ORIGINAL: MrThorns 3. "The removal of the collar is the end of the relationship." Personally, I refuse to allow an object have that much power over my relationships. A collar, even though it symbolizes many things, is still an inanimate object. The relationship itself should be more important that any symbol, don't you think? ~Thorns I have two black leather collars that my Lord made personally for me to wear. I am not given many opportunities to wear either the dress collar or the play collar. The play collar sits on a shelf in his dungeon and the dress collar stays with me, though it is rarely around my neck. So for him to take the collar off of me and put it in a drawer for a time has little significance at all. It isn't the piece of leather around my neck that means anything. However, I find the phrase "removal of the collar" to have a very different connotation than just taking off a piece of leather. To remove the collar is to remove his ownership of me, so it is to end the relationship. If I am uncollared for a period of time, I am no longer owned for that period of time. It seems that the interpretation of the phrase, "removal of a collar", can mean different things. My interpretation was that it meant to uncollar (remove ownership). Others seemed to interpret it as simply to take the collar off the neck. It all depends on what is meant by removal as to whether it can be an effective punishment or not. Knight's kyra
