Rules for a Successful slave

i will serve, obey and please my Master.

i am nothing more than an object of small value - an instrument Master will use to draw out His pleasures.

i will ask my Master for permission to satisfy whatever need i have before acting on it.

My body and mind are the property of my Master.

i must always give thanks to my Master for all i am given immediately after receiving what He has given me, for such things are gifts or privileges granted to me by Him.

i have no will of my own other than that which falls within the context of the rules i have selected and of that which is needed to pursue the ambitions i am allowed to seek out as according to the permissions i have received from my Master. i will report to Him my progress in such matters to receive His favor or His guidance in making whatever steps may be required to move ahead so that i am successful.

i am always in submission to my Master whether He is present or not, ready to please Him at anytime, in any place, under any circumstances, regardless of who may be present. For the opportunity to submit and to please is by far more important and satisfying than any other pursuit. i trust my Master will keep me safe, protecting His reputation and mine in the presence of others, as He examines my ability to present myself to Him and to others in a subtle manner when required to protect our lifestyle from those who may not understand, nor support, as long as our behavior is not in anyway misrepresented nor misinterpreted by those who may be afar. i am to set, once again, a good example, ready to explain my position to others when required to do so. my lifestyle is a part of a growing culture for which i must never forget that i am an integral part.

When i am not in the presence of my Master and i have choices to make - i will perform them to the best of my abilities and within the boundaries and guidance He has allowed me.

my eyes must be cast down in the presence of my Master unless i am given permission to do so otherwise. i am to focus on my behavior, waiting to act appropriately and without hesitation when directed to do so by Him.

my "place" is on my knees before my Master, for it is a privilege and honor to be His slave.

i choose willingly to be treated as my Master's property

i must never reach orgasm without explicit permission from my Master. Failure to receive properly asked for permission and i will endure punishment

i must confess to my Master when i have been naughty so that He may decide if such violations require me to be disciplined or to be punished. i must accept whatever decisions He makes by thanking Him for His choice - if He allows it before or shortly thereafter, specifying as to why i will be or have been disciplined or punished. i must focus upon how sorry i am for not behaving in the way in which i have been taught - for i have brought defilement upon myself and to Him an unacceptable act which is displeasing to Him.

i realize Master may own more than one slave, if He so chooses, and that i, unless allowed by Him, may never be able to have another Master other than Him, accept by His choosing to further my training. i trust Master will take whatever precautions are necessary to keep the slaves He chooses to own sexually healthy and to provide whatever measures are necessary to protect us from the eruptions and ravages of any jealously which may try to corrupt the relationships our Master has allowed between each of us - including the one we each have with Him.

if i am required to be my Master's toilet, into or onto which He chooses to release the watery juices of His cock, i shall position myself to receive His personal waters by kneeling for Him, tilting my head back, opening my mouth wide, and closing my eyes so that He will delight in the display and offering of my body and of one of my orifices for Him choose upon which one to use. i shall remain still as He releases Himself, swallowing what i can of the waters He allows me. i shall play with myself during the release, as is instructed by Him, so that i am permitted to sexualize the experience as much as possible for His pleasure, thanking Him afterwards for allowing me the opportunity to honor Him in this most private way.

i shall gladly make my body available to my Master to be used as furniture: my body positioned to decorate a room or a garden, a footstool to rest his weary feet and legs upon, my backside as a His table to eat off of, my palms to be used to hold a plate of His food, or my hands to hold a book open for Him to read or a lamp to for Him to see.

Privacy is a privilege - even to have it when i need to use the bathroom. i must ask for it and accept my Master's decision even when i am denied of it.

As a domestic slave i shall perform chores about my Master's house, and those of others He allows, acting in a sexual and enticing manner in all that i do.

If i am sent to another Master to serve - i will serve that Master well, as if He were my Master, for i want my Master to receive a good report after i have been returned to Him.

i will not date others or form a relationship with others without permission and approval from my Master. If i should have sex with others i will have it safely and will always tell my Master in detail what i have done so that no part of me is a secret and that i am laid bare for his inspection and approval.

The slave’s General Rules

The slave will always show his Master the highest level of respect.

The slave will never lie to his Master.

The slave will never piss standing up. A slave is subservient to his Master and should not be so presumptuous as to imitate his Master. The Master pisses standing up, His slave does not. The slave will always sit on a toilet or squat down to piss. This will help serve as a reminder of who and what he is. The slave will not use the seat of a toilet. The slave will sit on the cold porcelain when he shits or pisses. The Master uses the seat and the slave's ass is not worthy of touching what He has used.

The slave shall address the Master as "Sir" or "Master" at all times unless given permission to do otherwise, and shall address the Master with respect at all times. When using formal address, the slave will refer to the Master as "the Master" or "He", and to itself as "the slave" or "it". When using familiar address, the slave will refer to the Master as "Sir" or "You", and to itself as "i" or "me". When speaking to others, the slave will refer to the Master as "my Master" , and to itself as "i" and "me".

The slave shall, at all times, respectfully request permission to take any action not expressly directed by the Master. A reason must be given for such actions at the time of the request.

The slave is to use the Master's space with utmost respect and shall always leave any area he is permitted to use in a state of order and cleanliness. Notwithstanding, the slave shall not disturb any of Master's personal belongings without express permission.

The slave will never wear underwear, except as the Master directs. It is an article of unnecessary clothing. If the slave works on the outside and must wear something, it will be a jockstrap. The slave will never touch its cock, balls, asshole, or tits without the Master's permission. They are for His enjoyment only, not the slave's.

The slave will have no privacy from his Master. There is nothing that the slave will not reveal to Him. The slave is the Master's property and, as such, He has the right to know everything.

The slave will sleep at the foot of the Master's bed or in a cage as the Master requires. The slave will only sleep in the Master's bed when ordered to do so.

At home, the slave will not sit on any furniture unless instructed to do so. The slave will kneel, lay, or sit on the floor as ordered.

The Master will train the slave and the slave will always do his best to follow instructions. The slave will learn how to serve his Master's every need and desire.

The slave will never embarrass his Master for fear of being severely punished.

The slave will always strive to extend his limits to new heights so the Master can be increasingly proud of His property.

The slave will willingly accept punishment from the Master. It is meant to remind the slave of how he is to behave and perform his duties to Him.

The slave will offer his body and mind to the Master at any time He desires to use it. The purpose of how He uses the slave is immaterial; it is sufficient that He wants to use it.

The Master will frequently enjoy Himself in ways that may cause the slave great pain. The slave will learn to accept and rejoice in the fact that it is able to perform that service for Him, even when it means considerable agony.

The slave will always wear what the Master determines to be the appropriate attire for any given situation. This may be as little as a jockstrap and slave collar, even in public. The fact that this may cause the slave embarrassment is of no concern. When in the Master's home or when the Master is present in the slave's home, the slave will remain naked at all times.

The slave will keep himself shaved of hair, as ordered or as removed by the Master. When clothing is required, as determined by the Master, it will be specified by the Master.

All orders are subject to verbal modification at the pleasure of the Master and the Master may impose such additional orders as He deems appropriate.

The slave shall keep its mind concentrated solely upon service to the Master and shall demonstrate its acceptance of his role of service and availability at all times.

Whenever the Master or the slave enters a room in which the other is already present, the slave will immediately kneel and kiss the Master's feet, unless physically unable to or under previous orders not to. If the Master's cock is free, the slave will take it into its mouth after kissing the Master's feet and keep it there until the Master orders otherwise.

The Master may give the slave "free periods" in His presence, during which the slave may express himself openly and freely. There will be no punishment applied during "free periods." It is understood, however, that the slave must still address the Master with respect at all times, and that the slave may be punished for infractions of this rule.

The slave’s Creed

i am a cock sucking, ass kissing slave whose sole reason for being is the pleasure of my Master. i have no rights, no privileges, and am worthy of no considerations. my Master's pleasure is my reason for being. my body and mind are His property to do with whatever He chooses. i exist only to serve.

slave Pledge

i acknowledge that i am the property of my Master. i swear to always honor my Master through obedience and service to Him. my mind and body are His to use in any way He chooses. i acknowledge my Master is under no obligation to explain His orders nor to justify His punishments, but i am under every obligation to obey Him and accept His punishments. i acknowledge my Master’s seamen is precious and when introduced into my body, i will regard it as a privilege to be the vessel, to hold it within me through swallowing or in my rectum. i vow never to spill nor leak my Master’s precious body fluids. i acknowledge i am a worthless faggot slave and i live to worship, obey and please my Master.

“unlocked, yet he does not run or try to escape…because a true slave’s bondage of the mind to his Master’s will is stronger than any metal forged by man.”

Words of wisdom from Father Mark that should be required reading for everyone involved in the power exchange community.
We all understand that for the majority, power exchange is only an erotic game with s and props and (hopefully) a really great orgasm. Tons of fun for the Fantasy Inclined. But for a few, TPE is a way of life that allows both Doms and subs the ability to live and express their entire personality. The domination is real and the submission is real.
The above post beautifully demonstrates:
• Simply calling yourself a ‘“master” does not make you one;
• Doms have an obligation to be responsible and knowledgeable;
• How important open communication is the foundation between a Dom and sub.
A collar is not a prop in the real world of power exchange.

There is more to a Master/slave relationship than just the dungeon or the scene, there is life also and living it to the fullest! Respect is earned after trust is established.
Why would any slave want to serve a Master that was not a positive influence in the slaves life? It does go both ways and when it happens, it’s euphoric!
The Quintessential Leatherman
To me a Leatherman has a set of core values, common decency, honesty, integrity, respect, self-discipline and pride. A Leatherman has a certain gait that is firm, confident. A Leatherman does not engage in idle gossip and is not demeaning to others. There is a certain type of behavior that goes with being a responsible Leatherman.
A Leatherman lives by an unwritten code. A Leatherman is a gentleman, works hard, plays hard and supports himself but is also there to give a leg up to others by encouraging and empowering them to achieve their goals in life.
A Leatherman lives in harmony with the world around him and stands up against social injustice.
A Leatherman makes informed decisions about his life and lives accordingly. He does not necessarily try to just fit into the crowd but stand apart and recognize the strong bands of brotherhood that can extend around the globe. He recognizes the interconnectedness of how the world works and his part in it.
A Leatherman expresses confidence in himself and his abilities and yet is very humble and ready to empower others to live their dreams and achieve their goals.
I was, two times and the New Master in Australia is number three. the first collar began in 1977 when I was in the Marines and He was in the Marines also. The time in intense play pushes my personal limits and boundries and carries over into my professional and personal life. Very spiritual to me.

Honesty is expected it’s a nonnegotiable. At first it sounds easy but that means in all things.
Until you have put aside the masks you show the world how can you earn his respect or give your loyalty? In some ways it’s the hardest part of submission being vulnerable even with the parts of you it reveals are not your best qualities. Hard yes, scary definitely, worth it? Yes if you are going to grow.

“The best slaves are those who are totally engaged and present in their slavery ... not mindlessly detached. The best slaves are confident, secure, self empowered, courageous, extremely intelligent, and resourceful and most of all capable of making the CHOICE to directly engage in an emotionally mature relationship where obedience and service is where they derive their greatest joy and happiness. A slave with "no will" is of little value because he essentially has "no responsibility" to do the work of being a slave. A slave with "will" wants a Master who has the leadership skills, maturity and life skills to entrust with the well being of his life. And most so called Master ‘s just really aren't up to that challenge, neither that level of commitment nor that degree of accepting responsibility.”
