So much is happening so fast… i really need to take a day off work and just write about all the experiences i had at C.O.P.E. and all the things that are going on here.
i need to go back to last Thursday night with Sir X, before i went to C.O.P.E. i told you about the spanking ~ that really, was more like what i think of as an impact scene, since i was bound with my hands over my head.
But after that, we spent some time getting to know each other in some other ways ~like He said, it was a sampler of things we could do. Some of them involved orgasms for me, which is always good. {smiling}
Then, when i was feeling all warm and cozy, He told me that He wanted to me to wear a collar of consideration. He explained what it meant to Him, and what He hoped it would mean to me.
He’d made the collar. It won’t quite pass in the vanilla world, but it’s close. It looks like this:
Later, He shared this passage He’d read:
“The Collar of Consideration:
This Collar is traditionally given at the beginning of a relationship. The Dominant, by offering this collar to the submissive, is expressing an interest in pursuing a relationship with that submissive beyond the range of a casual acquaintance or even the relationship between a Top and bottom. This collar is offered seriously and with intent. The submissive, in accepting this collar from the Dominant, is equally serious in her understanding that their relationship has moved into a different stage. The existence of the Collar of Consideration indicates to other Dominants and submissives that the Dominant and submissive are forming a potentially serious relationship. It’s existence acts to openly present to other Dominants that this submissive is ‘off-limits’ for the duration of the ‘consideration’ period and that honorable Dominants should not pursue this submissive in any manner.”
So i wore my collar of consideration at C.O.P.E. i don’t think it kept any Doms away ~ i don’t think there were any beating down my door anyhow.
And that’s ok.i don’t do well ~ at least not now ~ with random play. i kind of doubt if i ever will ~ not that i’m criticizing it. i just don’t know how it would work for me.
The collar, however, helped me remember that Sir X was here and interested. Actually, it was a little bit like having Him with me.
He also stayed in touch with texts and email, although not excessively, so that was good.
i think part of what made the experience fun was not looking and hoping to meet “my Dom.” Not wondering if “He” was there.
Instead, i could just enjoy myself. i know where my Dom is…
aisha, I just read this, and just sighed with happiness for you, This all sounds so promising and although it seems to be moving fast, it also seems “considered” too. I am so excited, for you and smiling at the laptop.
HSxx
Thank you so much, HS. It is moving fast, but He’s not an impulsive person, and neither am I, so I feel ok about it. Yes, he’s very thoughtful – as in full of thought, if you know what I mean.
And I’m just so delighted to see you back here!!
hugs,
aisha

@Histoy,
Yes, I do love that feeling! And i appreciate you sharing my happiness.

Dear Kitten,
Thank you so much! (For reading, for commenting, and for the kind words!}
aisha
Nice. It’s like … I don’t know, I was trying to think of an analogy to the collar of consideration. And couldn’t really. like that it’s a commitment to consider on his part. I like that he’s the kind of guy that likes commitment. Or that’s how he sounds to me.
@Sin,
I know – I like that too.
I gotta say – here’s what it felt like~ it felt like He claimed me.
How cool is that?
aisha
Your Collar is lovely, Aisha. You must be on cloud 9! 🙂 How wonderful! I’m so happy for you.
Take care,
Sky
Thank you, Sky ~ yes, I might be a little bit “up there.” {Grinning} Thanks for sharing the joy with me.
aisha
I love the Collar of Consideration poem. He sounds very thoughtful. 🙂
@Butterfly – Thank you! He is, you know, more than considerate, he thinks things through. I totally appreciate that.
aisha

@Faithful,
Thanks so much! Nice to celebrate with friends – wish I could see you doing cartwheels!
aisha
Lovely,
and really? You’re such a ‘hippie’ that the collar could pass on occasion as a macrame choker…
just sayin’….
And i’d like to add…your “happy” just exudes from this post. . . and that makes me happy, too….
Three weeks from Wednesday *grin*
nilla
Dear ‘Nilla,
Laughing… ok, i am that much of an old hippie! I probably could get away with it from time to time!
I am happy, and sure appreciate you sharing in that with me.
Can’t wait – that’s only 22 days!!!
Hug,
aisha
