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.
As we've talked about, one of my former girls did wear a dog collar on occasion. It's wrong for you but it fit her needs. Another wore a pearl-drop necklace. A third a ribbon. Because you are at last starting to explore these things, it's time to tell you a secret about this life: The more delicate the collar the more complete the submission. For the ribbon girl, her collar feels like a leaden chain. And she loves it. But It took us a long time to get there.
So let's look at you. You are elegant. You are nearly at the top of the game, professionally. You are enchanting, and charming and able to hold your own in polite society or in a bar. It would never even occur to most of your friends and family that you are this dark and complex. And this is all to the good, to your credit.
But you have particularly dark fantasies we need to discuss. We will see how many women out there share them. I know this may feel embarrassing for you but you need to go through it. Later, when you wear your collar for the first time, you will do so alone. You will put it on and tighten it around your neck and masturbate while you admit all your fantasies to yourself. The ones about rape. The ones about your friend. The one about...all of them.
For the purposes of this letter, I will mention only the legal ones. If anyone wants to learn more, she can ask.
