Scening

This past weekend, I got introduced to the idea that scenes doesn't have to include sex. What does E/everybody think about this?

Hair of submissives and slaves

I read an interesting article on another website and it made me realize something that the piece didn't really mention. Did Y/you know that Y/you can look at S/someone's hair and possibly tell whether T/they are a submissive or not? Don't believe me? L/let's look at some facts. In many cultures, there are rules on how O/one is required to wear T/their hair; especially for W/women. Some ethnicities require its M/members to cover T/their heads completely. For T/those who follow practices such as these, are SUBMITTING to a chosen culture or creed, whether they realize it or not.

Chivalry and the BDSM lifestyle

While a submissive or slave will serve their owner within their limits, can we expect a Dom/me to be chivalrous towards us or is this something that is not prevalent in this type of dynamic?

Obedience

As submissives and slaves, we are expected to serve the One that owns us. But what happens when we are given a task to complete and after so many attempts of completing it, we can't for some reason and our owner grows impatient with us? How can we handle situations like this?

Subspace outside of intimacy

Most of U/us know about subspace. But M/many may not know that subspace can occur outside of intimacy. One example of this is when i dance in SL, that i actually go into subspace.

As A/alot of U/us know, subspace happens when the sympathetic nervous system responds, which makes endorphins and epinephrines flow throughout the brain. Basically when these chemicals are released, the person goes into a trancelike state. Being that epinephrine and endorphins are part of the fight or flight response, it makes sense that subspace can occur in times when T/those are not engaged in a sexual activity.

Empowerment

For T/those W/who know me through my writing and/or in person, know that my journey as a submissive hasn't been easy. In the first blog post that i wrote for SOS, i gave E/everybody a glimpse into my last relationship and the effects it had on me. It's been over a year since my ex Master and i have parted ways and i wanted to give Y/you A/all an update on how i am doing.

I honestly didn't have any plans in writing this post, as i didn't want to burden P/people, however i did something that completed my healing process and i couldn't have done it without A/all the support that E/everybody at SOS, my F/friends and my sisters have given me.

About six months ago, i received devastating news from someone that my ex and i both knew. A few days ago, i decided to tell my ex the information that this individual shared with me. From this conversation spurred others that lasted over the course of four days. These talks lead to me telling Him why i left Him and that He can't hurt me anymore.

I just want to take this opportunity again for A/all of Y/you at SOS, my sisters and my F/friends, for helping me get through the hurt that my first love and first Master.

Serving submissives and slaves

Did the title of this blog post make Y/you blink? Good. I did too when i heard a Dominant say that Masters serve Their property. I'm curious on what O/others think about this.
