Heathers

Theirs is a relationship like no other. Lightly formal within their interaction with one another yet at the same time, deeper and closer than most people will ever have the luxury to experience. Their closeness comes from the knowledge and acceptance that the girl is His. His slave. His property.

He owns her to the core of her being. He not only loves her, with a greater passion and depth than He has ever known; He also cares for her. He cares for her that of a thoroughbred or fine luxury automobile, for that is what she is to Him. His possession. His most prized possession, to be handled with the greatest of care. He makes sure she is of top form physically and mentally. He wants her to be the best she can be at all times to serve Him as He wishes. He wants her fit and flexible so He exercises her daily, keeping her body sensual and strong, not only for His use and view when He looks upon her, but also for her own confidence in the beauty of her naked body when taking any position that He orders. He keeps her healthy feeding her only nutritious foods. He keeps her clean and beautiful, making sure her hands and feet are well manicured so that they are soft and supple when they touch upon His skin, Her hair is soft and silky when He runs His fingers through her hair should He desire to. her face is well kept and softly made up only enhancing her beauty should He care to gaze upon her face or into her eyes. He keeps her mind clear and fresh, free from toxins and impurities so that she is alert and bright in her servitude to Him. He shows her unconditional love and tenderness, as she is also a woman who needs to be shown she is desired, loved and cherished. He is kind and good to her, never breaking the undying trust she puts in Him. He keeps her from harm and protects her, keeping her safe, as she is His. He uses her for His pleasure. He enacts through her every desire and whim His dark deviant mind conceives. He is free to completely fulfill all His desires and fantasies with her. He takes her to her sexual peaks and edges, pushing her further each time. He exacts his luscious torments upon her trembling flesh as it pleasures His sadistic nature to do so. He is withheld nothing of her body or mind and He uses them both at his will. He keeps her slave. He holds her firm. Though speaking in kind manner, He orders directly to her as He would in giving a command to His trained German Shepherd. He does not mince words. He does not cruelly tease or torment her. He is forthright. He is honest. He orders her, asking her knowing she will obey without question or hesitation. He marks her. He whips her for she needs it to know she is His. He disciplines her, swiftly and effectively should she displease Him. He does not wait nor make promises of later. He lets her know she has displeased Him immediately, He tells her how to correct herself, as she should have done, then His punishment comes swift and exact. He does this so she will always know she will get away with nothing. She should never try. When He has punished her and she has suffered His wrath. She is forgiven. She is tenderly kissed and shown that she is still loved and treasured as the prize that she is to Him. He is beyond words with how deeply He loves this girl, this slave that has given herself to Him to completely possess for all her days.

she is owned. she has given herself to her Master, body, mind and soul. she is His to do with as He pleases. His pleasure and happiness are what she lives for. her every thought is derived with the intention of how she could please Him more. she is His instrument. her body is for His pleasure. Every orifice is open to Him. she pleases Him in anyway He should desire. she limits Him nothing. she denies Him no recess of her mind or body. she yields to His caress, His touch, and His whip. she desires the soft tender touch of His caress, the impression of His whispered words upon her mind, just as she does the crisp sting of His whip as He marks red her soft white flesh. she needs them all to feel her submission. she is His possession. His property. He is her world. Her thoughts and actions surround Him. she lives to see His pleasured smile, hear His contented sighs, and to feel His warm embrace. For then she knows He is pleased, He is happy. she knows that what is special about her is not only what she can do for her Master, but also what she gives to Him. she has given her being unto Him, her mind, her body, her soul are His and His alone, no longer owning herself. she gives Him complete obedience, blind faith and her absolute trust. she knows He could ask anything of her and she could deny Him nothing. For she has no right. Her mind is open to Him, her will has become His, and her body is now His vessel. she feels safe and secure. she is totally contented within His arms and His heart. she need no longer worry about protecting herself from harm emotionally nor physically. she is completely open for the first time. she has no barriers. she is His to probe, to love, to enjoy, to hurt, to pleasure, to use. she walks for the pleasuring His gaze; she sits near Him so she can be close at hand should He desire her or her service. she makes sure His physical needs are met, cooking for Him as well as any chef, honing her culinary skills to further please Him. she caters to His carnal sexual whims and desires, she is fully open to pleasure Him anyway He could imagine. she gives all she is. she cares for His emotional needs, she loves Him unconditionally, she accepts Him completely, she supports Him in all He does, His successes are hers, His stumbles are hers, she wants the best for Him always as is the best for her. His happiness is her happiness, His pleasure, her pleasure, His desires, her desires. she knows He cares for her better than He does Himself. she cares for Him better than He does Himself. she will never withdraw herself from Him; she will never turn away from Him. she is slave/sub. she is His

2. PSEUDO-SUBMISSIVE NON-SLAVE.
Not into even playing "slave," but into other "submissive" role-playing, e.g. schoolteacher scenes, infantilism, "forced" transvestism. Usually into humiliation, but NOT into servitude, even in play. Dictates the scene to a large degree.

3. PSEUDO-SUBMISSIVE PLAY SLAVE.
Likes to play at being a slave; likes to feel subservient; may in some cases like to feel one is being "used" to gratify partner's sadism; may even really serve the dominant in some ways, but only on the "slave's" own terms. Dictates the scene to a large degree; often fetishistic (e.g. foot worshippers).

4. TRUE SUBMISSIVE NON-SLAVE.
Really gives up control (only temporarily and within agreed-upon limits), but gets her/his main satisfaction from aspects of submission other than serving or being used by the dominant. Usually turned on by suspense, vulnerability, and/or giving up responsibility. Doesn't dictate the scene except in very general terms, but still seek mainly her/his own direct/pleasure (rather than getting one's pleasure mainly from pleasing the dominant). v

5. TRUE SUBMISSIVE PLAY SLAVE.
Really gives up control (though only temporarily; only during brief "scenes" and within limits) and gets main satisfaction from serving/being used by dominant-but only for FUN purposes, usually erotic. May/may not be into pain. If so, is turned on by pain indirectly, i.e. enjoys being the object of one's partner's sadism, on which the submissive places very few requirements or restrictions.

6. UNCOMMITTED SHORT-TERM BUT MORE THAN PLAY SEMI-SLAVE.
Really gives up control (usually within limits); wants to serve and be used by the dominant; wants to provide practical/non erotic as well as fun/erotic services; but only when the "slave" is in the mood. May even act as a full-time slave for, say, several days at a time, but is free to quit at any time (or at the end of the agreed upon several days). May or may not have long-term relationship with one's Mistress, but, either way, the "slave" has the final say over when she will serve.

7. PART-TIME CONSENSUAL-BUT REAL SLAVE.
Has an ongoing commitment to an owner/slave relationship and regards oneself as the dominant's property at all times. Wants to obey and please dom(me) in all aspects of life-practical/non erotic and fun/erotic. Devotes most of time to other commitments (e.g. job) but Dom has first pick of the slave's free time.

8. FULL-TIME LIVE IN CONSENSUAL SLAVE.
Within no more than a few broad limits/requirements, the slave regards herself/himself as existing solely for the Dom's pleasure/well being. Slave in turn expects to be regarded as a prized possession. Not much different from the situation of the traditional housewife, except that within the S/M world the slave's position is more likely to be fully consensual, especially of the slave is male. Within the S/M world, a full time "slave" arrangement is entered into with an explicit awareness of the magnitude carefully, with more awareness of the magnitude of power that is being given up, and hence is usually entered into much more carefully, with more awareness of the possible dangers, and with much clearer and more specific agreements than usually precede the traditional marriage.

9. CONSENSUAL TOTAL SLAVE WITH NO LIMITS.
A common fantasy ideal which probably doesn't exist in real life (except in authoritarian religious cults and other situations where the "consent" is induced by brainwashing and/or social or economic pressures, and hence isn't fully consensual). A few S/M purists will insist that you aren't really a slave unless you're willing to do absolutely anything for your Dom, with no limits at all.

As for sadists, I don?t doubt there are a few of them out there too. By a sadist, I mean someone who takes pleasure in inflicting pain irrespective of whether the victim enjoys it. A sadist enjoys the suffering of others; indeed, the more she suffers, the more it excites him. The fact that she does not enjoy it is confirmation of his power to do exactly as he likes. He doesn?t need her complicity. The only response he wants from her is a scream.

Such behaviour is pathological and has nothing to do with the practice of D/s. True, a Dom wishes to assert his power, and he enjoys causing her pain. But, and here?s the crucial difference, only if he knows that she wants it. He wants to know that she craves subjugation, that she hungers for the bite of the whip. To the untutored observer it may seem sometimes as if she is indeed being beaten against her will. But it is an essential component of a Dom?s skill that he knows the difference between pain willingly suffered for his sake, and pain that is brutally enforced. His whole relationship with her turns upon his knowledge of the difference, and his ability never to confuse the two.

Is there, even so, a touch of the sadist in every Dom? Perhaps. Do dark, primitive urges lurk in the inner recesses of his mind? It may be so, that every now and again he has a desire to push her further than he knows she can go. I?m not talking about testing her limits. Doms always do that; it?s part of their job. I?m talking about a sudden urge to thwack the strap against her bottom with all your might, far harder than you have ever done. I can?t say I?ve never had that urge. But I know I?ve got it under control. I don?t believe it?s the real me, I don?t think that under the civilised exterior lurks a savage beast waiting his chance to pounce. The most intense pleasure for me comes from knowing that I have the power to make her want to submit, not the power to force her to. And if ever I were tempted to overstep the limit, two things would hold me back. First, it would be against my own interests. It would destroy trust, and without trust there can be no meaningful D/s experience. It would ruin everything. And second, I?ve never yet spanked a girl?s bottom without I have first developed some tender feelings for her. In my fantasy I may want to spank a stranger, I may want to spank whole rows of them. In real life I know that it cannot not work unless I have first got to know her, and she me. So if I care about her, I wouldn?t want to be a sadist.
