A couple of folks were chatting with Philip this evening about our
relationship. They were wanting him to define it for them.
Just about all he could do was assert that he wasn't a slave, and he
wasn't owned.
We've never tried to define it in current yet ever changing kink terms
to fit the masses. He submits to me. He can say no if he wants to.
I'll generally do what I want to do any way, and he'll generally
say...see what saying no got me?
I listen to tone of course.
I watch his eyes and for his own small signs of personal discomfort
with a given situation.

I try to be reasonable, unless I'm playing SDS on him.
He's got the option of opting out of anything at any time, all he has
to do is safeout.
I say he's mine, he says he's mine, past that there is no set
structure or protocol. It just doesn't seem to be needed.

Me, I think that's a Good Thing.

Should we be playing for ouselves, or some imaginary powers that be?

This is clear from your reports :-)

To me, that's very refreshing.

There are winds of change, but my own Scene down here is too
small, and thus tends to be conformist and judgemental in parts.

Do you perhaps think that our brains kind of need a tag to hang things on
for memory or something. Some say, if you can define something exactly, all
the fun goes out of it.

We do love our convenient boxes.
We like to catagorize and define. We like to keep things in a
perspective that we can easliy understand.

I'm not one that likes being boxed though.
I don't mind labels, if they fit and if they're accurate. But in kink
there is the common deal of having set relationship patterns and
easily defined structures.

I think a lot of us still look for a ladder to climb. X, is *more* X
than Y or Z so I'm an X. I'mmore a slave than you are, I'm more
sadistic than you are, I'm a loving dominant and you aren't. I have no
limits and you do...blahblahblah.

Will we ever get past that? Nope, I don't think so.

My G-d, the horror!

You've made things work for *you*!

Congratulations. Seriously.

If people need a label, let them cut it out of their own darn clothing.

Geez.

Some won't. I don't feel like granting them credence.

Well look at SWSNBN, that is a classic example of someone wanting so
badly to fit their percieved mold that they'll latch on to ANY label
that comes along, even if it's only for a few hours.

In the last couple of months she's hit every common dynamic label that
we use and she's never even done *any* BDSM.
