Thursday Question #43: Collaring Ceremonies

Every week there will be a BDSM question posed to readers here at BDSM is Love. Feel free to answer it as candidly as you’d like. If you’d like to participate in the discussion please leave a comment on this post, send me an email or post the response on your own blog!
Did you have a ceremony for your collaring? What was it like?
If you are planning to be collared or even just dream of it, what would it be like?


















Luna, honey, you do have timing.
I’ve been wearing a play collar for a while now. He gave it to me as part of a game: “Right hand or left hand” and I’d have to accept the consequences of whichever I picked. I lucked out and got a lovely macramé hemp collar.
Whenever we’d reach the end of our time and he’d take it off of me, we’d both be deeply upset. We’ve been talking about a more permanent collar for a while, and just tonight he told me that he chosen his collar for me.
There is a big national event here next week; Thunder in the Mountains. I’ve dreamed that he would collar me there, where the entire community can see. Because it’s us, there would be rope: my wrists and ankles cuffed as I crawl to him, maybe.
I want there to be words, but I don’t know what they should be. We’ve talked about that this new collar would mean to us. How much of that will be made public I don’t know. How many of our promises, of the subjugations of this new station, would he want the world to know? I want this to be the first act of a long scene. I want to accept his collar, then his beating. I want him to try something painful that has always been too scary for me, to reinforce the point that I am now his.

We did have a collaring ceremony, although it was simple, between the two of us. Basically Master tied me up and made me struggle over to get his collar and bring it back (and believe me, I was *really* well tied up, and it was *really* difficult). The he placed it and locked it around my neck while I was still bound.
He unbound me and had me serve and pleasure him before we made love (and it was absolutely wonderful!). Afterwards he put the key before me and told me to remove it. I pleaded with him to have it remain on me but he was insistent. I removed it, kissed it, and gave it back.
He then held it out, asking if I wanted it back (of course I did!). He made me pledge to serve and honor him while I wore it and then placed it back on me, this time while I was unbound.
It may not sound like much (and I have left out a lot of the details), but it was very erotic for us, bringing all of the things that had been important in our play (and continue to be important) together in a very ritualistic fashion.
I have not had the collar off since then, and it’s been over a year.
To answer your second question, I’ve dreamed of being collared for years, ever since I discovered this lifestyle, much the way most girls dream of getting married. I’ve had several Doms ask, but not until Master did I ever even consider saying “yes.” And it was so easy to answer in the affirmative to him!

Yes we did, we were at a fetish BBQ a few summers ago, and we got everyone together and announced it, not anything really that fancy just him putting it on me and a few congrats…it was a very special day though
