Are you serious while asking why its important to be able to count on somebody close to you? Do you really not understand it by yourself and need explanation from others or are you asking it for the sake of having a new discussion thread? Agreed. It's almost like asking why you prefer someone who bathes regularly.

" ohhh I want to please and serve you Sir/Maam...I want to make you happy, I will do anything to show my devotion" they are your words, perhaps...but your actions are what create the trust and uphold your part of the Ds dynamic. as the dominant: don't tell me...show me. as the submissive: I have an innate desire to (be) please(ing) and repulsion to displeasing. my actions to his/her desires are the way I show my devotion and service. There are only so many times I can say the words above and speak of how deep my devotions runs. What his directions and commands do is give me a vessel to express my submission. My actions speak my feelings and emotions better than my words can or will. unreliability creates a chasm between my words of submission and my act of submission.

Well first.. I never got the idea of assignments, that seems so schoolish to me. But when someone asks me to do something and I have agreed to do it note that I have agreed, then why would I push that back on the priority list? I agreed. If the guy is making up silly tasks and assignments for me just to prove dominance he probably isnt someone I would end up with. But lets say for a bit of time I was his, he asked, I agreed, then it is my job to hold up to my agreement. Not so much for him, but for me. Because when I say I will do something, it makes me look bad when I dont. I am not a reflection of my dominant. Any dominant over me can stand on his own merit without needing my behavior to validate his power. I am not a reflection of anyone but me. And I really dont like my reflection to say, liar, loser, poser, unreliable, there is someone I cant count on, flake, ect. I want to know I am the type of person who will do something I promised to do.

Why is it important a submissive be reliable? I don't think a submissive or indeed anyone has to be reliable. I've been coming to these boards for some time and from what I can see there's two main strategies in BDSM - the first is to be reliable, but there is the other, and that is to be totally unpredictable. Being unpredictable often appears to be just as popular as being reliable.

Someone who is unreliable basically isn't acting in the most mature manner he/she can. I only do BDSM and have Ds with mature people. Thus unreliable is an immediate "Sorry, you are not for me" issue.

I don't get this question, at all. Every person needs to be reliable in order to function with another. Male, female, trans etc. Unless you speak of being reliable in some sort of way that eludes me?

~fast reply~ I do have one comment to make on why there may be the perception that there is special emphasis on a submissive individual being reliable. I would hazard that many dominant individuals have already mastered (no pun intended) their own reliability to match their circumstance. For myself, although I am extremely chaotic, I work with individuals on a daily basis who have concrete deadlines that I must meet, so my chaos has to find another outlet, because I -must- be reliable and therefore I take the responsibility for doing so. I would hazard that many submissive individuals also attend to their own needs for reliability, according to their own circumstance. However, when a submissive individual yields to a dominant individual at a certain level, especially if the submissive individual has a tendency towards unreliability, procrastination, etc., the dominant individual, in order to discipline that submissive individual in the direction that will best serve the dominant's purpose, will strictly enforce the issue of being reliable. I have had to do so on a number of occasions, because the servant did not grasp the concept of reliability. Truly, in this case, dedication to the dominant individual's aims in cultivating the practice of reliability will be in the submissive individual's favor as well, since reliability is a much sought-after skill set in the common culture, as well as in the BDSM culture.

ok before I get started on how people pn these boards tend to take things wrong, I will say I am NOT asking IS it important for a sub to be reliable, rather why to you is it important, of course it is importantr, in general its important to be reliab,e no need to throw stones, cause we all have ouit ways of testing and some of you would find not being reliable is one of your ways...if you would care to look, I know why its imprtant to me and my Owner that I am reliable and when I prove not to I understand why for me and Her this is an issue Wwe need to look at, I just thought this would be an interesting thred

christine1 -> RE: Why is it important a submiisive be reliable? (8/6/2008 7:50:50 PM)
OP, it could be interesting, but the way you stated the original topic made it sound like you were asking the same thing as "why is air breathable? maybe if it had a little more info like your last post, it would have gotten different responses.

If I blow anything off, then I'm withholding information that Himself has deemed pertinent and since I don't have all the big picture details I might not be aware that the information may not seem important to me, but it is to him. If I'm late and don't call (rare, rare, rare) then he's going to worry. It's not part of my job description to make him worry about me. If I don't do an assignment or task, then he doesn't have access to the information or result he seeks which could result in decision making that is not in the best interest of the relationship or even result in some financial cost or other cost because of my action or inaction to do his will. For me, this is about enhancing his life and time on this planet because that enhances my own. To make things easier and more entertaining for him, transparency, reliability and willingness are some of the tools I must utilize to get the job done. We recently spent some time in Dublin at the Mespil Hotel. I researched and ultimately choose that hotel because it fit in with our budget and was a perfect location for the areas of Dublin we wished to visit. Had I blown off my research assignment, we might have ended up at a place that wasn't as convenient, was more expensive or was unsuitable for some other reason. Instead, because of my research, we were able to have an amazing time at a great hotel with almost everything within walking distance and the extra money I saved by doing my research and getting the best deal gave us more to spend on the vacation and souveniers as well as the time saved by being able to walk everywhere which allowed us to see more of Ireland than we would otherwise have had the opportunity to enjoy - just an example. :)

For me, reliability in ANY relationship, D/s, friends, family etc., is VITAL. An unreliable person eventually erodes my trust in them, and eventually the relationship fades. It's not just a D/s thing.....

It applies to everyone in my life, not just my girl. There are a lot of things I could say, but the bottom line is: reliability is a measure of how much I can trust someone. I don't deal well with lies, even "white" ones. The fastest way to earn yourself an express ticket out of my life, with extreme prejudice, is to lie to me. Omission counts. I do not trust easily or often, so if you manage to get it, feel special because you're one of the few. My girl has some chronic health issues, so I give her a lot more latitude than I would to someone else. However, I'm only willing to tolerate flakiness to a point. At some point, if she doesn't work to be as reliable as she's physically able to be, my irritation with her lack of reliability will reach critical mass. When that happens -- relationship over. I hope it never comes to that, but I'm a misanthrope. I tend to expect and plan for the worst. I won't presume to tell you how to conduct your relationship with your owner. However, I hope you'll allow me to suggest that you carefully examine why you have failed to be reliable. How important is your relationship to you? Do you consider it casual, and therefore low on your priority list, or does it mean as much to you as a marriage? If it's not important to you, you might want to rethink why you want to be with your owner. If it carries as much weight as a marriage, then I hope you'll do your best to be reliable in the future. Your reliability shows her how much you care and I'm sure your owner will thank you for it.

Daes -> RE: Why is it important a submiisive be reliable? (8/8/2008 4:08:44 PM)
If /I/ was unreliable, I would not be His. For U/us part of being trustworthy is being reliable. He goes out of his way to spend time with me, do what he says he will, and keep his word. If He couldn't rely on me how could he fully trust me, if he couldnt trust me, he would not love me the way he does. It is important for our Relationship that I be reliable and trustworthy. It is important to our dynamic and they way things work. It is based on mutual trust, honesty, and respect.
