Using fast reply: No matter how one tries to label folks, folks keep resisting. There is not one blanket definition of master, slave, dominant, submissive, top or bottom. There are general guidelines, such as the master/dominant/top being the guy in charge and the slave/submissive/bottom being the one acting on the guy in charge's wishes. Of course, I am textually referring to only the Male/female dynamic, however, I am leaving it to be understood that I do mean everyone without constantly having to type everyone. Because your personal definition of a master is such what you stated, zack, that doesn't mean that it holds true for everyone, nor should it. People are individuals, are proud of being individuals and are, by nature, birth and design, unique. We don't, generally speaking, look alike (other than in the case of twins, etc), none of us have exactly the same voice. While one may be covered in body hair, another will have little to none. While one's favorite color might be red, another's will be puce. With that understanding, how could one truly say, that a particular mindset applies to all of a group of individuals? Many masters are in search of someone to love, nuture and care for. It just happens that the person he's searching for is a person whose submissiveness will compliment and attune with his dominance. By the same token, many masters want nothing more than a piece of property that they have no emotional investment in. None of it is right or wrong, as long as it fulfills the needs of all parties involved and no one is harmed.
