To darren: It’s heartening to hear that such a thing is possible! Thank you for sharing that with me. I am, of course, interested in more about your situation but I don’t want to press the issue. I have always believed it possible, but much of my experience centers around very top/bottom (S&M/pain and sensation only) relationship dynamics. The Dominance and submission is relatively new to me, and as a result I am finding it hard to…compartmentalize (if that’s even the appropriate word, which I doubt) my mind in ways that my emotions feel are “okay.” My submission interferes with the opportunities and the emotions of wanting to share experiences with other people than my Mistress, and at other times those emotions conflict with my submission. I dislike both cases.

We will see how things develop, now that opportunity is more ample….

For me, I am a slave and ultimately owned by my Owner. However, with her permission and under whatever guidelines she gives me, I am allowed to pursue other relationships, so long as the other person understands the level of control my Owner holds over me. The other person then has the ability to either accept that or not, but they will not play a dominant role in my life, that role is taken.

I cannot imagine a situation of feeling owned by more than one person, that doesn’t feel like something I could make work. But love someone else, as an equal or in some other arrangement, absolutely.
