i’d suggest it’s when the property can’t just walk away and that’s because they have no money and no property of their own and no other place to go. It’s directly proportional to the amount of dependence the property has on the Owner. For real ownership to be realised, the Owner/property relationship must move beyond mere consent and into dependence. If it’s a sub or slave, he/she must become property itself.
Consent that can be withdrawn at any time generally is. There’s no real ownership or even power in pandering just to consent. Consent is the initiator, and it’s often spoken about as if there’s only one universal form of it, but there are two very different kinds of consent: the consent to being used, treated in a certain manner with limits outlined and respected. This is extrinsic consent, the consenting to external power, treatment and influence. There is no dependence here: the sub or slave can withdraw consent to any particular treatment, which may or may not end in termination of the service or session.
But for ownership as property to be fully realised what a sub or slave also needs to consent to is internal imprisonment, having no independence of self, no immediate escape, for only then can real ownership and the Master’s real power begin. This is intrinsic consent and the dependence it creates is not so easy to withdraw from. Intrinsic consent is a lot more common than many realise. It exists in equal loving relationships, too. The partner who cheats and gets forgiven is often forgiven because the cheated partner can’t stop loving the cheat and doesn’t want to go through life without them. Intrinsic love, that person’s “heart”, we say, is holding that person prisoner to the cheat – when cheating is something you’d think was cast iron proof the love wasn’t equal – and if the cheated partner wasn’t in love, that person would be able to withdraw all extrinsic consent and walk away.
The Owner/property relationship model has a similar form of intrinsic consent which creates a deep psychological dependency, and from the Bible and the Roman Empire to the modern world, you guessed it, it’s achieved through physical and financial means:
Male property today may have a nest egg, one maintained by the Owner, savings, wages that are handed over to the Owner, but if the owned party can’t directly get to those funds, they are dependent and they are owned. They may have items that the Owner allows them to use, borrow or even ‘own’ (including any clothes that may be worn), but being fully owned property, in real terms, that’s all subject to his Owner’s approval at all times. The property may be kept indoors or only allowed to work from home with all movement monitored. He may be fed as and when the Master decides, even the use of a toilet or shower may be conditional on the slave’s submission and behaviour. Freedom of speech? Freedom of thought? They’re for equal independent humans, not intrinsically owned dependent property. If someone intrinsically owned as property has them at all, it’s subject to the Owner’s approval or whims and moods.
If the saying that property can’t independently own property is true, then a person as property can’t own things and if that property needs certain items in order to function in certain capacities and the only source for those items is the Owner, then that property can consider itself dependent on that Owner, and when those things include the basics such as food, shelter, sleep, (going back to the basic animal ‘eat, shit, and sleep’ model) that person is truly owned down to the bear necessities of life.
I can’t imagine this being comfortable reading for many but we are talking about ownership here, of turning free people into property. So whatever the rights and wrongs are, we’re back at defining ownership as property in pecuniary/financial and possessed terms, which historically, in the Roman Empire and the Bible, is what it was all about.
Great when history goes full circle, isn’t it, Sir?
My first article on this blog coined the term “Bank of Ownership & Slavery” to solve a never-ending problem Masters face in finding real fully-ownable 24/7/365 live-in Male property. If you haven’t read it yet you may bulk even more wide-eyed reading this so here is the first article on this topic (there’s a link at the end of it back to this post so you won’t get lost).So, to recap: The problem is that the slave giving up so much individuality and freedom to live as someone else’s full-time live-in owned property has a financial cost that could prove very dear should things go wrong later on.But, as just an idea, what if you offered a slave an upfront amount to own him outright?The purchase money could be put into a savings account so the slave can’t touch it directly, and it can be used or start to be used as a nest egg, depending on how much it is, of course.
If it’s a small amount, just to cover loss of earnings during the initial probationary period of, say, six months, it’d need adding to, say, on a monthly basis should the slave pass the probation.
If it’s a large amount upfront, it probably won’t need adding to for a number of years.
In the first chapter of this ownership series, I stated that building a nest egg for ownership was the crucial factor in finding and keeping one who doesn’t work outside the home. Much is banded about today about Roman-style slavery but the crucial piece of the information that is conveniently overlooked today is that Roman Masters were (and still are in Italian today) called Patroni, meaning patrons or sponsors. Slavery always was economic and pecuniary in nature. It wasn’t just about Romans getting their dicks sucked as much of ‘slavery’ and ownership is today.
There’s another important reason this might be a good idea: it gives the Master a sense of real ownership. Just as we work for our daily bread so we can buy all the items we want to own, if slaves really are property, why should they be exempt from this pecuniary process? Not that I’m suggesting anyone break any local laws, but putting money in a savings account is hardly a criminal offence (well, with the base rate what it is, it might soon be).
Do people really value what they get for free? If you pay for something out of your hard-earned cash, do you not value it more than the local freebie that seems to be in constant supply?
How much the Master can afford to pay and is willing to pay and how much the owned slave is worth is between the Master and His prospective property, but a general guide is that the aim is always to build a nest egg to act as security should things go wrong (e.g. the Master dies) or not work out (e.g. the Master wants to dissolve ownership of His property).
We know the price of a loaf of bread and a pint of milk. We know prices for many things are likely to inflate over 10, 20, 30 years, you’ll know the yearly salary the slave is currently earning, so a simple spreadsheet should be suffice in calculating the nest egg.
Let’s take the Scrooge test and do a forecast for the savings account option:
If you saved £300 a month (probably at the high end) over 10 years, that would be a nest egg of £36,000 before interest. Over 20 years that would be £72,000.
That’s less than two years average salary for 10 years full ownership and less than four years average salary for 20 years of pure live-in servitude and ownership. Nowhere near enough for the slave to buy a roof over his head should the worst happen to the Master, but still sounds like a bargain to me.
That equates to putting away £3,600 a year – half the UK’s tax free personal allowance and within the limits of an ISA – and a tiny fraction of what most people earn. And it’s only a nest egg, not a monthly salary. If the slave dies first or You keep the slave, the money just becomes another savings account – a nest egg for both Master and slave in their old age.
I’m not saying it has to be £300 a month, this is just an example. It’s up to the Master to decide based on all the information and factors. £200 a month seems to be within most Masters’ capabilities, however, out of the ones who’ve discussed this with me.
Those who can’t think along these prudent lines should go get a dog or a cat or talking parrot. They cost on average £30 a month so 10 times cheaper than a slave and, on average, they live a lot less. But if it’s a fully owned live-in slave you want, i offer my inferior slave advice and suggest You do like the Roman Patroni.
Original German article by MasterMarc, November 2004
This English translation by me, December 2010
The M/s lifestyle is not a role-play for me because roles are the characters of others. For me, being a Master is a desire from within. Dominance is a character trait, it’s a part of me, and it has become of great importance to my life. Just as my dominance is a character trait of mine, so should submissiveness be a part of my slave’s character.
Submissives need to have the natural desire to serve, to hand over trustingly to another person the willingness to be subordinate, to practise obedience and take the consequences, to be inclined towards enduring degradation. Only then can our two diametrically opposed needs fit perfectly together like two pieces of a puzzle.
Indeed, a truly dominant person might never really understand a submissive person, since the needs of the submissive are so foreign to Him. Nevertheless, He needs to try to comprehend it because He is responsible for the well-being of all those involved. It is his job to see that everyone reaches their potential, that everyone’s needs are satisfied. This should not be too difficult since the needs and desires of both parties complement each other exactly. Thus, content, each one, by living up to his own inclination, meets the needs of the other. This applies as much to the Master as it does to the slave.
The M/s lifestyle, which is based on trust, and ideally in an M/s relationship, is one of the deepest and most intense inter-personal relations that can exist. It’s not love in a classic sense, but if you see love as an emotional sense of belonging, then it is an extreme form of love. There are few pledges of love where you surrender yourself wholeheartedly to another, and the other side takes on the responsibility beyond the norm.
Next to trust, the M/s lifestyle is based on mutual respect and recognition. Yes, even a Master needs to respect the slave, even when He often displays the opposite. The slave needs to be able to rely on the fact that the Master feels this respect deep inside. Only when, for safety reasons, the Master can put His slave’s well-being above His own desires can the slave let himself go and be absolutely ready to contribute every sinew of himself to making the Master happy.
I am often asked what it is that attracts me to dominance, what gives me the satisfaction. To find one answer for this is anything but simple, since this desire plays itself out on an extreme emotional level. After much consideration, I came to one answer that is anything but complete, but nevertheless comprises one of the chief motivations: It is satisfying to bestow upon someone the satisfaction they crave, a satisfaction they can only achieve through living according to their own nature.
It is a kind of service to the slave. I have enough confidence, security and warmth to give away which is what someone else is looking for. I love offering the tough leadership, humiliation, nastiness and consistency that he needs. By living my way I can offer my opposite number, the submissive, what satisfies his needs. As a master, I serve the slave by allowing him to serve me.
This definition for my joy of the M/s lifestyle rules out the possibility that it’s about power for me: I’ve got enough of that in my daily life. This should never be the motivator for this lifestyle. I myself love the responsibility, I am positively addicted to it. Of course the one with the responsibility is the one who has the authority, and so has the power. Yet, particularly in my professional life I live according to the saying: “A leader can’t rely on playing boss. It’s in the moments of unpopular decision-making that he proves his leadership.”
How is this view reflected in my M/s lifestyle? I am not a screaming Master. It’s mostly true that he who screams is wrong. Of course I can get pithily loud, but then my slave knows that in such situations resistance is the most stupid thing he can do. Also in my tone with the slave is verbal humiliation, yet this is mostly a calm tone, and is in its own way also decent. I can without cost to myself or feeling that I’ve lost a prong to my crown say “please” to a slave – as long as I know that the slave knows this is not a request, but a beautifully masked command. This way it is possible to live our M/s lifestyle outside the home among the people who can’t know about our special relationship. Granted, there are situations where public humiliation has its appeal, but this doesn’t have to be ubiquitous. If it becomes a rule it loses its effect. It is, as always, the job of the Master to deal with the different tools at his disposal in the right situational and masterly way.
These are my first condensed thoughts in writing on this topic. I could philosophise about it for hours. Thus one can certainly count on more to follow. Of course I am happy to receive feedback on my view as I would never claim that my view is objectively the right one, but it’s right for me at present. And isn’t that what’s most important?
Ihave recently been sharing with another sub. Part of our discussion was onpleasure. he feels that he should not get any pleasure from serving, it is allabout the Master’s pleasure, not ours. I disagreed. i feel our pleasure isimportant but different.
answer:
thisis a fantastic question and one i had to ponder a bit. for the most part, iagree with you rather than your friend. as a submissive and slave, we have toderive some kind of personal pleasure from our role or else we would not havebeen attracted to this lifestyle in the first place. whether it’s sexualexcitement, psychological stability, military-style structure or whatever, theslave receives some kind of personal incentive for serving a Master. that, tome, is the true beauty of a power-exchange relationship. by surrendering mylife over to Master, He receives the life and happiness that He deserves and i,in return, receive the peace and balance that i cannot otherwise achieve on myown without Him.
that’snot to say that we always get pleasure from the act itself. Master often asksme to do things that i don’t personally enjoy doing, but because i am doing itfor Him, i end up loving it. for example, the other week, Master had me cleanout dog shit from the grooves in the sole of his boot. that is not something,as an individual, that i even remotely enjoy. however, as His slave, i lovedperforming that action and was oddly touched that He would allow me to do sucha thing for Him. through surrender, we find bliss and, yes, even pleasure.
onthe other hand, however, there are many “subs” who serve only withinthe parameters of what will get them off. in this case, i agree with yourfriend. these “subs” are very common in scenes and play parties, butinstead of actually surrendering, they are merely turned on by the fantasy ofsurrendering. once the scene is over, they zip up and go. and, during thescene, if a Dom leads them into something unexpected and outside of what theyhave come to expect from their fantasy, they immediately snap out of their”sub” mindset because it is no longer the fantasy they want. i’veseen this several times. these types of “subs” pretend it’s about theDom but, in reality, control the scene and make sure it is always what theywant from it. therefore, they never reach a point of actual surrender. this isthe type of focus on personal pleasure that is unacceptable to me as a slaveand submissive. it should always be about the Dom and we, in return, find abeautiful existence through it.
You can read therest of the question and answer article here.
There’s a certain breed of Master out there who thinks being a slave is whatever they say it is, and if you do not accept their definition of slave: “you’re not a real slave”. This is classic manipulation, one many less experienced slaves find hard to respond to, but a form of manipulation used to defraud you of the right to consent to the particular kind of slavery that you are designed for.
A psychopath, see Hare’s checklist here, is a person who not only finds it extremely difficult to empathise with others, to see things from other people’s perspective, but also doesn’t want to. The world is divided into two: them and everyone else who aren’t ‘people with needs’ but ‘opportunities for exploitation’. They just don’t care about the rest of us.
You know when you meet a psychopath: unless you have something they need or want, they’re cold and aloof and won’t think twice about betraying or lying to you to get what they want. They are compulsive liars, whatever they’ve promised you will either not come true or will cost you dearly. If they show caring emotions, it’s a pretence.
Sociopath or Psychopath?
We find it hard to call a spade a spade and we often feel better when we project our good intentions onto others so it’s no surprise to find psychopathy alive and doing very well in society at large and even being downgraded to sociopathy or both terms being used interchangeably. Even among some psychologists there can be little distinction offered. Sociopathy is often portrayed as milder, less harmful to life, and psychopathy is a word that captures the public’s lust for blood and guts.
However, as psychologist Robert D. Hare says on p. 19 of his book Snakes In Suits: When Psychopaths Go To Work :
We find it hard to call a spade a spade and we often feel better when we project our good intentions onto others so it’s no surprise to find psychopathy alive and doing very well in society at large and even being downgraded to sociopathy or both terms being used interchangeably. Even among some psychologists there can be little distinction offered. Sociopathy is often portrayed as milder, less harmful to life, and psychopathy is a word that captures the public’s lust for blood and guts.
How many of us in our pursuit of fairplay among equals use sociopathy as a euphemism for what is clearly psychopathy? And the fact that we feel the need to sugar coat psychopathy explains – certainly from an evolutionary perspective – why it’s so successful and goes on largely undetected: we refuse to see the blindingly obvious about other people.
So taking the safety of the rose-tinted spectacles off for a moment, when you come across these angry or uncaring Masters it’s obvious by their complete disregard for you and everyone else that their motivation for control and power is not the symbiotic joy of serving someone by being served, or the joy of helping someone realise their true altruistic calling in life, or the joy of having the power to change and mould someone into being something better or more their true self. No, their motivation is just pure selfishness, selfish gain and selfish pleasure. How many criminal psychopaths justify their actions by blaming the victims, by saying they had it coming to them by being “so easily duped”? Make no mistake about it, if you come across a psychopath you are just one of many suckers and victims.
Here’s the danger of the psychopath’s still waters:
Because I’m programmed to be selfless, I can’t help finding such Masters attractive!! And this even though I realise such people are incapable of getting the best out of anyone, because you have to give to others in order to receive. I mean look at me, I haven’t put sociopathic Masters in inverted commas, I haven’t spelt Masters and its corresponding pronouns with small letters, and I’ve used the sociopath euphemism in the title. My altruistic nature, so crucial to what makes me a consenting slave, identifies them as real Masters!
Well…If a slave is to reach his full potential, indeed if a slave is to survive, he must either steer clear of such Masters – be they the ultimate temptation or not – or such a slave needs to know what he’s getting into and live with the consequences.
One key consequence is that a psychopathic Master can’t and doesn’t love you, He only sees you in terms of how useful you are to Him. And giving yourself to someone so completely and not being loved for it is deeply emotionally scarring, which, over time, becomes destructive if you fall in love with Him. If you thought unrequited love felt bad, you ain’t felt nothing yet!
Let’s outline the difference between a Master that’s good for a slave and one that is a sociopath or psychopath. A good Master is one who recognises that he is doing a slave a kindness, a service if you will, by allowing the slave to serve Him. He therefore often treats the slave with kindness and respect, expresses his joy, and even shows gratitude for a job well done. This feedback is massively important to a slave, it’s massively reassuring. Even a simple “good job” is enough to instruct the slave on what is pleasing to the Master, on what gives Him pleasure.
A psychopathic Master doesn’t care for kindness, He just wants the job done to His satisfaction and He’s already forgotten about the slave when He’s done absorbing the pleasure your hard work has created or provided. You get very little positive feedback of any verbal or emotional kind or you get it one minute and not the next, a proverbial blowing of hot and cold to manipulate you then drop you when He’s done. This only compounds your lack of self-esteem in making you feel useless and worthless – and no slave who gives his all and does everything for someone else is either of those – yet it’s a very effective psychological tool in getting you to give even more and become even more dependent on the psychopath in order to get some or any emotion out of Him: You become addicted to the abuse and desperate for even a drop of affection. Let’s face it, if we shared a penny each time we heard a Master refer to us as “worthless scum”, we’d need a Swiss Bank Account and non-domicile status, not John Gacy or Jeffrey Dahmer.
Still after expressing it like that I can’t question the validity of such Masters.
At the end of this post I link to an article on psychopathy and one paragraph of it says:
Recent Bond film Casino Royale didn't shy away from acknowledging Bond's psychopathic tendencies
The reasons we look up to these conscience impaired people are unclear. Most likely it has something to do with the confidence they exude, the ease they seem to feel in any situation—a trait that comes easily in someone essentially incapable of fear or anxiety. Maybe we’re easily suckered in by their natural glibness and charm. Or maybe on some level we envy the freedom they have, with no burden of conscience or emotion.

Sociopaths/psychopaths could very well be our last temptation if we altruistic trusting submissive types are not careful.

The imbalance in power is natural to a real Master and slave, and it’s more an effect and a product of consenting slavery than a cause of it.
But where does it come from?
Yes, Masters are dominant and slaves are submissive, words so cliché that rarely do people bother to type them past their first three letters, but where does ‘Dom’ and ‘sub’ come from? What are the origins of a Person wanting to own Male property?
In my last blog post I described how the imbalance in power is expressed, namely a symbiosis between Power (the Master) and its auxiliary (the slave).
I’ll expand on that in this post, citing possible origins of it and why the power in a truly round-the-clock Master/slave relationship can’t be equal.
So first, what a Master/slave relationship isn’t:
In most Western cultures today we’re taught equality and liberty: precious and noble ideals many have given their lives for. Any breaches of equality and liberty that are not agreed by the parties involved are an illegitimate use of power. This is the bedrock of democracy: We all get one equal vote in choosing our leaders, and once chosen, they get to rule for a fixed term provided they maintain a majority and exercise their power within certain agreed constraints.
In the Master/slave world and lifestyle, both parties consent to legitimise the exact opposite of equality and liberty, but why do we?
Thankfully it’s more interesting than “the slave wants what Master wants” 🙂
Consenting slaves who are born this way or develop a very deep need to be enslaved later on are servile by nature, and we also need and want and cherish direction/leadership. Put the two together and you have a slave that is essentially selfless. It’s then a question of how selfless the slave can be, for how long, and what’s a safe healthy level of selflessness to maintain over the long haul.
In this context, submission is all the little chores and acts and duties that the slave does for the Master, be it to please the Master, serve the Master, obey the Master or otherwise, as expressions of the slave’s need to be selfless. Now we don’t exactly get that meaning when we look the word submission up in a dictionary, do we? Here’s Google Dictionary on the word: submission.
So slavery starts internally with a need to serve, a need to be used and be useful, a need to be selfless, what evolutionary biologists call altruism. We can turn to evolution to understand why such a nature might be born into or develop within a person such that a person wants, of their own volition, to become someone’s enslaved and subjugated property at the expense of their own will, ego, and sense of independent self. We turn to the pack-animal nature of human kinship, community and sacrifice.
There was a time when human sacrifice in its most murderous form was believed to be a survival strategy. But what of the people being sacrificed? Many may have fought or tried to escape, but, as we see with suicide bombers today, indoctrination can recreate that horrific barbarity and turn it into mass-murder. It seems that given a certain indoctrination/brainwashing an extreme and deprave form of ‘sacrifice’ can be unleashed in the modern world, one that is done cowardly and contemptibly but one that is done willingly. Then there are brave and gallant examples of sacrifice where people have given their lives to save others, often complete strangers.
Might some of the sacrificial lambs of ancient times have given their lives willingly for what they believed or were taught to believe?
What greater example of selflessness is there than the ultimate sacrifice to save others? How could the group have survived if there weren’t individuals willing to make the ultimate sacrifice for the survival of others?
Of course I’m not advocating life-ending forms of sacrifice, but we can see where some of us might be genetically capable of great feats of sacrifice brought on by a deep and honourable sense of selflessness. Might those who seek real submission and consenting slavery be enacting an ancient genetic code from a time when such selflessness was crucial to kin cohesion and survival?
Yes, times have changed drastically where the rights of the individual are championed and protected and rightly so, but our genetics have hardly changed from when the first ape stood upright (we’re still approximately 95% identical to chimpanzees). Some of us still contain within ourselves the ability to be selfless to an extent beyond what modern society might expect of us. It is fate, destiny, survival, the environment and the genetic lottery that have made us, consenting slaves, what we are.
A consenting slave can be no more blamed for his/her nature any more than a heterosexual can be blamed for wanting to propagate the species.
This is something deep down inside the minds of consenting slaves and it needs an outlet, it needs to be expressed. But why?
The brain is a complex organ. Take sleep as perfect example: While our bodies spend up to 8 hours a day sleeping, our brains are busier than ever ‘defragmenting’, processing, filing, and coming to terms, often creating vivid 3D-like dreams in the process. Whatever our brains are up to in our sleep, one thing’s for certain, we all feel refreshed after a good night’s sleep because our brains have defragmented and rebooted.
Over in the Master/slave, Dom/sub, fetish lifestyle, although these are different aspects of this lifestyle, they all perform a similar function. Those of us “into” any one of these need them to a certain extent in order to feel refreshed, to find order and balance, to reboot, to release or exercise or liberate our true inner selves. These are just some of the beneficial effects of selflessness.
It’s then a question of how long for and to what extent we need these aspects.
Where else might selflessness and sacrifice be useful? At some point in any team effort there needs to be leadership to get things done, and getting things done correctly and successfully is crucial to survival either of the project or task or the self or the group. That leadership requires consenting subordination to the leader.
We have evolved to be at our best when we’re in one place doing one thing, and for some of us that ‘one place doing one thing’ is at the feet of a Master selflessly serving Him because survival of the kin would often require altruistic sacrifices from the few or inferior to save or progress the many or superior. The saying “behind every great man is an even greater woman” has a Master/slave equivalent: behind every great King is a flurry of selfless servants.
So what about Masters? Why do they seek to be Dom and to have power? There’s no easy way to say it because the negative connotations of the word create all kinds of misunderstandings but we are talking about a situation where opposites attract: Masters seek power and dominance because they are essentially selfish (but not necessarily in a bad way as I’ll explain).
Selfishness does not mean Masters don’t care about their property: Masters are often very possessive and protective of their belongings. It does not have to mean they don’t care about other people, but it does mean they want their slave to serve them and not the other way around. It does mean they want to own and prosper and win. It does mean they want to get ahead and not be left behind while others prosper. Lonesome selfishness may be limited in its effect but group selfishness, “Us Against The World”, is a vital ingredient to the survival of the kin. Vegetarians look away now: if there’s only one cow left standing in the field a Master wants it killed and eaten by Him and His kinship group. He doesn’t want to be the one left starving while some other Master is busy filling His chops.
A Master is a hunter/gatherer type of evolved ape and if He’s an intelligent ape He’ll know how to get the best out of His property to maximise His own chances of survival and progress (what in fetish terms today is often called ‘pleasure and comfort’). A slave is an additional pair of hands, an additional mind and body brought under the control of the Master. Used correctly a slave can be transformed from a piece of ass into an asset.
Why else are Masters often seen as bigger and stronger or wiser and more able than their slaves? Even in a purely fetish scenario a Master will act or sound or dress in such and such way and not in another way.
Masters and slaves look at the health of the body, the sanity and intelligence of the mind and the accumulation of wealth for signs of health and vitality just like everybody else for the same reasons as everybody else: survival.
Youth is prince of the jungle because younger usually means ‘longer to live’. Those not attracted to those much older than themselves are subconsciously applying the survival strategy that a large age gap means a greater chance of spending your retirement alone with either an urn to hold or a grave to visit. And if it’s hard to survive now, it’s a lot harder when we’re elderly, where group kinship becomes even more important to survival.
But a younger slave might be attracted to an older Master because age is the surest proof of ability to survive. What else is the father figure all about if it’s not for the experience of how best to survive on this cruel unstable planet? Let’s not forget we evolved at a time when we didn’t know why the ground shook, we didn’t know our planet was round or what the ‘fire in the sky’ was or why the weather would sometimes become ‘angry’ with us. Most people need leadership and guidance of one kind or another because we evolved on a planet and we still live on a planet where anything that can go wrong often will go wrong and at a time when we don’t have all the facts and info in order to make informed decisions. And informed decisions are vital to survival.
What further proof do we need that this is all to do with how our genes have evolved to survive?
We can now look to see how selflessness is balanced by selfishness. In exchange for a Master’s leadership, guidance, and protection, and for the greater chance of survival that ownership as a better Man’s property provides, a slave offers his selfless services. Both are content and fulfilled because we build a safe environment in which to live long and prosper. Again we find unity and leadership proving itself far more productive than division, discord, disagreement and disunity.
Are slaves selfless because our mothers breast-fed us too long or our mothers didn’t want us getting hurt in the playground so they only let us out dressed like American footballers, or are we servile and selfless because that’s our genetic gift and currency in persuading Masters to own and protect us so that in helping Them survive, we survive alongside Them?
Of course not all Masters and slaves are identically Dominant or submissive. Like many aspects of our nature it’s a spectrum of shades and variables. Some want total control and absolute power. Others knowing that such totals and absolutes require having or being a 24/7/365 slave which they can’t or don’t want to provide have to make do with some kind of less-than-total external ownership. Then there are the weekenders, the day-trippers, the 18-25s club ;), experiencing temporary allusions to our chequered evolutionary past.
You might now be thinking “Wait a minute! It’s not truly altruistic to give of yourself selflessly so that you can increase your own chances of survival”. How very clever you are! As physicists seem to be discovering there’s no such thing as perfection. Biologists are discovering there’s probably no such thing as pure altruism or pure selfishness. Often in biology selfishness very cleverly and even cunningly disguises itself as altruism.
Survival is a double-edged sword, a tight-rope we all have to work together in various ways in order to get to the other side. Marriage, love, friendship, companionship, competition, leadership, Dom/sub, equality are all methods of survival (yes, science does explain love perfectly).
Don’t like slave gene altruism? I’ll get the whip now, Sir 😉

First let me introduce you to Merlin, the greatest and most loyal servant of all time, the owned property of his Master, Prince Arthur:
Trust
We start here because without trust there are no Masters and slaves, it just doesn’t work or even exist.
There are those who think being a slave means being vulnerable, living in fear and danger, but these are far from the best slavish qualities, and counterproductive if a Master wants to get the best uses out of His property for the longest possible time. This is because any slave who is preoccupied with their own harm and their own demise isn’t really focused on the Master’s pleasure and comfort. A wise Master soon realises He’s the one being controlled and manipulated and no Master likes to be treated like a bitch.
So it’s surprising to some slaves to discover that it’s very often the Master who raises the issue of trust and is the one looking for trust. If Masters are to get Their way They soon learn They need the slave to trust them. They need to trust Their slaves as well because They need Their slaves to be reliable, productive and have access to all kinds of areas of Their Masterly lives, including Their life itself.
Because of the unequal exchange in power, trust keeps one from destroying the other.
Here’s Merlin and His Master Prince Arthur showing us how trust is done:
Love
If trust is the issue that Masters and slaves cannot exist without, love is the oxygen to the brain that Masters and slaves shouldn’t and can’t live without. It’s a very simple concept: some Masters can’t imagine this but did You know Your slave admires and worships You? He loves doing your ironing, polishing Your shoes and the high honour of fulfilling you sexually. For a real slave it’s all about making Your life more comfortable. You are the center of his world. Because he loves You. You fulfil him. You give his life meaning. You make his slavish life worth living. And he repays You in service, loyalty, love and worship.
Likewise, You love being the one in charge, and the object of worship. You love being served and waited on. You love the reliability, dedication, companionship, and devotion. You love being the center of someone else’s world. You love being someone else’s universe. You love the deep sense of trust. You love how he loves You. I could go on but in short You love Your property.
If You don’t love Your slave and property or he doesn’t love You, You’re both just going through the motions. Sure the ship may sail but it’s an empty cargo.
Of course there are also those who have been hurt in love so being in a more controlled situation is appealing. What these people need to remember is that love is always a risk. It’s like gambling: you never know what the outcome will be, but if you win, the prize is enormous and life-enhancing. And you have to be in it to win it.
Here’s the greatest servant of all Merlin serving his Master out of love :
Liberation
Doing things most people wouldn’t. Doing things taboo or weird. Becoming someone else. Becoming your true self. Letting go of all that goes on in the big wide world. Being isolated. Being different. Lifting the mask and being at peace with yourself. Feeling safe and accepted for who you are.
One of the greatest paradoxes of life is that giving ourselves to someone else willingly, being owned and controlled by another is a cathartic experience of liberation! This is why kink and fetish are the mainstay for so many. Fetish is an expression of being liberated from society’s “norms”. But it serves a greater purpose than that.
We’re all fed society’s “norms” as if everybody were Catholic, male, and oblong. But we’re not. For the “norms” of society to be healthy they need the pressure valves that are at its fringes.
Many describe a sense of boredom with the vanilla “norm” without realising that their escape to society’s fringes are a public service in itself. Master X gives slave Y direction. Slave Y gives Master X freedom from the mundane and menial so He can be more focused and productive. Master X moves forward in His career, makes more money, provides for Himself and His property.
By taking ownership of a slave and making the slave His property, a Master is liberating the slave from the demands of the outside world, a world where the slave doesn’t really belong.
Where is society harmed in that exchange?
Compare it to slave Z who couldn’t find a Master in a society that stringently forbids it and slave Z drifts without a captain. Low paid jobs, no real interest in the society around him, or unable to interact with it alone. Master W can’t risk finding a slave so His thought processes are constantly interrupted by things He was supposed to have a lowly slave do, He’s denied His birth right.
You’re probably missing Merlin and his Master Prince Arthur by now so here’s another instalment of Merlin’s ownership, Prince Arthur’s birth right. If society can’t or won’t understand then it’s Us Against The World:
Oneness
The unit or unity of one, the Unimatrix: sometimes the closeness a slave and Master feel, be it sexually or in terms of ownership and obedience, it’s as if the slave has been absorbed by the Master, as if the slave has become a part of the Master. This oneness is hard to find and even harder to match elsewhere. Why do so many Masters and slaves attain this oneness or seek it? I think only evolution can answer that convincingly (like most things about life).
Humans are pack animals, we survive in pairs and groups, not in isolation. It stands to reason that we would evolve in ways that maximise our chances of survival.
Some real slaves don’t feel complete or whole without a Master. A slave is only 50% whole, whereas a Master is 150%. Together there is balance and harmony. The norm is for the majority in the clan to strive for equality but all clans, families, tribes, and kingdoms have leaders who rule over their subjects. A Master and slave are a more thorough more individualistic example of this. It gives Masters an outlet to become Rulers of their own domain, and why slaves seek Masters who do that comes down to the nature of power and its auxiliary.
Power and its Auxiliary “Slaves are the auxiliary verbs of society”, but don’t quote me on that!
An auxiliary verb in language is a word that helps verbs form their compound tenses, mode, and, in English, the interrogative form e.g. ‘have’ helps other verbs in English form perfect tenses, ‘do’ helps other verbs form questions. In the question, “do you come here often?”, the word ‘do’ doesn’t actually mean anything, it has no independent significance or importance, but without it the verb ‘come’ can’t form questions (grammatically that is).
An auxiliary is something that by itself may not have significance or use, but put together with something else, it becomes indispensible because it helps, and even sometimes enables, other things to function or transform or get ahead.
How many slaves need to feel useful? How many slaves like the idea of serving sexually or domestically because it gives them a sense of purpose and fulfilment? Welcome to the world of auxiliaries.
We call it Master and Servant…
Masters who like to be served domestically like to be freed from boring mundane every day humdrum repetitive chores. They want to be free to think and plan and decide, free to enjoy themselves, free to get ahead.
We also have doctors and auxiliary nurses in surgery. It’s clear in that working relationship where the authority lies but that authority would be hard pressed to do its job properly without its auxiliaries.
Slaves as auxiliaries need guidance, rules, regulations and structure, and these are just some of the ways a Master takes care of and gets the best out of His property. A Master gets a range of services of the domestic or sexual kind but he’s also providing one to His slave, allowing the slave to feel More Than Useless as the song goes by giving His slave purpose. Here’s Merlin and Prince Arthur again:
Through evolutionary studies we understand that in a competitive environment it’s better survival-wise for two people to work together towards one aim than for everyone to go through life alone. For some, working together as equals is their genetic makeup, for others one party naturally takes the lead over the other. Either way the genes for teamwork are more successful in being passed on and the genes for wanting to be alone are less successful.
If You’re a Master, You’re dominant for a reason. You may not have a kingdom in the ‘traditional’ sense but there was a time when You would have. Evolution changes much more slowly than time so You are still genetically dominant, superior and regal, and Your slave and servant is still genetically servile, obedient, and selfless.
What’s that? More Merlin and Prince Arthur needed? Here’s a stunning clip of Merlin protecting Prince Arthur from the evil ‘Song of Death’. Merlin’s reward for saving Prince Arthur’s life is that he is given the high honour and most trusted position of being Prince Arthur’s manservant. What a fitting reward it is, too:
(A better quality version is viewable here although it doesn’t have the manservant reward at the end of it – i swear people on youtube just don’t get Merlin at all lol)
Loyalty
Loyal to a fault, that’s what real slaves are. It’s integral to the service, it’s a part of the nature of being owned. Loyalty is to a slave, what wet is to falling into a pond. Others can set a clock by a slave’s loyalty to His Master, and predict the slave’s future actions by it. And who better to show us how that’s done than, you’ve guessed it, Prince Arthur’s manservant…
Here’s Merlin, like a puppy, following his Master into danger – notice how the ones setting the test already knew Merlin would do exactly what he does. A real slave’s loyalty is so certain, it’s predictable:
(The next instalment can be seen here. I’m nothing if not efficient :P)
Sacrifice
What’s the ultimate benefit and attraction for Masters to those who are truly submissive, subservient and selfless? When you have all of the above, Your slave is someone capable of something You can’t just get from anyone. He’s capable of incredible feats of sacrifice. From his love, loyalty, and worship, he will sacrifice everything for You, his Lord and Master. And all he asks in return is the privilege of serving You.
Who better to demonstrate this to us than Merlin. Here he is drinking a poisoned chalice to save his Master’s life (again!)
Would it be too much of a stretch of the imagination to say that the daily sacrifice a slave makes for his Master is what makes a slave a Master’s best friend?:
Practical Cases
Imagine you’re a very busy person in a demanding job or career and everything depends on key decisions you make. Only you can’t devote all your time to those decisions because you have to cook, wash-up, wash and iron your clothes, or run them down to the dry cleaner’s, and you have to shop, clean the house, and even groom yourself… and you think: “if only I could get someone else to do all this for me”.
You could marry and have a housewife do all that for you, only women are our equals and such notions are grossly outdated. Besides women don’t really do it for you in the bedroom. And then you think a boyfriend might be a good idea but trouble is boyfriends want equality and all the drama that comes with that (You might still want or have a boyfriend, there are many dominant couples out there). You could pay people but that means having strangers in your home often when you’re not there with access to all your stuff and then there’s employment law to deal with, trust issues, reliability…too much hassle. (In England, most bathrooms, toilets, and kitchens get cleaned the day before the cleaner arrives. In some English homes even most of the dusting gets done prior to the arrival of the cleaner, such is our reluctance to let strangers see our true selves!)
So you realise you want someone on a more personal level who can perform a stack of jobs and be versatile as a personal lackey and slave where You’re the one in control. You want someone who wants to help and serve You purely out of being useful, someone You can trust and rely on, someone who can be somewhat a companion and a helper, and be fulfilled just by fulfilling You, and what a bonus that as long as they are in your service you don’t have to pay them. You learn that such people are submissive, servile, and slavish and take great pride in serving You. Such people can be cleaners, houseboys, servants, butlers, personal assistants, body servants, sexslaves, you name it, even bookkeepers! Think how much all that would cost you normally, and you have it all at the click of Your fingers.
So you go looking for a servant, slave, auxiliary… You’re now a Master. Welcome to the world of real life slavery, Sir, how may i be of service? 🙂
Oh and, My Lord, Prince of Men, have i ever told you…
(It’s worth noting, the UK being a constitutional monarchy, our Master/slave lifestyle is the staple diet on Saturday night prime time uber-liberal BBC television. Merlin is a family show about a time when Men owned other men, a feature that runs through the majority of British and human history, so who said we’re not the norm?)
You might be interested to know what became of Merlin and his Master Prince Arthur. Well, they were reborn in the 21st Century and at a chance meeting in a woman’s toilet cubicle of a London nightclub, all the memories of their past life came flooding back:
Perhaps we’re also really Masters and slaves from a past time living in this modern world trying to find our way back to the way things used to be …
The next chapter in this series takes these issues to the evolutionary level: The Submissive Gene
We’ve all come across them. They have a very questionable take on reality. I can only recommend that all slaves stay well clear of them. They could give real Masters a bad name but real Masters are so godly nothing can touch them.
I’m talking about those who have no real understanding of slavery as an institution and can’t tell the difference between their ego and their property. It’s no surprise therefore that they can’t cope with the basic needs of their property let alone the SERIOUS long-term implications of owning human property.
You see, it turns out there’s more to owning human property than the cage You keep it in. There’s more to it than taking over a slave’s life and his obeying Your every order or being Your fantasy ‘dogslave’.
It also turns out that there are certain men posing as ‘Masters’ because they’ve constructed a sick fantasy in their heads. They don’t want a real slave, what they really want is their unhealthy fantasy, and if you don’t fit exactly into their fantasy, or if you dare to raise life-threatening issues, in their mind you’re, as one Master put it, “too complicated”, or ironically, you’re the “wannabe slave”.
Yep, some so-called ‘Masters’ make Dumb and Dumber seem like Roman Emperors!
Luckily, we can divide Masters into two main categories: those that are responsible owners of submissive, subservient, (sub-)human beings, and those that can’t hear reality for their own mental illness. As a fellow real slave, you have to learn to distinguish between these two groups because your life depends on it.
Your greatest guide is the fact that you’re a living breathing creature and one thing most life has in common is that we all have a survival instinct. Listen to that and it should hold you in good stead.
Mental instability comes in a huge variety of forms. Some are easy to detect. For instance, a ‘Master’ who wants a ‘slave’ that he can beat unconscious with a baseball bat until he breaks bones (yes he does exist!) and the only mercy is that you’ll be left in a cage for a few days to ‘recover’, except when you’re taken out to be ganged raped and to be used daily as a full toilet, is not a career choice that you’d be able to take out much of a life insurance policy on; you’d barely last a year before dying of internal bleeding or blood poisoning. Toilet use under certain controlled conditions can be rendered safe, there are many slaves who say they’ve done it for years with no ill effects, but do you think a Master who wants to beat you to that extent and just leave you in a cage to ‘recover’ cares about those controlled conditions?
That’s an obvious no-go area but some crazy so-called ‘Masters’ are harder to detect, some are expressed in such as way as to make you feel you’re the one in the wrong, you’re the one not being true to yourself.
Take for instance a Master who owns a large house and acres of land who wants a permanent live-in slave to work for Him and be His property. Sounds perfect, right?
Well no, because you soon learn He’s easily angered and has very little patience. No patience for any real discussion on matters you need to discuss so that you can find out whether He’s a psycho or not. That ketchup saying of “all the best comes to those who wait” simply doesn’t register on His brain. Since when was the finest quality of a Master having the temperament of a spoilt five-year-old child? Sure, it’s frustrating dealing with time wasters online but if you can’t tell the difference between someone having a wank online and someone who has truly examined this lifestyle and accepted it as his fate in this life, getting all stroppy only ruins it for everybody.
But hey, because you’re a real life servile well-mannered slave with the patience of a saint you persist with this unstable Master even though the cracks you’ve already seen are enough to quit, and you get to talking about life-style and rights, most of which sounds on the level, until you ask what happens if the Master dies. He replies that he’d think about an insurance policy but he’s not going to discuss that online with someone he hasn’t met. So one of the most important issues of life-long ownership can’t be discussed until you’ve met? No. Until you’ve served x-number of weeks or months? No. It can never be discussed!
You see, if He tells you he’s worth 200,000 in insurance, he says you’ll want to kill him to get the money. Regardless of the fact that as property yourself you have no desire for property or wealth of your own. Regardless of the fact that you’ve given up all your own property and job and career and independence and individuality to devote your entire life to His service, His use, and His ego.
Turns out this unstable fellow calling himself a ‘Master’ has major trust issues. He expects you to trust Him with your life but He has no trust in you whatsoever. Who knew?
So you’re now beginning to feel really sorry for this ‘Master’, and pity plays no part in a slave’s admiration of a Master. He wants a real slave but can’t bring Himself to let go of the one thing without which He can’t get close to anyone. And what a shame because the Master/slave relationship is often one of the closest most trusting of all.
So you’ve gone from respect to pity in one conversation and that triggers in your submissive brain a need to find a suitable alternative to save this ‘Master’ from Himself. How submissive is that? You look for alternatives that He can trust you with that can address the serious long-term issues of being owned as property (as i described here).
You suggest either being allowed to work outside the home (which conflicts with His total control) or setting up some kind of savings account or trust fund that’s in your name but you can’t access while you’re owned and in His service. You know, in case He dies, or decides He’s bored with you and doesn’t want you anymore, or He’s gone bankrupt and can’t keep you anymore, or He’s started to go senile, or you’ve become incapacitated such that you can’t serve anymore. And He calls you a gold digger!
I rest my case.
Or do I? I could go on and on, you see. It seems that, at least online, these ‘Masters’ think real slaves grow on trees and we all have an infinite amount of time on our hands.
I could mention the ‘Master’ who demands a photo from every conceivable angle and when you don’t provide them within five minutes, he messages in a strop: “you see, you’re not a real slave!”. Impatience and inflexibility that’s the way to do it!
I could mention the guy whose only intelligible words are “dogslave, dogslave!” and when you ask what He means by dogslave and where in your profile it says you’re what He considers that to be, He also gets in a strop: “you can’t talk to me like that!” and then finally an answer to your perfectly innocent question: “Your pics of real slaves had some dogslave pics”, as if somehow your attempt to be a real life slave comes down to the pics in the end no matter how soul-searching, deep and profound your actual profile and blog are.
Or there’s the ‘Master’ who expects you to jump on the next available flight and be His live-in slave and toilet, but this is only your first conversation and He keeps telling You how hard His dick is as if reality were nothing more than an erection. To bombard your survival instincts with even more red alerts, any attempt to ask about any real issues or consequences of being His slave and property are met with “I’ve never heard of that before”.
It’s clear there are some Masters and slaves out there who have constructed a fantasy in their heads. It’s not slavery they want, per se, it’s their fantasy. Fuck what happens to you when they get bored of you in 10 years’ time and you have nowhere to go and nothing to fall back on.
And these people wonder why they’ve found nothing in all their years of searching. I’ll leave it to others to explain it to ’em 🙂
Foreword: This article deals with near life-long total control of someone fully owned & enslaved, aka property, namely where the Master doesn’t allow His property to work outside the home (although the property might work from home or work for the Master), creating total dependence on the Master and giving the Master total power.
It’s not for everyone and neither is it intended to be a one-size fits all. Such total ownership does exist and that’s what is addressed here.
Finding TPE (Total Power Exchange) property… What seem like hurdles but aren’t really?
Firstly, relocation is not an issue, if people can change country all the time, moving human cargo is hardly beyond humanity’s reach, is it? The internet helps millions around the world keep in contact with family and friends. In fact relocation is often the best way for owned property to start a new life. The property doesn’t know anyone there, he may not speak the language. It’s an ideal environment to become dependent on the Master, to become Master’s full property.
I needn’t point out the obvious and ubiquitous fantasists and the damage they do pretending to want everyday real life ownership & slavery. But an experienced Master becomes adept at spotting when fantasy appears as slavery or ownership.
Age, build and looks are an issue if a sexual relationship is paramount. The build of the Male property can be modified in the gym and if You don’t like Your property’s nose, chin, or body hair, surgery is a few hours solution with a permanent and often near perfect way of You getting what You want.
However, how many Masters just want a jack-in-the-box? I’m surprised how many Masters don’t get pleasure out of moulding and crafting their own custom-made enslaved property. Surely having a rough diamond or blank canvas on arrival and a few months later becomes what *You* made him is a better reflection of Your true and absolute power than a slave who was moulded by his own genetics and behaviour before You even knew he existed. Who really owns what in that case?
Society can’t really be blamed because most TPE slaves recognise they don’t really belong in society. It turns out a lot of Male property have certain things in common: a small, if any, social life, a lack of career focus, and often a lack of direction altogether. Ideal for being taken over by a dominant Man.
No, the real reason Male property is so hard to find and so hard to keep is, in a word: security. All the fetishists out there, grab your cocks now, and picture the scene:
You’re a Man’s property, relocated to Your Master’s place, totally enslaved, no real social life, no job or a low paid/part-time job, no savings, no money, no real property of your own. 10 years go by. You’re 10 years older in a world where youth is king, you have a 10 year gap in your work history. You’ve existed almost entirely in sub-space/deeply controlled and confined ownership nearly every day for 10 years. Your whole life and existence is the property of and revolves around your Owner who is Master over you in all things, even Your own mind. He says jump, you don’t even ask how high: you jump.
And then He dies.
Or then He comes home one day and decides He doesn’t want you anymore. He dismisses you. Or He starts to suffer from dementia or a personality disorder, or tries to kill you. Or you become incapacitated such that you cannot serve anymore.
What do you do? Where do you go? What do you have to fall back on?
In the case of the Owner’s death, many an Owner suggests the idea of a life insurance policy. However, life insurance policies can be challenged, not least of all by the insurance company that doesn’t want to pay out. Or they can go bust. One Master even went so far as to say: “And if the slave knows the Master is worth 200,000 in insurance, he’ll kill the Master to get the money”.
Putting aside the fact that He forgot that a real owned slave has no want for property or money because he himself is property, and that the slave has given his whole existence to the service of his Owner, and that such Masters who want absolute trust from their property ironically have so little trust in their slaves, we’re lucky that insurance is not the only solution to the problem…
Welcome to the Bank of Ownership & Slavery (BOOS).
Savings accounts and trust funds: One of the best solutions is to open an account in the slave’s name that the slave has no direct access to while the slave is in the service of the Master, and every month the Master transfers funds into it so that it builds up slowly over time. If the slave works for you as a domestic servant, a cleaner, a personal assistant, a bookkeeper, think how much you’d pay others to do those jobs if You didn’t have a slave.
This is not the same as paying Your property a wage or paying Your property to be Your slave: he has no access to the account while he’s in Your service and owned by You. If the Owner never dismisses His property, and if the slave dies before the Owner, the account goes to the Master; it becomes in effect just another savings account.
But if the Master dies first or the Master wants the power to dismiss the slave in 5, 10, 15, 20 years’ time, the slave has the funds, a nest egg, with which to re-enter ‘civilisation’, retrain, get a roof over his head, and build a new life. It’s either this or let Your property work outside the home and save his income minus basic living costs.
Some property Owners have been very understanding of this and take the lead on this issue, but others have been astounded by all this as if this aspect of slavery is something new. How should we break it to these Masters? Real ownership & slavery never was and still isn’t a institution whereby it is just an easier way for the Master to get his cock sucked. The real driving force behind the institution of slavery throughout most of known human history was and is economic. That’s why slaves are the “owned property of a Master”, in the same sense that a Man owns His car, house, etc.
When Roman slaves were set free often after 30 years (called Libertus or Libertinus in Latin and Freedmen in English) their Master became their patron and if they were of age and were formally freed they were made equal Roman citizens (a much sought after high honour in those days) and took their Master’s family name and clan name (called prenomen and nomen) which signified that the newly freed slave was now a Roman citizen with voting rights. (Roman slaves formerly had only one name, a cognomen, which was either the name they had before being enslaved or a name chosen by their Master (for more on Roman names see here).
In biblical slavery, slaves often served to pay off debts or even in one case to win the Master’s daughter’s hand in marriage, and biblical slaves were often set free with property.
And all I’m talking about is making sensible contingency plans if things ever go wrong or a time comes when the Owner wishes no longer to own His property.In both the Roman and biblical cases, killing slaves or leaving them destitute was illegal for the obvious reason that slavery was an economic solution to a empirical problem, adding to that problem was not tolerated by the State.
The same principle exists today albeit on a private individualistic scale. Without this security, those created to be Male property will be unable to give You absolute power for x number of years only to find himself turfed out when he gets “too old”, because there’s one thing that distinguishes Your animate property from the inanimate objects You own: like most life on this planet, enslaved Male property has a survival instinct. It comes with being alive. The consequence of any living creature losing its survival instinct is very often death.
Don’t believe me? Try The Bank of Ownership & Slavery, and start getting ready for Your next live-in 24/7/365 slave and property. I’d wish all the Masters out there good luck, but it’s not luck You need, it’s the security of a “what if?” back-up fund that You need to create if You ever want to realise Your dreams as a slaveowner in today’s world.
I’d say with all the power You’d have and all the years of service You’d enjoy, it’s a small but vitally important measure.
Update:
Badyoungmaster has provided a thorough list of issues that would come under a Master’s influence and control in owning someone as His slave. You can read His post here, but I’ll reproduce them in this post and organise them into categories (a great slave skill :P).
Slave behaviour, appearance, hygiene & health Sleeping (where to sleep), Eating (what and how, vitamins), Exercise (weight loss/gain, muscle building, overall health), Personal Hygiene (washing, douching, dental care, Clinique), Toilet (piss and s–t), Appearance (clothing items, hair removal – which areas, shaved head), Body Modifications (piercings, tats, genital), Physical Aids (glasses, hearing aids, contacts), Speaking (level of communication), Behavior, Personal Items (keepsakes etc.), Chastity, Intimacy (kissing, reciprocation), Discipline/Reward.
Slave duties, chores and uses Housekeeping (cleaning, cooking, organizing), Errands, Working/Career, working for or assisting Master, BDSM, Sex.
Slave in society Sickness/Illness (doctor visits, medications, hospitalization, insurance), Business Trips, Vacations, Perception of/Contact with Friends/Family, Contractual Obligations (tuition payback, cell phone contracts), Debt Repayment, , Death (Master, re-integration into society, nest egg), Death (slave’s loved ones), Legal Obligations (voting, jury duty, taxes), Illegal Residency, Marriage, Community Involvement.
There are of course lots of other issues and categories but guess which two items occupy over 99% of all Master/slave online chat, and which items are never even thought about let alone discussed or mentioned.
You’d think that as owning someone and making all decisions for them and controlling their life means dealing with all these issues, it’d be a joy to surrender them and a joy for the Master to take them over. Why then are they almost never even thought about let alone mentioned?
And people ask me why there are slaveless Masters and Masterless slaves out there!
