ORIGINAL: Focus50 To me, collaring is committment! And I've gotta say I do wonder about the insecurities and self-esteem of any master who "needs" more than one slave. It smacks of perceived status and dick-measuring! Of course, I have no desire or need for a poly relationship so I'll let others relate how successful or otherwise they can be.... Some people are not monogamous - they just aren't wired that way. Someone could say the same thing about people who are strictly monogamous. They could say it is because they are inesecure and have poor self esteem and are afraid that #2 will make them look bad, but that wouldn't be correct either. The answer to what is the motivation behind each individual's needs, wants, and desires is just that - individual. There is on one-size-fits-all here. quote:
For the life of me, I can't believe any master can give 200% committment to 2 slaves for the 100% from each slave he expects in return - it's IMPOSSIBLE! A load shared is a load halved - so is love and committment.... So when a parent has more than one child, their committment to their 1st child becomes only half? Their love is divided in half too? If they have five children each child only gets 20 percent of their love and committment? I don't believe that love and committment are finite things that are split into percentages. My ability to love is infinite. I love many people in my life and I don't have to divide it up amongst everyone. I can commit to many things at a time and as long as those committments don't stand opposed to each other, then where is the problem? When we do find the other woman who will serve my owner beside me and if the fit is right and we are all together for the right reasons, then the love and committment in the relationship will grow exponentially, not diminish. At least that is my take on it. As for the heirarchy thing mentioned in a few posts - I believe that it will establish itself in its own, natural way. Take my relationship for example. I have been my owner's slave for 7 years. When we do begin our relationship with another slave, she and I cannot be the same as we are both coming from very different places. She won't be less than me or more lowly than me. Neither will be better or worse but we most assuredly won't have the exact same relationship with my owner. I also agree with what smilezz said. After being here for so long, I have earned a great degree of trust and privelege. My owner has made financial provisions for me should something happen to him, etc. Someone who is just coming in will not have earned that level of trust yet. Perhaps they will move more quickly along their path to surrender and maybe not, but the reality is that the two of us will have different relationships with my owner - not because one is better or worse but because each is a different person on a different place along the path. I figure there are 4 relationships in each triad. The relationship between a & b, the relationship between b & c, the relationship between a & c, and the relationship shared by a, b, & c together. They will always be somewhat different but as long as each diad is focused on the happiness and fulfillment of the opposite end of the triangle, then in an ideal sense, the relationship would be incredibly strong.
