Master and the Sub

4 years ago. June 12, 2020 at 1:01 PM

In a conversation with a dear friend of mine he used the term old guard in this lifestyle, now my mind went to an image of an old white guy sitting in a chair with a finely tailored suit, a glass of expensive bourbon in his right hand, and a tightly wrapped cuban burning in between his fingers grasped in his left hand, with a beautiful young naked girl at his feet and him with a wry smile knowing what wealth and power could get you. He replied it was when you served as a submissive before coming a dominate, not at all what I was thinking, I ask if he had been trained this way and he replied no. So after a few days of pondering my thoughts I can say I was born a submissive, now unless your born with a attitude of an evil fucking person or on the day you had your first thought after soiling your diaper I am a dominate, I think we are all born a submissive and at some point in life decide to become either a dominate or submissive via our own decision or life experiences. As a child I was always told children are to be seen not heard, many relatives told me to sit down and shut up, one baby sitter used to lock me in a room until lunch then I made the mistake one day of putting my elbow on the table and getting the back of her hand across my face knocking me to the floor, think she might have been a sadist, needless to say I didn't get lunch and back to the room for not having proper manners. Years later I had my ass beat by a lady we were staying with at the time with a razor strap, blood running down both legs because I got caught playing hide and seek with my brother when we should have been in bed. Countless school bullies would keep me a submissive, as I got older bosses would because of the threat of losing my job, an ex wife because I didn't and still don't enjoy confrontation and the children were involved. I have always known I was a master, I always wanted to be in charge and took charge in my jobs when I could, was told I would make good boss because I was fair but stern. I'm a Leo so for me it's always meant being strong and fight back which I've had to do most of my life, being submissive when the occasion demanded but deep down always knowing who I truly was. Today I still don't enjoy confrontation but I will fight you if I believe I'm right and I stand my ground if I truly believe in my cause. So I say this if you have compassion, empathy, love for all things good and wonderful, can bring yourself to see how others feel, wisdom from a lifetime of pain and servitude, knowledge from what life has taught you then you might make a good master. I wish everyone a wonderful day, big hug but I'm headed off to be a lioness tamer. Until next blog I bid you all a fair well. Lion

 

simplylaura​(sub female){djinni} - Just wanted to let you know that the term "old guard" comes from gay leather culture. A great book to read about this is Urban Aboriginals. For a funny take google "middle aged guard Laura Antoniou".

MstrJ​(dom male){~ENM~} - Such a wonderful post. Thank you for the words today. One little tidbit that I have struggled with is the fact that I feel naturally submissive but desire control and to be in command. I always thought well I am naturally submissive how could I be dominant? Hearing you say these things really aligns with some of the thoughts I struggle with and have given me clarity towards myself. Thank you for the amazing post! Have a great day

Literate Lycan​(dom male) - Great thoughts and I enjoy how you worked it through for yourself. I have a substantially different opinion that hopefully doesn’t take away from your position. I think some are born a blank slate - neither submissive nor Dominant - but most are just born with an inherent ability and direction to be. Life experiences, mentoring, and a considerable amount of just who we are ultimately born to be develop us into who we ultimately become. I had a much different childhood (apparently than most). There was always respect - and I was a child so my parents were in charge. Does that make me their submissive? Not in my opinion. I was their responsibility. Neither submissive nor Dominant. I learned their roles by watching and its what is inside me that developed. In all my myriad positions in life (relationships, work, martial arts, sports) I watched and learned and further developed - most often rising to be responsible and in charge. When I was a Junior Officer and reported to the Flag Officer, was I his or her submissive - no, I was simply subordinate in rank. I was still in charge and my Flag Officers listened to my advice and council (obviously as I rose in rank, more often than when I was a junior - 😎). So perhaps you were in an inferior role when you were younger or a child - in my opinion that doesn’t mean you were a submissive. It was only when you were old enough to fend for yourself that you further decided and developed into the Dominant you see yourself as. I am well aware of a number of very strong, assertive individuals (many women) who in their professional lives are quite the boss - but in their chosen personal relationship chose to be submissive. I do understand avoiding conflict - and hating to hurt others. But I often think of that as a show of strength and not submission. Being flexible to allow for a peaceful resolution doesn’t mean you are submissive - just that you prefer peace over war. That is just my perspective, how I view things. And maybe I’m calling the same thing something by a different name. Maybe I was submissive to my parents during my formative years - I just didn’t know it. And I’m still learning - from others here as I read.

Lion​(dom male){Hazel Eyes} - Submission in parts of our lives doesn't make us submissive, being honest to our true feelings brings us to a descision of if we are dominate or submissive. thanks for your view of the topic.
