The first and foremost thing to remember, is that YOU are MASTER, and she is Slave. Yours is to command, hers is to BE commanded. Your wishes, needs and desires are hers to fulfill. Any wish, any time, in any way YOU desire. She is as any piece of property. A pet, to be cared for, cherished, and appreciated, but a pet who MUST be taught that she is to obey, at all times, just like any other pet. She is owned, and you are the one who owns her. Her sole function is to make sure that YOU are happy, her wishes or desires are not to be considered, unless YOU want to consider them. She should not expect any type of concessions on your part to make her happy, unless it is what YOU wish to do. Your control of her should be absolute and complete, in all things. You control her diet, her habits, how she styles her hair, the clothing (if any) that she is allowed to wear, whether she is allowed to stand, or is required to kneel before asking your permission to speak. Such things only touch the tip of the iceberg, as it were, in regards to the control you exercise over her. I am not, by any means, an expert on this subject, but during the course of my Mastery, I have had a total of 5 slaves under my control, in varying degrees of discipline, for various reasons, so I feel moderately qualified to state a few basic thoughts regarding this subject. Totality is the key to correct mastery of a slave. However, if this is not the form of mastery you choose to exercise, then it can be moderated to encompass whatever the perameters of your desires may be. I speak here of TOTAL mastery, and base my comments on that concept. During my own experiences, I have had 3 TOTAL slaves, 1 who wore the collar just for the regulation of her diet, and one who wore it specifically for the training involved. Of the last 2 slaves, neither one of them was under slave discipline for use sexually, but for the slave undergoing TOTAL slavery, this a also a part of her expected duties. Being pleasing in ALL things, MUST include being pleasing in ANY type of sexual situation you desire to put her into. This should be limited only by YOUR desires and wishes, and she should be expected to perform in ANY manner or style you wish. Generally, depending on the patience of the Master, a slave may be instructed in the correct method of performance once, without fear of discipline. Subsequently, she would be expected to perform in the same manner, each time she is commanded to perform. If she shows any difference in her performance, it should be by improving her technique, but not by altering it or performing in an inferior manner, unless YOU command her to alter it. She should KNOW that your wishes are paramount, and that any alteration of her behavior (in ANY manner), will result in her being punished. Just as you would punish a pet dog who disobeyed, or left an unwelcome present on the carpet, so to, should a slave be punished for improper behavior or disobedience. She MUST know at all times that YOU control every aspect of her existence, and that she will be punished if she does not perform in a satisfactory manner. This punishment may take any form you wish. You can punish your slave by using the whip, withholding food, making her kneel without moving for a specified period of time, or any other form of punishment you feel is adequate for her edification. I should also mention however, that while she is subject to punishment at your whim, and must be taught to understand this, it is seldom, if ever, used without reason or cause. There is a fine line between discipline and abuse, and a slave, like any other animal, should not be abused or treated in a harmful manner. Power over a slave can be an intoxicating experience, but caution must also be used to insure that a Master does not overdo it. It is very easy, for instance, during the act of whipping a slave, to get carried away, and whip her more or longer the she might deserve for whatever her infraction was. Restraint must be held uppermost in the mind of the Master at all times. This is not to say however, that a slave should always be treated harshly. They are also to be treasured, and appreciated. While, at various times, my slaves may be required to lay at my feet, or serve as a foot stool for me to rest my feet on, my favorite position in which to place my slave; is kneeling naked on the floor, beside my chair, as I read or watch TV, and close enough that I may caress or stroke her hair. I do this with the same affection that I would show to a favored dog. Although it is not required that a Master show affection for his slave, I feel that it is an honest part of our relationship, and as such, need not be supressed. I enjoy the feel of my slaves, their skin, their hair, their curves, etc., and I see nothing wrong with exercising my rights as Master, by touching them when, and in whatever manner I wish, whether it be firmly, or with tenderness. I should also mention, that there are no hard and fast rules for the behavior of slaves. Whatever pleases the Master, is what is important. In several households that I have visited, the slave, when her Master enters the room, is required to kneel, and remain kneeling until she is given permission to stand and resume whatever task she was performing. I personally do not, under normal circumstances, require this of my slaves, but it is a good example of what a slave may be required to do. I do however, when being served any kind of beverage, require that my slaves kiss the cup or glass in which the beverage is being served, to show their servitude to me. There are also a number of other behaviors which can be required of a slave. Kneeling with head down when offering food or drink to the Master, kneeling with the head to the floor in submission, kissing the Master's feet or legs under specific circumstances, or upon command, being dressed (or undressed) in a specific manner when a Master comes home, being required to state graphically what a slave would like done to her while engaged in sex, or to lay on her back, on the floor, before the Master, and brazenly opening her legs to him to show her sexual arousal, and to beg him to relieve her tensions, are all examples of the behavior that may be required of a slave. Again, this depends on the wishes of the Master. He can require ANY type of behavior he wishes from his slave. On the subject of collars; this too is up to the discretion of the Master. I prefer steel collars that have a locking mechanism for my slaves, so that they may not be removed until I remove them, but I know several Masters who use ordinary leather dog collars for their slaves, and a few masters who do not use collars at all. Some Masters may use chains in such a manner that they will act as a collar for the slave as well. The most common type of chain collar, is part of a Sirik. This is a length of chain about 5 1/2 feet long, which runs down the front of the slave. It has a short length of chain at one end, that is used as a collar, has another short length of chain at approximately it's center, that can be used to confine the wrists of the slave, and also a short length of chain at it's other end that can be used to confine the ankles of the slave. This length of this chain may vary greatly, so that the slave may be required (with a short length of chain) to take very small steps when walking (or have her ankles crossed and chained so that she can't walk at all) or a longer length of chain which will allow for an almost normal stride when she walks. The chain may also be shortened during sex, by having the center chain, near the ankles, secured to a portion of the center chain near the neck, effectively keeping the slaves legs and ankles confined in the air, and she being unable to lower her legs or cover herself in any way. I prefer, at the termination of each chain length (neck, wrists and ankles) to secure the chains on the slave with small padlocks, again so that they can't be removed until I unlock the padlocks and remove them. This adds a psycological aspect to the wearing of the chains (and/or collar) in that the slave KNOWS that the chains will remain on her until her Master wishes them to be removed, and that she is totally at his mercy and can't remove them herself. Women, (despite modern society's teachings) want their man to be strong with them, and show them that they are indeed Male, and thus of the Dominant portion of the species. In the entire animal kingdom, the male is the Dominant one, and the female is the submissive one, and this is also true with people. Even if they won't admit it, all women wish to fulfill their role in nature by being submissive to the male. The Master/Slave relationship helps to fulfill this inbred, instinctive role. The level of the relationship is subject to agreement before hand between both parties, but once agreed upon, goes a long way toward fulfilling the basic instincts of both the male and female. This is one of the best reasons for exploring the Master/slave relationship. There are an infinite variety of specific circumstances which I could discuss here, regarding various attitudes, behaviors, ways in which a slave may perform, feelings etc., but suffice this narrative to show a basic overall guide to making the Master/slave relationship work, or to getting such a relationship started. One should think VERY carefully about all aspects of this modality before undertaking it, but if done properly, it can enhance and fulfill a relationship between a man and woman like no other..
