In conversations with a dom I've had the pleasure of knowing, I did a lot of thinking on the difference between a "pet" and a "toy." This is what I wrote at the time. ****************************************************** "both pets and toys belong to Someone the pet belongs to her Master, the One on whom she depends for her security, her shelter, her sustenance. the Master, in His position,...

There's social pressure to some degree, for women "to rebel against men even when the man is right" maybe - MAYBE - depends on context. For about 30 years.
