What is a title?
 
At the moment, as you would have read from my introductory post, I am a holder of the "girlfriend" title.
 
Sometimes I wonder why it is that I strive, and desire so much, to be called my boyfriend's sub or, in my dream world, his slave?
 
Is it perhaps that I feel that only then will I fill all of his desires? Is it that then, I will feel that I will have the chance to fill a role in his life that few others have been able to?
 
We play a lot in our relationship anyway. There are many things that I can't do without first asking permission. There are things that I wouldn't do, because I know that it would displease him. There are many things that I do do, that I only enjoy because they bring him pleasure.
 
He has wrist restraints (though they don't belong to me, and are by no means a form of collar), and I find myself sleeping in them when I have had a bad day. They provide me comfort and remind me that I matter very much to someone very special.
 
He is the person that I turn to when I need advice, and I know that he will always tell me what he thinks will be best for me. I can tell him anything, and I do. I know that even if I tell him something that he doesn't agree with, he will be happier that I have been honest and open, and looked for his opinion.
 
Does the title matter?
 
Or is it the actions, and the dynamic of the relationship that is of the most importance?
 
I ask lots of questions, you will get used to that, should you continue reading.

    I used to believe the title was very important until recently.  Now I realise it is a mindset.  If it is in your actions, your heart, your mind and the lifestyle you lead, then you are a sub or slave no matter what you or anyone else actually calls you.

    From what you have described you are truly his sub and having the title 'girlfriend' too does not change that :-)  I have read a few stories on other sites (Submission, BDSM and Dominance) where a true slave was also a wife.  She holds both titles as do you.

    Hope that helps a little

    I thought at one time titles were very important also. Learning a different way of thinking has enhanced my thinking. I do not call my Dominant Sir. Nor anyone else in my community. Actually having to use that makes me extremely uneasy. I will though call someone I do not respect Sir or Mistress Silver because to me it is just a name. Actions speak louder and I will go out of my to show my respect. That is all I can do and am very happy with my way of thinking. I have discussed it with my Dominant and my reasons why and that is all that is important. I know who I am and my Dominant is my Dominant. As long as those too things are communicated, then I am a happy girl.

    Both of your replies made me feel better on a day where I have found myself feeling very average.
     
    Thank you.

    I needed to add something to my last post. Mistress Silver is a pillar in our community and I think that is why her name popped up in my post. I did not even realize it until I read it again.
     
    My deepest apology to Mistress Silver for my regretful typo and who I have the highest respect for.

    In my opinion, titles aren't all that important. But it depends who gives you the title.
     
    We've never really discussed titles outright, I consider myself to be His sub, He considers me to be His sub (I think lol), but we never sat down one day and talked about upgrading my title from girlfriend to sub.
     
    He still introduces me to others as his girlfriend, except in certain very special occasions.
     
    But, having said that, if your boyfriend is a Dom and specifically tells you that you are his girlfriend and not his sub, then maybe the title means something to him, which is why he won't let you use it. It would be interesting to know the basis of why he won't let you use that title? Or maybe he just doesn't like it's ring? Just a thought, as a title is a title and if the "upgrade" doesn't change the dynamics of your relationship, why should a different title matter.
     
    But on the other hand, I totally understand where you're coming from, as he's probably had a lot more "girlfriends" than he's had "subs", so to be considered the latter could, and perhaps should, make you feel more special and part of a more elite club.

    BS - that's exactally right! While he does treat me as his sub, there's something about the whole, you're different from all the other "girlfriends" thing.
    I've spoken to him about this, of course, and he's told me that he is just waiting for the right time.
    Which makes it so much more special, and worth the wait.
    Thanks for the comments!

A question for discussion.......
Well...the last post was just me rambling and lamenting a bit.

Thanks everyone for your comments and suggestions. I like the idea of a supportive community.

But I wasn't really clear about what my goal is with submission. W...
