Hi, love-
I just wanted to give you the update: I've chosen your collar. I know you've been anxious about it all. It's understandable. I want you to know I've made the proper decision. I highly doubt you're going to like it at first but in time you will be overjoyed. Once you read through this I want you to go away and think about it all. You're the one who asked me to publish this letter. It isn't my choice but I respect your rationale. So think carefully about everything and come back when you are ready.
I have chosen your collar. Your collar is my belt.
As you know, I've had relationships with submissive women before. Some are very brazen in their needs, others, like you, are not. But each woman has had a different collar because I strongly believe that the collar has to fit the need. Get it right and you have a friend for life, trust me. The only way to do this is to take a bit of time and learn about the submission and all the fantasies and fears that circulate around it. That way, when a woman asks to have her collar put on, it's not just something particular to that relationship but to her herself. It's your collar, not mine.
It might help you get over your guilt to think of it as a uniform. I wear a suit and tie to work every day although I don't need to. I choose to because it allows me all kinds of advantages over those who don't. When you first saw me I was wearing a suit. When you first approached me, I was wearing a suit. And the first time I bent you over my desk and fucked you until you screamed, I was wearing a suit. So the connection is apt.
You also know in what disregard I hold most of the 'adult entertainment' industry. Frankly, it's just so desperately tacky. Fake leather and metal studs and silly zips and crotchless things. It makes me wince. A necktie is often the only thing you need, provided you know what you're doing. I wouldn't waste your time or mine asking you to put on any of that silliness.
But here's the rub. All subs must wear a collar from time to time. It's inviolable. Otherwise, you're just playing. And playing is fine, there's no reason why all kinds of people shouldn't explore these ideas. But they're not really subs. Real subs know who they are. They are women who, from time to time, need to submit. And I firmly believe each sub needs to understand who she is and accept it. This means wearing a collar when I decide.
