...and get a hundred different answers.

Now, how can I say this without offending someone's finer sesibilities? Well, here goes. I can't really say that there really is such thing as a slave, at least not in a consensual way. Now, don't get excited, this is just my opinion. I mean, going to the origanal meaning of the word, a slave is a oerson who is forced into servitude. However, let's not get into semantics.

I guess what I am basically saying is that, in my opinion, a slave as we call him/her, is just a submissive. Now granted, that submissive has commited themselves far more than a submissive who just calls themself a submissive (not that I am saying submissives are not dedicated) A slave is just a submissive who has chosen to submit deeper and to a fuller extent. They are still a submissive. Why? Because they chose their position. It wasn't forced on them.

Don't get me wrong, I am not knocking those of you who have the title slave but I could never have it used withme because I would never be a slave by the true meaning of the word. *shrugs* But that is just my opinion.

Now what I mean by ask a hundred different people and get a hundred different answers...well I have seen too many views on the matter to really be sure what it is all about myself. I read one guys opinion on his web page saying that "submissives play at the lifestyle, slaves live it." Well that one kind of got under my skin a bit. But I also know a couple who see it as the salve is allowed no personal items. Everything she owned before the relationship becomes forfit to him. He also makes her perform online using a web cam for money and she has even been put into an adult film (though she didn't seem to mind) He even made her get a boob job. Sorry, but I were her, I wouldn't have stayed. That's my personal preference mind you. I just don't think that I could handle being forced to have a boob job or whatever.

And I know yet another couple who have gone to the extent of branding. I would say "Hell no! Get that DAMNED thing away from me!" Just the thought of it makes me shudder and wonder. But then again, it's what makes them happy so I will not knock it or berate it. The bottom line is I don't care if you use the title slave, you can call yourself Praxion from the planet Ziffania for all I care. (though if you did I might worry a little bit) This is just my simple, humble opinion.
