A submissive is there to submit to his Mistress and this tends to apply mainly in sessions though it can become part of the rest of his life. Slavery is a state of mind. A slave is here to serve his Mistress, submit to her wishes and to obey Her. He may have agreed a training regime which covers lots of areas of his life and all aspects of how he interacts with Mistress. He will have agreed a slave contract which sets out the parameters of his slave life. He is likely to have agreed a chastity contract and to be wearing a chastity device for which the Mistress is the key holder.
i know that there is a lot of debate about these words and acres of print and large areas of the internet are filled with debates of what is a slave and what is a submissive. i really do not know but for me the definitions i have given above seem to make some sense.
i was slave to Mistress from when She agreed for me to be so in 2007 until late in 2011. There were yearly agreements in writing which were my slave contracts and open discussion of their contents and fully informed consent by me when i signed them.
But in 2011 things changed. Suddenly one day Mistress stated “you are no longer My slave because you are now My property” This is a big step change for me. i still consent every time i am asked to do something and do it. But now it is an assumption in our lives.
Property is something that you own. “My car, My house, My Hi-fi set up”. But not people. That is how things were in the bad old days of slavery when people were enslaved sold, and condemned to a life of slavery without consent, both them and any descendants as well. This was the slavery that was abolished in the 19th century and did dreadful things to so many people.
i am property but i do not see it as that. i see it as a stage on my life of increasing servitude and consensual slavery. i am proud that Mistress sees me as Her property and seeks to develop me and train me in new skills to serve Her.
But i still see it as a major step change in our relationship, freely accepted by me which shows the increased power that She now holds in my life.
Of course a Mistress has responsibilities to Her slave to keep him fed and safe and not to harm him. That is even more true for a property than a slave as She would be damaging Her own property and She would not want to do that. But it does take me away from the life of agreed contracts for slavery, chastity and training as there can be no contract between and owner and Her owned slave. There can be a memorandum of understanding written so that both the slave and his Mistress can put down in writing what they understand is going on, but this is only for a check of the situation and is no longer a contract. So i am now so pleased to have reached the state where Mistress considers me Her property. It came as a shock when She made the pronouncement but it is a true description of what i am and seek to remain.
