i don't think it's as simple as a slave being "easy" or "hard" -- i know i was both easy and hard to train, and i have the stripes and welts to prove it, and the memories, the Ghosts of Slave Training Past... i was like a young horse, green as grass. The filly may be eager to run, eager to take the saddle, but she's unschooled. Where the hell is she going at such a gallop? Can she run like that all day? She has no idea. No matter how eager she is or isn't, her master will still have to train her to serve him well in a thousand different ways -- where to put her hooves, how to comport herself gracefully and show herself off to best advantage, how to bear the bit and the bridle and spurs and the quirt, how to bear his weight and his direction, how to carry him many more miles than she expected and then go further still, how to canter, trot and gallop at his command, how to jump and sprint and turn on a dime and ignore the other horses and riders and respond only to her master's reins; and more. The new slave girl may be dying to be enslaved, she may think she knows in her guts and her head as much as she can possibly know about what she is and what she wants and needs, and still not really know what she's asking for, or in my case begging for, or what it will really be like to experience it inescapably in the flesh. i had read my beloved Story of O a dozen times, and a dozen other lesser books, before i was really whipped for the first time, not just spanked lovingly by another giggling teenage switch girl. And none of it totally prepared me for the first kiss of the whip, or for that matter for the second, or the hundred and second. (Although thank God i had read Story of O, it gave me a name and a shape for what i was and the life i knew i needed but hadn't believed anyone else on earth could have the slightest desire for.) i was easy to enslave, all right, but i was still a challenge for my owners to turn me into the slave they wanted, and i'm told i'm still a challenge, and they're still in the process of turning me into exactly what they want me to be. (Of course their standards are a little higher now too, so i'm still sometimes the new filly, getting the spurs and the crop when i least expect them...)
