Your Collar, Your Commitment
In this chapter, we’ve discussed the various types of commitments that can be
made by anyone who might be considering entering into a D/s relationship. We
cannot stress enough the fact that no two relationships are alike, and any attempt
to force your existing or potential relationship into a cookie-cutter D/s
relationship mold will likely result in a great deal of heartache for everyone
concerned. The one-size-fits-all slave contracts that litter the internet as
downloadable forms generally aren’t worth a damn.
This lifestyle is full of people who will try to define your relationship dynamic
according to their world-view or try to make your collar conform to their own
notions concerning such things. Don’t buy into their delusions, and don’t allow
them to project either their naïve optimism or their gloomy cynicism onto your
symbol, your collar, or your relationship dynamic.
Beware of those who would preach of a “One True Way,” as no such thing
exists, nor should it.
