Their Journey Continues ...
» F/m Weblogs
I’m glad I’m often able to overcome my prejudices.
I have one against capitalization protocol. For aesthetic reasons but mostly because when I first encountered the practice it was being preached as the only proper form of written D/s.
Bias pushed out of the way* I’m able to enjoy the writings of Mistress. Kika and spirit. And I thank them for writing more of late. She is an admirable woman and he a worthy partner.
Mistress Kika tells of a recent evening:
… Play sessions had taken a back seat due to O/our health concerns but I was feeling frisky and decide to try to drop spirit from his top space. With a few sensual kisses and My finger tips stroking his nipples, I easily had spirit descend into has middle space, ready and eager to do as I please. I kept him that way for a while, heightening his expectation of the unexpected. I asked him to go to the bedroom, get naked and to wait for Me in his punishment position. ….
From spirit’s vantage:
Later, I ended up in Her arms. I felt little, very submissive, but blessed at the same time for have such a Woman in my life. I talked of few of my fears, i cried a bit, hugged and kissed Her tight. She reminded me once again that i am very loved and cherised.I felt more submissive, more blessed.
Go read and share their journey.
* Well, for other people - for me a hard limit.
Comments
I find the whole W/we thing rather distracting, but I think it does the same thing that the third person protocol does—make the submissive person using it concentrate in regular communication on his or her status. Many people find this to be a good thing.
I would feel very foolish writing about myself with capitalized pronouns. Just as I would being someone’s Goddess…so I guess it takes all kinds. (If I were a Goddess, I suppose I would want capitalized pronouns—that’s one of the perks, isn’t it?)
I must admit my heart skips a beat when I see myself referred to as “She.” Ties back to that old silly fantasy novel by Haggard, I guess…there is power there.

She Who Must Be Obeyed – I never read the novel, always sounded too much of White Man among the savages. But I did see Ursula Andress in the Hammer movie. I remember being very impressed (I was about ten). At least impressed by Her. My memory is that the movie was so pokey that it is one of the few 1960s Hammer movies I’ve never re-watched as an adult.
For some reason my while I was typing this my imagination started to spin out a spoken protocol where the Domme is only spoken of as She and Her by the slave. Never actually allowed to address her as Goddess, Mistress, Lady or even M’am.

The novel (which is just “She”) is indeed very clunky. A period piece.
But then, so is Dracula. And I’m glad to have read them both.
Never seen the film; I thought I wanted to see the Andress but apparently the Helen Gahagan version has echoes of King Kong in it…which sounds appealing.

Drives me BUGFUCK… as I wrote about in my own entry: http://blog.jonnay.net/archives/577-BDSM-KaNdY-Kkid-l33t-sp33k.html
But that is just one of my cranky pet peeves really.

I find W/w annoying to read when people write about their relationship. I’ve never become habituated to.
I think I first encountered it when I was trying to meet Dom(mes) online. Having some stranger convert my name to lower case and capitalize every reference to Himself seemed presumptuous.
I know that Mistress Kika and spirit don’t push it as the only proper way, just how they write about each other.
