   *Michael's nikki* | <listening>
      Lord Excalibur | Training for me always starts with messages and 
                     | e-mails to arrive at certain
      Lord Excalibur | times
      Lord Excalibur | this gives me an insight into the sub and her needs
*Night Spirit [HOST] | like daily at 6pm kind of thing
      Lord Excalibur | yes thats it
              Dakini | evening all
*Night Spirit [HOST] | hiya Dakini
      Lord Excalibur | bearing in mind most relationships start in cyber
   *Michael's nikki* | Really, Lord E??
              Dakini | im not normaly up at this time, hope its a  good 
                     | topic
*Night Spirit [HOST] | so you begin with a simple tasks to see how well 
                     | they do with that task?
      Lord Excalibur | ok for me anyway Mn
*Night Spirit [HOST] | Dakini topic is training giving ideas and dos and 
                     | don'ts
              Dakini | what is the topic btw ?
              Dakini | ah i see
              Dakini | thanks night spirit
*Night Spirit [HOST] | :)
   *Michael's nikki* | Lord E......please....<smile>......call me 
                     | nikki.....
      Lord Excalibur | yes and to also get a feel for how submissive they 
                     | are and dedicated to D/S
      Lord Excalibur | of course my dear
*Night Spirit [HOST] | ok hold that thought
*Night Spirit [HOST] | Eldersign what are your first steps
              Dakini | whose eldersign
           Eldersign | :thoughtful: In training a new submissive...I start 
                     | with a few
           Eldersign | presupposed ideas...that she has needs...she has 
                     | sought a
           Eldersign | compliment, me, as an answer...and so, I look first 
                     | at her
           Eldersign | self-discipline, and try...
              Dakini | sorry hon didnt see you there :)
           Eldersign | ...using things such as Lord E...to build her self
           Eldersign | confidence...
           Eldersign | ...give her the ability to rely upon HERSELF, to a 
                     | degree...
      Lord Excalibur | yes Elder I also give her a questionaire
              Dakini | can anyone GIVE someone else self confidence
              Dakini | i dont think so
           Eldersign | ...once she has that, she can begin to explore 
                     | without the
           Eldersign | apprehension of her own uncertainties.
       MoL's Katie J | I'm with you, Dak
                Leda | Don't think so either, Dak.
      Lord Excalibur | I disagree Dakini
         effy <busy> | they can give someone the support to find the 
                     | confidence that they may
         effy <busy> | not have used in awhile
*Night Spirit [HOST] | hugs little sis
       MoL's Katie J | hugggs, Big Sis :)
            *~tina~* | think Eldersign means he helps foster that sense of 
                     | self confidence
      Lord Excalibur | true effy
*Night Spirit [HOST] | support does build confidence
      Lord Excalibur | hi Katie
   *Michael's nikki* | Possibly GIVE is the wrong word to use......how 
                     | about *BUILD*???
 GrandPaDeSade[Host] | Dak, buy showing someone support you can build up 
                     | thier self-confidence
       MoL's Katie J | good evening, Lord E
       *mystic rain* | thought he said build
           Eldersign | A submissive who can successfully DO what I ask...is
           Eldersign | going to become more confident she can please and
           Eldersign | satisfy me...and THAt is what i try to build.
      Lord Excalibur | remember a MAster is there to protect and support 
                     | as well as everything else
*Night Spirit [HOST] | I agree with your statement Eldersign
      Lord Excalibur | I agree with Elder
             Charley | and don't forget love
*Night Spirit [HOST] | OK other Doms here what do you do for your first 
                     | steps in training
             Charley | it has to flow both ways
 GrandPaDeSade[Host] | It is Master's responsibility to protect and support
      Lord Excalibur | I had not Charley
      Lord Excalibur | thats what I said PGDS
*Night Spirit [HOST] | good one charley and welcome :)
             Charley | thank you
      Lord Excalibur | bloody fingers
 GrandPaDeSade[Host] | You said is there to, I strengthened it to 
                     | responsibility to leave no doubt
             Charley | I try to use love and their passion
*Night Spirit [HOST] | George what do you do at the beginning of training?
      Lord Excalibur | I understand sorry GPDS
           GeorgeOTJ | I go indepth in discussion of all sorts of topics
           GeorgeOTJ | attempting to learn as much as possible about my
           GeorgeOTJ | sub.
             Charley | GPDS?
*Night Spirit [HOST] | GPDS=GrandPa DeSade
             Charley | ok
             Charley | just got it myself
           GeorgeOTJ | By leaning as much as possibile it allows me to
           GeorgeOTJ | conduct training in the best possible manner for 
                     | that
           GeorgeOTJ | paticular sub
*Night Spirit [HOST] | ok so what I have gathered is 1.  learn about the 
                     | sub 2. set simple tasks and
*Night Spirit [HOST] | compliment them when tasks are completed
              Dakini | to what end ?
      Lord Excalibur | thats the basics yes
              Dakini | surely the aim has to be in sight
*Night Spirit [HOST] | to begin a relationship
*Night Spirit [HOST] | Dakini tell me the aim
              Dakini | what are you *training* them for
   *Michael's nikki* | <tugging marie in to sit beside me>   HUGGGGS!!!!
*Night Spirit [HOST] | Dakini what do you train them for and how?
      Lord Excalibur | to serve you to the fullest extent Dak
               marie | hello all squeezing in next to nikki
      Lord Excalibur | surely
             Charley | I train them to get please ure from pleasing me
              Dakini | thankyou i just wondered :)
*Night Spirit [HOST] | Charley how do you get them there
                   o | Master once said to me...that the purpose of 
                     | training...is to help a slave...become...more fully 
                     | and completely...the person they
                   o | were meant to be...
 GrandPaDeSade[Host] | The aim actually varies with the submissive for me
*Night Spirit [HOST] | o that is a good quote--thanks for sharing it
*Night Spirit [HOST] | ok GrPa--how?
                Mary | it would for me too, GPDS!
   *Michael's nikki* | "meant to be" in *who's* eyes, o???
             Charley | I treach them love
                   o | you're welcome....NS...hi all...
              Dakini | id have severe doubts about any dom/me who claimed 
                     | they could see what a person
              Dakini | was "supposed to be"
           GeorgeOTJ | I agree with Charley, it's important to me that she
           GeorgeOTJ | derive pleasure from pleasing me or she won't be
           GeorgeOTJ | around long.
             Charley | and how to achieve satiusfaction by pleasing me
 GrandPaDeSade[Host] | I want us both to get as much out of the 
                     | relationship as possible, so i tailor
 GrandPaDeSade[Host] | training to the submissives needs
                   o | no...i do not mean like that Dak....i mean...about 
                     | realizing...potential
*Night Spirit [HOST] | ok so 3. Important the sub enjoys pleasing the 
                     | Master/Mistress
             Charley | It's not too much differnet then trianing a dog
                   o | not...forcing someone to be what they are 
                     | not...but...helping them...to grow, change...develop
               marie | excuse me Charley?
              Dakini | i understand what you meant o, but its a hell of a 
                     | claim for anyone to make to
               marie | do you mean a pet, that you treasure?
              Dakini | say they can do that for someoen else
                Mary | a dog??????????????
           Eldersign | :covers his eyes:
       MoL's Katie J | oh, Charley, you had me with you until the last.
           GeorgeOTJ | <raises an eyebrow> I don't think I'd go to that 
                     | extent
       MoL's Katie J | <shaking head>
               marie | that you take responsiblity for to
               marie | care for above all else..
             Charley | Sorry if I offend you
*Night Spirit [HOST] | well a dog has no free will and sub does
 GrandPaDeSade[Host] | Dak, you find out about the submissive by talking 
                     | to them.
       MoL's Katie J | ya, Elder, it's not going to be pretty <G>
            *~tina~* | hopes charley didnt mean that literally...but I 
                     | think I understnad what you
            *~tina~* | meant charly
           Eldersign | No kidding.
              Dakini | one would hope so gpda
             Charley | but the best trainers use love also
                   o | someone...who is very wise...who truely 
                     | cares...can...
              Dakini | but that doesnt always happen
      Lord Excalibur | communication in all relationships is impotant 
                     | especially in a D/s relationship
*Night Spirit [HOST] | I think charley meant the training of a sub and a 
                     | dog runs certain parellels
*Night Spirit [HOST] | <sp> where is MOL when I need him
             Charley | I only used it as it as a comparison
           Eldersign | I have a question for o...if she will accept it.
   *Michael's nikki* | Freudian slip, Lord E  <laughing>
       MoL's Katie J | in Albuquerque
              Dakini | i thought charleys statement was perfectly 
                     | reasonable
                   o | i am happy to hear it Elder...and if it is 
                     | permitted i will answer
           Eldersign | nods
      Lord Excalibur | tols you my fingers wern't working Nikki <s>
*Night Spirit [HOST] | we need to get that man a laptop
       MoL's Katie J | I am his laptop.
              Dakini | lol
         effy <busy> | <chuckling>
                Mary | roflmao!
 GrandPaDeSade[Host] | Some submissive would like to be trained as a dog 
                     | anyway. (Excluding the
 GrandPaDeSade[Host] | meaning used here.)
*Night Spirit [HOST] | o you may always answer here :)
               marie | yes Grand Sir.. they do..
           Eldersign | O is the best "slave"...as opposed to a 
                     | "suibmissive"...I've
           Eldersign | ever seen...and I'm wondering what her view is of 
                     | the
           Eldersign | differences the two categories require in training.
*Night Spirit [HOST] | well some subs like to be trained to be furniture
                   o | NS...not if it is something Master does not permit 
                     | me to speak of...<s>
             Charley | you cannot beat love in to any cereature
              Dakini | i dont think she meant permitted by us nightspirit
               marie | it's the objectification and exhibitionism that is 
                     | brought forth
 GrandPaDeSade[Host] | Correct marie
*Night Spirit [HOST] | Master allowance is different sweety--I meant for 
                     | us here it is ok :)
             Charley | and depending on the subs requirements
                   o | thank you for your compliment Elder...i am...what 
                     | Master makes me...and...<thinking>
             Charley | you must design a degree of discipline
 GrandPaDeSade[Host] | Very true Charley
*Night Spirit [HOST] | o are you what Master makes you OR are you what 
                     | Master and you make you?
      Lord Excalibur | I agree totally Charley
       MoL's Katie J | <thinking what a lot of work MoL has ahead of him>
             Charley | it takes 2 to tago in any dance
*Night Spirit [HOST] | 4. discipline---ok what kind of disipline should be 
                     | used in training?
                Mary | not true, Katie!
       MoL's Katie J | o left, NS
             Charley | tango
      Lord Excalibur | depends on the sub NS
 GrandPaDeSade[Host] | And, Charley, any dom who tries that, a sub should 
                     | run away from fast
*Night Spirit [HOST] | Lord E please explain
       MoL's Katie J | <hugs Mary>
              Dakini | a dom who has to resort to physical violence has 
                     | failed as a dom imo
             Charley | a dom must find out what the sub requires
         effy <busy> | <got lost> any dom who tries what?
             Charley | pain humiliation
                   o | apologies all...got dumped...
             Charley | etc  and the supply it well kaced with love and 
                     | reward
                Mary | To me, the training of a sub or the training of a
                Mary | Dom/me depends on the entry level first and
                Mary | foremost.  I would train a new Dom/me differently
                Mary | than I would a new sub.
 GrandPaDeSade[Host] | Beating something into a submissive
   *Michael's nikki* | wb o  <smile>
      Lord Excalibur | some need physical punishment and some mental
                   o | hi nikki...
         effy <busy> | thank you GrPa
             Charley | on line it is all mental
       MoL's Katie J | w/b o, and you need not apologize for the quality 
                     | of your connection :)
*Night Spirit [HOST] | well punishment can be--stand in the corner, eat 
                     | out of a bowl on the floor
*Night Spirit [HOST] | spanking with a tool the sub doesn't like--but in 
                     | all reality it is agreed upon
*Night Spirit [HOST] | before hand by both parties
   *Michael's nikki* | Dak....physical violence = abuse  (does it not)????
                   o | Elder...not sure if you got my response...
             Charley | not if the sub requires it
           Eldersign | No, o...I did not.
              Dakini | non consentual physical violence yes nikki
*Night Spirit [HOST] | o I am glad you are back dear :)
                Mary | I disagree with you, Charley, it can sometimes be
                Mary | physical if online as well as mental.
 GrandPaDeSade[Host] | nikki, not if it's consensual, and what the 
                     | submissive wants
               marie | LE mental punishmetn - could you define?
              Dakini | who decides that charley ?
                   o | i said...thank you for your compliment...i am what 
                     | Master makes me...and then...<thinking>
             Charley | the sub  in reality
*Night Spirit [HOST] | yes let's discuss mental punishment for a naughty 
                     | sub in training
             Charley | if it is not what she  or he  requires
              Dakini | or lets discuss it for sadistic pleasure too :)
             Charley | she ids gone
           Eldersign | I do not use deprivation...I find it self-defeating.
          MadAtTimes | hi all
              Dakini | hi mad
      Lord Excalibur | sorry got distracted
 GrandPaDeSade[Host] | I can do exactly the same thing to NS. If she 
                     | thinks we are playing she will
 GrandPaDeSade[Host] | enjoy it. If she thinks she is being punished, she 
                     | will not because she knows
 GrandPaDeSade[Host] | she has disappointed me.
           GeorgeOTJ | Evening MAD
          MadAtTimes | hi Dak
              Dakini | fancy seeing you here at this time mad
*Night Spirit [HOST] | ok charley here is a thought--the sub in training 
                     | is a masochist--that change
*Night Spirit [HOST] | how you conduict the training?
      Lord Excalibur | thank you GPDS
*Night Spirit [HOST] | hugs MAT
          MadAtTimes | hi George
          MadAtTimes | hugggs NS
          MadAtTimes | brb all
                   o | Elder...do you still wish me to answer...?
      Lord Excalibur | more or less as I would have described it GPDS, 
                     | excuse me all I am lagging by
      Lord Excalibur | about 30 secs
           Eldersign | Surely...if the room allows.
*Night Spirit [HOST] | so punishment of a sub in training should be very 
                     | different from play?
              Dakini | i think a lot of us are lord e
                   o | yes...i wasn't sure...if...the conversation had 
                     | moved on....<hates compuserve at times>
*Night Spirit [HOST] | yep seems CompuServe is lagging
              Dakini | i dont think you can make any set rules up like 
                     | that night spirit
      Lord Excalibur | yes NS, LA enjoys spanking but hates it when its 
                     | punishment
           Eldersign | I agree with GrPa...WHAT you do is less important 
                     | than
           Eldersign | HOW it's done...and taken.
 GrandPaDeSade[Host] | Sometimes I even have to support her after a 
                     | punishment because she is so upset
 GrandPaDeSade[Host] | at letting me down. Sometimes I don't even have to 
                     | punish her, because she is
 GrandPaDeSade[Host] | already punishing herself more than I could ever 
                     | do. That is when she needs
 GrandPaDeSade[Host] | love, reassurance, and support.
              Dakini | agrees with elder for once
      Lord Excalibur | excactly Elder
           GeorgeOTJ | So it may be the intent rather than the act that 
                     | makes
           GeorgeOTJ | it enjoyable or not.
*Night Spirit [HOST] | ok Dakini is play and punishment similar?
                   o | one main difference to me...Elder...would be about 
                     | negotiation
            *~tina~* | <s> GPDS
      Lord Excalibur | agree totally GPDS
           Eldersign | nods to o
*Night Spirit [HOST] | good point o
              Dakini | i think its different for different players 
                     | nightspirit
           Eldersign | o...may I send you?
      Lord Excalibur | LA at times ppunishes herself more than I would
             Charley | good night all
                Mary | g'night Charley
*Night Spirit [HOST] | Night charley and thanks for stopping by
              Dakini | night charley
           GeorgeOTJ | Night Charley
      Lord Excalibur | night Charley
       MoL's Katie J | g'nite, Charley .. same time next week :)
           *Spartan* | Kisses little one........sorry, traffic getting 
                     | home....<s>........
*Night Spirit [HOST] | Dakini can you give us insight to trainings you 
                     | have been through?
                   o | Elder...i must ask you to check first with Mistress 
                     | LWS...and since she is not here...i would ask that 
                     | you don't at this time...
            *~tina~* | kisses Daddy <s>
           Eldersign | Evening, Spartan. :)
           *Spartan* | A good evening to 
                     | all..........................................
           *Spartan* | .
*Night Spirit [HOST] | hugs my favorite hairy guy
               marie | i think in general subs are much harder on 
                     | themselves..
              Dakini | i havent had any training at all night spirit
               marie | and a good Dominate who knows his sub realizes 
                     | this..
      Lord Excalibur | hi Spartan
 GrandPaDeSade[Host] | I think many submissives, if given the choice of 
                     | punishments, would punish
 GrandPaDeSade[Host] | themselves more than the doms will.
            *~tina~* | <nods>
               marie | sometimes just the words * I am very disappointed* 
                     | is enough
           Eldersign | :nods to GrPa:
           *Spartan* | huggs and shakes around, not to disturbe the 
                     | CO..................
*Night Spirit [HOST] | marie why do you think this happens?
         effy <busy> | god i hate those words, marie
          MadAtTimes | <back>
      Lord Excalibur | I would agree with that GPDS, LA most vetainly does
           GeorgeOTJ | I agree marie, mine HATES that
*Night Spirit [HOST] | CO is ideas and dos and don't of training
               marie | and they use them soooooooo well don't they effy
         effy <busy> | yes <looking down>
           *Spartan* | <lookin round>..who ...us...<innocent look>..
               marie | I know when Michael is slighty vexed just by a word 
                     | or two
       MoL's Katie J | <hasn't heard that one .... yet.
           Eldersign | I'm VERY careful, using those words...they are 
                     | destructive,
           Eldersign | if said seriously.
               marie | which one Katie?
                Mary | wait til you do, Katie!  <g>
*Night Spirit [HOST] | Spartan what golden thoughts can you offer about 
                     | training
       MoL's Katie J | disappointed
      Lord Excalibur | yes marie the way in which something is said can be 
                     | punishment enough
               marie | i agree Eldersign.. i havne't heard them but once 
                     | or twice
           *Spartan* | is there any other way to say them Elder ?
         effy <busy> | there are very few things that can make me cry, but 
                     | that's one of them
           *Spartan* | oh my NS......
           Eldersign | "I might have been a bit happier if you had done 
                     | this,
           Eldersign | subbie...", etc.
           *Spartan* | <--- cant stand tears....................
          MadAtTimes | has said those words and recrafted the feeling of 
                     | trust after
   *Michael's nikki* | <gggggr>
           *Spartan* | hate them, hate them, hate 
                     | them...............................................
 GrandPaDeSade[Host] | I would rather punish her than tell her I am 
                     | disappointed. That leaves her
 GrandPaDeSade[Host] | feeling she hasn't been punished, but needs one. 
                     | Sometimes she will try to
 GrandPaDeSade[Host] | punish herself.
   *Michael's nikki* | (booted)   sorryyyyyy
*Night Spirit [HOST] | tears---what happens when that happens?
              Dakini | i dont think i could accept training from anyone as 
                     | a domme except on very
              Dakini | technical issues such as how to use a cat or  some 
                     | such thing, otherwise, well
              Dakini | i prefer my own ways and couldnt really accept 
                     | anyone else knew any better
      Lord Excalibur | love comfort support
           Eldersign | You put aside the problem for the moment and heal 
                     | the loss
           Eldersign | of control.
           GeorgeOTJ | Good advise Eldersign
   *Michael's nikki* | I have cried and felt the disappointment that 
                     | Michael feels when I have shed
   *Michael's nikki* | them......that to me is more than enough 
                     | punishment......
               marie | well i guess it depends on the premise of the 
                     | relationship..
           Eldersign | You cannot discipline when your submissive is 
                     | already
           Eldersign | diddraught and not listening...she must be alert.
*Night Spirit [HOST] | Good advice eldersign..I like that
               marie | the first rule is there aren't any mistakes..
               marie | i can't screw up so to speak
               marie | so that in and of itself i have to remember..
          MadAtTimes | good marie - if a golden tenet is that you will 
                     | never let the other down,
          MadAtTimes | then if either is disappointed then BOTH have the 
                     | right to say so
*Night Spirit [HOST] | ok so we have the matter back in hand, the sub 
                     | knows there is punishment, and
*Night Spirit [HOST] | has begun the relationship and training--what is 
                     | next?
 GrandPaDeSade[Host] | I'd say the first rule (for the dom) is to watch 
                     | the sub carefully, and provide
 GrandPaDeSade[Host] | the love and support when it is needed.
           Eldersign | Then...you can start to teach.
                   o | i believe...that...a slave...can screw 
                     | up...but...that that doesn't...change the love...
*Night Spirit [HOST] | <--glad to hear we are all human
            *~tina~* | whew
      Lord Excalibur | true o
           *Spartan* | well NS, regarding training and punnishment.....I 
                     | on one occasion, punished
           *Spartan* | tina <physically>...and, tho it got the point 
                     | across, was not in the least
           *Spartan* | thing right to do<after thought>.........i believe 
                     | that to be able to
           *Spartan* | distinguish betweenpain <expected or wanted> and 
                     | pain for punnishment, the pain
           *Spartan* | can get confused, tho the vocal tones and manner 
                     | will be different, I have
           *Spartan* | opted for other ways to punnish since, <not that it 
                     | has been necessary at
           *Spartan* | all>........
*Night Spirit [HOST] | ok Eldersign--what do we teach?
                 joe | could I be a slave?
          MadAtTimes | this is good stuff - having moved from a punsihment 
                     | based phase into a
          MadAtTimes | contol phase
           GeorgeOTJ | Right o, just like a child in some ways, I
           GeorgeOTJ | disappointed in the action, not the person
 GrandPaDeSade[Host] | o, it's an error, not a screw-up, most times.
 GrandPaDeSade[Host] | screw-ups I see as more serious.
                   o | yes....George...exactly.... different terms 
                     | GPDS...how do you distinguish them?
           Eldersign | First...*I* teach a submissive that she's a 
                     | submissive ONLY
           Eldersign | in the sense that she looks to me...that submission 
                     | is not
           Eldersign | given to everyone.
           *Spartan* | there are much better ways to get the point 
                     | across.......and I have learned to
           *Spartan* | see these.......
*Night Spirit [HOST] | Spartan so you say it is alright to change 
                     | techniques, and do what is needed to
*Night Spirit [HOST] | help the training go on and the relationship to grow
               marie | that's what i meant george - disapointed in the 
                     | action, not in teh submissive
               marie | herself
           Eldersign | When she can be a composed, beautiful woman, and 
                     | only
           Eldersign | look to me, we have a beginning.
         effy <busy> | as the relationship changes, don't the techniques 
                     | also change?
              Dakini | that sounds horrible elder
*Night Spirit [HOST] | does it effy?  If so how?
         effy <busy> | doesn't the form Domination takes, changes?
   *Michael's nikki* | <smile>  You need baeuty and compose in your subs, 
                     | Elder???
         Erek & kisa | Pardon our lateness - Greetings to all
 GrandPaDeSade[Host] | I see most things a sub does that I may not like as 
                     | errors in judgement.
 GrandPaDeSade[Host] | Screw-up are much more serious. then there are NS's 
                     | attempts to get me to
 GrandPaDeSade[Host] | punish her by intentionally doing things.
           *Spartan* | i think we r all in a constant growing phase with 
                     | each other, and even if
           *Spartan* | familiarity assists, change is constant and needs 
                     | to be done
           *Spartan* | constructively.....for the relationship
*Night Spirit [HOST] | hugs Erek and kisa--topic is training
*Night Spirit [HOST] | who me? GrPa?
              Dakini | <hands elder a stamford wives video > :)
          MadAtTimes | I hear that GPDS
           Eldersign | Yes. A submissive must be the melody...and the dom 
                     | only
           Eldersign | the harmony...i don't dso this to make ME look 
                     | good, except
           Eldersign | in the sense that what my submissive does reflects 
                     | on
           Eldersign | me...she is the star, and always will be.
   *Michael's nikki* | LOL  Dak
          MadAtTimes | I have had to point out whatis permissable to get 
                     | me in the mood wanted
      Lord Excalibur | I would say that was true Spartan, as the 
                     | relationship progresses certain
      Lord Excalibur | things come naturally
*Night Spirit [HOST] | so the sub should get the dom in the mood to train?
 GrandPaDeSade[Host] | Stepford Wives dak
         Erek & kisa | NS- Yes, I saw.  Interesting to note that over in 
                     | PCEN Alternatives (closed BDSM section) we are 
                     | discussing that right now ---
              Dakini | im thinking where is the humour in all this ? 
                     | without it the whole thing sounds
              Dakini | very depressing indeed
      Lord Excalibur | yes when talking to others Elder she must reflect 
                     | the ability of her MAster
                   o | no Dak...it's not depressing...it's the most 
                     | wonderful...adventure
       MoL's Katie J | Dakini, I do everything with humour.
              Dakini | good to hear it katie
           *Spartan* | the gravest of errors for all is a lack of 
                     | communication, tho position should
       MoL's Katie J | my Master appreciates that in me.
           *Spartan* | not ever be lost or 
                     | forgotten..<Top/bottom>........the availability of 
                     | open
           *Spartan* | dialogue must be there always, else all will 
                     | fail......
*Night Spirit [HOST] | ah...good point--humour is good for both--after all 
                     | it is play time, play room
*Night Spirit [HOST] | and toys
          MadAtTimes | I see no reason why the sub cannot influence the 
                     | "level" of training
         Erek & kisa | altho it started as a complaint against there not 
                     | being enough good TOPS/DOMS, so my question is - 
                     | whose training? Dom or sub?
   *Michael's nikki* | I think ....when the fun stops....the boredom sets 
                     | in.....*my* opinion...
*Night Spirit [HOST] | good point Spartan
 GrandPaDeSade[Host] | Without humor, no relationship is any good Dak, 
                     | vanilla or D/s
*Night Spirit [HOST] | MAT--ok how?
              Dakini | well that was my point gpds
           *Spartan* | depends 
                     | Eris...............................................
 GrandPaDeSade[Host] | The same for communication
           *Spartan* | Erik...<sorry>
           *Spartan* | Erek.........<grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr>
          MadAtTimes | at a basic level - the sub may wish more/less 
                     | severity if there is an
          MadAtTimes | upcoming scene planned
           GeorgeOTJ | <room Jester
          MadAtTimes | he/she can influence the Dom/mmes mood preceding 
                     | that
*Night Spirit [HOST] | Erek interesting thought--who is actually running 
                     | the training--the dom<me> the
*Night Spirit [HOST] | sub or both?
 GrandPaDeSade[Host] | There are many opportunitys for humor in D/s
         Erek & kisa | Who trains the DOM?
              Dakini | the sub
*Night Spirit [HOST] | how?
                Mary | the sub
           Eldersign | :grins: The dom had better be able to stay a couple 
                     | grades
           Eldersign | ahead.
              Dakini | the entire situation itself is the training
          MadAtTimes | someone once said the Domis in charge, the sub is 
                     | in control
       Lady Rapunzel | Not that old chestnut again? <laughs>
*Night Spirit [HOST] | how does the sub train the Dom?
         Erek & kisa | What training does the TOP have that makes them 
                     | capable of training a bottom?
*Night Spirit [HOST] | MAT I like that
      Lord Excalibur | stronger will
              Dakini | subtely one would hope NS :)
       Lady Rapunzel | Aren't we a partnership?
               marie | Erek i think in general a lot of Dom's hava 
                     | network, or read or find a mentor..
               marie | the subs they have may train them to read the 
                     | situations better, and experience
               marie | does that in general but there has to be some point 
                     | of reference even if it 's
               marie | an inate ability to teach and take on that role of 
                     | responsiblity
                   o | for me...it is very very important to me...that 
                     | Master is...much wiser than me...much further ahead 
                     | than me....i never never
                   o | control Him...not ever
       Lady Rapunzel | Doesn't it change every moment?
*Night Spirit [HOST] | Lady R in training are we partners and if so...how?
   *Michael's nikki* | Don't you think....with each relationship......each 
                     | being different.....the Dom
   *Michael's nikki* | trains the sub.....AND the sub kinda trains the Dom 
                     | too.....to realise new
   *Michael's nikki* | experiences....emotions, etc
       Lady Rapunzel | You can only learn what you are open to learning.
         Erek & kisa | marie - nicely put
 GrandPaDeSade[Host] | For instance, NS and I play nipple clamp trivia. I 
                     | tighten the clamps if she is
 GrandPaDeSade[Host] | wrong, they stay the same if she is right. Then I 
                     | ask questions like "What was
 GrandPaDeSade[Host] | the name of my first dog?" She can't win. But 
                     | trying can be lots of fun, and we
 GrandPaDeSade[Host] | both get what we need from the scene.
         effy <busy> | personally -- i think part of the training is that 
                     | the Dom get to know the
         effy <busy> | sub --- and to that point the sub is in charge, in 
                     | a sense, but then there is
         effy <busy> | the letting go and -- i think that is no longer 
                     | true.
          MadAtTimes | I suspect many new Doms have scened with 
                     | experienced subs to gain
          MadAtTimes | knowledge tho they may not admit it
           *Spartan* | depends on the situation NS, as Erek asked...in a 
                     | union type of relationship,
           *Spartan* | as tina and I have, i feel at times<most times> we 
                     | have both contributed to how
           *Spartan* | the relationship will go, as with the 
                     | communication, feedback on both parts is
           *Spartan* | necessary, tho I feel that I prolly guide it<hard 
                     | ass Top>.........with the
           *Spartan* | input from both, in other situations it can go one 
                     | way or the
           *Spartan* | other.............................
              Dakini | personaly i can say that i have always learnt a lot 
                     | from     subs i have been
              Dakini | with
   *Michael's nikki* | ROFL GDS
       Lady Rapunzel | You guys make me roar.
                   o | effy...the...Dom...to me...should still be in 
                     | charge...of finding out about the sub
         effy <busy> | i agree o
*Night Spirit [HOST] | ok so as the training goes along both parties grow 
                     | together
               marie | I think the basis for any worthwhile relationship 
                     | is a lot of communication and
               marie | input..
         effy <busy> | i could not respect the Dom if there was not the 
                     | level of control there
         effy <busy> | (ergo: i am Domless)
      Lord Excalibur | of course marie
              Dakini | but busy effy <s>
                Mary | lol
       Lady Rapunzel | "Training"
*Night Spirit [HOST] | ok now we are in training---and so far so 
                     | good---now what?
         effy <busy> | only busy to the snerts :)
       Lady Rapunzel | You make it sound like the damn armed forces.
           *Spartan* | o....she needs to release the power she holds over 
                     | the relationship to the Dom
           *Spartan* | for him to have control, else there is no 
                     | consentuality, and it becomes a rape
           *Spartan* | of sorts.........................
           *Spartan* | SWAT Rapp........
           *Spartan* | where ya been
           *Spartan* | <g>
         Erek & kisa | I think also there is often confusion when just the 
                     | word 'training' is used, for are we discussing 
                     | physical techniques and habitu-
 GrandPaDeSade[Host] | NS is a SAM (Smart-Assed_Masochist), and a switch. 
                     | Hard to control. Some like
       Lady Rapunzel | Lookin' for you an' tina ;)
 GrandPaDeSade[Host] | that, (I do), some don't
              Dakini | lol rap thats what i was saying earlier about where 
                     | is the humour ?
         Erek & kisa | ation - or a mental preparedness - on either or 
                     | both sides.
           *Spartan* | <S>, bout time u got ur ass in 
                     | here...................roar......................
       Lady Rapunzel | <chuckle>
                   o | a rape...only if she continues in the 
                     | relationship...and why would she...in such a 
                     | situation...Spartan?
       Lady Rapunzel | I'm hung-over.. gimme a break
       MoL's Katie J | Erek, the discussion has been more to the mental 
                     | than the physical.
         effy <busy> | if it is what she desires... why not
              Dakini | if she is a slave she has to doesnt she o ?
       MoL's Katie J | to this point, at least.
*Night Spirit [HOST] | so now what----what is important in training--after 
                     | the basics?
                   o | no she doesn't Dak
*Night Spirit [HOST] | where do we go from there
          MadAtTimes | expanding horixons
       Lady Rapunzel | We have agreed on basics?
           GeorgeOTJ | I believe that many times the sub is more
           GeorgeOTJ | knowledgable in D/s but the Dom posseses the
           GeorgeOTJ | leadership qualities that the sub is looking for. 
                     | This
                Mary | the trenches, NS?  <G>
 GrandPaDeSade[Host] | Does she have safewords Dak? Besides, she can 
                     | always leave.
           GeorgeOTJ | has been the case with me and my first, she was
           GeorgeOTJ | into it up to her ears, I learned from her and 
                     | provided
           GeorgeOTJ | the leadership and direction.
                   o | although...some disagree on that...
       Lady Rapunzel | Oooh
*Night Spirit [HOST] | how long is training before the sub is no longer in 
                     | training?
          MadAtTimes | or horizons take your pick
       Lady Rapunzel | I always miss the good bits
           Eldersign | :points out that even slaves can leave...something 
                     | he only
           Eldersign | recently considered:
         Erek & kisa | Katie - OK --- What makes a DOM capable of training 
                     | a sub
       Lady Rapunzel | Isn't this *last* week's CO?
              Dakini | not in the true sense of the word slave, otherwise 
                     | she or he is a sub
                   o | some slaves...choose to give up that right Elder...
       Lady Rapunzel | We have a book of Rules now?
       Lady Rapunzel | That the Dom has to learn?
           *Spartan* | u misunderstand  o  , i was refering to the 
                     | response u gave effy, and it is not
           *Spartan* | up to the Dom to just find out, the thought was the 
                     | release or giving of
           *Spartan* | herself in essence her power or the power she hold 
                     | over the relationship, then
           *Spartan* | gives control to the 
                     | Dom.......................................
*Night Spirit [HOST] | basics, communications, start a relationship, set 
                     | rules, play vs. punishment,

                     | leave Him...but note...who is granting that...
       Lady Rapunzel | Oh please
       Lady Rapunzel | What mental techniques.
*Night Spirit [HOST] | hiya B & s
       Lady Rapunzel | Yikes.
                   o | NS...i believe...training...is forever...
       Beorn & suchy | Shakes Night Spirit
       MoL's Katie J | I can only answer that for me, Erek .... 
                     | Personality .. a desire to learn about
*Night Spirit [HOST] | ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh good point o
       MoL's Katie J | his sub and to explore what they can be together.
*Night Spirit [HOST] | shakes?
           *Spartan* | then the Dom may proceed, but if he does not 
                     | receive that from the sub, *then*
           *Spartan* | it is like a rape.....o
              Dakini | thats YOU o i was talking about the generaly held 
                     | idea of what a slave is
         Erek & kisa | LAdy Rap - you have a problem with the question - 
                     | or just fell you need no answers?
       Beorn & suchy | well <S> n o kisses without asking your Master <S>  
                     | ( suchys fault, anyway )
           *Spartan* | thats bullshit o, if u gotta leave, u leave,
           Eldersign | :talk issues, people...not personalities:
       Lady Rapunzel | <chuckle> Erek, *how* do I always manage to piss 
                     | you off in these CO's?
       MoL's Katie J | Lady Rap is our protagonist <G>
       Beorn & suchy | what is the topic ?
           *Spartan* | u dont wait for his permission to be granted to 
                     | leave......
                   o | Spartan...have you ever read Violence in the Garden?
       MoL's Katie J | or antagonist .. take yer pick.
       Lady Rapunzel | You're talking about training as if it is something 
                     | that can be defined.
*Night Spirit [HOST] | Owner always thinks this girl should have fun as 
                     | long as I don't break the
*Night Spirit [HOST] | cardinal rules
         effy <busy> | what exactly is the differnce between sub and slave?
         effy <busy> | i have my own ideas, but they are not matching up 
                     | to what y'all are
         effy <busy> | referring to
          MadAtTimes | is it fair to say training becomes joint 
                     | exploration in along term
          MadAtTimes | relationship?
       MoL's Katie J | Training, Beorn and suchy
         Erek & kisa | LR - not po'ed, but curious about the percieved 
                     | attitude
          MadAtTimes | the Dom still leads
           *Spartan* | no, i am sorry, we have it and tina is familiar 
                     | with it
           *Spartan* | tho...........................
                   o | no...Spartan..i would not have to...because my 
                     | Master's slaves are always free to leave Him...
          MadAtTimes | but you both know the path youwish to follow?
       Lady Rapunzel | Surely training is the same for us as for vanilla 
                     | people, who have to learn about each other to 
                     | continue to grow within a
       Lady Rapunzel | relationship?
*Night Spirit [HOST] | good thought MAT
       Beorn & suchy | ( exactly what suchy needs these days .. RE 
                     | trarining )
       Lady Rapunzel | Isn't that all it is?
                   o | the writer of that...claims that she does not have 
                     | the right to leave her Master
           *Spartan* | effy, a slave is just
           *Spartan* | subserviant.........................................
                     | ...................
         Erek & kisa | Maybe I need to emoticon more <;)
       Lady Rapunzel | <smile> Erek
         effy <busy> | then slaves do not have the right to leave
           *Spartan* | then he is an ass too....<sorry imho>
                   o | no i disagree Spartan...a slave...is a total 
                     | submissive...not subservient
       Lady Rapunzel | Everyone has the right to everything.
 GrandPaDeSade[Host] | Good Lady R
       Lady Rapunzel | o, slaves, have the right to leave.
           *Spartan* | in what way   o  ?
       Lady Rapunzel | Everyone does.
         effy <busy> | <allconfused and hushing>
                   o | i have the right effy because my Master grants it 
                     | to me...but i could and will never
*Night Spirit [HOST] | I do---if Owner is a jerk why the hell would I 
                     | waste my life with him--after
*Night Spirit [HOST] | all had that my last marriage
                   o | my Master's slaves do LR
       Lady Rapunzel | You would have the right, o, even if he didn't 
                     | grant it.
           *Spartan* | a slave does *not* have to subvmit to serve or to 
                     | be a
           *Spartan* | slave....................................!!!!!!!!!!!
                     | !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
       Lady Rapunzel | Spartan, easy now... you know who we are talking 
                     | with about this.
                   o | so how do you define slave Spartan?
*Night Spirit [HOST] | yes Spartan what is a slave to you?
 GrandPaDeSade[Host] | Suppose he started to beat you every day, not 
                     | scene, punishment, just because
 GrandPaDeSade[Host] | he felt like it o?
              Dakini | yes actual real life legaly supported slavery was 
                     | abolished some time ago
       Lady Rapunzel | She'd take it.
         Erek & kisa | It's a courtesy to *ask for release, but if the 
                     | situation has gone to hell, don't bother - leave 
                     | and don't look back.
           *Spartan* | subservient......simple....period....one who 
                     | serves, has the need to
       Lady Rapunzel | You know the answer, GrPa.
                   o | LR...i am not permitted to answer those questions
       Lady Rapunzel | Here we go again.
           GeorgeOTJ | Many slaves figure they give up that right when they
           GeorgeOTJ | enter into slavery from what I understand.
         effy <busy> | but Spartan -- isn't that also a submissive?
           *Spartan* | thats it    o  ..................very simple
       Beorn & suchy | i am lost ..
       Lady Rapunzel | They *choose*, as do we all.
                   o | i disagree with your definition
       Beorn & suchy | somone inform me ..
       Lady Rapunzel | It is still a choice.
         Erek & kisa | This ain't Bor <not a typo>
                   o | sorry GPDS...i am not permitted to answer your 
                     | question
       Lady Rapunzel | Come on, guys, we *know* all this.
              Dakini | yes geroge but such slavery is no longer leagaly 
                     | sanctioned in our society
*Night Spirit [HOST] | George this is true--but once again it all comes 
                     | down to communications before
*Night Spirit [HOST] | during and after training
       Lady Rapunzel | We know that everyone has their own definitions
           *Spartan* | no effy, a sub can be a slave, and a slave can 
                     | submit, but in pure deffinition
           *Spartan* | there is a difference..........
 GrandPaDeSade[Host] | NS is my property because, AND ONLY BECAUSE, she 
                     | consents to be that!
       Lady Rapunzel | We know that everyone has their own right to choose.
          MadAtTimes | well said GPDS
*Night Spirit [HOST] | Lady R are you sure on that
         effy <busy> | <<taking back question>>
         effy <busy> | back to training, please?
       Lady Rapunzel | Even o would agree with that.
              Dakini | exactly gpds
         Erek & kisa | LR - Some do give up that right <shrug> Different 
                     | strokes, etc.
*Night Spirit [HOST] | there are Master/Mistresses once you are in--you 
                     | are in forever until they
*Night Spirit [HOST] | release you
                   o | yes LR...all i object to is people imposing their 
                     | definitions on me <s>
       Lady Rapunzel | Exactly. So can we get back to training?
*Night Spirit [HOST] | question if you do it and join it--is it still free 
                     | will

 GrandPaDeSade[Host] | Night LA
*Night Spirit [HOST] | part of training is finding out what you are 
                     | getting in to--I think basic
*Night Spirit [HOST] | training is like a dating period
           *Spartan* | no one is imposing deffinitions on u  o, if u r a 
                     | slave and u find urself in a

       MoL's Katie J | what the relationship is, is what o and her Master 
                     | define it to be ..no more or
       MoL's Katie J | less than any Master/sub relationship.
       Lady Rapunzel | <chuckle>
           *Spartan* | yes katie
       Lady Rapunzel | Okay, I have a question for the crowd.....
         Erek & kisa | Katie - A BINGO <g>
*Night Spirit [HOST] | true Katie--like ours is what we defined
*Night Spirit [HOST] | yes Lady R?
       Lady Rapunzel | Give me one word at a time... things that training 
                     | involves. One word each. Go.
                   o | Master/slave...KJ...but yes...of course...it's just 
                     | i do not consider myself subservient...that to 
                     | me..is about running around
                   o | after every guy who walks in calling them...sir...

 GrandPaDeSade[Host] | safewords love pain obedience
       Lady Rapunzel | Now look at all those words.
Lady Aireanna (busy) | peace
           *Spartan* | wrong  o  , it means u just serve, plain , simple, 
                     | no feelings
           *Spartan* | etc........................
            *~tina~* | choice
       MoL's Katie J | no, o .. between your Master and you .. certainly 
                     | Spartan did not mean
       MoL's Katie J | subservient to include any male wandering into your 
                     | immediate area.
       Lady Rapunzel | Tell me a relationship in this world where those 
                     | things are *not* considered in some way, during the 
                     | beginning of a relationship.
         Erek & kisa | acclimation
                   o | Spartan...please do not do what you said you are 
                     | not doing...that is your definition...not mine
 GrandPaDeSade[Host] | Pain???
Lady Aireanna (busy) | ONE WORD........
       Lady Rapunzel | Pain, GrPa?
Lady Aireanna (busy) | are you kidding
         Erek & kisa | LR - I've said for years that you should be friends 
                     | first, play partners later
       Lady Rapunzel | You think there is no pain in other relationships?
*Night Spirit [HOST] | my relationships in the last 20 yrs have not been 
                     | vanilla--I forgot what that is
 GrandPaDeSade[Host] | In non-d/s relationships?
           *Spartan* | no   o  , that is the
           *Spartan* | deffinition................simple...................
                     | .maybe not haow it fits ur
           *Spartan* | relationship , but that *is* it............
         effy <busy> | i think in other relationshps there is more pain 
                     | because there is not the honesty there
                   o | KJ...to me the words submissive and 
                     | subservient...are totally totally different
          MadAtTimes | what is missing is the possibilty of physical harm 
                     | as an agreed component
       Lady Rapunzel | Pain, for us, if we look at it purely and simply, 
                     | is a sex-toy, GrPa. That is not what I thought we 
                     | were discussing here.
          MadAtTimes | of the relationship
                   o | says who Spartan?
         effy <busy> | there is more confusion and --- feeling in the dark
         Erek & kisa | o - as kisa says - she is a sexual submissive, not 
                     | a submisive personality
       MoL's Katie J | yes it is how we each define the words, and choose 
                     | to use the words to define
       MoL's Katie J | ourselves .. that's part of the point of these 
                     | conferences.
           *Spartan* | look em up in the dictionary
       Lady Rapunzel | But the physical risks we take are sexually 
                     | oriented.
 GrandPaDeSade[Host] | You asked for one word that dis not apply to all 
                     | relationships.
           *Spartan* | serve then submissive
Lady Aireanna (busy) | not even
           *Spartan* | easy deffinitons to understand
Lady Aireanna (busy) | LR!!!!!!!!
       MoL's Katie J | as we learn what others think, we can better define 
                     | what we think ourselves.
       Lady Rapunzel | Forget sex... is there nothing else in our training 
                     | than sex?
 GrandPaDeSade[Host] | I do not necessarily agree it is only a sex-toy
*Night Spirit [HOST] | Lady R not true at all our relationship is based on 
                     | sadomasochism---it brought
*Night Spirit [HOST] | us together--it is very important in our lives
Lady Aireanna (busy) | ]geeeeezzzzzz.
         effy <busy> | i think a good word for training -- my word is 
                     | reliance.
       Lady Rapunzel | <laughing> Okay, so what do we use pain for?
            *~tina~* | good one effy
 GrandPaDeSade[Host] | Control
*Night Spirit [HOST] | Pain is how I get through my day--he don't deliver 
                     | I give it to myself
       Lady Rapunzel | Come on, don't just say "geez". I challenge you 
                     | guys so that you can make your point, not shake 
                     | your head at me like I am an
       Lady Rapunzel | imbecile.
       Beorn & suchy | Painn is used for Freedom <S> in my wsubmissive 
                     | little opinion /
                   o | Spartan...as was said earlier...that is 
                     | still...only one person's definition...i am a 
                     | slave...different to all others who would
                   o | claim that...as...everyone is different...i make no 
                     | claims about or for others...only myself
              Dakini | pain is excitement
 GrandPaDeSade[Host] | Pleasure
   *Michael's nikki* | I think, Spartan, you have to define the difference 
                     | between a cyber slave and a
   *Michael's nikki* | 3d one, don't you???
 GrandPaDeSade[Host] | Satisfaction, non-sexual included
              Dakini | good point nikki
       Lady Rapunzel | But we use pain for the physical pleasures, don't 
                     | we?
          MadAtTimes | a good workout???? <LAFFING>
       Lady Rapunzel | It's all physical, isn't it?
 GrandPaDeSade[Host] | Sometimes
       Lady Rapunzel | What else, GrPa?
         Redhead (f) | Mind igf I barge in?
      Lord Excalibur | no LR its not
       Lady Rapunzel | Come on... you all do this...
       Beorn & suchy | < pinching myself to see if i am here >
 GrandPaDeSade[Host] | When we punish, it is for control
           GeorgeOTJ | Isn't a lot of what we do "Mind Sex"? I mean it may
           GeorgeOTJ | not be a physical act but we derive great pleasure
           GeorgeOTJ | from it, sometimes to a euphoric state, so what else
           GeorgeOTJ | do  you call it besides mind sex?
         effy <busy> | i thought it was primarily mental -- with the 
                     | physicality being thrown in as a bonus :))
   *Michael's nikki* | HUGS suchy...
         Erek & kisa | LR - Yes - sensation, pain even, is used that way, 
                     | but not all training means pain
               marie | some people process the pain to pleasure yes, some 
                     | for the sensation play only
               marie | no emmotional attachment (bottoming) some just like 
                     | the pain for the sake of
               marie | pina
       Lady Rapunzel | And you use pain for punishment *and* pleasure?
              Dakini | its not physical for me rap, the feelings it iduces 
                     | are the most important part
              Dakini | of it
*Night Spirit [HOST] | so let's all give one last statement on 
                     | training--we know communication, love,
*Night Spirit [HOST] | trust, discussing the do and don't, building 
                     | confidence, and begin a growth
*Night Spirit [HOST] | together--anything else?
           *Spartan* | no, katie/o i do not, simple terms, and  o  i 
                     | believe u r confusing this with
           *Spartan* | emotions, dont hon, a slave is to serve, thats it, 
                     | a submissive is in a
           *Spartan* | position of a giving of herself, if u find urself 
                     | in a position of giving  o
           *Spartan* | then i think u need to rethink what u consider 
                     | urself...................
                Anja | is it really physical..or more menta?
       Beorn & suchy | We use pain for punishment and pleasure .. yes .
                Anja | mental that is
       Lady Rapunzel | How confusing.
 GrandPaDeSade[Host] | Yes Lady R, depending on what it is for, and how 
                     | she sees my attitude.
       *mystic rain* | <totally confused>
       Lady Rapunzel | I feel pain... do I know which it is? Punishment or 
                     | pleasure?
       Lady Rapunzel | Is that a part of training?
*Night Spirit [HOST] | I do Lady R
         effy <busy> | <sitting with mysti in the confused bleachers>
Lady Aireanna (busy) | so do I LR
       *mystic rain* | s@ effy
      Lord Excalibur | we discussed this earlier Lr
         Erek & kisa | LR - possibly you take it as one  or the other from 
                     | the context?
*Night Spirit [HOST] | ok any other last words of wisedom?
          MadAtTimes | one should never confuse punsishment pain and pain 
                     | adminsitered purely
          MadAtTimes | for pleasure
       Lady Rapunzel | Context. Okay... so training is *only* about the 
                     | meaning of pain?
          MadAtTimes | nooooo
*Night Spirit [HOST] | I agree MAT
         Erek & kisa | NO
           *Spartan* | no
           *Spartan* | no
           *Spartan* | no
 GrandPaDeSade[Host] | I make darned sure she does know when it's 
                     | punishment
           *Spartan* | no
   *Michael's nikki* | NO......
              Dakini | no
         effy <busy> | but isnt the difference primarily mental, MAT?
      Lord Excalibur | the way in which pain is administered is how it is 
                     | taken by the sub/slave
            *~tina~* | <words of wisdom NS>.....thank you very 
                     | much......wonderful CO tonight <grins>
          MadAtTimes | you missed the whole section on control without pain
                   o | as i said Spartan...what i am and what i call 
                     | myself...is....bewteen Master and me...i know what 
                     | i am...Who's i am...and that is
                   o | all that matters to me...
       Lady Rapunzel | Well, that's the only thing I can see here that 
                     | differs from vanilla.
           *Spartan* | SWATTIN Rapp again
         Erek & kisa | I disagree that training even has to engender pain
*Night Spirit [HOST] | no Lady R--communications, trust, what is and isn't 
                     | allowed, pleasure pain,
*Night Spirit [HOST] | love and a beginning
       Lady Rapunzel | Okay... control... is *that* all training is?
          MadAtTimes | well effy - pain can be used to teach a 
                     | lesson/punish
Lady Aireanna (busy) | My submission to my Master................is my 
                     | peace...........
       Lady Rapunzel | Is training just making a decision about who is in 
                     | charge?
Lady Aireanna (busy) | thats all that matters to me.
          MadAtTimes | other times it can be administred/received just for 
                     | the sheer joy of it
         Erek & kisa | LR - or reenforcing that decision/agreement
       Lady Rapunzel | Who is in charge and how to have fun... that's it, 
                     | then?
Lady Aireanna (busy) | there are alot of words here...........
       Beorn & suchy | No Lady Rap .. let me sttep for a second .. when 
                     | Master Beorn punishes Moi ...
       Beorn & suchy | He lets me know under No uncertain terms EXACTLY 
                     | what i am getting punished for
       Beorn & suchy | .. and tells me  * you WIL NOT * enjoy this .. * he 
                     | uses his BIG DOM GOD voice
       Beorn & suchy | .. and i know i am in trouble .. and being punished 
                     | .. ( in fact  *IF * i get
       Beorn & suchy | to bold as to enjoy it in some .. erotic kinda way  
                     | ... i REALLY get in big
       Beorn & suchy | trouble ...
 GrandPaDeSade[Host] | I trust NS more in three years we have been 
                     | together, than I did my ex-wife in
 GrandPaDeSade[Host] | 30+ years of marriage (vanilla)
*Night Spirit [HOST] | no Lady R--training is like the dating phase of 
                     | vanilla gets you both to know
*Night Spirit [HOST] | where the relationship is heading
         effy <busy> | so the difference, regarless of your frame of mind, 
                     | has to be that your sub understands that it
         effy <busy> | is punishment, no, Mad?
           GeorgeOTJ | I like that definition NS
          MadAtTimes | traing gets both to a stage where each is what the 
                     | other wants
       Lady Rapunzel | So we are like vanilla people then.. why do we 
                     | label it?
          MadAtTimes | indeed effy
       Lady Rapunzel | Why call it "TRAINING" <add reverb>
           *Spartan* | well then   o  , enjoy, this simple understanding 
                     | seems to be beyond what and
           *Spartan* | where it originally started from......i am happy 
                     | that u r happy , and that u
           *Spartan* | and ur Master can be in a place u both know and 
                     | enjoy......<s>
               marie | LR it's the nature of our society to label.. i 
                     | don't agree with it.. but it
               marie | exist
*Night Spirit [HOST] | because in my case I am on all 4s on a 
                     | leash...can't go to the movies to well
*Night Spirit [HOST] | like that
              Dakini | because its ofetn formalised or ritualised lady rap
       Lady Rapunzel | Why do we ritualise?
           Eldersign | Rap...we do it so we don't address the fact that 
                     | vanillas,
           Eldersign | doing what we do, are actually liable for legal 
                     | redress. :grin:
       Lady Rapunzel | Ahhh
       Lady Rapunzel | I see
         Erek & kisa | LR- good question - but what do you think makes us 
                     | different from "vaniallas"?
       Lady Rapunzel | It's a WE WANT TO BE ACCEPTED, DAMMIT thing?
Lady Aireanna (busy) | life is so precious................in vanilla or 
                     | D/s.....................should
Lady Aireanna (busy) | we not learn to love it either way and adore the 
                     | life it offers.
              Dakini | cos its fun lady rap
       MoL's Katie J | > "Men are  like a fine wine... They all start out

*Night Spirit [HOST] | Anja theryou have it
      Lord Excalibur | excuse me I thought this CO was about training

                     | needs...providing that in doing so

           *Spartan* | yes  o... u r correct, all relationships are 
                     | different....but, well , i guess
           *Spartan* | that u seem to want to carry things a bit into the 
                     | relm of where u and ur
           *Spartan* | Master are, rather than  the acknowledgement of 
                     | just what u said........but the
           *Spartan* | basis is a common, one, and i am sorry if u dont

           *Spartan* | what the implications may be within ur

         Erek & kisa | You know there was one thing siad that was 
                     | misleading

   Electricblueyes>M | are into satisfaction as much as the
   Electricblueyes>M | sub--don't know 'bout doms
            *~tina~* | we all can shed light on this subject....even if we 
                     | dont agree

           Eldersign | <- Neanderthal...not intellectual
                Mary | I do agree with you there, tina!

       Beorn & suchy | place i can think straight .
               effy  | what's that, Erek
         Erek & kisa | That training was like dating - that it sorta 
                     | stopped when the relationship settled in - was the 
                     | implication
         Erek & kisa | But we all know that's not so
   Electricblueyes>M | Hi dak--<wink>
            *~tina~* | agreed
         Erek & kisa | Training goes on - and on and on

              Dakini | oh no does it ?
                Mary | learning takes a lifetime for both parties, effy!
           GeorgeOTJ | % and the beat goes on........on the beat goes on %
*Night Spirit [HOST] | Erek to some it does--to others they like to 
                     | graduate to full subs/slaves or
*Night Spirit [HOST] | whatever
 GrandPaDeSade[Host] | Now try that invite again please.
       Beorn & suchy | Erek ..  i think that fro Beorn and i that * DID * 
                     | happen .. not because we
       Beorn & suchy | wanted it to ... but ( vanilla )  took over 
                     | somewhere ..
                Anja | i need some stimulation...mental...
         Erek & kisa | If learning to be in a corset isn't "training", at 
                     | least of one kind or another, I'm a very confused 
                     | Dom <g>
       MoL's Katie J | but that would only be true for that Dom/me, yes?
           *Spartan* | yea, but there is allways continuing ed 
                     | NS..............................no
           *Spartan* | matter what the degree.......................
       Beorn & suchy | and yes Erek, it is very good training <S>
       MoL's Katie J | trained for one Dom/me would not be trained for 
                     | another, surely
                Mary | right on, Spartan!
         Erek & kisa | But then I usually am a bit confused <g>
            *~tina~* | <---is required to take 18 credits a year ,weg>
              Dakini | general training shines through though katie surely

       MoL's Katie J | well, if you're begging, GPDS

              Dakini | sows ear
                Anja | <scrolling thru to find the topic>
           *Spartan* | if we stagnate or learning, we r doomed........to a 
                     | life of familiarity and
         Erek & kisa | I'm sorry we missed the first half of the CO
           *Spartan* | monotony with the day to day...no growth means 
                     | growth apart from each other,
           *Spartan* | rather than together....

                Mary | one is untrainable!

            *~tina~* | mmmm Daddy.........<proud smile>
           GeorgeOTJ | Is that a government term Mary, like vertically
           GeorgeOTJ | challenged instead of short?
         Erek & kisa | Surely somewhere we mentioned that there are as 
                     | many different reasons for training as there are 
                     | different partners
              Dakini | yes some times you just have to call it a day
                Mary | not at all, George, it is a pc term!  <LOL>
           Eldersign | Mary...no one may be totally UNTRAINABLE...but 
                     | there are
           Eldersign | many who CHOOSE to be untrainable.
               effy  | just as there are some who are naturally pre 
                     | trained :)
              Dakini | yes
                Mary | yes, Elder, I agree, life is about choices and we 
                     | all
