It's not about taking away the option of safewords, it's about allowing the foundation to develop FIRST such that, when the commitment is made, safewords are no longer required.

One of the reasons We use the protocols of "We" and "it" is to affirm that Our slaves are a part of Us. Tonight, this rang true deeply, in a way that We found touching and totally unexpected. We were (I was) walking past a crowd of people and heard someone say, "Elliot," fairly loudly, We instinctively turned, answering as if it were OUR name ( Read more... )

Anyone who has known Us for a while knows that dealing with the need for outward approval has been a huge journey along Our path to Mastery. In particular, buying Our own vest was a BIG DEAL, one in which We struggled between feeling We "should" wait for it to be given to Us, knowing that Our (het) community rarely did such things and coming to ( Read more... )

An old fear reared its head today, though not quite as old as another We're dealing with (more about that later).

Sent a collar, in the mail, to elcca, who received it yesterday. We can now add, "collared by phone" to Our unusual resume of Ms stuff ( Read more... )

slave elcca came for a visit this past weekend. After about two days, it was obvious that she belongs to Us and with us as a Household. So, she has been collared, though there isn't an physical collar for her yet. It is in the works ( Read more... )

We have been wondering for quite some time why We're not spiritually led to "play" with elliot. It dawned on Us this weekend... "play" these days usually means doing spiritual work and healing. elliot doesn't NEED healing! Therefore, there's no spiritual call for SM.
