Hi, densuri, apology accepted. I may have been a little harsh, and if so I apologize as well. It is just extremely rare for me to come across an online kink community that doesn't in some way pounce on me because I rarely march in their parade exactly as they wish me to.

I am fully willing to admit that I don't know everything, but at the same time, at the end of the day, what works in my own relationship is not up for public debate.

While I realize now that you weren't doing that, history has shown me, that there is no limit to the number of people online who WILL do that.

I actually once had people in an online forum literally get pissed off that I, as a sub/slave/pet refused to address any dom as master/mistress because of their position relative to me. Their position relative to me, is equal. My master would have caned my ass if I referred to anyone else as master, with the exception of a roleplay scenario that he previously approved.

I completely just 'reacted" because I assumed a subtle passive aggressive snub (which I have previously experienced many times) to be there, that wasn't actually there. On my first post I was automatically a little more wary and defensive/combative than perhaps I should have been. And that's my issue to contend with, you just kind of walked over my button, lol.

But seeing your response to me, I don't believe it was intentional.

And yeah, that was what I was getting to on the pet thing, seeing that term as a condition of servitude...except for SL with VERY few rare exceptions, I have not seen that permutation of the word. I do see "pet" relationships within the lifestyle, but in most situations they involve an actual major "animalizing" of the relationship. And while in some respects I could be likened to a pet in that way, it's largely metaphorical rather than "acted out" with the intention to make me just like a cat or dog.

At any rate, in my own life we flip between pet and slave and it depends on various factors. Though when we're in a schmoopy place, "pet" is a very good way to categorize it for us.

MasterDragon,

hehe, yes, dirty little slut, can be a term of endearment, LMAO!
