Sometimes you give a slave an assignment, such as, "write what it means to be my slave" and you get back a lovely surprise. I am proud that my property wrote the following:
i know that there is a 'fantasy slave' but from experience, know that there is a 'real slave' and there is a world of difference in those words.
a "real slave' loves her Master beyond herself, only wants what is best for Him, watches out for Him, tries to anticipate His needs and provides them.
a real slave is there 24/7 for Her Master, not just during a scene, not just for sex. it is a profoundly deep relationship, not entered into lightly. sure, Master can advertise for 'slaves only' and then get one for His entertainment for a ferw hours, a day. but is she comitted to Him? is she willing to let go of her needs, is she willing to place her life in His hands?
there needs to be a back and forth communication between Master and slave. each needs to know the other as themselves. that takes time...it doesn't happen overnight. a Master cannot find a 'true slave' thru internet communication and neither can the slave do that. the only way to find each other is thru one on one time for many days, weeks, years. Yes, even i could be a 'true slave' (were that in my nature) to someone for a day, maybe even a week. However that is not the test of time....
Time has told me that i have a Master Who, while fallible, is also a true sadist which satisfies my needs as a masochist. However, that is just a bonus...my needs are not what is important. His needs are. if the slave is not 'in the mood' it is the Master Who dictates that 'yes, this is going to happen'. i believe that a slave trusts her Master more, if she is dominated when she really doesn't feel like it. she learns that this is a Man who indeed, loves her, but also is spending time teaching her, her place.
a slave takes care of her Master in all ways. it's not 24/7 sex! it's making His bed, it's putting on His shoes, it's opening His car door, it's kneeling in public should He so desire. it is fixing meals that He likes, it is putting His clothes in the laundry and generally cleaning up (not so glamorous at times). it is providing Him the comforts that only a loving, intuitive slave can do.
the real test is to live toghether, to comfort Master when He is frustrated or down, to provide support and love if things are not going His 'masterly' way, to listern, to interpret what He is saying and be there for Him. TO LISTEN. The slave takes pleasure from these things. She wants her Master to be always assured of her love, her comittment to Him, her acceptance of Who and What He is, for Himself.
The ability to listen is one of the most valued aspects of slavery, at least in my opinion. To be able to hear the nuances in His voice as He relates His thoughts. To be able to hear when He is very tired, to be able to know that this is a time for comfort, or otoh, a time to slip out and put on a provactaive outfit and stimulate Him.
The slave enjoys being with her Master...that is the key. Yes, the slave enjoys the physical domination, the sex, the 'toys', etc. But to be able to enjoy her Master at all times and have an abiding need to be with Him at all times, good and bad, is the feeling of a 'real slave' rather than an internet slave.
Slavery is entered into too easily on the internet imho. The meaning of a being a slave is deep and i don't believe that most who say they are a 'slave' really understand what it's all about. sometimes i don't even think Master understands what it is when He goes searching and believes He has found a 'true slave'. He may have found a 'true masochist', but a TRUE SLAVE is something completely different.
Sigh, slaves have also accept that about the Master. He may not see the forest for the trees, but a slave will always be there for Him, should things not work out and she will wait patiently until He understands that finding a TRUE slave is a tad more difficult that posting an ad or answering an ad, spending a day or two with someone.
As you may have figured out from this I am far from an easy "Master" since I tend to be impulsive and frequently seek new slaves. However, she seems to understand who and what I am and her protection is never stifling and/or does not come from jealousy.
