What is a Master??

[SierraMoon]

Thought i would put this up for discussion.... what do you think about the following? It is written from a Dominant Male view, but could easily be also seen from a Dominant Female view.

What Is A Master?


I am a dominant man. I am just that.
I am not dominant because of any superiority on my part.
Not because I feel I am more intelligent, or wiser.
I am not dominant because of the strength or mass of my body.
I am not, nor would I want to be dominant with all women.
Yet to you, I am Master.


I am your Master only after earning your trust and I embrace your submissiveness.
I have looked into your heart and mind and clearly see your desires and passions.
You have thrown away your fears and inhibitions.
You tell me of the needs of your heart and body.
You have given me total access to your soul, and I accept the responsibility and honor.


You are a woman.
You are not weak or inferior because of it.
You are a treasure to be cherished.
We are not equal.
I have the strength of body and mind and the instinctive need to protect, possess, defend and provide for you.
You are a woman and instinctively stronger of will and heart.
Your belief in me gives me courage and direction.
Your strength disperses my doubt.
Your needs and desires encourage and give purpose to my efforts.


We are not equal. We are parts of a whole.
We complement each other and make each other complete.
My desire to dominate you is instinctive.
It is not to degrade you nor is it degrading to you
because you are secure in being totally feminine.
We each recognize and accept our worth,
and our need for someone to trust and fulfill our needs.


You are sure, strong and proud in your womanhood.
You do not submit as acceptance of inferiority, but from strength and passion.
You expect a man to stand strong and be a man.
You desire and flourish in the strength and control of a man.
In return you present control of your body, unqualified trust and honesty,
and the faithfulness of your heart.


You submit because I have earned your trust.
Because I have opened my heart and soul to you.
Because I have listened to your words with my ears and heart and have learned to anticipate your needs and emotions. And because I have proven worthy in your eyes, you have given me the only true treasure of life;
you have given me dominance over you.
What you give is not abnormal, but pure, natural and the rarest gift a woman
could give a man.


You have given me complete and unshakable assurance of your commitment to me.
Your submissiveness is a magnificent gift and sacred responsibility.
I accept this from you with humility and joy.
I understand the rarity and purity of this gift.
I recognize it is your body and soul,
your heart and mind.


I dominate you only because you have allowed it.
I dominate only because you have allowed me to and when I see your body kneel before me, in my mind and heart you are raised above all other women and all the treasures of the earth.
What you give freely cannot in reality be bought and if it could, it would never mean the same.

I found myself nodding in agreement as I read it.

Glad to see it here. I wish every would-be Dominant (male and female) could read and understand it.

For me, some key lines/phrases:

"I am not, nor would I want to be dominant with all women."
"I am your Master only after earning your trust"
"You are a treasure to be cherished."
The twelve lines beginning "I have the strength of body and mind..."
The last eight lines ("I accept this from you with humility and joy...").

Are you the author, or do you know who is? It's an excellent piece of writing, and touches the core of our culture.

 

[Guest]

Outstanding

Thank You...
Sincerely...

The author????

Wow, I just joined this board and came into this thread. That was beautiful and very powerful.

"...I have the strength of body and mind and the instinctive need to protect, possess, defend and provide for you.

That line in particular touches me. The whole thing rings very true though. That was quite lovely.

It would be nice if more people in and out of our culture understood it. I, for one, love not to be embarassed by some of the morons, that call themselves "masters", that think cruelty and stupidity is what we're all about.

 

[Quint]

Mehhh. Not my cuppa. And not just because a.) I'm not into smooshy dominance, since this was pretty mild by that account, or b.) I like to be the sole dissenting voice, since I enjoy being part of the herd as much as the next bovine.

Unfortunately it's the morons who are the loudest and most noticeable.

A bit too domestic for Me as well. though the sentiment is beautiful it smells romantically vanilla to Me. Maybe I am just a loving hard ass!

 

[LadyG]

That was very cool. It describes exactly the relationship I want, actually.

I'm lucky enough to have it It's absolutely incredible. I'm very lucky and I know it.

Yes, i agree and yes,... You are. And that is why You are so respected by so many of us, Ma'am.

 

[ethereal~minx]

..some things are better left unsaid..

What Is A Master?

For many my self included this sentiment could portray the difference between a sub/slave and a doormat. It may sound mushy but its what every sub/slave dreams of finding in an Owner....it may not be what they need but hey everyone can dream

No disrespect meant, Ma'am...

And a lovely hard ass at that! Thank you very much!

Those of you who have read my posts in other threads know that while sensuality is important to me, I am first a sadist - and considered to be well toward the "extreme" end of the scale by many in our community.

After reading some of the recent comments, I re-read the original post. Does it pertain to the romantic/attachment aspects of our culture? Yes. So I presume one could consider it as having a certain tone of "domesticity." "Vanilla?" I don't see it. Romantic, sentimental? Yes.

I dunno. Maybe I want more of a personal relationship - romance, affection, attachment {in both directions} - along with my sadism and Dominance/Mastery. But while I can "play" with someone with whom I don't have that type of relationship, to have an LTR, presumably or preferably a live-in relationship, I would need that attachment and that depth of feeling toward my partner. That wouldn't prevent her ass (and other parts) from being rainbow-hued the vast majority of the time, as well as welted, etc.

Guess i'll take the salad bar approach

Pieces rang true.

Others sounded slightly off-key.

Not enough to ruin the melody, but just enough to distinguish dogma from "great taste, less filling."

Respectfully -

Surely this can be romantically viewed, but also the truth of the matter.

I mean, realistically speaking, isn't this what it's all about? A Master (or Mistress) is what they are because of their strengths, their abilities and thier desires, not only to Dom, but also to take care of a submissive, to lead them, to guide them, to teach them. To give them what they need, which can't be found in other relationships... not through brute force, but through experience, through - trust.

oh - its almost 3AM and I'm exhausted... I hope I made sense, and didn't upset anyone....

What is a Master?

One who is in control of themselves.
One who knows what they want.
One who takes action to get it.
One who has no need to lessen the dignity of another while doing the above.
