Total power exchange

[Flaming_Redhead]

What is the reality of 24/7 total power exchange relationship? I get the feeling there is still a lot of unclarity and discord as to what people refer to by that, (or maybe its just me, lol).

So to start the thread going a few questions:

What does 24/7 power exchange mean to you? Do you view your relationship as such?

Over which things do you give up control and how much, if any, do you get to keep?

The reality is that life happens. No one can live a fantasy 24/7/365. The only reason there is unclarity and discord is that some people dislike labels altogether and some people want a label but twist it to suit themselves.

To me, 24/7 TPE refers to a Master/slave dynamic in which the couple live together. It's a little redundant if you ask me since I don't believe in M/s relationships that are not live-in. How can someone be a Master over someone else if they haven't taken on the full responsibility, right? Anyway, I don't view my relationship as such because we are not yet living together. For now, it's just D/s with a little S&M every other weekend.

As stated, I haven't given up much control, yet. So far, it's mainly been paltry things like hair length, hair color, monogamy, articles of clothing, what time to call him, when to go to bed, etc. Since we live in different states, we both pretty much have to go about our lives as usual. However, when or if I move in with him, it will be TPE which is exactly what it sounds like, i.e. giving up all control.

How many of you agree with the statement that before a girl gives herself to her Master/Owner she has only one more decision to make and that is to give herself up completely? And that her sense of "being a free person" will disappear and she will be totality owned?
Is it possible to be totally 24/7 without being Master or Owner/slave, (just D/s)?


I think thats a fairly common prejudice. Is it true or false?

I don't agree with that statement in the literal sense because we have to make decisions every day. It's the last time she chooses to submit, meaning that she has given up her power to negotiate. I have no idea about what people sense, but she will be as owned as she and the law allows.

It's possible to be 24/7 without being TPE. In the case of D/s, it denotes that you're not bedroom kinksters but lifestylers.

I have no idea what prejudice you're talking about, so I don't know if it's true or false.
