Today i was doing a little bit of blog surfing and i started thinking about my own personal slavery. There are times that Master will say that i need a reminder of who i am. Those are the times when i know my mouth perhaps has gotten a little too loud or too harsh (i never swear) or perhaps i've said to Him "You need to..." instead of "Don't forget to..." or something so simple as saying "Yes Master" in a nice clear voice and meaning it! i'll never stop needing reminders of my own slavery, i always need to be put back in my place after all this time.
Sometimes He micromanages me because that's what i need. Every once in a while He praises me because that's what i deserve. Sometimes when i try really hard to look good for Him and i miss the mark i get disappointed that's life. i'm His slave and i keep trying. Other times when i'm just getting dressed for the day, He loves how i look! Win. =)
Being able to call myself a slave to Master is huge, i'm not sure i "do" anything more in my life. Being His slave is what i do. i didn't just wake up one day and decide that i was going to become submissive or slave-like however. i'm not saying submission can't be learned, i am simply saying that's not how it happened for me. It was a life long process, one that i wasn't even fully aware of until i was an adult. Asking Master for His collar and becoming His slave has been a beautiful journey.
Which is why when i see these brand new blogs saying "I'm a slave" "I even did the laundry last week and didn't yell at him once" or "I let him screw me last night". i have such a hard time not posting and saying that they are making a mockery of our lifestyle. i have said many times that one of the things i love so much about this lifestyle is that there are no rules. It is what we make it so all i want to say is take some time, think about it before you jump in both feet first! Read, learn, talk to people, talk to each other and then read some more. How or why does this effect me? An uneducated person reads that particular blog and thinks "oh okay, that's what it's like to be a slave, i can do that!".... NOOO waiiiiiiiiit!!!!
Now i am in no way saying that people new to the lifestyle shouldn't post a blog or write about their new journey. The only thing i am saying is starting out this life armed with such little knowledge is what is so difficult to see. Before you so readily give each other a title, do your research and build up a good firm foundation of trust. For me it was reading a couple of journals, there were only a few really good ones back then. i was glued to my computer screen learning how those slaves lived their lives with their Masters. It was then that i learned how much work it would be, mentally more than physically really. More than anything i think it was by educating myself, reading more about the lifestyle, more about actual slavery did i learn what it was i wanted to be for Master. i saw what this life "could" be, i saw the dedication and that's what i wanted to become. Ten years later, i'm still not there yet, but some day i will be.
Master was clear on His expectations of me and what my physical transformation would be. i came equipped with the foundation of a submissive mind and heart. What i placed upon myself were expectations of what i believe Master's perfect slave could be. i only learned that though through time and self education. i will never be perfect, but at least i'll always keep trying and i will always have tons to learn.
i count on my fellow bloggers, readers and those who comment. i learn from each one of you. Well, except the spam comments, i don't speak Arabic! =p
Peace to you and yours,

On Being A "Professional" Master/slave
We've never, ever wanted to be mistaken for any of the countless people who claim to be a Master or slave when in reality, they just pretend for money. There's potentially a fine line in other folks' perception, and I've gone to considerable effort to never cross that line. My treasure writes here because she enjoys it, she loves to get and reply to comments and she also does it because I require it. In the beginning, it was a blog, nothing more, nothing less. In the last few years, it has become not only a blog, but also a hub for all of our online activity. Some of that activity is done simply for fun, some of it is to feed some sort of narcissistic need for kudos that I still deny having, and some of it is done to try to supplement our income by sharing our real life with others who might be willing to toss a few bucks our way for a small window into our normal activities. Normal for us but mere fantasies to them, things that they can't get at home or simply things that get their blood flowing south. Like most people, we started out never showing our faces, never being specific about where we live, blah blah blah. One day, I decided that I was tired of acting like I was ashamed of Myself or My girl, just so someone I knew wouldn't find a photo that would make them all butt hurt because of their own insecurities and closed-mindedness. In a very short time, we had started making videos and posting non-anonymous pictures all over the place. Eventually, My girl started doing live cam sessions for cash and it's become a multifaceted "business". That's why we're making this page. I didn't want it on the front page of the blog because this is still her blog, and always will be, but we wanted to add a page for some of the money-making things that we do.
About two years ago, we decided to test the waters with Kindle publishing. For a nominal fee of 99 cents a month, you can get this blog automatically delivered to your Kindle. Unfortunately, this makes it less likely for My girl to get the comments that she so loves, so if you decide to go the Kindle route, please come back here later to leave that comment you were thinking about!
Lately, we've had gentlemen ask if it was possible to buy My treasure's worn stockings. If worn stockings is what you seek, then we are happy to oblige. We've charged very reasonable amounts in the past, and that won't change. Pricing will depend entirely on quantity, color, availability, your location and any other variables or requests. We get her stockings from Europe, and we only order a few times a year, so we may have limited color options at any given time. If you're interested in My girl's worn stockings, or any other requests for that matter, please email her directly at precioustreasure_md@yahoo.com. We've done custom videos and would also be happy to do custom photosets. If it turns you on, and you think we can provide it, please don't hesitate to ask.
About 2 and a half years ago, we also decided to start making videos for sale. We've had a banner on the front page, but we've never really promoted it at all. Well, I'm not really going to promote it too much here either, but if you'd like to check out our clips, you can find them here. You can also find some of them here.
My treasure has also started working as a cam girl on ImLive. There's a banner on the front for this as well, but you can also click here or on the banner below to find her over there or schedule a meeting with her.
Banners here also!
I agree, whole-heartedly. That's probably why, although interested in the lifestyle, I don't consider myself a slave. I do, however, give huge cudos to those that CAN and DO slavery as a lifestyle.
ReplyDeleteThank you! slave, sub, Dom, Domme, Switch and those just beginning, there is so much to learn out here in blogland.
ReplyDeletei think people focus too much on the "who" instead of the "what". There is a huge focus on title these days. Wanting to rush into giving themselves a title instead of just learning about the lifestyle first. =)
