ORIGINAL: MissAlison Then again, I think if a Dominant asked ME to pay for my own collar, I'd shake my head and walk away. But, that's just me. I have run into that quite a bit, and that's fine. I dont force anyone to do anything, but if a sub or slave is commited enough, a purchase of a collar is not a lot to ask, and I did say the FIRST collar. But anyway, to the OP, I hope you find what you seek, to A/all that replied, there was a lot of good advice hidden amongst it all. Hey, whatever works for you but I think for most in this lifestyle, a collar is a pretty big thing and symbolic of the bond between the Dominant and their submissive/slave. I think it's generally considered an honor to wear a collar and being asked to 'bring your own', IMHO, cheapens it. It's the Dominant that gives the collar. The submissive/slave (hopefully) earned it. If it works for you then great, but I sure would want my Dominant to put a bit more effort into something so important. To me, it's no less than the equivalent of the vanilla engagement ring/wedding band, and I damn sure wouldn't expect my fiancee to purchase her own ring. Kinda tacky. But again, whatever works for you.
