and all.

Hello, Carrie Ann:

I’ve been lurking here for a few months now, but I thought I’d come out of the shadows today and comment.

First off, great post. I’ve seen a lot of people, kinky and vanilla, romanticize their relationships in unrealistic ways. But I have noticed that Masters seem to be held to a certain infallible standard, and that bothers me. Personally, I like flaws and vulnerability in people and I don’t think I’d trust someone to be my “Master” if they didn’t admit to, and sometimes exhibit, those qualities. Call me weird.

Second, you and kaya are two of my favorite people to read. You’re both extremely articulate and intelligent, and there’s no bullshit with either of you. Realism indeed.

This is all very interesting and I agree with you.

Now, post some more pictures of the puppy.

Like you, i feel owned, but i am not a slave. i am a submissive woman, and property of my Sir. i function perfectly well on my own, but i do like it when He takes charge. i have not, nor would not submit to just anyone. It took many years for me to trust Him enough to completely surrender. Really though, Master/slave, Owner/property, Dominant/submissive…they are just words to convey a very personal dynamic between people which is different in every relationship. No two are the same, nor are the dynamics the same. That, to me, is universal across all types of relationships…Familial, romantic, friendship, etc. Each one, like snowflakes, is unique and different, though the look the same when piled together. But, hell, that is just my opinion…and everyone has one of those as well.
