C is for Collar

[Guest020109]

OK i am curious does any one have a collar? do you wear it in public or only in the own privacy of your own home? Can you tell it's a BDSM collar or does it look like a every day collar/necklace? i wanna get one but i have these questions and wanna see what people say.

[Guest020109]

A collar can be anything from ring, anklet, to necklace. There are dress collars, work collars, play collars. I personally believe that a collared sub should have several so that she can be outside with family, friends or business people without having to explain why she is wearing a dog collar.

I have 2 for minx at this time and more will be on the way. It isn't to advertise who we are that she wears one it is so that she knows who owns her.

Think of a collar as the equivalent of a ring.

Some have meaning. Some are merely for decoration (or play).

And those that have meaning... the meaning is as various as the participants.

From friendship rings to going steady to being engaged to marriage bands.

ok now i know. Master saids i have to earn my collar,lol

[icey]

mine is a stainless steel padlocked collar which i have worn 24/7 for over 3 yrs ive had a few comments but no-one i know seems to be aware of what it is or what it stands for they just think its a strange piece of jewellery lol.

i also have the wrist and ankle shackles which i wear more often than not,these are very noticable and ive had people tell me how ugly and bulky they are! but again they dont recognise what they are even though they've made the odd joke about slaves and chains lol

i dont flaunt anything our r/ship is our buisness but Icehawk insists i wear my collar all the time and i am very proud to wear it and we wont let others dictate what i should or shouldnt wear around my neck .

This isn't uncommon.

[Guest020109]

i know i will earn it with respect

I have two collars. One is the typical studded black leather collar that I wear during play. Then the other one is stainless steel with a padlock that I wear 24/7. A few people I know understand what it means. But for vanilla people who ask I just tell them that it's a choker. It's easier to do that then to try to explain what it means. I live in the Bible Belt and there are too many straight-laced, conservative types here who don't think that sex should be anything but in the dark, missionary position style sex, so since I know I cannot change their way of thinking, I just let them think that it's just a piece of jewelry I wear.

[Guest020109]

Mr Dom do you have a pictures of this collar, i would like to see it.

[boundbyu]

The first time was owned I had a anklet with little bells on it that I wore 24/7 Master always wanted to wher I was

[silver9]

I don't think I could wear a collar myself all the time, I would in play, but not 24/7
I think that's just me though; maybe it's because I'm new to all this though.
My appearance and looks are too important to me and I couldn't cope with being told what to wear or anything

[MrDom]

here is the collar different color tho

he does right at the very end lmao


My collar is a 24/7 one. It is a fine gold chain which sits tight around my neck. I ahve had a couple of comments over the last 2 years as to why it is so tight fitting... I just say I prefer them that way lol.
I also have a matching anklet which was made from the original chain.

[Guest020109]

ohh i like that Mr Dom. when i earn my collar i am going to wear it 24/7. Hopefully its going to look like a normal choker. I am very excited about getting it. When i do get it i will put up pictures.

[Naomisagoodgirl]

I have a pretty "play" collar that is leather with little dangley things. Although I call it my play collar because I don't wear it all the time, it is very important to me and my master did not give it to me lightly. My second collar is a ring that I wear all the time. It says "good girl" on the inside. Whenever I feel tired or discouraged I take it off and read the inscription, and remember that I am Sir's and he loves me and that really, I can be good if I try.

[MrDom]

HisandHisonly yes it looks good most don't know what it is. it is 5/16 stainlesssteel and it has weight my girl loves weraing it

this is driving me crazy i wanna earn my collar so bad!, he is teasing me, he mentions it and then when i ask when i get it he saids you must earn it....my neck feels so bare

A collar is a privilage, it must be earned. Sure it is driving you crazy, but a little humility and humbleness wouldn't go astray. Perhaps your neck feels bare, that is just for aesthetics a physical mark that you want to feel. I find begging for a collar, even if your Master jokes about it, doesn't really show what a collar really entails. I suppose each couple have their own rituals and meanings to what a collar means. Each to their own though.

Earning my collar made my soul feel complete, made me realise that it is a privilage and an honour that my Master felt that I was worthy enough to belong to him.

Exclusivity for us wasn't an issue as in our eyes there wasn't a need for a collar for that purpose. Yes I was tested in various ways to prove and show my commitment and honour to my Master - the collar seemed to be a natural progression to set our commitment to eachother in stone.

It is such an amazing feeling and I wish you well in making that next step with your Master. My collar is a gold chain with a hollow gold heart - stencil like. Every year Master gives me an additional charm to add to the necklace. In June I will have three.

In time we might make it into a bracelet with the charms in order, but even then my collar necklace and heart will remain. I have never taken off that necklace since he collared me, and there would be hell to pay if anyone dared touch it. Can't help it, am possessive of it. It has become a significant symbol in my life and in my duty and honour in serving my Master. If everything else fails around me, my collar and commitment to my Master is unwavering - it is a reminder of being owned and loved and strengthened through my Master.

great post lilangel!! And truly, what meaning would a collar have if you didn't have to earn it and work hard for it. Just think of how wonderful it will be when that time finally comes. It will make all the effort and waiting worthwhile. And i do believe in a "play" collar, and a collar that can be worn at all times and never be removed. i know that when my time comes to receive a collar, i will be like lilangel and be VERY possessive of it. i will not want to remove it for any reason, hence the need for the play collar (because i do enjoy the feeling of a very wide leather collar). i just don't see me going for a parent-teacher conference or to work wearing one *smiles*

[slaveangel{HM}]

Neither would I. It is more than just a symbol or a piece of jewellary. Makes my soul warm when people compliment me on it, or when i am madly rushing about, I take a glance and remember what it means and what it represents. Lately, Master has noticed, that when I am nervous, or anxious about something, i twirl my fingers around the chain and fiddle with the heart, never really noticed it until he pointed it out. It's also a comfort thing.

[Guest020109]

so true lilangel so true. I do have to earn it, and show that i am worthy of a collar. I must be patient.

[slaveangel{HM}]

*smiles* You will get there in time HisandHisOnly. Just make sure it is what you really want, are you willing to gift your submission and honour to this Dom, and know that in return he will possess your mind and soul, and the other way around. Allow you to explore what you desire and need. Yes I know all this does take time and patience and trust, but in the Lifestyle you are always learning and growing as people and as partners - is he the one that you see yourself doing this with? Let us know how you progress.
