A question that seems to come up with a decent regularity is: "Are you really heartless?"

I suppose that the simple answer would be, yes. Heartless, in my particular use of the term, is intended to convey the cold, calculated application of force needed to properly fulfill the role of a Master. This is done in a methodical fashion. Not out of irrational emotion, with which some self-proclaimed Masters seem to act, but out of necessity. It is for the sake of providing the slave with a strict and consistant level of control, never impared by any routine-disrupting outbursts, but never lacking in its severity.

The best comparison that you might use for this is that of a military drill instructor, without the constant screaming. Severe in the punishment of failure, unwaivering control shown at all times, and yet restraining themselves to ensure the continued health and development of their trainees.

There seems to be some confusion as to the difference between someone who is heartless and someone who is a psychopath. I have no sympathy for whatever discomfort, pain, or humiliation that a slave might suffer while serving me, or while being punished for failing me.

That doesn't mean that I'm not aware of those extremely important safety and general health concerns which are essential for maintaining the wellbeing of a slave. I'm not about to have a slave, who I am entirely responsible for, subjected to anything that would cause lasting harm or illness. It would be both irrisponsible as a Master, as well as counter productive to my expectations of a slave, to brutalize a slave to the point where she serves me only out of fear.

A slave who serves out of respect and humble devotion to her Master is always preferable to one who has been broken down to the point where her fear compells her to serve. Such a slave would not be able to serve her Master to her fullest potential, nor please him the same way as one who genuinely wants to serve by her own free will.

So, for those of you who have made the assumption that being 'heartless' means that one needs to be psychotic, or entirely sadistic in every action, think long and hard about the difference between the two, then proceed with your personal interperatation.

    Master Heartless,

This one will piss off a few people, but I really dont care.

If there's one thing that I really hate, besides spammers, it's financial Dom/Dommes. I understand that there are many people out there who have this fetish of financial control, and that's something that they really have no control over because of a psychological tendancy or a chemical reaction in the brain. I dont hate them.

The ones who take advantage of that, on the other hand, are hardly worth being called Doms/Dommes. For the vast majority of these people, their sole motivation for doing what they do is making money. They dont have any real concern for how the people that they take advantage of are going to take care of themselves once they have been bled dry.

I've seen people have their lives ruined by financial Dommes on the internet, demanding that they spend their hard-earned paychecks to support the lazy bitch on the other side of a screen.

At the very least, a professional Dom/Domme who actually participates in real sessions with their clients has to work for their money. But these financials are just collecting absurd amounts of money from sitting at their computers and telling submissives to give them things.

To me what these people do is worse than con artists, swindlers, and thieves. Those people have to work for it. These pathetic excuses for Doms and Dommes are doing what they do in the open, for everybody to see, and not even bothering to pretend that they are earning it.

I hope that everybody will join me in encouraging people who have this particular fetish to avoid indulging in it, and thus, supporting these people who pretend to be worthy of what they are given.

    Master Heartless,

The number of fakes, players, scammers and spammers on here is absolutely astonishing. I didn't think that it would be this difficult to find someone who would at least be interested in discussing their potential slavery.

I understand that women on here are probably inundated with emails from men who want to own them (or seemingly more common, just to fuck them). Still, I would think that after browsing through a few profiles, they would be able to figure out how to identify those who are actually serious about making a long-term commitment and owning a slave.

Having figured that much out, I would assume that said slaves would try and make contact with a Master.

Unfortunately, I find that the overwhelming majority of slaves will simply look at a profile, and then become either too shy, or simply decide that it's not worth taking the time to try and write a simple message.

If that is the quality of the slaves that one can expect to find on this site, then I dont have much hope for actually finding what I'm looking for.

I can honestly say that, out of the two dozen or so slaves that have contacted me, only two of them were honestly looking for a Master to own them. The others were simply attracted to the thrill that accompanies the fantasy, and had no real intention of seeking out a Master to own them.

I may take some small solace in the fact that there are real slaves hiding among the fakes, but in this case it's like panning for gold in the hopes of finding a nugget of worth.

Unlike some Doms/Masters out there, I will always pass up a slave when think that I am not the right Master for them, or if I think that they would have a more healthy or satisfying relationship with someone different.

That makes it infinately more difficult to find one that suits me. And, while I decided that the two real slaves who contacted me were not going to be the right fit, I still hold out hope that this site will eventually yield results.

Here's hoping for the best.

    Master Heartless,

The user "riseslave" is a fake and a scammer. She will pull the "struggling girl in debt" game and try to get you to send her money.

She says she's russian, and she can barely write you an IM, so she's probably really from west africa or something. She will send you pictures, but they're not really of her, and she will refuse to prove what she really looks like.

Dont bother wasting your time trying to talk to her. It's not worth the effort.

I had a conversation today with the user meattwowhip, and I found that she had what I believe to be the best set of journal entries that explain exactly why you should always be careful about who you choose to be submissive to. That is especially true for beginners who are just entering the BDSM world.

I would suggest that anyone who thinks that they want to be a 24/7 slave, or a 'NO LIMITS' slave, should take the time to read her entries about the horrifying ordeal that she went through, and just how lucky she was to escape.

Her profile doesn't look like much at first glance, but really take a look at her journal and you will see that she's not a fake or a poser of any kind. She is simply here to reccount her story and offer it as a warning to other women, so that nobody has to go through what she has.

She is a very brave woman, and I hope all of who read her journal will appreciate what she has come forward to talk about, and give her your support.

  Here's hoping you will consider what she talks about.

    Master Heartless

It amazes me how many girls come on here looking to be made into 24/7 slaves when they have little to no experience. Most of them cant even give a good reason as to why they want to. They usually just say "I really want to do it."

I feel like, because of my level of experience, I have an obligation to help new slaves and submissives understand what they are getting themselves into, and to make sure that they will have healthy, productive lives in the world of BDSM.

There are many Doms out there who are users. Those are the ones who will simply grab up any slave or sub that they can get their hands on, with no regard for their wellbeing, and ultimately do lasting harm.

My suggestion to any new slave/sub is that if you are inexperienced, and you have never had a BDSM relationship that crossed over into your every day life, then you should take it slow. You shouldn't throw yourself to the wolves just yet. Take the time to practice different BDSM activities and figure out what you prefer, what you dont like, and what your limits are.

It can be unhealthy to simply say to the world "Use me!" and hope that you will get what you think your after. Or worse, to get what you originally thought you wanted, only to have it turn out to be something completely different that what you expected and ruin your future relationships or life outside BDSM.

I've seen it happen before, and it's not a pretty sight.

Best of luck to all new slaves and subs,

    Master Heartless

I've gotten a couple of messages asking about what I would consider body modifications.

One user told me that she had heard from another dom that body modifications included things like removing a slave's clitoris because 'slaves didn't deserve orgasms'.

In my opinion, "body modifications" like that are more along the lines of disfigurement and mutillation. 

To me, body midifications are things like tattoos, piercings, brands, breast implants, changing or cutting hair, using fitness regiments to alter muscle tone, using diet control to force a slave to lose weight, and things that are not entirely permanent or can be reversed in some way.

Okay, just another sleepless night here, so I figure I'd write a bit.

I'm a bit of an insomniac, so sleep can be a problem for me. This seems like a good time to answer a question that I've gotten from a couple different users.

Question: "How do you know exactly how hard you should be on a sub?"

Answer: In the end, it all comes down to the level of play that your sub/slave can tolerate and how comfortable you are with exerting your own strength.

Personally, when it comes to impact play, asphyxiation, electricity, etc., I know exactly what it feels like for my slaves because I make it a rule that I will NOT do something potentially harmful without having experienced it myself first.

That means that before I strike a slave with my crop, I already know what it feels like to be hit with one, at every level of intensity.

That prior experience, combined with a clear understanding of your sub/slave's personal limitations, will make it infinitely easier to judge how hard you should or can be on them.

Dominants who do things to their submissives without this knowledge, in my opinion, don't deserve the devotion shown to them. It's reckless, and can result in lasting damage if done improperly.

Remember to always keep it safe, sane, consensual fun.

I hope this helps

H.T.
