STI Log: June 09, 2004: Modified to remove greets and other unrelated comments and actions and fix My bad spelling (where I noticed) [16:01] * R-Flagg stands [16:01]My topics for today are "The online slave" and "*Forced* submission" [16:02] * kishy smile listening [16:02] * gia{FH} smiles...listening [16:02] all of you are slaves online, so you should all have some experience with this topic [16:02] * felicity{STI} smiles, too..and listens [16:03] * dina{STI} smiles [16:03] the first, most obvious (I think) difficulty with online slavery is the lack of physical interaction [16:03] when I whip a girl online, it does not really have the same effect as if I whip her offline [16:04] sometimes it can Master [16:04] and cyber can be fun ... but it is a poor substitute for the real thing, [16:04] * kishy nods [16:05] so, is there any significant value to the online relationship? [16:05] and, how well does it compare to an offline one? [16:06] before I say that "offline is best", I must acknowledge that I have had a lot of crappy offline M/s relationships, [16:06] communication and trust are extremely important, [16:06] and both of these things easily transfer to an online environment [16:06] and wouldnt communication and trust be with the online experience [16:07] * R-Flagg nods [16:07] they are essential to online or offline [16:07] * felicity{STI} smiles [16:08] I have had an offline M/s relationship as recently as the last year that was very weak in trust and communication [16:08] it ended, and primarily because of these factors [16:08] btw, love was there, [16:08] but love alone will not sustain any M/s relationship [16:08] <{ariella}DG> It is more difficult for a Master to weave the web online to perk the slaves interest.. so the majority of components are in the emotional physical and spiritual sense for online. [16:09] There are four primary elements to human nature: [16:09] Physical, Emotional, Intellectual and Spiritual [16:09] * Da^id nods [16:09] * felicity{STI} agrees [16:10] pretty much everything else can be distilled down to elements of these four [16:10] So, lets look at each one: [16:10] Physical interaction in online relationship is tough [16:10] there can be some, but it is very limited [16:11] Emotional, however, can be pretty much open [16:11] I think a person can be as emotionally attached to someone they know online as someone who is offline [16:11] Intellectual interactions are also unlimited by the medium [16:11] (maybe typing skills interfere) [16:11] * R-Flagg smiles [16:12] * {ariella}DG smiles [16:12] * gia{FH} agrees wholeheartedly on that one [16:12] but for the most part, you can understand the intellectual components of the Master or slave [16:12] * felicity{STI} giggles and nods [16:12] and finally, Spiritual [16:12] again, there should be no limit on this [16:12] if you trust your Master or slave, [16:12] it should not be hard to eventually have them see into your soul [16:13] and see into theirs [16:13] so ... the only significant barriar to online slavery is the physical component [16:13] is that enough to make it not worth while? [16:14] are feelings, intellectual exchange, and touching of another's soul, without physical interaction, valuable? [16:14] of course it leads to hope [16:14] hope to be offline, dina? [16:15] or something else? [16:15] and physical interaction [16:15] not all wish physicial interaction [16:15] reciprocation? [16:15] okay ... poll time: [16:16] rate from 1-10 (1=bad, 10=awesome) the maximum potential you think is possible with an online only relationship: [16:17] those that dont want physical interaction would they have that already [16:17] * felicity{STI} thinks... [16:17] 1 [16:17] 5 [16:17] * R-Flagg waits for at least every girl to respond [16:18] * felicity{STI} thinks it depends...5 [16:18] 10..depending on if both parties want online only [16:18] remember ... "maximum" ... so best case [16:19] * R-Flagg sees 4 numbers and 7 girls [16:19] * {ariella}DG is thinking hard Master Flagg [16:19] gia, kishy? [16:19] <{ariella}DG> the potential should be there.. 10 [16:20] depending on the couple totally.. can be 1 for those seeking rl and 10 for others.. for kishy personally.. 3 [16:20] * R-Flagg smiles at the smoke rising from ariella [16:20] <{ariella}DG> smiles [16:20] yes, I agree that in theory 10 would occur in some situations, [16:20] but the question really is "for you" [16:21] <{ariella}DG> depends on the Master's ability [16:21] well, again, ariella, assume the best case [16:21] <{ariella}DG> that is why ari will stick with 10 [16:22] for this one personally, she thinks 7ish [16:22] * Da^id smiles [16:22] online Master Flagg......please...... [16:22] yaz would not take a collar if not r/l were ever possible [16:22] do you mean using pc only? [16:22] if no* r/l were ever possible [16:23] well, phone would be acceptable too [16:23] been there, done that, no thanks..and yaz has tasted r/l [16:23] email, chat, phone, web-cam ... any technology is allowed [16:23] good remark, gia.... guess it includes all commands and rules for a girls rl her Master could give - but not offline meetings, true, R-Flagg? [16:23] but not r/l physical interaction [16:23] * Da^id nods [16:23] yes Da^id [16:23] gia thinks 10 [16:24] but r/l doesn't have to be from the beginning, just something we are working toward [16:24] with cams, phones....all the other resources [16:24] so, average is 5.3 [16:24] * Da^id smiles [16:24] dina still thinks its in the middle [16:24] * R-Flagg left lina out as she came late [16:25] <{ariella}DG> just like the cream in the middle of the oreo dina sis [16:25] personally, I would have been about 7.5 [16:25] 3 out of 4 [16:25] * lina{D^d} smiles embarrassingly [16:25] * dina{STI} smiles [16:25] well in the middle is good too [16:26] right now dina would take the 1 [16:26] *Laughs* [16:26] * felicity{STI} giggles at dina [16:26] * gia{FH} smiles to dina [16:26] in the final few minutes on this subject, I would espouse the virtue of the slave experience online, [16:27] I know many people who have had very limited exposure to slavery (even submission) or who are afraid of it, [16:27] who discouver a new side to themselves online [16:27] * felicity{STI} nodsss [16:27] perhaps they hope for r/l someday, [16:27] thats how dina started [16:28] so online only is not really what they are looking for, [16:28] but it starts out that way [16:28] it is a great stepping stone to experience, [16:28] girls: [16:28] <{ariella}DG> we dont always know where the path will lead us [16:28] have any of you NOT felt the strength of an online Master? [16:29] * R-Flagg waits only a moment for anyone to raise her hand [16:29] so you all know that experience, [16:29] that strength from online brings a slave to wanting more [16:29] and in and of itself, that experience makes online slavery worth while [16:29] any final comments? [16:30] dina agrees [16:30] * gia{FH} is digesting his words [16:30] next subject then: "Forced" submission [16:30] (if you have soemthing you want to add, there is open discussion after 5 PM PDT) [16:31] Many (many mnay many) girls feel the need to be forced into submission [16:31] at least at one time in their life [16:31] something like 85% of women have *regular* fantasies about being raped [16:31] no one wants to really be raped, [16:32] but in the deep recesses of the psyche, is this innate desire to be taken, used, enjoyed [16:32] wow guess dina isnt sick [16:32] * R-Flagg smiles [16:32] <{ariella}DG> smiles [16:32] how people deal with those ideas varies of course [16:32] some seek dominant Men [16:33] some keep their feelings private [16:33] and some do not act on them at all [16:33] in the search for a natural experience however, [16:34] there is ultimately an element of force [16:34] of non-concentual compliance [16:34] * Messick listens [16:34] online, this might be called a "forced collar" [16:34] or any of a dozen other types of M/s interaction [16:35] there is (in My experience) a line in which every girl desires to be pushed [16:35] to that point, she is compliant, submissive, even willing in an unwilling sort of way [16:36] * dina{STI} agrees [16:36] you all know the poem where the Master pushes the scared girl off the cliff and she flies [16:36] <{ariella}DG> smiles [16:36] there is, in M/s an element of force [16:36] there has to be [16:36] dina didnt [16:36] ask Me later for the poem, dina [16:37] * ta`grape{STI} didn't either [16:37] if a Master is not forcing His girl to comply to His wishes, [16:37] sure thing Master [16:37] one of two things will result [16:37] either she will think He just does not care, and she will fail to be a good (even decent) slave, [16:38] or she will fight His will, taking the proverbial mile from His inch [16:38] * Messick grins [16:39] Masters who do not force their slaves ... at least a bit ... are not Mastering their property [16:39] and the girls will suffer, and the M/s is likely to eventually fail [16:39] * dina{STI} agrees [16:40] * {ariella}DG agrees too [16:40] that said, there are matters of degree [16:40] * gia{FH} agrees too [16:40] a Man who tyranically abuses His girl at every turn is not going to see good results [16:40] it is like the proverb, [16:40] been there [16:40] "In a strong wind grow strong trees" [16:40] * felicity{STI} agrees also [16:41] but a huricane destroys everything [16:41] weak Masters are almost as bad as despotic Masters [16:42] what's a weak master? [16:42] the correct formula for M/s is a constant application of force equal to the girl's ability to resist it [16:42] <{ariella}DG> a Master who allows a slave to walk all over him [16:42] (resist being a physics term ... not to imply that she should be willfully ristant) [16:42] * Skye`` listens [16:43] weak : apathetic, lazy, undicisplined, variable [16:43] I am sure there are other traits of weakness [16:43] complacent even [16:43] * R-Flagg has that problem [16:43] * R-Flagg smiles [16:44] what problem? [16:44] <{ariella}DG> consistency is security for a slave [16:44] complacency dina [16:44] yes ariella [16:44] * felicity{STI} agrees with ariella [16:45] * Skye`` always agrees with ari [16:45] slaves do much better in a consistent environment [16:45] * {ariella}DG smiles at Mistress Skye`` [16:45] but consistent does not mean easy [16:45] but dont slaves need a changes too [16:45] it means that the Master never gives her an inch, and certainly never lets her take a mile [16:46] slaves do need change ... [16:46] never gives her an inch? [16:46] a constant growth as it were [16:46] <{ariella}DG> a good Master knows the slave well enough to when to push [16:46] smiles [16:47] yes ... the steady wind in which she grows strong [16:47] * {ariella}DG smiles at Master [16:47] ohhh dina thinks she needs a lot of growing [16:47] weak slaves are the bane of good Masters [16:47] says what he means and means what he says [16:47] <{ariella}DG> would You say it is all intertwined in the trust aspect of the Master/slave relationship Master Flagg? [16:47] absolutely [16:48] as I have said many times, [16:48] trust is key [16:48] smiles [16:48] * kishy nods [16:48] without trust , the whole thing falls apart [16:48] Master Flagg? [16:48] * Skye`` nods [16:48] what is 'bane'? [16:48] how can a girl respong to force if she does not trust its source? [16:48] yes felicity? [16:48] oh [16:48] bane ... enemy of [16:48] please [16:48] ohh [16:49] thank you Master [16:49] now, poll time: [16:49] smiles [16:50] how many of you (girls) think you would respond positively to being forced to do something? [16:50] raises her hand [16:50] by a trusted Master or a stranger? [16:50] * {ariella}DG raises her hand.. its the trust with Master [16:50] if i trusted the person yes [16:50] * R-Flagg counts 8 girls [16:50] yes trust is accepted [16:50] * felicity{STI} is thinking on it [16:51] if always been forced than no [16:51] positive with a Man kishy trusts [16:51] * lina{D^d} stretches up a hand [16:52] if it was a trusted person, one you trusted to do what was best...and not extreme force like the hurricane, then yes [16:52] <{ariella}DG> sometimes there is a tad bit of fear of new things and a push can also be needed [16:53] true [16:53] gia has problems with the term 'forced' Master Flagg...being 'stretched' to do something 'beyond' her .....if that is what you speak of then yes Master [16:53] a bit of force, even from a stranger, can be erotic [16:53] yet a good Master will know the limits of his slave [16:53] but cant be forced all the time [16:53] sorta like an understanding force [16:53] ash ... I think is the only holdout [16:54] * ash{Brin} rises hand wiggles fingers [16:54] * gia{FH} chuckles to felicitys fwords [16:54] but otherwise, 7 yeses (with some qualifications) [16:54] ok, 8 [16:54] * R-Flagg smiles [16:54] * felicity{STI} smiles at gia [16:54] all of you acknowledge the need for some kind of force [16:54] * kishy nods.. its a need [16:54] need..hmm [16:55] trusted, non-huricane, stretching force, [16:55] but still force [16:55] giggles [16:55] * R-Flagg smiles [16:55] On "forced" collars, [16:55] willing force? [16:55] if gia is willing how can it be force please Master? [16:55] this is why I do not completely dislike them, [16:55] trust implies willingness [16:56] true, gia [16:56] if it were someone you hated, gia? [16:56] * gia{FH} hushes and saves it for later [16:56] if a girl needs someone to make her submit, [16:56] or that you knew would not be a good Master to you? [16:56] <`Mecurio> willingness implies trust [16:56] then there needs to be a level of force from somewhere [16:56] like maybe in a certain area? [16:56] unwilling to submit, she means [16:57] if a girl complies, she changes her nick, [16:57] * gia{FH} tries to comprehend [16:57] agrees' [16:57] then she submitted at least at that point in time to the force of that Master [16:57] yaz does not need to be forced to submit constantly, she enjoys submission, but perhaps a good Master will challenge her to grow, examine HIm and herself, and grow [16:57] thinks dina needs a little force to submit [16:57] whooops..growing a lot here ;) [16:58] * R-Flagg nods to dina [16:58] * felicity{STI} thinks all need some force in some areas...to grow [16:58] * yazminah nods to felicity{STI} [16:58] or push [16:58] I think all girls need something to force them to make that choice [16:58] exactly felicity [16:58] direction [16:58] which choice, Master Flagg? [16:58] yes, gia [16:59] to submit, yazminah ... either to a collar or to a new thing her Master wants from her, [16:59] its in dina's desire to submit but than she holds herself back [16:59] submission is a never ending journey [16:59] * felicity{STI} nodss to dina [16:59] You are assuming a girl won't naturally seek to be challenged, Master Flagg? cause there are times yaz begs for something new to do [17:00] * R-Flagg smiles [17:00] its not gias intent to be disagreeable Master Flagg....perhaps its a matter of symantics or specifics but .....gia as of now is online only and does not comprehend 'forcing anything online' [17:00] * R-Flagg is making no assumptions [17:00] only stating My opinions [17:00] okay gia [17:00] mmmm.... I might add my view.... [17:00] certainly Da^id [17:00] true, gia, because online is different [17:00] just one remark: [17:00] * felicity{STI} listens to Master Da^id [17:01] * dina{STI} listens [17:01] there's a difference in how I see it and how I handle it as tavern owner..... [17:01] I agree with you, R-Flagg, that some forced collarings come out of that need to have an element of force into it.... [17:01] in that meaning I agree that there's a good pint in some forced collarings.... [17:02] but I saw too much abuse of it - not in violating girls (every girl can use the X to escape) - but in making a playscene out of it [17:02] that's why I dont like it, it supports just playing it [17:03] and usually dont last very long [17:03] listens, enjoying the discussion [17:03] * felicity{STI} hasn't ever seen a forced collaring [17:03] yaz thinks a true Master, before force collaring a girl, should know her, and know they are compatible, at least in long-term goals and view of Gor for example [17:03] * dina{STI} doesnt comment [17:04] but the point was to be pushed by someone we trust.. not a stranger forcing some steel around the neck.. (was forced collared by a stranger .. for about 5 minutes) [17:04] there are some FW are 'forced' to submit to a collar some times 3 times a day....gias watched it Masters [17:04] * R-Flagg nods [17:04] yes, I have also seen it where it has forced the girl to make up her mind ... she has wanted to submit, but been afraid ... the "force" of a collar makes her finally agree [17:04] . [17:04] "Forcing" example: [17:04] on a few occassions, a girl has said something to Me and I have asked for a source, and she has not wanted to give it to Me. Not a good idea. On pretty much all occassions, I have eventually "forced" the girl to do it, even though it is totally online. And gia, you have experienced that, no? [17:04] if He feels it would be a good match, then a forced collaring can be successful, but He should not force collar a girl just to own another one [17:04] gia, thats exactly what I meant [17:04] they return to FW status and go do it again [17:04] smiles to Master ` [17:05] smiles to Master `Mecurio [17:05] yes Master Flagg.....gia has [17:05] it was a nasty experience [17:05] * R-Flagg smiles [17:05] * gia{FH} laughs [17:06] anyways girls ... discussion is over [17:06] * R-Flagg sits
