Semantics

The idea of consensual slavery is founded on the concept of “consensual non-consent,�?another “Lifestyle�?terms in the merry go round of “Lifestyle�?semantics that at best is an oxymoron term

 

Total Power Exchange (TPE):  I’ll start by saying that the concept of “power exchange�?has limited use and meaning for Me.  It does not adequately define the depth and breadth of a committed relationship between two (or more) people that includes D/s.  Furthermore, it fails to capture the essence of the intrapersonal and interpersonal “exchange�?in such a relationship.  It’s limitations and misapplications have been further exacerbated by the extension of its meaning with the hybrid term of TPE so often used as the standard to distinguish “subs�?from “slaves.�?nbsp; (Sharing My thoughts on this is a whole different article.  For the sake of this response I will use these terms.)

   

TPE is neither instant nor consistent.  TPE is a goal to be worked toward �?it is fluid rather than static.  It is defined by the quality of “fit�?between My preferences and those of another person who has chosen to share herself, including her submissiveness, with Me.  A state of “total power exchange�?has been achieved in My relationship when I decide I have all the power I want, not by someone else’s standards.   The sense of “power�?can be can be momentary, it can be over a prolonged period of time, and I may even decide that I want less at times.
