Wow, I get wrapped up in work/kids for a few days and the thread explodes! That was a great article Jadz! And thank you for the congrats. i8 doesn't seem to need much training, he's a natural at being a Dom.
As for what my collar signifies to me...I wear a collar of consideration - like an engagement ring. He asked me if I would accept his collar and be his submissive and I said yes, and he put the collar on me. (Ok, it was a little more elaborate and romantic than that but I have to run out the door to buy soccer cleats in a minute).
I have a necklace that I wear all the time, and a leather collar that I wear when I see him. It signifies that we are together, as a couple in a committed relationship, that he will care for me, and respect me, and teach me, and that I will care for him, respect him, and obey him.
We don't play (engage in BDSM activties) with others at the moment, but we have discussed it. We barely have enough time to see each other as it is!
One of the reasons I accepted Sir's collar was that he is interested in exploring the whole breadth of D/s - not just the play, not just control, but working at incorporating it into a loving caring relationship, in which we both function as equals and grow together.
