Again no such thimg as THE TRUTH. Only a congruence...a shared reality. ive 'met' a guy, who truly believes we have something worth working on - i beg to differ - i could listen to his reasoning and it would make sense from my perspective - on its own, divorced from what ive already learnt - i could pluck his truth out of the mire and make it shiny and new for me, but i know, from previous experience that his truth is flawed. i agree that there shouldnt be timing to collars - the purists argue that a collar is a symbol of time spent and certainty achieved - but for some it is a symbol of connection and a celebration of that. in the end, whatever feels right for each is right for them. i would hope that in the moment of giving a collar there is no duplicity, no lie, no need for it. for godsake we're grown ups here, we dont need to con each other into bed - im sure prin is more than capable of making up her own mind who she wants to have sex with and who she doesnt. a collar isnt going to sway her. but it is going to sway her belief that when a collar is placed around her neck that the promise made when it was, was meant. only fair - for me, though i wore a collar quite early on, almost straight away in fact, it wasnt the collars fault, but it did became a symbol of my stupidity, rashness, too much faith in a relative stranger, belief in words, deeds, rules, promises. made worse by the fact that i couldnt get the damn thing off until the allum key arrived in the post (with a compliment slip by the way!).. laughing! i can laugh now, but that thing burned around my neck for days before i could get it off. people can flame and bitch and get all 'pissy' (dark, tsk!"), but what grown up people choose to do is their business, within the remit of their grown up relationship, not for anyone to criticise. the point here is that the promise wasnt followed through, and a symbol of that promise of ownership, wanting, keeps, desire, honesty, trust was then treated like nothing, absolutely nothing, it might as well have been one of merc's flies he'd swatted for that big fat over fed spider of his. ...but how can it mean anything if its given so easily and taken away so fast - yes, our point exactly - clearly it didnt mean anything to them, but it meant something to us because of the words, promises and our submission and because of the feelings we shared right then. we took it seriously - not a fashion statement, not a trinket, it was worn in good faith. maybe it was given in good faith at the time - and all of the wonderful times and happyness that followed cemented the collar deeply into our psyche. it was lived with, slept in, bathed with, his fingers probably curled around it a few times too and pulled you up close for a kiss. its not an inanimate object - stuff was breathed into it while it shone around our necks. it was a symbol of them. and then it got pissed on.... left dangling like so much christmas tinsle festooned around a redundant tree left in the back yard. thats not the promise that was made and at the very least a proper goodbye, a decent reason, a gesture of loss would give the end some dignity.
