and my point is that control is rather pointless in of itself... If you don't understand the Motivation behindg their reasons to play!!!

The Abusive Sadist can have just a much Control on his actions as the Consensual Sadist..... Control doesn't seperate them....


It's their MOTIVATION! that you see the differnce between them


Look first to the sadist's motivations... then look to the skill at which they fulfill these motivations.


but as you said...

quote:


Once at a play party in which I didn’t take much part a bottom came up to me and said she had wanted to see me in action, she didn’t seem to understand my answer that there wouldn’t have been much to see , as much of what I do is communicative. Just talking to her can be more dominating than the hardest spanking, but this usually works only with a submissive you have an emotional attachment to.


so if one can't witness the motivations of another thru observation of Demonstrated Behaviors of their SM play... well it's just all Talk now isn't it!!!

actually you said

quote:

If not in control he may go too far with disastrous consequences.


which reflects that if all a subby needs to be aware of is if the Dominant is in Control and also reflects that a Dominant with control will mean that disastrous consequences can be avoided.

In fact... understand of motivation is required first and formost! That control in of it self is not a measure of avoiding disastrous consequences... for even the abusive sadist can have control.

having control doesn't mean the Sadist will not go to far!

well - of course... control is an important quality... no different than skill at using various toyes...


But then that is not what you have been saying now is it....

instead you rather narrowly expressed that Control will protect a masochist from disastrous consequences....

so this new post of yours has absolutely nothing to the discourse of your opinion that control is needed to prevent disastrous consequences... and my counter point that one needs to appreciate the motivations of the Sadist first and foremost!

actualy it delt with motive and self control and what the subbie should be aware of

it was written with a particular subbie in mind and her needs

but it is general enough to apply to many subbies in similar circumstances

really... and where did you actually stated that a masochists should be aware of the motivations of the sadist

it's rather irrelevant for who or why you wrote it.... the question is... understanding what is being said. I personally don't see any statement that a masochist should be aware of the motivations of the Sadist.... only that they should have control!

maybe you can't point out this statement of yours that reflects the motives of the sadist that a masochist should be aware of.

A submissive that enjoys heavy play should be aware of this when seeking a dominant and the consequences a dominants love could have either way. She may be placing her fate in the hands of someone that may loose control.

ok... there is nothing in this statement that actually states Motivations.... you talk about consequences..... but you do refer to "a submissive that enjoys heavy play should be awer of this...." so the questionis what is the "this" that you are refering too?

The "This" you refer to was Control" and I quote you in full..

quote:


As he is the one in control of her he first has to be in control of himself. If not in control he may go too far with disastrous consequences. A submissive that enjoys heavy play should be aware of this when seeking a dominant and the consequences a dominants love could have either way. She may be placing her fate in the hands of someone that may loose control.



I don't see how your statement at the top of my post even comes close to Motives... Control yes. Consequences yes... but again where is the phrase that indicate the "Motives"? simple it is not there!!!

A mildly sadistic man can be fun, a madly sadistic man can be fatal.

so is this your approach... the first statement you provide didn't reflect motives... so try try again till you get it!

frankly...

your statment once again reflects about consequences.... keeping your statement in context of the paragraph that it came from... it was one of consequences and control... no where does it actually reflect motives. And this phrase is the consequnece of a poor masochist that doesn't heed your advice... advice that I feel is lacking.

now your second statement... I don't see in the orginal post of #151... so where did that phrase come from?

quote:

First a d/s relationship is just that, a relationship, it can begin and fail just like any other relationship and for much the same reasons.

I agree.

quote:

It takes a dominant that understands the d/s dynamic and comes to understand his submissive to make it work.

This I do not agree with it. It takes BOTH parties to understand and WANT a particular dynamic to make it work. Both must have a basic understanding to begin with.

quote:

Her motivations are more important than her likes or dislikes of the moment, what does she really want out of the relationship? Is it just the kinky sex or a relationship that includes kinky sex? Understanding the submissives mind will enable the dominant to fulfill his desires and use her to the fullest extent possible.

To only try and understand your partner so that YOU can fulfill your own desires seems one-sided to me and not much of a relationship at all.

quote:

Compromises are a key determinant in the success or failure of any relationship. The question is who makes the greatest compromise

Why does ONE person have to compromise more? There are two people in the relationship ( sometimes more if Poly is involved ). Compromise should come from all ends equally. Otherwise, you run the risk of harboring resentment.

quote:

Which is not to say there is no compromise on his part but rather that his primary desires remain intact. After all we’re dealing with real life here. Some seem to not realize that.

Yes, we are dealing with real life. And in real life, all parties compromise equally somewhere along the line.

quote:

it is much the same way for submissive women, to enjoy having been made to do something more than the act itself, a real sign of submissiveness.

I disagree. There is no submission in being FORCED to do something that is against your values or own ideas. For me, the act becomes one of submission when I can approach it myself, without being forced.

quote:

Would I tell a women I would respect her limits, “no”. Would I ever force something on her that I felt she really couldn’t handle, “no”.

This I am having problems with. In one sentence you state that you will NOT respect her limits, yet in the next, you state that you would not force her past those limits. Seems contradictory to me.

quote:

Would I try to get her to the point that she could, “absolutely”.

Who is to make the determination that pushing her past certain limits would not be determental to her health?

quote:

To me d/s is what we are, not what we do. What we do is sometimes kinky sex, sometimes not. Even in our most relaxed moments we are still d/s. D/s is primarily a state of mind.

This I completly agree with.

quote:

If submission is surrender then she should surrender to his desires and put her desires aside.

If taken literally, then my desire to submit should be put aside?

quote:

that if I’m in control that I’m morally responsible for what I desire and she is blameless for her actions while under my control.

This is wrong. Everyone should be held accountable for their own actions. When things go wrong, it's too easy to place blame on others, why make it even easier?

quote:

After all a good dominant does take advantage of her desire to please

A good dominant never takes ADVANTAGE. He/she understands the desire, but should never take advantage of that desire.

quote:

Safety in a d/s relationship is primarily the dominants responsibility as he is in control.

Safety should fall on the shoulders of ALL involved, not just one.

quote:

Maturity and caring in a dominant are more important than so called years of experience and all the safe words that can be imagined.

I disagree. BOTH are important when safety is concerned.

quote:

If the dream is to be taken control of then what good is her list?

As a guide, as a memento of what he/she MAY be looking for. What good would a dominant's list be for?

quote:

would a very submissive woman really want a dominant that didn’t push her to fulfill his most cherished desires

Again, there is that reference that it is only the dominant that matters. Are you serious in thinking that ANY submissive would give up their own desires simply because a dominant decided that they were not necessary? Again, this is real life, not some fantasy. In real life, relationships of ANY KIND take compromise and work on the sides of ALL involved.

quote:

Early on the submissive woman should realize that she will have to sacrifice her body to the desires of her dominant

Sacrifice? So, you are not looking for a submissive that would willingly give you her body for your use? You would rather have one that felt she had to 'PAY' you?

quote:

The first intimacy is the physical intimacy. The unrestricted access and use by the dominant of his submissives body for his enjoyment. That is one of the reasons the submissive is there. She should be prepared at all times to submit to his touch, inspection and use and to posture herself to his desires. He may reenforce this state of her being by often having her assume poses and postures that open her up to his view and touch. He should do so without undue ridicule of her body, making her uncomfortable at opening herself up. This is not to say that she may not be humiliated but that personal mean spirited attacks should be avoided.

That's a wonderful fantasy if you live in a dream world. Unfortunatly, many of us live in the real world where unexpected visits, children, family, household chores all can happen at a moments notice.

quote:

The second and ultimate intimacy is that of thought and emotion, the seeing inside her. The thoughts and emotions of the very submissive woman yearn to be set free and absorbed by her dominant. She wants to keep no secrets from him, she wants to be completely open to him, for him to know her better than she knows herself

Since you are not concerned with the desires of the submissive, why would you care about her emotions?

quote:

For the dominant to extract his desires from his submissive he cant be overly concerned with displaying respect for her

Very rarely will you find anyone in a HAPPY relationship, of any kind, that does not respect their partner.

quote:

After all he’s going to use her in ways he would never try with women to whom he had to socially show respect. The submissive woman doesn’t want an overly hesitant dominant always afraid he’s hurting her feelings.

Hesitancy over the thought of doing harm should never be compared to that of showing respect. The two are vastly different. .

quote:

The fear of losing the d/s relationship and being set adrift helps drive her to obedience. It is one of the most powerful weapons that her dominant has over her.

Any dominant that feels the need to evoke fear in his submissive to this degree is unstable.

Hello everyone. I am new to these forums and also have zero real life experience in this way of life. I have been reading this thread, and enjoying it a lot.

Many of the things cillydom speaks of resonates with me, and I thank you greatly, cillydom, for posting this.

I think though there is a lot of disagreement in substance between the two camps that have emerged, a contributing factor has been cillydom's style and tone of voice as he makes his points. His posture is that of a lecturer, making his points in a declarative manner, though qualifying them often as saying this is him and his way, but also leaving the impression that this is how it should be.

This impression is strengthened by his reluctance or unwillingness to debate issues in what appears to be a disinterest, or, perhaps, no offense but for lack of a better term, laziness, in replying to objections or counter points.

I don't necessarily fault him for this because he may not wish to engage in debates, which may not be his thing, which, to me, is fine, he is free to make his points and move on to the next subject. He does not have to be lucky albatross or celeste, whose admirable reasoning power, and rigour in handling of issues, is delivered in a manner akin to one of a brain surgeon.

He could be analogues to a scientist with a great imagination, an Albert Einstein who would come up with the insight of the theory of relativity, and leave the math of the proof to mathematicians.

This style of cd's has not bothered me any, because i disregard his dismissive style and savor much of the treasure he delivers. For example, I did not find objectionable his description of the conflict between thinking-woman and submissive woman. I loved the drama he presented there, hated thinking woman, and loved submissive woman.

It made perfect sense to me that the dom and the sub woman would collude and try to demolish thinking woman. I would similarly expect that people who would put their brain on hold in many situations so as to serve a master ("he knows best"), who without objection think of themselves as fuckTOYS on many occastions, and savor this, would identify themselves with the submissive woman and hate thinking woman.

Also his discriptoin of one not wanting to be sadistic towards one's wife after they have been together a long time, after she has born him children, also made a lot of sense to me,....

Anyway, I am delighted to be here, and am learning a lot from all the thoughtful posts. Please continue the discussion, and CM, please don't stop.

And oh-- this post is intended to reflect only the poster's view. Mileage may vary. If the reader of this post wishes to get this post in an email, please let me know, and I will email it to you.

Why would it be desirable to 'demolish' one's analytical side? It is THINKING WOMAN/MAN who determines if it is safe to submit to this person!
Does it not enhance our submission when we are able to THINK of ways to please our dominant, decide how to improve on a certain activity for him/her, suggest something he/she may not have considered?
I do not agree that the analyst and the submissive are at war with each other or with the dominant.
