smoking, financial domination, abusive relationships

i am a 46 year old male submissive. i first acknowledged my submissive nature in my late thirties when i took a postal slave training course with a lifestyle Domme. Although it was not exactly what i was looking for, it led to some valuable on-line meetings and discussion and eventually to 6 months r/t servitude to an Asian American Lady who taught me a great deal. i am currently enslaved to a former work colleague, A., who is naturally dominant but until recently had no real experience of bdsm. My owner is married and does not practice bdsm with Her husband. We/we do not live together. She too is of Asian (Indian) origin and is beautiful, wise and endlessly fascinating. Since becoming Hers, i am only looking to socialise and exchange ideas on-line, as well as using my blog to express my thoughts and feelings about Our/our relationship. My Commitments to A i will submit to Her will at all times and in all things; i will consult Her on all key decisions affecting my life and i will abide by Her judgement without exception; i accept Her right to intervene in all or any aspect of my life (including financial matters) and I will abide by Her decisions in such matters. i will focus on identifying and satisfying Her needs and desires and place them before my own; i will devote my knowledge, skills, abilities and resources to Her happiness and well-being as She directs; i will follow any instructions She gives me and perform any service She requires of me to the best of my ability; If i feel that there is good reason why i should not do so, i will state it for Her consideration but if Her instructions are confirmed i will carry them out without attitude or argument; i will always (while exercising an appropriate degree of tact and discretion) be honest with Her, though i understand and accept that this may not enable me to avoid Her anger or punishment. i accept any punishment She chooses to impose for any wrongdoings or shortcomings with good grace (perceived wrongdoings and shortcomings are punishable as actual if perceived by Her); i will support Her in all things, even if W/we disagree; Where W/we disagree, i will proceed on the basis that She is right and I am wrong unless She decides otherwise; i will maintain a courteous and submissive demeanour toward Her at all times; i accept that sometimes She may wish to push the boundaries of my public submission and subject me to some mild humiliation and i agree to submit to this with good grace. i will never deny or try to hide my submissiveness to Her. i understand that no genital sex will ever take place between U/us and I will under no circumstances make any sexual advances toward Her. This includes attempting to kiss Her or initiate any intimate contact whatsoever without Her express permission. My mind and body are completely at Her disposal. i will respect Her marriage and not do anything which might undermine Her relationship with Her husband. i will not exhibit any jealous, sulky or attention-seeking behaviour. i will treat Her husband, daughter and all Her other family members and friends with an appropriate level of respect and consideration; i will only engage in relationships with Her express approval. She has full control over the way such relationships are conducted. i will respect Her privacy and not divulge Her personal information without Her consent. i accept that it is Her prerogative to decide who may have my personal information. In Her absence, i will take instruction from Her daughter. paul
