The Ghetto is my Dungeon, I shall not want!

The Ghetto is my Dungeon, I shall not want! magnify


It was a dark funky night in the corners of Hell

Some call it the inner city ghetto
Land of Thugs, Pimps, pushers and crackhead alcoholics providing the sounds of poverty, pain and pleasure to the beat of sirens blowing to the next emergency.

She was not your regular hoodrat!
She was a classy Nigga.
A bad bitch in a boardroom suit that paid her own way into the condo that reeked gentrification as it towered over the street trash below.
She was not insecure in her gangsta. She was just alone in it.
Hiding a little dark image of something she thirst for even more than front row tickets to sold out rap show.

She had almost everything she ever wanted. Now that she had got everything she needed to stand on her own two high heeled designer clad feet.
The image of the inner city strong black educated young woman from Generation X.
And the X didn't stand for Malcolm, it stood for all the "ex's" she survived in her past.
The scars of the wars fought in her personal growth on the hard streets of the same urban ghettos that so many other ran from during her birth.

Now she bask in the words of ignorance as a creed of her Hip Hop culture and her drum filled beats of her blackness.
She was a down for whatever type broad who was down for her niggas. And the word NIGGA was her membership card to a darker culture that she dressed so eloquently in the busy streets of the corprate world. As she drove to work listening to hard core lyrics with a deeper respect for the understandings of the insults that rode over some freash beats. Hiding behind the lenses of real designer shades she had swagger in her saddness.

Saddness I said.
Why.
Because she had a hardcore hunger for the need to submit her lust to a image of her own respect. A image so dark to others that it could grace a Hip Hop Grunge Album cover and sell twice as much just because of the art work.
A Alpha Master Pimpstyle Sadist with OG in front of the pride for is Niggas.
No ordinary mixture of darkness would do.
No broke dreamed thug with a fear of living in the outer world.
No abusive alcoholic gentelman who could afford her pleasures.
No cyber geek with a yearning for dominance on the streets and in the sheets.
This image was so rare that she suffered trying to paste His image on mid night booty calls and frustrating moments of masterbation.

She knew what she was yearning for could not be found as easy as it could be fooled into making wrong choices too soon, too fast to get out of.
And she knew that if she ever found Him, there would be no turning back.
She was stuck. Silently searching for months in every possible direction of like minds and bullshit. Knowing that finding one as such in public was just as difficult.
She read hundreds of words from thousands of post. Enjoyed being entertained by fellow surfers and freaks who just want to have fun. She met a few. Nothing expected, nothing gained. And then one become more interesting. And as she studied closer she noticed that He was even closer of a choice of just meeting someone who may know where she may start her journey in finding something she was still not sure exist.

She was still a newly single woman living alone. So safty was also a issue. Who could she ask? What should she say? Why should she think about reaching out to a stranger like this? The questions never let her rest. And she knew she was a runner. She was chicken shit at heart. And this could be the start of a very scary movie she may not be able to run from. That alone continued to plague her as she pondered her next move.
As she studied his profile she noticed things that were not comfortable for her. Like He was a swinger, at least that is what it read in His information. And He was also Poly and owned other women, sexually. And she knew that ws a "No no" because she don't trust no bitches when it comes to dick! And bitches keep up too much trouble. And aint no grown man gonna have that kinda control that they gonna let her in. Shit, how many bitches can a nigga fuck anyway? Naw, that shit was gonna be a damn speed bump that will turn into a road black for her. She knew herself.
But something made her send Him a message first. And then a few more. Each time it seemed that she had so much to say or so much she wanted to write, but her fingers and her mind was stuck! And it got worse as she got the nerve to call him. And she almost broke down after talking with him for putting herself in that kind of danger for not blocking her number. And she waited to see if he would call her back. And He didn't. So she got the energy up to send him another message. Asking why He had not called. And He replied, "you did not ask me to save your number, call me again..." And she did.

And that is how it started.
She didn't want to think too much about it. But somehow felt herself thinking more about all the things that could go wrong with what she had done. And yet, she became adjusted to his voice. She struggled not to call to listen to Him. She could hear in His voice that He had a attraction to her. He was more of her type than most of the safer people in her life so far. But all of this was still growing in her head and between her legs. Yes, she began to remember some of the images of the dark lust she longed for. She wanted to be taken, chocked, ravaged, and trained to be owned. And even though she knew that takes a lifetime, she had already spent a lifestime in her past life. This was not something to play with to her. And just thinking how fast things had started to make her feel made her fearful enough to run even if her feet would not move. She so wanted to run! She wanted to run away! She wanted to run hard and fast. She wanted to run into the last arms she would even need. And that was scary enough to run. Even for a tough bitch like herself.

As time grew they met and talked for a short while and before things got heated one evening she ran again. And this time she tried to take control of the feelings that seemed to make her want to through caution to the wind. But the more constructive things in her life like her job and her family and friends helped her hide from loosing control if she saw Him just one more time. She hated how she started to feel everytime she had a image of Him in her head, or when she would hear his voice or read his words. As long as she stayed away from Him and safely behind the profiles and the security of not being seen? She felt it possible to somehow try to shake these feelings she was starting to loose control over. At one point she desicided to tell Him to let her step back and try to forget hw far they had gone already in her mind. And he stated "as you wish". And with seing that reply she felt something she was not expecting. She started missing him. And so she replied back to one of his messages after a few days had gone by. She even felt a bit ashamed to write that she had become to miss Him. Even though she had only met Him a few times, and had only remembered his voice that now became distinct, and she had missed his smell that seemed to lay faint on her memory and her lust.

"I will never call you unless I find it important to go through the trouble of calling.
What I will do is allow you to call me when you feel you are ready. And if one day we do become more connected you will learn how to listen for Me when I call you with my mind, and you will learn how to reply or not. "
She agreed not understanding what He meant about not calling and at least smilled knowing that she had not lost him.
But she also know she was stuck! Stuck between change and chance. Stuck between old friends or new dudes. Stuck between her fears and His will. And she knew that whatever she was going to do? She had to trust again. And THAT was a big challange!

She found the guts enough to just reach out one night. Just for a casual call to hear His voice and hope that things were still "aight" between them.
He answered "are you ready?" And she froze in thought of what He was asking. She answered "you know me..." And he laughed. and then he stated "what are you doing tonight?" and she answered " nothing really Sir, I am alone now and laying in your favorite place." she replied "yes Sir, i am, and wearing Your favorite outfit too..." with a sly grin. He said "I have a idea. Meet me in the playground about a quarter to 12..." She asked where. He said "look out your window" and she did. As she looked out to the playgrounds and ball fields that covered a city block view of her back window. She replied, "You mean the one right out there? In a few hours Sir?" and He replied "yes, and this is what I want you to wear. Wear your good high heel boots and old long T shirt and a thong over a trench coat. Do you understand?" she said "yes Sir, where should I meet you out there around 12 Sir?" and He replied,"meet me in the middle of the field at quarter of 12 sharp. If you are late, you will be punished. Do you understand?" she said"yes Sir, I will be there on time Sir, but how will I know how to find you Sir?" and He replied, "bitch, I'm black, it's gonna be the black of night, and My ass will be wearing all black. Just be there." and hangs up the phone.

She does as asked and get's up and dressed as he ask. Thinking of everyway to try to get out of whatever she was about to get into. As she looked at the clock she noticed that it was only 8:30 and it had not got real dark yet. And wondering what was she getting herself into. Everything in her head kept screaming don't go! But something in her knew she was past the point of going back. And so she waited. She though about calling Him back and telling him to not come all the way up to her hood, not because she worried for His safety but because she worried about her own. And time almost stood still as she waited for Him to call her knowing that He would not call her unless he called on a pay phone.

As she looked at the clock that seemed to drag the time away. It soon became 11 o'clock. And she pulled out her trench coat while all the while looking out her window for any kind of figure that may look like him or anyone else. She was going to be going outside to meet this almost stranger in the middle of the night, in the middle of a School Field that covered a whole block around. There were no light on and you could still hear the sounds of the city in all of it's darkness of the ghetto streets.

She was not afraid of going out dressed as she was, but she was afraid of being out in the middle of that field unprotected so she took some protection with her in her pocket of her coat as she walked out of her building and out into the openness of this vast play field to the location she thought he sooke of in his instructions.

She could not see anyone around, but it was dark. Not dark enough to see anything because there were houses and schools that surounded the fields. But dark enough to almost not be seen. And she looked back at her window of her condo accross the field, still with the window open to the view of her standing where she last viewed out of.

It was exactly 11:45 and she looked at every image around in her view. She was turning around trying to catch a glimps of Him when and if He was out there. She wanted to scream out His name just so she would know he was there at any image that seemed to pass in that direction but she feared it not being Him so she stood silently spinning around looking for Him. She stood there for what now seemed like a hour. And at one point she was about to leave when her cell phone rang. and she stumbled to reach for it before it stopped out of her coat pocket and answered it, "Hello? Sir? is that you?" And the voice on the other end sounded like him but He spoke real low. He said, " don't turn around. Just listen." And she stood there in the middle of the field with the phone pressed to her ear, "Yes Sir..." She said quietly. And he replied. "open your coat slowly and turn around slowly." And she did as He asked. It was difficult doing with the phone in her ear but the coolness of the night air made her get goose bumbs as she exposed her scantly dressed body to the darkness in the middle of the field. And then He said" very good, now turn to your right until I tell you to stop." and she did until he said "ok, stop, now walk towards the jungle gym by the bushes and place your hands on the bars on the right side of the jungle gym." and she walked over to a darker side of the field still looking for Him but only seeing a small towel on the right side of the jungle gym in the dark. It was hard walking in heels on dirt and there was a small puddle in her way that she almost fell into as she was walking towards the jungle gym. He replied as she almost fell "ummm, that aint Lake Minny Ta Ha bitch...lol" and she laughed at the joke as you could hear the sound of her voice almst echo in the stale ghetto air. She asked "where are you Sir?" and He replied," I'm in your head bitch, now put your hands on the towel and reach up to the first bar above you and hold onto it. The towel will take the cill off the bar below. And don't move after you put down the phone and take possition."

She did as asked and leaned against the cold jungle gym and reached for the first bar at the top and held on. He coat was open and the cold air seem to whip around her as she held onto the bar waiting and listening for the sound of Him. It was almost quiet around here other than the other night people walking around doing some ghetto shit. A few dogs barking and someone on their back pourch smoking a cig in the far way distance of the other side of the big field. But quiet enough to notice anyone close. But dark enough that she could not see.
After a while her hands got cold from trying to hold the tall bar abover her as she stood on the bottom bar to reach the top on on the inside of the jungle gym. And as she was about to take her hands down she heard a whisper."don't take your hands down from there..." She was kinda shocked hearing him and she was about to speak when he said,"shut up bitch, you try'n to get a Nigga locked up doing some kinky shit..." And she giggled under her breath that now she could almost see hot air coming out of her mouth in the cool stale ghetto mist.
She could smell some stanky ass smoke burning and thought to herself, that smells like some good shit! but she didn't make a sound. She could almost see a figure covered in black, but she could see the smoke from His cig or joint, she wasn't sure. But she knew it was Him. He walked behind her and put a blind fold on her and then she felt him tie a cloth belt around her wrist that was holding the top bar. He had climed up from the back so she could almost feel his body lean over her to tie her wrist more sturdy to the bar she was holding. But now she really couldn't see. But she knew it was Him. And she knew that she would never be able to go back after this...

He secured her hands to the top bar. She could feel them holding her to that bar even if she let go, but noticed that if she did she would be hanging by her wrist. So she held onto the cold bar as He the spread her legs and secured them to the sides of the jungle gym. the heels of her boots now secured her from swinging away and she could lean back just enough to feel the towel on the bar behind her ass. He pulled her coat behind her exposing her ass peeking out the bottom of her T shirt she wore. He tied the coat in a pony tail and tossed it above her landing on her hands on the top bar. She could feel the cold air and His warm breath over her back as he grabbed a handfull of each cheak of her ass. And she moaned silently. And He released his grip, and walked to the front of her now hanging from the inside of this jungle gym, blindfolded and tied to a cold jungle gym in the middle of a open field in the ghetto.

She feels His hands carresss her entire body. His hands are warm. She smells that good smoke in the air and he blows her some and she tries to enhale it. Taking it to the head. Ahhhhhh.... After a few puffs she feels the effect. Listening to the sounds of the ghetto at midnight passing by as she is being inspected by Him. she can feel him reach up to feel her breast and He notices she is wearing a bra. he says, "what's this? Did I say wear a bra?" She replys back shyly, "Sir you know how I feel about my breast?" And then she feels a sharp object between her skin of her chest and the bra. Tugging at it as if to cut it. She speaks, "Sir you don't have to cut it, it comes off in the front..." Just then he does cut it but she can still feel the cold steel of the knife on her breast as he speaks, "Ummm look here shawtay, when I say wear just this? That all. And these are not your breast anymore. they are mine. You say it!" and she replies "These breast are youres Sir.." He replys "good, and your gonna buy a new one for loosing this one to me for being stupid. And you know my ass is just crazy enough to ask for what I want and nothing more without permission. Shit, your bad. So... Do want another pull of this good shit?, she replies "yes Sir" sheeplishly. And she waits for him to blow the smoke. But does not smell it or him. So she speaks, "Sir are you there?" And all she hears is silence. She can't take the blind fold off and she can't untie herself. But she feels that He has left her there. And she starts to "bug out a bit". Being alone out in the middle of a fied all exposed to anyone in the ghetto is not a good feeling to have she thinks. Still she tries to listen to see if she can notice if he is still closse. She can't smell him and she can't hear him. All she can hear is the street noise in the middle of the night, and feel the cold wind aganst her slightly exposed fleash.

Suddenly she hears gun shots and people screaming near by, and she jumps from the shock and then struggles with her ties and her boots have her stick and she can't lift her legs to free them without trying to distroy a damn good pair of boots, but something is going on. At this point she tries to whisper, "Sir... Sir..hello..." She wants to scream his name hoping nothing happened to Him in that shootout too. And wondering who is watching as she is tied helplessly in this feild. So in fear she listens.

She hears someone close but fears screaming and them finding her and not letting her loose and "lawd knows what else"... So she waits and wonders. And then all seems to grow quiet. And the silence becomes more fearful than being able to hear the normal street sounds. She hears the police ride by but she is too far to scream.

So she is stuck.
As she can feel her hands going numb from holding that cold bar and feeling her feet starting to buckle from standing on that bottom bar. And she begins to shiver a bit.
And then she smells that scent. His scent. And that good weed smell is with him. And she feels him touching her and then hugging her. And in a way she feels glad that He is ok and asks,"what was going on Sir, can you please take me down from here? Are you ok?" and he replies, "no, I'm not done yet.." And he takes off her blindfold and looks her in the eyes. She is glad to be able to see and the first thing she see's is him. And then she notices that He's sweaty like He had been running. And He said "kiss Me" and she did. As he untied her from the jungle gym. she embraced him for support as He untied her coat from behind her back and huged her as she was lowered down from the cold jungle gym. As she got back on her feet she almost fell from the numb feeling in her hands and her feet. And she embraces him and notices that He looks shook up a bit. And for someone like Him that is scary to he so she asked, "what happened, are You aright Daddy?" and He smiled and said, "That is the FIRST time you have ever called me Daddy!" and she smiled and said, "You are my Daddy now... I got you Daddy." and He said ," I got you too bitch, like I said I got you..." grinning. And as they were getting there selves together they huged and He asked..." So you do know that I am not done with you yet..." As He reached between her legs and found her dripping wet. She huged him closer and whispered in His ear, "This pussy has been wet for you from the first moment I heard your voice" And with that said she dropped to her knees in the middle of the field and sucked Him dry.

As she stood slightly muddy in the middle of the ghetto field with her new Daddy, they hugged and kissed. And ran back to the condo and got into some freaky ass ghetto shit, together for the first time.

A Sufi study Sunday...

In my studies I found a few words that I found helpful today


There are those who are like a lighted candle: they can light other
candles, but the other candles must be of wax - if they are of steel,
they cannot be lighted.

Bowl of Saki, by Hazrat Inayat Khan

Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan:

The voice of God is speaking all the time, but no one listens;
therefore God has manifested as man, that He might speak with a yet
louder voice. But even then man does not listen. In the time of
Christ the inspiration was there, the voice was there and the divine
power; but how few were those who listened and understood! ...
Whenever the spirit of God has come forth in its true form, the world
has been against it. Why has this been so? It is because man has two
sides to his nature, one false and the other real; and before the
true messenger can penetrate to the reality of a man's being, he
first touches the false or unreal part, and that revolts. And in the
case of a man who does not revolt, even though the light reaches him
his heart is covered, and it only touches the cover. Such a man is
attracted, yet he doubts.

There are egos who are not willing and ready to accept all that
attracts them. The more something attracts them, the more they rebel
against it, suspecting it of being a temptation. Even if they see the
reality of something that attracts them they consider the tendency of
being attracted to be a weakness. There are egos who refuse to accept
what their friend has accepted, and refuse to admire fully what that
friend has admired. And even if they really wish to accept something
that their friend has accepted, they will refuse to do so. For the
tendency of that ego is to swim against the tide ... building a
fortified wall between the messenger and the souls who long for
guidance. There are, however, those who are like lighted candles:
they can light other candles and they can inspire others. But the
other candles must be of wax; if they are of steel they cannot be
lighted. The heart must be like wax; it must melt; if it is like
steel, it cannot be illumined. ...

A person who, alone, has seen something beautiful, who has heard
something harmonious, who has tasted something delicious, who has
smelt something fragrant, may have enjoyed it, but not completely.
The complete joy is in sharing one's joy with others. For the selfish
one who enjoys himself and does not care for others, whether he
enjoys things of the earth or things of heaven, his enjoyment is not
complete. So it is only in this third stage that the following of the
message is fulfilled, when a soul has heard and has pondered upon it,
and has passed the same blessing on to others.

This was a busy weekend in my mind

The net acting up
The energy all over the place
The phone acting up

And just general life

The funny thing about dealing with others who have other lives

It's not about you

*grin*

So when they effect your life?

You have to regroup and reflect
And recharge

This is my day to do so

Have a great week

The greatest achievement is selflessness.
The greatest worth is self-mastery.
The greatest quality is seeking to serve others.
The greatest precept is continual awareness.
The greatest medicine is the emptiness of everything.
The greatest action is not conforming with the worlds ways.
The greatest magic is transmuting the passions.
The greatest generosity is non-attachment.
The greatest goodness is a peaceful mind.
The greatest patience is humility.
The greatest effort is not concerned with results.
The greatest meditation is a mind that lets go.
The greatest wisdom is seeing through appearances.

Atisha


Without self-knowledge, we cannot go beyond the mind.

Respecting whatever a Alpha is or not...

Respecting whatever a Alpha is or not... magnify

From the first second I created this profile name and page
Never did I have to question
What it would be

I keeps it a bit too real
Even for my damn self

*sadistic sicker*

But if you look around
You seldom will find someone who claims to be
a Alpha Dominant

Let alone the rest of it
lol

But I thought I would leave this info for the people in the cheap seats

"
Any one can say there and Alpha Male but a true Alpha is known when he comes into the room with out saying a word"

Well lets see what they say about that

The Male Psyche and the Female Variable

It's a well-known and obvious fact that there are many differences between a man and woman in both mind and body. These gaps throw a psychological kink into the biological template for both sexes, setting up roadblocks in the emotional battleground overrun by hormones that each person must overcome. The fight is fierce and seemingly never ending, which can lead to some odd solutions brought about by desperation or too much of a defensive mindset, as shown in Susan Faludi's "The Naked Citadel." However, as Lila Abu-Lughod shows in "Honor and Shame" and as portrayed in Osama, sometimes a person's situation is dictated by the surrounding environment, and breaking out of a centuries-old mold is at all easy.

High school is the first step to manhood; a male develops his relationship skills and receives a crash course in the world of women. But it can be filled with heartbreak and disappointment as well. Being a guy who knew what he was looking for in a girl, I was discretionary and caught a lot of flak from guy friends for never going out with anyone. My situation was tilted against me; I didn't know interested females that fulfilled what I was looking for, but my friends were forcing me to adopt a defensive mindset in relation to my social life. Just because I didn't have a "target" or someone to "chase after" like a dog, I was often the butt of jokes and teased. Even though I knew it was light-hearted and (usually) in good taste, it still stung having my lack of "accomplishment" thrown back in my face. This kind of mentality makes it so much harder to view women in the same way as men-they become de-humanized and made into a prize through such impersonal words, simply because the male culture has made them out as such.

Susan Faludi's experiences while touring The Citadel show how this can be taken to the extreme. She writes about the fourth-class system at the all-male college in which new recruits are made into one entity with little thought towards personal identity; through "male bonding experiences" such as community showers and hazing, everybody must rely on their fellow males for support and even survival. This womanization of freshman by the upperclassmen shows the underlying theme of some males: they consider being a woman second-class. It's a fact supported by Osama, where women cannot have jobs, show their faces in public, and are ordered around as servants by men. At one point, a female doctor is addressed by a male who's father is a patient to "Hurry up" and "Attend my father"; these are spoken as commands, not requests. In "Honor and Shame," girls in the Bedouin culture have their lives dictated by males many times, as Kamla writes to her sister when she decides to attend college against her uncles' wishes.

This making of women into a lower class is very much influenced by the surrounding environment of a given person. At The Citadel, the environment focuses on the aspects in life where men are better suited and thus more dominant: physical discipline. The military is also still geared much more toward males than females; only guys have to register for the draft, and they are the only ones who are sent on the front lines of battle. These reasons implant a seed into a recruit's mind that the male is the workhorse, and thus is one looked up to. In a militaristic society such as the one evident at the Citadel, this view is taken to the extreme; the male is made out to be dominant in all things. For some recruits, this goes against everything they learned in high school, where women are usually treated equal to men and the male sometimes has to beg for a date. I know if in that situation, given my experiences, I would be an outcast, hazed until I changed my ways or gave up. I have never viewed women as trophies or somebody that makes a good story, but that is the mentality that Susan Faludi quickly was told about, almost as if the men were proud of the collective monster they have become.

When Shannon Faulkner, a female, applied and was accepted (by way of leaving her gender blank), an uproar so great was caused that death threats surrounded the Faulkner residence for quite some time. What causes such a gap in reaction, a transition from an offensive to defensive position against women? The answer is not so simple- when asked why a woman should not be brought onto campus, no man could muster a convincing answer. (Faludi 134) Perhaps it is the reworked thought processes of the recruits; after all, "According to the Citadel creed...women are objects...they're things that you can do whatever you want with it." In an all-male society, there are no boundaries; no need to impress a woman, or act like a gentlemen for the ladies- it's all about becoming the alpha male, and in the class system, the class becomes the alpha instead of one male. Putting cadets through "...almost a POW camp..." (Faludi 135) experience twists the mind so they believe they enjoy it, because if they don't then their life isn't what the recruit wants it to be- who wants to think that about themselves? Nobody wants to look at their life and hate it; instead, it's as if these recruits are taking the template for social equality and instead using the pieces to build a wall to keep their lives the way the want it by keeping women out. To them, the only wrench in their plans could be a woman intervening, which as written earlier has led to countless atrocities. I cannot begin to comprehend the experiences going on with these men; though I'm very much a male, I have never found the need to be absolutely dominant in every facet of my life, and women are equals and in many cases superior to myself. I choose to accept women as people; thus, they are not hostile to my intent (which is getting an education) and I do not feel the need to lash out against them. Considering many graduates of The Citadel are married, I figure even with my lack of success so far, I should do well eventually, right?

When it all boils down to it, the Citadel thrives on remaking males into one mold, possibly the ideal soldier who can be cold-hearted when needed and business-like, or perhaps it is simply men being foolish and ignorant of the world around them, instead choosing to reside in a closed society where testosterone dictates the next course of action and thus the next thought process. Either way, all that seems to be bred in this hostile context is pain and suffering, no matter how it is disguised.

In "Honor and Shame" and Osama, the male notion of dominance is brought about through religion and tradition. The Islamic faith requires women to hide their faces and cover their feet at all times in public, and forbids them from working. The culture in the Middle East revolves around the women serving the men, and it has been that way for hundreds of years. Such a past history is hard to break; it took colonies over two hundred years to gain independence from Britain's world empire, and women did not gain the right to vote in the western world until the early 1900s. Osama brings the inability to work as woman close to home when Osama receives a haircut and gets a job pretending to be a boy. The struggles associated with such a transition, such as daily prayers and going to a Taliban training camp, show just how wide the gap is between the lives of men and women in the culture. The template in this situation has been set and lived by for centuries: the women serve the men and the male's will. Osama is the rebellion; she goes against what has been established as law and life by crossing the line between male and female. In other words, if she can do it, what will prevent others from doing the same? Such an event would disrupt the whole basis of the Middle Eastern culture and put men on the defensive; seeing the effects this caused in other male-dominated environments such as the Citadel, the results would probably turn violent.
"Honor and Shame" portrays the Bedouin culture and how it both runs on women and displaces them; the men cannot go on with life unless the women are their keeping everything running smoothly, a fact pointed out by Kamla when she states
"Bedouins think that as long as they have a house and can eat, drink, and be clothed, that's enough...they marry and have kids and marry again. But a man should live...a more relaxed life. Should a man come home at the end of his day tired from working and find it filthy and the kids and the women fighting? He comes wanting to relax..." (Abu-Lughod 50).

However, as Sehmina Chopra writes in her article "Liberation by the Veil", many traditions are kept not to persecute women, but to uphold the basic tenants of the Islamic faith. She writes the "covering [of the face] brings an aura of respect" and that it is "a liberation from the shackles of male scrutiny and the standards of attractiveness" (Chopra). As the men choose their wives, this can have an effect that backfires; if a man is looking at two potential mates, and they give similar responses to his questions, he will most likely choose based on their family and the amount of wealth available to gain. Even if the women are extremely close in most things, it will be the other characteristics that define them.

One phrase that stands out to me is "single mom" in relation to the topic of the sexes. What words spring into your mind when those words hit your ears? I sense helplessness, determination, sorrow, and a bit of grittiness. This begs the question: Why do we always hear about the single mom trying to support her family, but not the single dad? Is it because as a female, we view the mother as less capable of raising her children than the father? Or that the male can withstand the pressure to provide, and keep fighting, while the female will just give up and cry? I believe it may be a combination of those factors-stereotypes too often influence our thought processes in reference to others. Women have historically been a behind-the-scenes contributor to families and many times in the workforce (how many times do you concentrate on the secretary when you go to the doctor? But who does all that paperwork?); it is so easy to overlook their achievements. Instead, we rationalize the woman being helpless and afraid, like an 1960s damsel-in-distress. People never give enough credit, and that is why we fail to immediately see a single mother being victorious in her life, blazing a new career path that provides enough for her children to stay of the streets and receive an education, so they may support themselves and their mother later in life. Or why when they see the father, they instantly assume he has a decent-paying job with benefits, allowing his dependents to get on with life. Instant bias comes into play- the woman, viewed psychologically as the needier of the two sexes, is made out to be the one is a more desperate situation.

No matter what the situation happens to be, a woman in many circumstances will be viewed as inferior in some way, shape, or form. It's the inbred psychological effect; ever since the time of the caveman, the men have been the dominant gender, and the same basic idea applies today. Take a look at the workplace; the men are most often a family's main provider and the person in power of a company is more than likely male. Though we all have "equal rights," the balance of power is still shifted towards the male gender. Though not as difficult to change as the one in Osama, the environment that is established as normal becomes a massive roadblock in the careers of many women, giving them an uphill battle for what they deserve. Though the psychology (for the male, anyway) in this type of circumstance points towards the male gaining the upper hand so as to remain superior and the provider, the female is forced on the defensive because of the hostile nature of their surroundings.

As this is the established trait, anything that causes a disturbance in our male-dominated society can be viewed as a massive threat, as the student body saw Shannon Faulkner at The Citadel or the women protesters were categorized in Osama. The battle between female and male has been waged for centuries, but it is because little has changed that the war continues onward. Recruits will still be brainwashed at The Citadel, at least in the apparent future, and there is nothing to suggest an official religion change anywhere in the Middle East. Can females break the "tradition" of male supremacy? Yes, especially with the courage showed by people such as Shannon Faulkner and Osama. But the masses will have to stick together and stand firm, in peace or in battle; even then, though, change may not take place without something near divine intervention. However, to quote an old cliché, it only takes a pebble to start an avalanche. But if nobody is listening, then did the avalanche ever occur?

Why Alpha Females Should Choose Alpha Males

By Cynthia Smith, published May 21, 2007
Published Content: 7 Total Views: 3,330 Favorited By: 0 CPs

Becoming the ultimate Alpha male is one of the hottest topics there is. Countless e-books exist which purport to teach a submissive Beta male how to develop Alpha traits. However, there aren't enough books that teach an Alpha female how to work with her Alpha male? How do you mesh the personalities of two people who are both dominant and bossy and who like to get their way?

Why would an Alpha male want an Alpha female when he wants to be in charge? Why would an Alpha female want an Alpha male when she needs to be in control?

In order to understand why this apparent oxymoron exists, one has to understand biology; in fact, one needs to understand wolf biology because the whole tagging of people as Alphas and Betas is based on observance of wolf pack behavior.

In the jungle, wolves live in packs. The pack is usually led by a dominant male, which animal sociologists call the Alpha male. The Alpha male mates with one female. She is the dominant female of the pack and she is called the Alpha female. She is dominant over the rest of the pack, males and females alike. She is submissive to only one wolf and that is the Alpha wolf. The male values her because she has the strength and intelligence to produce strong offspring

I'm discussing wolf behavior simply to point out an obvious fact. The Alpha female is dominant over all except her Alpha male. Alpha women do not need to feel ashamed that we want men to lead after all. We are still leaders on our jobs and in our places of worship.

No matter how much we, as women evolve, there are still parts of our female psyches that seek the protector. We still seek that man who can enter a room, assess the situation and take charge. When we meet men who don't have those strong leadership skills, we become frustrated and dominate them. If they are not worthy of leading us, then they should cower at our feet. No?

Why should I, as an Alpha female, choose a male that can dominate me? The Alpha in me responds to the Alpha in him. When I see him, I melt. When he speaks to me in his commanding voice, all my usual arrogance goes out the window. He understands who I am. I understand who he is. He understands my strength, but subtly lets me know that he is in charge now and that I no longer need to be in charge.

We are not wolves. Yet no matter how much we shave our hairy bodies, deodorize our odors, build tall buildings that speak of our prowess and drive around in fancy speed devils, we are still humans. We are still part of the animal kingdom. No matter how deep we bury our instincts, they are still there.

I am an Alpha female and I desire an Alpha male.

Definitions of Alpha Male

Definitions of Alpha Male on the Web:

a term used to describe a macho male character within a romance.
www.fictionforum.net/writers/articles/art01-02.html
An alpha male or alpha female is the individual in the community to whom the others follow and defer. Humans and their nearest species-relatives, the chimpanzees, show deference to the alpha of the community by ritualized gestures such as bowing, allowing the alpha to walk first in a procession, or standing aside when the alpha challenges. Canines also show deference to the alpha male in their pack, by allowing him to be the first to eat and the first to mate. ...

Human alpha, beta, and omega males: the reality

posted Saturday, 15 October 2005

The subject of social dynamics, male/female relations, and the alpha/beta/omega dynamic is something I have been studying actively for months, both in reading and in life experience. I decided to take this study up after having had many girlfriends but having recently noticed that I was being broken up with first quite a lot. I suppose I had lost my magic after having graduated college and gotten focused on my career. My interest in this subject has nothing to do with me wanting to hurt or manipulate women.

I can surely attest that there are in fact alpha and beta males in the human portion of kingdom animalia. I would say that any woman who denies this probably denies a good portion of her own emotions and sensuality as well.

The alpha male...The funny, often charming guy who can be at a party and hardly say a word, but his body language says everything. The guy who could most likely have sex with a good portion of the women, single or hitched, in attendance that very night (and of course no one would be the wiser).

On the other side, the beta male. He very well might be good looking, funny, etc., but after ten minutes or so in the presence of the alpha male he will try to break the alpha male's frame of mind. He does this by subtle jokes that seem innocent but are intended to degrade the alpha male's status in the eyes of others. If he is successful in making the alpha male lose his cool and take the ‘low road’, he himself might very well be take the alpha position, for the night at least. I have seen it and been on both sides of it too many times to deny its reality. After all, it is the alpha male's world and most of the people there are just players within it.

The beta male might also readily submit to the alpha male in a genuine fashion, however. The beta male will also willingly argue with other beta males in an attempt to make others think he is the alpha male. Little does he know that the alpha male is just grinning to himself on the inside at the whole spectacle much of the time, and the women the beta male wants are more embarrassed than impressed by the beta male's behavior. Beta males often also act nice in order to curry favor with women and the alpha males.

Then there are the omega males – generally the true nice guys... but also what we call ‘losers’ Generally avoided, and the next day hardly anyone remembers they were even there. The guy who is almost guaranteed not to have sex that night, even if a women by luck takes a fancy to him, because his model of the world isn't such that he can take a girl home and just have sex with her if he so chooses.

This model I have just outlined is rigid and many of you will no doubt disagree with it. But there is a pecking order in life. The good news, at least, is that it isn't set in stone at birth: someone who is an alpha quarterback in high school can become a beta construction worker; and a beta or omega nerd in high school can become an alpha CEO later in his life.

And in the context of Taken In Hand – some natural alpha males who have hitherto let society fool them into thinking that Hollywood romantic beta behavior was what the world wanted of him, finally come around, as we have seen on this thread. There are many other permutations.

How has this insight changed things for me? Frankly, I no longer put women on a pedestal. I am still a gentleman. I open doors for women – hell, I open doors for men too, so it isn't a trick to curry favor. I now understand that women get attracted and have desire just as strong as that of a man.

My view is more realistic now... No scorn, no anger that my dream as a child of having a Hollywood romance may not happen – just realism. I am not the type of guy who wants to have sexual relations with every woman, but I have done experiments in pushing the envelope over the past 6 or 7 months. It has opened my eyes to the fact that the majority of women will do anything for what they perceive as the dominant male.

I have also started to understand social dynamics a bit better: I can see when people are trying to force me into a beta position. In the past I might not have caught it. I am cool and laidback and I wasn't really quick on the uptake, so to speak.

And this has been my realization: Men these days really aren't totally pussies at heart like they seem. They have merely been brainwashed into thinking this is the way to be.



What are Alpha, Beta, Gammas and Omega males?

posted Saturday, 15 October 2005

Originally, the terms Alpha, Beta, and even Gammas and Omega male applied to animals who live in packs, such as wolves and apes.

The Alpha is the dominant one...The strongest, meanest and the one who gets to have sex with all the females...

The Betas are also strong, and occasionally get to sneak some sex, but if caught by the Alpha, may face serious reprocussions.

The Gammas and Omegas are the lowest of the low...The weak males..perhaps deformed, old, or horribly injured in a fight...The ones who have zero chance of getting any sex, and sadly won't be able to pass on their genes.

This structure doesn't apply to humans strictly, but it most DEFINITELY does apply. When you start to watch people, at bars, parties, any gathering of people, there will generally be one guy who, either from the start, or over time brings everyone else into HIS reality. Everyone laughs at his jokes, the women giggle and claw for his attention.

The Beta Human Male is the guy who is jealous, but still kisses the Alphas ass, and often will have silly arguments with other Betas all the while being ignored by the women..The whole time the alpha grins to himself on the inside at the whole specatle, knowing full well he can take at least a few of these women into the bathroom and have sex right then and there.

The Gamma and Omega Male Humans are the "losers"...They try to start a conversations and the whole time the other person is trying their best to excuse themselves, etc...They are not even remembered for being at the gathering in the first place.

"Some 80 percent of the women strive for just 5 percent of the men."




"from the Steel door site"

The only way to be a 'real' submissive is to be real. This means be who you are. Be truthful, especially to yourself. If you are in a position where you do not desire a singular commitment to one Dominant at this time then be truthful about this as well. Subterfuge, deceit and manipulation are actions of a desire to control or fear of loss. Honesty is a harsh path but it is the only path where happiness and joy bear fruit. To deliver the fullness of yourself you have to find out who you are, and you have to find out that honesty and you are enough, just exactly as you are.

My Daddy told me
"If you have to prove yourself to anyone, then you don't need them..."

And I respect him

I have been around in several different forms, images, and profiles online
I blog
I write
I inform
I entertain

I keeps it real

And I am not here to compete with anyone

But I do post info to many who wish to lurk
So that maybe they may leave with a bit more than they snuck up on my page with
*blank stare*

But some of yall need to learn how to learn how to learn
lol

Because whatever you call yourself
online
And in your own mind

Don't mean that you know jack about if you are
Unless you are what you are
Already

Now I don't care if you get up in your feelings about my words

I'm not your role model

And you aint important to my cause

So try to learn more than you know

Like something new

Or someone new


Because I have nothing to prove

Do you?


respect

Respecting being human first? (+/-)

Respecting being human first?  (+/-) magnify

I read alot about submissives and what they think
And frankly
I find it kinda funny how many of them really think
Dominants are some comic book hero or Harlequin romance figure

You hear them and see them dreaming of some image
That is fit for their liking
Including whatever they want them to be like
And be treated like

And they do all this building of these images
That sound nothing like what they need
More than what they want

And what's the good in that?

If you are so perfect as you are alone?
Then why would anyone want someone who thinks
They don't have to work
They don't have to serve
They don't have to submit
They don't have to respect them
If they don't feel it's what they want to do

*smirk*

And I'm not talking about being Domineering
I mean
After you make a mutual connection
And you form a understanding that you have enough in common to try to live together in some form of a relationship

What about the everyday issues you have to deal with?

What about the rest of your everyday life?

Are they a part of that too?

Or are they just contractors
Hired to be there when you need it
And then it's off, back to their corner
Until you need some attention
Again

*wicked grin*

Kinda like a teddy bear that you can toss on your bed when you are in need of some form of attention and inclusion to someone

A trophy

And no matter what you think

A Dominant is human too
And in many cases more human than you feel you are without them

And I don't mean every Dominant
Because there is NO one person who is alike


Yet you read these quotes and theories of how they should be
For a submissive
From a submissive

And the real fact is
A Dominant does not NEED a submissive
As much as they need someone who needs them
Respects them
Trust them
And has a desire to become a productive piece of their lives
As a submissive
To them

And willing to prove it
All for the price of being a part of that Dominants life

"Without return"
Because any real Dominant would respect any real submissives submission to them

Respectfully

I did say any real Dominant
Because just because you say you are something
And you feel it
You claim it
You name it

Don't mean that you are made for whoever wants to be a submissive
Even if it is to you

This is still the real world and this is still reality
And life aint easy for one person try'n to be progressive
Try'n to be positive
Try'n to be productive

Try'n not to be a waste of human flesh

And life is hard enough alone
But maybe if you were to find a partner
Someone who is down for your cause
Because your paths not only cross
But they support each other
As you would wish a partner would be
For life
And not until the cum dries

But that sounds deeper than just a vanilla relationship
Because it is

*duh*

You don't have to have a great plan
As long as you plan on having a plan
And sticking to it
Together

And this lifestyle stuff only adds style to your life

And not just something to do when your feeling kinky

Or it's just as well you do bad by yourself

And that goes for your life in general

And maybe that is why so many people don't like their lives as they are right now

They can't get it together by themselves
Without any help

But
What's the use of asking or even seeking help from others?
Only to feel the need to define and control your own life
No matter who else is in your life to some degree
You still feel the need to feel you are in charge of your own destiny

And that is not what this lifestyle is about
At least

This lifestyle is for people who are so busy being busy
Working on being productive
That this lifestyle offers a constructive foundation
To the part of your lives you spend together
When your not in the real world
Making moves
And paying bills
And making something more out of the blessings you have been given

And all of that does not sound like what you see people talking about they want from this lifestyle
And others who are in it or of it

If sex and playing like you are some royalty
Is all you see this lifestyle to be
Then you are the weakest link
Of this lifestyle

And this is not a selfish sport

If you claim to be submissive?

Or you desire to be that way to someone?

Then you have to consider the reality of your submission

You are at your best when you are of service to whom you serve
And not because they want you to serve them
But because you value their need to have a better partner
Who is a part of the big picture

Life with your Dominant
As you assist
As you support
As you live their life
And enjoying them enjoying your submission to them

Making them the happiest Dominant
And a stronger force in life
With you

And not just dragging a sleeping body of make believe submission
Bitching about what they want

*snicker*

Because you not only compliment them and their lives
You are a part of their lives
A investor
And you believe in them to be worth more with you
Than you without them
And they without you
Unless you have nothing to offer

The joy of giving someone everything they need to excel
And being a part of your gift to them

Your sub mission

Your submission to them is a weapon to all others who cross their path
Your submission to them is a trophy of their worth to you

Not your submission being perfect

But their Dominance can perfect your submission

Together

As a team
And their is no "I" in team
Maybe a "i" am the team
And you are a part of a plan

Like the good tires are to a expensive car


Not worth the body but they support the overall performance



And from what I have seen from many others?

They seem to think that they can get away with being
Cheap tires
Worn and only concerned about being used
And not concerned about their effect on that cars ability to win the race
They seem to feel that being a part of a loosing team
Is better than not being in the race at all

And the bottom line to life is?

Like in the expensive cars reality

If the car wins the race?
Even the tires become the winning sponsor

But we are not talking about tires or cars

We are talking about this lifestyle
And the relationships formed by it
And the value of your Dominance and sub mission to each others lives

And how to offer a better service to each other
As you live togeher
To some degree

And everyday is a new learning process
And everyone has to improve
To better suit each other
And the common goal of winning the race of life
The best you can
Together

Each one supports the other

But only one is the top of the food chain
They know what is needed
And you can only offer assistance
But they have the final say
And you respect that say and them

But if you do not feel that they are qualified to be that powerful?
Then why think about offering your power to them?
It's not called Kinda Power Exchange

Is your life and theirs worth so little to waste
Trying to be something to each other that you are not

This is not a game


As a Dominant

If you are not willing to live for more than just yourself?

Then maybe your just Dominant-ish


If you do not value positive results through your training?
Then why try to act like you have time to waste on others who do not want to change or improve?

You should not have to make someone want to become more to you and themselves

Because they are a part of your life
If you so claim to desire owning them and protecting them
Then you should not have to beat them into submission
They should desire your direction

Or you are fooling each other
And they do not respect your Dominance
And that will never change
If it does not change

And you will let them hurt you and your image
As you take the blame
For letting them
Act like they are doing something
They are not

Being a supportive submissive
To a respected Dominant

Because for me
I have a natural desire to provide for others who support me

I value sharing improvements together
When others are being supportive through their own evolution
Into a better team
Together
With me

Because I hear many women say they can do bad by themselves
But I seldom see them say they can do better with me
Or someone they are ready to respect
More than they have to date
(or fuck)

*blank stare*

But some people do not want as much out of life as others do
And we should not settle for not being lonely

We should have as much as we can get
And if we can do it together?
Then we can share the fruits of our labor together

And I think too many people risk too much of their time
Just fucking around
(or fucking)

And not pulling resources and building a better partnership
Together

And the kinky stuff is more fun when you enjoy learning more about each other
SSC

But most of all
When you let a Dominant mold you into what he can not live without?
You will not live without them

But it's work
And everyone has a job to do
And nobody is worth a day off over the other

Because life is not easy

But Sir Ez's life is better with this lifestyle
Than without it

But only when it works for me
And mines


And you will never be a submissive until you submit to someone you respect
And stay that way
Together
And they respect you for being you

Owned
By someone you respect

Forsaking all others
Together

Us against the world

And we are winning


Or your just dreaming of being something your not ready to wake up and learn how to become

And time waits for no one

A
nd I wonder why so many people waste so much time
Acting like so many others have time to waste
On them

If you were worth what you feel you are as you are?
More people would want you more


But don't take it personal

This is just a lifestyle

Some of you first have to find a life
And then find out how much style you have to offer

And then you have to live
Together

Or not

But
Dominant or sub missive

We all are just imperfect humans on this earth

Looking for a better way of living a better way

And for me?

This lifestyle is worth more than sex
And more fun than just sex

But you have to first Master being able to respect sex
Because you can fuck yourself

But where is the fun in that?
When you can be kinky
Together

If you respect yourself first
And respect the need to respect others
Who respect you

And know the difference

Anyone can call themselves a Dominant or a sub missive

But what else do you have to work with?

Lusting for a vanilla life?

Respecting the norm?
Respecting the norm? magnify

Working on a relationship of any kind can be hard

But when you are single and a provider
And not a mate


It can be a bit more stressful

But it can be done

If it is worth it

But with no direction or mutual plan
You can end up just spinning your wheels
And waisting a great deal of time

But that depends on what you want
And what you are willing to do to have it

But what about whoever you are dealing with?

Do they feel the same?

Do they have the same plan and direction with you?

Do they compliment you and you them?

Because you can have a lifestyle relationship and not be in a vanilla relationship
Or you can them both

But that takes more work

And we all have needs

But sometimes I really desire more than just being more to others than I have from anyone on a personal level

Meaning?

If you don't mutually stand for something together?

Then you will only have what is available

If you agree

Together

Or not

*snicker*

But when there is no emotional bond

All you have is faith, trust, and whatever you agree to be to each other

Or not



respect

Respecting D/s 24/7


It's always a bit more helpful to have more support
And when you find others who respect you
And each other
You can build a better foundation
Together


Everybody wants to do many of the things some of us do on a 24/7 basis

Some want to have productive relationships
Some want to be poly

But many find it to be more of a dream than a possibility

But it is work

And the pay off for being productive is worth the effort

Because it's all about what works well for you
But many find it harder to try than to do
And even harder to keep doing it
And doing it better in time

Every relationship is unique

Each person has needs and desires to support what they respect

And for me and mines?

We respect the ability to provide each other with positive support through the D/s lifestyle

And it has been helpful to all of us in one way or the other
We support each other mentally, physically and spiritually

And that is a rare combination to find and work with

So I guess it is what you make it
Every day you work at being more to each other
And it is a day to day struggle to stay respectful of each other's devotion to the whole

Jealousy, Envy, Compersion, A Mish Mash of Thought.

Jealousy, envy and compersion…

It is generally agreed that jealousy happens, much like shit hitting the fan. There are times you can see it coming and maybe you can get out of the way. Sometimes, sometimes is flys out of no where.
I think a long time ago I felt a lot of what I thought of as jealousy. I see now that it was envy that I was feeling most of the time. I’m no saint, I’ve been jealous before.

But I learned though that there is a huge difference between jealousy and envy.

Jealousy is something that has the potential to destroy. It’s when someone wants what someone else has. They covet that possession to a degree that emotionally sets it apart from envy. Perhaps they will stop at nothing to have it or they will create problems for the one in possession.
Envy is a little different. It’s wanting what someone else has, but not feeling it to the degree that they’d act upon it. They want something like it, but not the exact thing that another person has. It can burn just like jealousy, but it doesn’t eat away at the person. It just sits and eventually cools.

Well, such things are easy to understand when say, you like your friends girlfriend. You can see the obvious boundary. He doesn’t share. She’s not yours, etc.

In poly though, um, you are sharing. You have access to your friend’s girlfriend. That girlfriend is your girlfriend, too.

In the latter case, jealousy and envy can seem closely knitted together. I would say though that the gut of both still hasn’t changed. Jealousy can move one to destroy a relationship. Envy is just wanting what someone else has without the emotional pressure to do something about it other than to look for your own piece of that universal joy.

But you know how does that work when two people have the same piece of pie? Can you have the same relationship with someone that someone else has with that same someone? Hmmm, that’s a little confusing. ( At least to me and I’m writing this shit.) So let me create some peoples.

Blam!!!!!!

Albert, Becky and Carl are a threesome. Albert and Becky met first; they are married. Carl comes along and joins the family. ( For reals, not that fake “sure you’re apart of the family” that some people dole out.) They all live together.

Carl loves Becky a great deal. Sometimes he wishes he were the one married to her. He thinks it might be nice to have that with her, but he won’t push it because he walked into the relationship fully understanding that Becky leaving Albert was the ultimate limit to what the three could have. Yet, Carl still dreams of it...

I’d call that envy.

Now for jealousy. ( This should be fun!!!)

Albert likes Carl. Carl’s a bit younger, maybe a little more fit. Big Al’s not packing the muscle like Carl is. Maybe Albert thinks Carl is funnier, smarter, maybe Carl makes more money than Albert. Who knows? Jealousy is weird. It picks anything to freak over and sometimes it freaks over the silliest of things. Maybe Albert is intimated because Carl is blonde…
Anyway, Albert hates to leave Carl alone with Becky. He promises them time, but he always comes home early or has to break the date. He’s constantly manipulating the situation and using his power to get what he wants.
Becky is upset but she doesn’t know what to do. She just wants to have some quality time with Carl, that’s all. She loves Albert and she would never leave him. She’d like to love Carl the same way, but Albert won’t seem to let it.
Carl is at a loss. He cares for both Albert and Becky. He wouldn’t do anything to jeopardize their marriage, but then he wants to have some time with Becky. Albert is married to Becky, she sleeps in his bed every night, they have had 10 years together, what more does he want?

Albert has let his insecurities take over and he’s not playing nice. He’s tossing his weight around and holding Becky and Carl emotionally hostage. Neither Becky nor Carl want to upset Albert to the point he wants to back out on this, but they want to be happy, too.

Okay so this isn’t Danielle Steel material, but you know a lot of poly jealousy is like this. It’s very covert at times. In this scenario Albert is creating animosity and manipulating the situation. He is constantly forcing Becky to choose him over Carl. He is making both of them feel his “primary power”. In the end, this is going to build resentment. It’s going to harm the relationships, all of them, A to B, B to C, A to C.

And it’s going to prevent compersion.

Ah, compersion. That’s such a soft fluffy word.

If Albert and Carl hit it off, if the two of them give each other respect and space and the most precious of all things, time with their lovers they will build compersion. They will be happy to see the other happy with Becky. They won’t feel cheated of anything so they won’t mind seeing the other one cuddled up on the couch watching TV.

I mean, in the icky situation do you see Carl smiling happily while Albert cuddles up to Becky? He didn’t get his night with her. He hasn’t had any quality time. I doubt he will smile a wit that isn’t filled with “Albert you suck.”

Yeah, I made Albert the bad guy. This blog is for secondaries after all.. We can all go find a page written form the primary view that is full of fears of what Carl may do. I say fuck Albert he’s an ass. J

But you get what I’m touching on right?

Maybe not because I haven’t really made a point yet. Let’s see if I can sum it up.

Jealousy and envy are different.
Jealousy bad.
Envy good. ( Well, okay.)
If you allow jealousy to run you, you can destroy your relationships.
Actively acting on jealousy hampers compersion.
Compersion is the goal for happy poly.

If you don’t confront jealousy it will make things hard. Face it, communicate it, deal with it, move on.

Oh, if it were only that easy.


Oh shit!!! I forgot, Can you have the same relationship??? Can Albert have the same thing with Becky that Carl has and vice versa?

Hell no. Each combination has its own dynamic and personality. Each person brings their own experience, creativity, joy, and baggage to their relationships. I’ve got leopard print luggage. You have a mish mash of JC Penny discards. We carry our sets on the flight and we have our own unique parade of wheeled luggage. Albert has moss green luggage that looks like birds shit on it. Not the same, totally not the same.

And you should be proud of it, proud of what you can offer not upset about what you can’t.

Gosh, maybe I should think about outlines.

http://www.steel-door.com/polygamy.htm This is a nice overview

I do not think that being third can be that much different then being the second or the fourth or so one. The only major differences I have found is at the top and the alpha and everyone needing to work together.

I have been in a few poly relationships it is a lot of work for all concerned, you most be able to give and take. Have you seen the show Big Love on HBO? Well it has some good concepts on poly I do not think it fits over all into what things really are like but it does touch on some good things. You can learn more about the show on www.hbo.com and go to big love.

The biggest thing I have found is that you need to have communication and not to hold things inside of you that you may be feeling. You need to be able to deal with the feelings and to talk about them openly and to work through them.

I hope that this has helped you some and if you have more questions please contact me I will do my best to help you.

Thank you

Family

A basic foundation of support for each other as a family
Lifestyle Friends

Imperfect human beings who found some comfort in the living together in some manner together in the D/s lifestyle 24/7




That's what we do

And as the top of the food chain in this D/s relationship
I am proud to say that we have been more blessed together
As we live and learn each other more
We grow

And that is what many of you fail to find
Because you seek a unfair reality as to what this lifestyle is about in general

D/s in some ways is like adult parenthood
Some ways it's like a group or gang
Family in kink
A crew

And I can honestly say that the road has not been easy
But it has it's rewards
Because the other moments we spend away from the Dungeons
The moments we live vanilla lives apart in some manner
We still support each other as grown adults of like minds

And many come and go in our lives and lifestyles
But our foundation is built on a lifetime commitment to respect each other as individuals
And then as friends
And then as family in a Poly D/s lifestyle

And there is room for growth
Together
And we all support anyone who respects what we do together

In our own style
In our own lives

Together

And even though I am the top of the food chain in this relationship
I am only as good as we all are to each other

And as long as we can support each other
As long as we provide positive energy to each of us as a family

Nothing is impossible together

And it takes more time than a few meet and greets
It takes more time than a few sessions
It takes more time than a few ups and downs
It takes time to learn each other more



It is what it is for us


Poly D/s
Pimpstyle
*wicked grin*


Not that any of you need to understand what we do or not
But we know that the most important objective
Is to be productively supportive to each other as a D/s Poly Family

All we ask is that you understand that we respect this lifestyle
That we do

And if you are about being more in these lifestyles than without them?

Then maybe we are at least on the same page


Maybe we can learn from each other as a BDSM lifestyle community

And maybe not

But for us


D/s
S&M
Open Sexual expression
SSC

Is what we respect
Together


And for that we have been blessed
To have these lifestyles as a basic format
As to how to add more style to our lives
And respect each other
And the Pimpstyle House as a whole

And today I just want to thank everyone who has been productive
To us
To our way of life
To our lifestyle as adult POCs in a SSC manner

So for me
AMP Sir Ez
Loki

Mlfu
Mlfd
And all that my fall under consideration in the days to come

We wish you all a better chance in finding what works for you
And youres

At least in these sexual lifestyles










respect
