Nine Levels of Submission

[Ebonyfire]

This one is good enough for it's own thread.

Dom/mes: pick out the level of submission that works for you & explain why.

Submissives: Name the level of submission you think you are explaining how this is so if you can.

Switches, tops, and bottoms answer as you can.

I voted true submissive non-slave,but since I am still learning what exactly it is that I want,I am sure it will change.

AutoSub

I would like a life mate please, equipped with a remote control containing ten settings for me to choose from....

The 9 states of submission you mention, plus "AutoSub".

Ideally, I could leave my life mate on AutoSub most of the time and she'll know exactly what it is I want from her.

But.....for those occasions when your woman just doesn't seem to be operating properly.....*bzzzt*....#5 tonite, please.

Kinda like the holographic grrlfriend in The Sixth Day.

Well, you DID ask......

Well, this best describes my tendancies: Uncommitted Short-Term But More Than Play Semi-Slave.

I crave the power exchange and I enjoy some aspects of service within limits. That said, I like to have time to myself and to do things with friends. I have an extremely stressful job and often work long hours. I require some downtime on a daily basis. I like having a housekeeper to do the major housework regularly (I can afford it so why not?). By the same token, I do enjoy cooking and keeping things neat in the home.... when I feel like it and when I'm not working excessive hours.

#7:

Part time, consensual, real slave.

With the exception of children and job, my time is His.

Distance and that we are in the early stages of finding ourselves together plays a role in the degree of submission.

Fortunately, distance is a morning's drive

Anyway, yes, the traditional housewife analogy works for me.

Admittedly, I have had a clandestine sort of relationship on a couple of occasions where submission was limited to our play, on the part of both parties.

So, I do believe that no one can simply attest to a level and have it never change.

Uncommitted Short-Term But More Than Play Semi-Slave

Although I would change 'slave' to 'sub'. I never have been comfortable with the term slave.

All of my current relationships with Dom/me's are short-term and uncommited, but I don't consider many of them just 'play' as the level of trust and submission is rather deep. With someone I've just met at a party or whatnot, that is play even if I do submit withen the scene. However, at this point in my life, a long-term commited relationship is just not feasible, so I am content to having deep, but uncommited relationships with various people.

errr, forgot to add...for those that I switch with and Top, I prefer the exact same relationship from my bottom.

8. Full Time Live In Concensual Slave:

Within no more that an few broad limits/requirements, the slave regards her/himself as existing solely for the Dom's pleasure/well being. Slave expects to be regarded as a prized possession. Not much different from the situation of the traditional housewife, except that within the S/M world the slave's poisition is more likely to be fully consensual. Within the S/M world, a full time slave "arrangement" is entered into with explicit awareness of the magnitude of power that is being given up, and hence is usually entered into much more carefully, with more awareness of the possible dangers, and with much clearer and more specific agreements than usually precede the traditional marriage.


yes!! That is Me ..plain ,pure and Simple.. I am OWNED Lock,Stock and Barrel By Master Artful will explainwhy I feel that way later when I come back to Edit ..

*Edited to read ,we are in a *Comitted* 24/7 T.P.E. which is LDr/LTR and in just 8 more short months our realtionship will once agin be skin-to skin till the day we both die....I realize all the POWER I am giving up to Him and it's His responsibilty to train me to be a 'good slave' as well as it is mine to Listen to His guidance

 

[A Desert Rose]

I am a true submissive in the bedroom. It is not play (as in play-acting) and it is not psuedo, if I am understanding this correctly.

I am sexually non-aggressive. I am not an initiator of the act. I like being guided.

I hope I got this right. LOL and I hope I answered it right.....

 

[Parklife]

I think I can most accurately be described at the present as, "Uncommitted Short-Term But More Than Play Semi-Slave" although in time I hope to find a situation which can grow into the 'Part-time Consenual, Real Slave'.

I think these fit me moreso than the other categories based on the idea of 'getting one's pleasure mainly from pleasing the dominant' and the emphasis on practical/non-erotic services. Those are key aspects that drive my desires to submit. It is often in the non-erotic and pleasure the dominant gets that I find the most 'fullfillment'.

[morninggirl5]

I see myself as a 7 Part-Time Consensual, Real Slave, although i prefer the term sub to slave.


Ebony, thanks for the links, they've sparked a very productive discussion for myself and another.

Didn't we have a thread once about submissive vs. slave terminology?

Maybe we can dig it up somewhere for the new folks. Thanks for posting. Glad to see you here again mg.

[subtledecadence]

Part-Time Consensual Real Sub

A.K.A.7. Part-Time Consensual Real Slave

Has an ongoing commitment to an owner/slave relationship and regards oneself as the dominant's property at all times. Wants to obey and please dominant in all aspects of life--practical/nonerotic and fun/erotic. Devotes most of time to other commitments (e.g. job, kids) but dominant has first pick of the slave's (submissive's) free time.

That definition sums it up. I am His, even when involved in the daily grind... in All ways.

We're both Switch. It's never gonna go full-time sub for either of us. At least, I highly doubt it.
