I've always understood it as going both ways. Someone you call your own, they also get to have you as their own. I'm all yours, and you're all mine. I've viewed it as a way of expressing desire and commitment.

Exactly. We're in a monogamous relationship and have made legal and spiritual contracts to be faithful with eachother, so it's fair for my SO and I to "own" each other in a sense. That doesn't mean we get to tell each other what to do, it just means we have an expectation that they won't go looking for an outside relationship.

It's like saying "my gym," I have a contract that states I can use their facilities. I don't own that gym, but I do have a certain level of expectations.
