Men never listen

HYSTERICAL...if you are at work, cover your mouth, you WILL laugh out loud!!

In a Chicago Hospital , a gentleman had made several attempts to get into the men's restroom, but it had always been occupied.

A nurse noticed his predicament.
Sir, she said "You may use the ladies room if you promise not to touch any of the buttons on the wall."
He did what he needed to, and as he sat there he noticed the buttons he had promised not to touch.
Each button was identified by letters: WW , WA , PP20 and a red one labeled ATR..
Who would know if he touched them? ;
He couldn't resist.. He pushed WW. Warm water was sprayed gently upon his bottom.
What a nice feeling, he thought.
Men's restrooms don't have nice things like this.
Anticipating greater pleasure, he pushed the WA button. Warm air replaced the warm water, gently drying his underside.

When this stopped, he pushed the PP button. A large powder puff caressed his bottom adding a fragile scent of spring flower to this unbelievable pleasure. The ladies restroom was more than a restroom,
it is tender loving pleasure.

When the powder puff completed its pleasure, he couldn't wait to push the ATR button which he knew would be supreme ecstasy.

Next thing he knew he opened his eyes, he was in a hospital bed, and a nurse was staring down at him.

"What happened?" he exclaimed. "The last thing I remember was pushing the ATR button."

"The button ATR is an Automatic Tampon Remover. Your penis is under your pillow."

MEN NEVER LISTEN

Hope

Hope
by Brian Quinn



When all about you is black with gloom,
And all you feel is pending doom.
When your bones are racked with grim despair -
When every breath is a gasp for air.
Keep on going, though you need to grope,
For around the bend is a ray of hope.

A ray of hope is perhaps all that's left,
As your will to live has been bereft.
You've lost it all, it's just no use!
You can end it all, you need no excuse.
But throw away that piece of rope,
And give yourself a chance of hope.

Just give yourself another day,
Brushing aside what your thoughts may say.
This is your life and you can make a new start,
By ignoring the brain - just follow the heart.
Taking baby steps in order to cope,
And minute by minute you'll build on your hope.

Build on your hope,. one day at a time,
Though the road be steep and hard to climb.
The hurts of the past - they should be dead.
The fears of the future are all in your head.
Just live in the present and refuse to mope
Your life will sparkle for you're living in hope.

Two Snowflakes

A friend sent this to me...

TWO SNOWFLAKES

Two snowflakes met within a cloud
In mists of winter's space
He, a flake of icy white
And she, a star of lace

The cloud was heavy, winds were strong
In dark mid-winter night
Then both held hands and tried to
Stay together in the flight

Then tumbling down they lost their grip
He kept in sight her face
He said, I'll find you on the ground,
My crystal star of lace

In dawning hour the sun arose
The flake looked near and far
Rising with each whispering wisp
To find his crystal star

And there she was, lit by the sun
So delicate and clear
Among the millions, only one
He wanted to be near

Then children came outside to play
To build a man of snow
She said this is the end for us
For I have got to go

They wrapped her in a ball of snow
Which then became a face
She sparkled in the morning light
This crystal star of lace

He too was packed into the cheek
And both remained for days
She said what will become of us
In sun's now warming rays

He said the sun will melt us both
And to the ground we'll fall
But I will not forget your face,
The brightest star of all

I'll follow you to nearby streams
And into rivers flow
I'll follow you into the sea
Wherever you may go

One day we'll rise together in
the haze of summer heat
And somewhere in a cloud of white
The two of us will meet

The winds will send us onward
To the place of winter storm
You'll form into a crystal star
With frozen heart so warm

Above the January earth
In gatherings of mist
I'll find you there, my star of lace
Just waiting to be kissed

TPE Total Power Exchange

I found this artical on (Yes Master BDsm Resource Site)



TPE/APE - Nov 12 2004
Thoughts
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have been trying for days to organize and write my thoughts on TPE (Total Power Exchange) and APE (Absolute Power Exchange). There have been many debates transpiring lately on the mailing list and message boards and even others journals that have brought these two together. I found a definition of TPE from the book Screw the Roses Give me the Thorns and it states “TPE is the empowerment of the Dominant BY the submissive's surrender to His/Her control. The power exchange is consensual and should be well negotiated. The depth of power yielded by the submissive is equal to the level of responsibility assumed by the Dominant.”

I immediately read this and went “How can this be Total?” Total is defined as “The whole amount, constituting the full quantity or extent; complete; "an entire town devastated by an earthquake"; "gave full attention"; "a total failure, including everything; "the overall cost"; "the total amount owed", without conditions or limitations, complete in extent or degree and in every particular” I think you get the idea. The definition of total is very straightforward. It encompasses everything, all of it. Yet the definition from a very well written book, and from numerous websites imply that this TPE is dependent upon how much power the Master wants and how much power the consensual slave is willing to give. Is this not with conditions and limitations and a complete and utter contradiction of the definition of “total.”

Absolute Power exchange was a little more difficult to define but I did look up definitions for the word “Absolute.” Something that is conceived to be absolute; something that does not depends on anything else and is beyond human control; "no mortal being can influence the absolute” perfect or complete or pure; "absolute loyalty"; "absolute silence"; "absolute truth"; complete and without restriction or qualification: not limited by law; without conditions or limitations; any belief, doctrine, concept or idea that is regarded as complete unto itself and therefore subject to no exterior circumstance or condition; Complete and without conditions.” Once again the definition is pretty straightforward and I believe even more rigid in a BDSM sense then the term “total” and unrealistic. Unattainable. One common flaw amongst all of us, be it Master/Dom, sub/slave is that we are human, and we are not perfect. Hence nothing we do will ever be “absolute.”

From here I have read numerous websites, which posted their opinions on it. Many subs/slaves wrote, “we strive for TPE/APE, I desire to be a TPE/APE slave, my goal is to be a TPE/APE slave.” Instead of reaching for unattainable goals, why not set realistic goals suitable for the relationship you’re in. We are told over and over again when planning our lives or trying to make that all important career move, to never set the bar “too high” for if you can’t reach that bar and meet those goals, then frustration, and eventually failure will set in. A Master/slave relationship is unique to each party involved and no website or definition should be the driving force in what sets your goals. You would never set your goals too high in your career or education so why set it too high for the most important part of your life…your relationship.

Another couple of websites really disturbed me with their remarks. Stating things such as “unhealthy, signs of lack of self esteem and self confident, total bullshit.” And this too disturbed me for no one; regardless of whom it is has any right to imply that another person has no self esteem or self confident. I am a consensual slave; our relationship is probably among the few whom can say they are together 99.9 percent of the time. I do believe, we are about as much a TPE/APE (per the BDSM definition) as a relationship can get. And I, in no way, lack any self-confident or self-esteem, if Master held a knife to my throat, I would not flinch, not because of fear, not because of lack of self-confident or self-esteem, but more because I am confident. I am confident that He would never ever injure me. Our relationship is neither absolute nor total, we are human, with conditions and limitations, be it vanilla society, our health, sheesh even old age! Yes I am always His slave but I am not perfect, He is not perfect, character flaw I guess.

Ok so that’s still not enough and you want to strive for TPE/APE. The first thing is, quit your job, both of you. How can you be apart from each other 8 to 10 hours a day and be a TPE/APE relationship? This is not possible. You are driving to work; driving in itself is a responsibility and gives you, the slave, control. You decided which route to take to work; you decide which radio station to listen to. You get to work, and yes you have control, every position has control and responsibility, hence how can you be a TPE/APE slave if you or Him works. It’s not possible. And how can He work and leave you at home, once again you have some level of control, some level of power, there is conditions and limitations placed upon your TPE/APE relationship, one being work. Yes it is feasible to both quit your jobs and stay at home and work. Yes it can be “real.” Master and I do it and so can any other person on this planet do it. But that still doesn’t make us or you TPE/APE as per the modern day society’s definition.

So you quit both jobs. Now what in this search for a TPE/APE relationship? Honestly I do not know. In my opinion in order to have a TPE/APE relationship the two of you have to be together, always. You as a slave are never allowed to make any decision, that is power, power is control. Essentially to be TPE/APE one would have to leash the slave and drag them around where ever the Master went. All decisions would be the Masters. She just exists. No more, no thought, no opinion. There would be no outside interference such as grocery shopping or the cable coming to the home and there would be no limitations such as me having MS, and don’t even think about getting old!

Yes, I do not understand this infatuation with TPE/APE and why we have to place such strict labels upon it. You can sit there and say, it is mental but anyone with any education and knowledge will ask you how can it be “absolute” when absolute implies perfect. The BDSM Community needs to stop manipulating words for their own benefit. We have the right to live as we desire but not the right to re-write the English language to suite our needs.

Master and I do not like labels, when the BDSM Community calls for us to place a label upon our relationship we call it TPE. That is something we rarely do and rarely define us as doing. We are Master and consensual slave; we have chosen a lifestyle that few could do. We are not TPE/APE for we are human, definite character flaws to being TPE/APE. I honestly am not sure if any word or definition would suite our relationship, other then believing in each other and satisfying each other’s needs regardless of what the BDSM groups think, or the vanilla society thinks. I am His always and I don’t need to strive for TPE or APE, I only need to strive to please Him and to learn how to keep Him happy.

Submissive Creed

I will communicate with complete honesty my needs, desires, limits, and experience. I realize that failing to do so will not only prevent my Master and I from having the best experience possible, but can also lead to physical and emotional harm. I will not try to manipulate my Master. I will not push to make a scene go the way I feel it should. I will keep an open mind about trying things that I am not accustomed to or comfortable with and expanding my limits. I will continue to grow as a submissive and as a human being. I will accept the responsibility of discovering what pleases my Master, and will do my best to fulfill His wishes and desires. I will not allow myself to be harmed or abused, I know that submissive does not equal "doormat".

I will be courteous and helpful to my fellow submissives, I will share my knowledge and experiences with others in the hope that they will learn from where I have been I will take the time to help those new to the scene start out on the correct path.

I will be responsive to my Master, I will not try to hide what my mind and body are feeling so that I may assist Him in His responsibilities as my Authority, I know that Dominants are not telepathists, and will not expect my Master to know thought or feelings which I do not share.

I will never think myself a "better" submissive because I choose to submit on a different level than another. I will not be boastful of experiences I have had as a sub. I know that my actions reflect upon my Master, and will do my best to help others see him in a positive way. I will not intentionally embarrass or displease my Master.

Above all, I will wear my title of submissive with honor. I will never cause others to think that being submissive means to be weak or sub~human. I will take pride in who and what I am, and will never show myself in a negative way.

A Master's Prayer

My Last Submissive. A Master's Prayer?


My next Sub will be my last. She will be as devoted to me as I am to her. She will trust in my loyalty and my judgement. She will feel safe in my presence and still feel my protection in my absence. She will never mistake sensitivity and caring for weakness.

She will share her problems with me. Not in an attempt to have me take them off her shoulders but as a pupil sharing with a tutor. She will take as much joy in learning from me as I take in teaching. She will take pride in the way that people respect my opinion. She will feel such pleasure when her friends consult me for advice. She will know that I will take responsibility for their welfare too. She will take pleasure in my pride of her too. As she goes about her duties at home or work, she will feel my eyes on her approving her intelligence and diligence. She will await eagerly the opportunity to share her triumphs with me and will revel in the feeling of my proud arms as they wrap around her.

She will recognise that the physical manifestation of my need for her will take the form of sex; but she will know that it is her I need rather than the sex. She will know that our erotic explorations are simply explorations of each other. She will see my need for her at the most inappropriate times and revel in the warmth of that; knowing as she does that I would do nothing to damage her standing with friends, family or colleagues. She will find it as exciting to be always available to my lust as I do in knowing it to be so. She will take so much pleasure in my need that it will be her constant preoccupation to inspire even more need. She will find the joy of my response to her imaginative stimulation enthralling. She will use everything at her disposal, including other men and women to take my need to greater heights.

Though sometimes coloured by fear, her eagerness to see how I intend to stretch her limits once more, will know no bounds. Her anticipation will be liquid and speed her back to our home. For all her obedience and devotion she will be demanding. I will feel challenged to satisfy all her needs and she will recognise the achievement when it is done. She will know that no other could satisfy her so. Though, mischievously, she will identify anyone that has the appearance of being able to and taunt me with how eager she is to make them to attempt to do so.

She will be totally open with me and neither hide or filter any thoughts, feelings, responses or actions from me. She will do so, safe in the knowledge that while I can be assured of her candour, I will never judge her. Only those thoughts and actions that she tries not to share will be considered transgressions. She will know and understand that outside of those activities that I have specifically directed her in, she has total freedom and will exercise that freedom with alacrity, never suppressing any desire or impulse. She will know that this license in no way reduces her right to exclusive access to my heart and desire.

She will know that I love her dearly and will return that depth of feeling. She will have no more choice in this than I do. She will be in my power and I in hers. We each will be besotted with the core of the other and this will transcend any other attraction. This joy will last me the rest of my life.

Slave’s Prayer

Allow me the Serenity to serve Him in peace

Allow me the Love to show Him myself

Allow me the Tenderness to comfort Him

Allow me the Light to show us the way

Allow me the Wisdom to be an asset to Him

Let me be able to show Him each day my love of service to Him

Let me open myself up to completely belong to Him

Let me accept my punishments with grace

Let me learn to please Him beyond myself

Grant me the power to give myself to Him completely

Give me the strength to please us both

Permit me to love myself in loving Him
