ORIGINAL: Leonidas Total is total. If you enter into a "TPE" relationship, you can certainly have desires, preferences and opinions about things, but you are surrendering total control. Once the collar goes on, all the decisions are out of your hands. In surrendering all control, you have to trust that the man you are surrendering it to will handle you responsibly, and make good choices for you, since you are no longer making them yourself. So here it is again, the casting about of terms like "Total" promiscuously, then trying artfully to find a way to make it mean what it does not mean. I can't help but suspect that the reason so many are so eager and aching to use words like "total" and "slavery", when in fact they mean "semi", and "submissive", is the notion that a slave is somehow better than a submissive, and TOTAL POWER EXCHANGE is somehow better than a simple Dominant/ submissive relationship. I think there is this idea that if one doesn't rush into that deep, eternal, everlasting agape love, using every superlative word in the thesaurus, then the relationship is somehow lessened, a light beer version of true love.
