	TSR : Web boards : M/s D/s O&P : "Collared and Registered" 1 2 Collared and Registered (15) This post is on the M/s D/s O&P web board. 30 Nov 10, 2:46 PM property_of_MacCain 4 yrs As has been covered, it means different things to different people. For me, collaring weighs more than marriage. i was married in the past, and all i had to do to get out of it was walk out the door and get a lawyer to file some papers. Since marriage is a legal arrangement, it was just a matter of legality. With MacCain it is a commitment between he and i, not church not state. i gave my word i wouldn't leave unless released, period. He will hold me to my word, and there isn't an attorney who can draw up papers to unsay my word. This is only my opinion of how things work for me, based on the way my mind works... i'm not belittling anybody's marriage. As for being registered, it doesn't add to the commitment, as the number stays with the s-type even if the s isn't collared, or changes hands. p 5 Dec 10, 4:13 AM Xians_jade US(CA), 18 mths Valyrian101 wrote: My pet and I are somewhere between M/s and O/p. she is Mine, heart, mind, body, and soul. W/we live together. W/we will eventually be married. But that is just a minor tag for the vanilla world. Legalities mainly. W/we will do things more for U/us in an old world tradition because that means more to U/us. But this is just how W/we view O/our relationship. Valyrian101 i agree with You, Sir. A wedding will only legalize O/our relationship to the vanilla extent. Plus, W/we'll get presents! E/everyone chip in for a gourmet kitchen with all the appliances and doo-dads! As for love, Master has my heart, mind, body and soul. He lets me keep enough of myself that i do not lose my spirit, so i can continually make the conscious choice to serve Him. 6 Dec 10, 3:10 PM teejayel UK, 5 yrs Pooh_Bear wrote: Collared and Registered So, I am curious....in your opinion....is being collared and registered in the lifestyle, equivalent to being married in the vanilla world? Inquiring minds want to know. I think that there is merit in making the two equivalent. I registered my property after proposing, making it clear that my intention was simple ownership of a woman, keeping her naked as I showed her the film of Story of O to give her an idea of what this meant and telling her that she would be displayed here. I stressed that marriage for our purposes would not enhance but rather reduce her status, to chattel in wedlock, female livestock owned by me, with no status, rights, dignity or privacy except at ny whim. A wife to outside view, an equal in law, but otherwise to be used as I saw fit. I enforced this from half way through the wedding reception onwards (Photographed in wedding dress, photographed stripped, photographed sucking me). A thread on Informed Consent talks about divorcing a wife to reduce her to property, which a few have done and a few unmarried slaves have commented that were they to marry they feel it would give them too much equal status. I think that my method works and is practical. Rather more difficult perhaps, for the few with more than one woman, or those who wish to have the ability to pass a woman to a new owner, but these I suspect are in the minority. The key aspect is removal of the woman's freedom whilst maintaining the man's. Whilst wedlock might be deemed a twin edged sword, for the practical real world, it serves well. Is vanilla marriage the equivalent to wedlock? Not quite. A married couple take their status jointly. Providing your wife to other men, for example, is called "stepping down in the dominance heirachy". But a man holding a woman as property in "wedlock" derives his status from the degree of her degradation: her value is in the freedom with which he can use her. The objectification & debasement of a woman to chattel allows her to be used freely. This enhances her owner's status, whose power lies in freedom to use his property, rather than diminishing it were she viewed as equal partner with joint status.

Inquiring minds want to know. i think in some cases its even greater than being married, i too am married to my Master, but the Love and Dedication i feel towards Him are magnified. i treat our Lifesytle relationship as strongly as i do our Vanilla life, and for this i think it makes our commitment to each other that much stronger. i hope this answers some questions to others who are thinking of getting into this type of Lifestyle, as you know where you stand with the person you have given yourself too, and having doubts as to your future are soon vanished.
