Dear subshine2005, Ladies and Gentlemen; In the 1990s, when thing were getting more "Internet" exposed and a few self titled Masters were floating around, and slaves were getting caught up into situations, as few "caught on" that there were clueless folks around, abusing the trust and titles of "Masters" and "Mistresses" the community in the support venue, started to think on how to offer a real big "bugger off" to the whanker, controller and unkind folks. So, the "Protection Collar" was created. It was not to stiffle the freedom of the slave and their efforts in finding happiness and such but, a means to use it if you had a bloody fool trying to impose themselves on a slave all alone. But, I will add; that Protection Collars weren't offered like candy. There really had to be a big concern. You know the sort, ex-Masters that make a former slave's life miserable and thwart any effort of another to get the slave's neck. Because, of the known and practiced protocols, another Master had to talk to the Master of the collared slave. This was enforced. Now days, good luck. It just made sure that the slave was comfortable, protected and had somebody to step in if things got out of hand. It would be no different than to inform a DM or host/hostess that you would like special attention, should X or Z becomes a problem. In big crowds and dungeon dances, well -- sometimes a collar would be given for that time, no different than a play collar, just using the term protection collar as not to cause a misunderstanding of goofing around collar aka play collar, that had no meaning or association to a dominant. I'm sure slaves who got into a situation could use that collar as 'protection.' But, as was put in post already-- We're all adults and can take care of ourselves. I have had occassions where I had been approached and asked to be around them, as they were scared of someone or had issues. I was "there" and I suppose I could be intimidating enough to some bloody rude chap, as to make 'em back off. In these incidents, I was asked to "protect" them. But, I did not collar them. The ones who needed protection from some, I really would be agreeable to collaring them, because they are good slaves and need protection from those who can't understand the word "no." I really would keep an open mind on this "use" of protection collar as, it is a case by case situation. Respectfully submitted for consideration, Lady Hugs
