Thanks Delia, That was very well written and very comprehensive.

There is something I would like to add that I think is also worth pointing out.

You pointed out that all slaves are submissive but not all submissives are slaves. Very accurate, but I think it’s also important to note that not all slaves are slaves to everyone. As you noted it takes time to develop the M/O/s dynamic but I think that it takes a very special, deep commitment and connection to one another for the slave to be brought out in the sub. Seems like common sense I know, but I think there are many people out there who have a misconception about people fitting neatly into the “sub” category or the “slave” category. I see a slave as being the end of the sub spectrum that you reach with your partner after the building period – only the dynamic created between two people who are perfect or near perfect for one another are able to reach that point.
