9/6/2011 8:35:34 AM: I have been looking at some slave profiles on here recently.  One thing I notice is that a lot of them crave abuse.  To me, slave ownership is not to abuse your property, but to mold and teach the slave.  A true slave knows her place and while no one is perfect, the true slave should strive to be and expect to be punished, not abused, when she is not.   Possibly I am reading something into these profiles that is not there.  As property of this Master, a slave will be cared for, nurtured, furthered in their servitude.  A slave is valued and should be treated as such.  Not to say that slaves may be subjected to my desires and my desires alone.   Slave ownership is a great responsibility and not only about sex.  My perfect slave will do my bidding as I see fit.     A true master should be fair, albeit sometimes a mood to issue maintenance punishments can arise.  Punishments should be severe enough to teach, but not so severe as to injure.   I take pride in my property, why should I take less pride in my slave?
