You appear to look down on those who choose a different path than yours. While I find it difficult sometimes to see what people get out of it, when they are weekend warriors so to speak or have limits within their relationship, it obviously fulfills a need in them or else they would not do it.

My apologies if that wasn't conveyed by my words. They were responsive to the challenge of the way we live, and not meant to disparage anyone else's "way". There is NO "way".

I DO challenge those that live on-line because I believe they are cheating themselves. I especially challenge those that ONLY have on-line "experience" (NOT the correct word).

quote:

You haven't exactly been honest with many here. When you are it is in private as you are saying everyone here is a joke. Which I am sure you've said about me many times in the past to other's as well. Keep saying it...because I have my own feelings as well.

quote:

I never said every ONE here is a joke, although may people, especially those that have multiple personality disorder evidenced by multiple profiles ARE a joke. If some of the posts here aren't intended to be jokes - they sure fooled me. I accept NO ONE here as real until I've met them. No one should. The large percentage of threads pointing out the fakes, phonies and wannabes bear out that attitude is correct. Yet, if someone posts a question or brings up a concern I trust they are representing themselves honestly. I won't try to interpret what they "REALLY" mean.

The rules portion which is included in My contracts is for the slave's benefit as far as referring to and learning the rules. They are just included in the contract for the sake of convenience, and also indicates that the slave has read them and has agreed and signed.
My rules have a tenddancy to be more on the service oriented side, as opposed to the sexual areas, as the largest percentage of a live-ins life is about non-sexual service (with Me, that is). So it is helpful to have these things clearly understood up front.
Regarding a journal...I say a page a day, handwritten, and I do spend time each week reading, discussing and I initial the entries. It is a good discipline.
Ya know, whatever works for any relationship, is a good thing.
I don't find Myself bogged down by too many rules, and there is always flexibility in given situations. But I have found that most of the boys really want to know, and need some sort of strict guidelines they can agree to, learn and become acclimated to. It seems to make clear My expectations, and they don't have to play a guessing game.

i have heard an awful lot about journals. funny thing is i just never can find anything earth shattering to write about. everyday is the same to me. get up, do what ya have to. go to bed. there is just nothing that sticks in my mind worth writing down. i am lucky if i write in my one here, once a month. and it is mainly my running exploits when i go somewhere to meet someone. my daily life i find dull and boring. and what is the purpose of writing something in a journal when She is right there to talk to? i never could grab that concept. must be some new generation thing.

it doesn't have to be eath shattering. It just has to be something. I write things that I've been wondering about, or things that caught in mymind, or things that I did that I was particularly proud/ashamed of.

If -you- find your life dull, what is there for your owner? I'm not saying this as an insult, rather as an idea for a change of outlook. I figure if I cant muster enthusiasm about my life, why should anyone else?

Sure, my partner is right here to talk to. Sometimes, it's easier to say things in print. For example, I have a very hard time asking for sexual things. We're working on my ability to verbalize it, but my journal is a good place to ask without having to ask face to face. It's sort of an intermediate step for things that make you uncomfortable.
