The significance of the collar!

(Note: These pictures were taken from the video. I had professional pictures taken that will show us much clearer. I just couldn't wait to get this posted)

I know I haven’t posted in a while, so I have some good news!! First I want to explain a little about what a collaring means to me.

There is nothing more significant to a submissive than to be “owned” by their Master or Mistress. In the world of Dominance and submission, the collar represents ownership and clearly defines the commitment between the Domme and sub. For the Domme, the collar represents her property. In a public, lifestyle friendly environment, other Dommes and subs will know that your slave is owned. Basically, your submissive has been taken off the market.

Now the private meaning behind the collar.

The collar represents commitment and devotion between the Domme and sub. The Domme, by collaring her sub, is agreeing to lead, guide, protect, love (if that kind of relationship has been established) and give purpose and meaning to the slave. The commitment from the slave is of devotion, obedience, worship, adoration and complete surrender. In my particular relationship, we are married and my husband is collared to me. In a vanilla marriage, property and day to day responsibilities are split 50/50. If one partner fails to give their 50%, trouble occurs in the marriage. In a Master/slave relationship, the expectations of the relationship are well defined. It is known that all property resorts to the Dominant. Control of the entire relationship lands at the feet of the Dominant and from there the Domme decides which tasks are best handled by which partner. There is no power struggle.

Becoming a slave does not strip the submissive of all responsibility. That is purely fiction and internet land bullshit. My slaves #1 priority is to make my life easier. He is here to serve me. I do not order him around everyday, directing his every move. How does that benefit me? All that does is cause more and more work for me. I expect him to think, act and react to everything with my best interest in mind. Oh, it might be nice to be in the “Story of O” for a weekend, but come Monday my slave is back to reality.

So, to wrap this up, It is done – I have collared my darling hubby. I did a post about 6 months ago and found out that my darling had a ways to go. It officially took me a year to break down his walls and rebuild the trust that had been shattered for so long. That rebuilding went both ways. I am no angel, I have done enough to be untrustworthy. I cried like a baby at the collaring. I never thought my relationship with my husband would ever be strong enough for a collar. I was wrong. The ultimate service and gift a submissive can give a Domme is his submission. It is a gift, freely given. It is not something I can take. I did push him to surrender but in the end it was a decision he made. It showed me how much he trusts me and adores me. He trusts me with his life and that means the world to me. It was a beautiful ceremony. I have captured some pics from the video. I hope you all enjoy them. The collar is around my darlings neck and he is out of town on a family emergency. I will take some pics of it and post it later. I also see that you can upload video. Maybe I'll upload a little clip of the collaring. Like I said, it was beautiful. Did I mention I cried like a baby???

I have scheduled a time each week to update the blog. I have been so busy lately with the website and the collaring I haven’t had time to breath. I have been thinking about a post on “What is the role of the Domme”. I have had that question posed to me by a very smart submissive. Mine to be exact and I think it is a great question. Look for that post next week!!!

Shame! You revealed why you're really doing this. Everyone just out for a buck, eh?

whatevershesays said...

Congrats. A little ove the top for me and my wife but I'm happy for you. I do, however, wish that my wife would take more formal control.

Mrs. Claudia said...

Hello everyone,

Thanks for your nice comments everyone.

Bonnie, as`always your a doll!!

Anonymous,
Unfortuntely I am not independantly wealthy. I wish I was and then I could spend all day funding and counseling for free. The only way I am going to be able to afford the time and money to get my free couples site off the ground is if I charge a nominal fee for a others to see my life. I don't think I will get filthy rich charging $19 to a website. If you would like to fund my time and free site, I would be more than happy to discuss it. Why don't you actually read my blog and look at my site before you make ignorant comments. When your anonymous though, it is easy to cast stones!!! What a shame!!!

Whatevershesays,
What works for me might not work for you. This lifestyle works for some and not others. I do hope you and your Wife much luck!!

Hugs,
Claudia

No, anonymous, Mrs. Claudia isn't doing this "for a buck." Everything she says here is based on her actual life, truly owning her husband, and she's taking the time and trouble to show very intimate details of that life in order to educate others on the reality of what to most is an unapproachable fantasy. If you can't learn from her, you can't learn from anyone - go back to dreaming over your computer.

Don't know if/how/when your Honored Wife "would take more formal control" whatevershesays. But Mrs. Claudia has shown you it is possible. Remember that a collaring ceremony is a celebration, and event; doesn't mean that every second of every day she and her husband are dressed up doing interesting, intimate activities in front of their friends.

Claudia:

Does it really matter to you if I'm anonymous or not? Well for the purposes of this post my name is Rabo Karabekian and I'm a 52 year old lizard who lives in the middle of Niger. OK? Can I resume throwing stones?

As a matter of fact, I wasn't really throwing stones at all - really what I was saying was "Hey! Your blog was really good and I really did think you and your husband were into this life, but now I can no long suspend disbelief as you've done something that makes me doubt your intentions". In fact, now I see all the referral ads and wonder if there was some natural progression that I just didn't see before. Anyway you've gone from pretty interesting / convincing blog to a mediocre 'just another' porn site.

Frankly if you can get the internet to finance your next bar of soap then I'd be pleased, though, I guess, if you are going to do it, then porn is probably one of the easier ways to do it.

Anyway, all this is irrelevant, I'm sure you have lots of views on this blog and losing one will make no difference at all.

Oh and 'way to miss the point' Mr so-bloody-sycophantic Ravensron.

Anyway, I promise not to disturb anymore...back to being Mr Karabekian ;)

ravensron said...

Why no, anonymous, I didn't miss the point; that you're a sad little wanker who can't believe a Lady is giving her husband something you'll never have. See? Got the point in one.

Anonymous said...

... and of course there were all those question which were collected months ago. We are still waiting for the answers.

I agree with Mr Karabekian - those ads are not "public service announcements".

Ravensron - you are naive.

Mrs. Claudia said...

That's it. I have had enough.

To both of the anonymous readers:

While I value your opinions and love that you have found my blog informative, let me remind you of something key. THIS IS MY BLOG TO DO WHATEVER I CHOOSE. THIS IS NOT A DEMOCRACY, BUT A DICTATORSHIP. I can have this PERSONAL blog reflect anything I like. This is not a public message board, nor a community forum that you have any input or say in. When either of you actually start your own blogs, or contribute anything worth while to the lifestyle, then you can format that blog however you choose.

I am not into deleting comments, because I can take negative and positive comments just the same, but I am very close to deleting your comments. I do not know why either one of you think it is your place to say what MY BLOG should or shouldn't contain, but it is not your place, nor do I care about your view on that particular subject!!!

If you no longer find my blog informative then MOVE ON. Go start your own blogs and do whatever you wish. As long as it deals with something you actually contribute to and control, you can do and say whatever you want.

Please do not post any more comments to my blog. From this point forward all comments by anonymous readers will not be allowed. It is unfortunate that a few bad apples have to ruin it for the masses but that is just the way things seem to go!!!

Again, if you do not like they way MY blog is going, you are free to not read it. If you both think that because I have some banners on this blog, that the spirit of what I try to convey is no longer valid, then that is fine. Just MOVE ON.

When you start your own blog, I would be more than happy to read it. I am always looking for new and fresh ways to educate myself about this lifestyle.

Until then, have a coke and a smile and f#@k off!!

Mrs. Claudia said...

CHANGE TO COMMENT POST ABOVE:

I WILL ALLOW ANONYMOUS COMMENTS, BUT I WILL MODERATE ALL COMMENTS THAT ARE POSTED TO THIS BLOG FROM NOW ON.

It is unfotunate that I have to do that, but I can see it is a necessity!!!

I WILL NOT ALLOW THIS BLOG TO BECOME A PLACE WHERE PEOPLE USE IT AS A PISSING MATCH AND NEGATIVE DUMPING STATION.

Mrs.Claudia

Anonymous said...

I am sure you'll remove this before anyone sees it, but Claudia, if you are not able to cope with comments and criticism very well, you should reconsider having a comments section at all.

Mrs. Claudia said...

A final note:

As I have said and plainly proven, I can take positive and negative comments. I hope to show by the way I am chosing to handle this situation that I am open to all comments, good or bad. Finally, I will be getting back to posting informative information to this blog. Please continue to share your views on the lifestyle. I always welcome a good debate or view on anything lifestyle related.

Kisses to all,
MrsClaudia

Well, Aspirant at "A Slave's Path"
had pictures of his collaring,also

His web site has disappeared, presumably because his Domina, whom he called Master, attempted to commit suicide.

... and so it goes.

Mrs. Claudia said...

Wow, that is so sad that his Master tried to commit suicide. It must be very difficult for Aspirant to deal with something so horrible as that. Thanks for the comment.

Hugs,
MrsClaudia

happy for your reply, me and my wife are readers of your blog and the Femdom scene in Portugal... well.. does not exist so the internet is the only source of info.
Once again, many thanks from a couple in Portugal.

Hi Claudia,

I know this is going back in time to comment on this post but I was browsing your blog as I noticed you've put up a pro-site. Then I saw that this post had a bunch of comments so I took a look at them.

I'm actually really glad that you left up the previous comments and your responses. We've been seriously considering letting our blog go because of the time involved in keeping it going at the level we'd like.

We've on-again, off-again considered doing something similar to what you are doing: running some ads, trying to do something for money without being sure what, in order to make it more worth our effort and time. I don't think people appreciate at all how much time and effort go into these things. Unless someone else is paying the bills for you while you sit home and write (I wish) then you have to find some balance.

Someone recently posted something on our blog (scott took it down before I saw it so I wouldn't get upset but then told me about it anyway) saying, "Why has the quality of this blog gone down?"

It was an anon comment (otherwise we probably would have answered it) and it really ticked me off. It's a free site that I do just for my own enjoyment and someone out there thinks it's there for them, that my purpose is to get them off.

It made me think about the person posting here as well. Do they think that it is your obligation to provide their free entertainment and that by getting some small profit you are less "real"? I've thought about going pro as a domme occasionally and I think that would make me more real not less real.

Anyway, just felt like putting in my two-cents. Good Luck with your new site.

Hi Emma,

I am so glad to hear from you. Thank you so much for your positive comments. As you know I can take the negative, but I would much rather have positive ones!! I am so glad to see you understand you know where I am coming from! I think you should go for it! There are a million people out there that would really appreciate the opportunity to see a real life couple living this lifestyle. There is nothing wrong with making a living off of our expertise, nothing at all!

Kisses to you,
MrsC
