LuckyAlbatross -> RE: I am only owned until........ (8/18/2007 10:14:40 PM)

When I was owned, what ended it was being given release after asking for it.  Otherwise, one or both of us changing the expectations on which the relationship was based would have ended it.

Very interesting and well written post, luci.  I hope the responders will follow your fine example and give thoughtful answers.  As for me, I have no interest in having a slave or anyone else in my life who doesn't want to be in it.  That would be way too much drama for me.  If my slave tells me that she wants to be released, I will release her.  In fact it happened once about 8months after she became my slave.  She asked for release and I sadly granted it.  We talked it over and resolved the issue that had prompted her to ask for release and she decided she wanted to remain my slave.  But if she had still wanted to be released I would have not been angry and I would have helped her in finding a new master if that's what she wanted or helped her to find a new place to live and move her and would have remained a friend to her.  The only reason I would take my collar off her neck and disown her would be if she lied to me or stole from me or had a sexual relationnship with another without my permission or did anything that was against the rules we agreed to before bcoming master and slave.  Disobedience is a nonissue because she always obeys even when she doesn't want to and she enjoys punishment so that is never a threat to her.  She looks forward to it.  She can be disobedient but never disrespectful.  But since our relationship is based on our mutual desire and benefit the only way that I can see either of us wanting it to end would be if one or the other stopped recieving the benefits that we received now.  The motivation for us to be master and slave would have to end for either of us to no longer want this.  My slave doesn't have a car or a drivers license but not becuase I don't allow it.  She is a right leg amputee and has to have special equipment installed in order to be issued a license and I'm working on making that happen but it takes some time.  She doesn't work outside the home because she gets a veteran's pension and I wanted a domestic slave to be at home for my use and pleasure.  She does go out to do volunteer work and she goes to the Y to workout.  She isn't a prisoner and if she wanted to leave she could do it even without a car.  I go to work everynight and she could get someone to help her move and I would not have any idea she was gone until I got home and I wouldn't have any idea where she could be.  I would call her cell phone and hope that she would answer and I would send her emails but I wouldn't hunt her down to bring her back.  Once gone she would stay gone.  But I would let her know how much hurt her leaving had caused me.  But that would be that and I would move on.  Hope this gives you another perspective on this issue.

Hello all.  Please bear with me as I try to put my question into words as clearly as possible.  First, I'll state the question to which I'm seeking answers and then explain a little bit about why I'm asking.

The question:  As a slave/owned property, what (if anything) could terminate your position as such? 

I ask this because over time I have seen many different scenarios described here.  I hope it will offend no one if I use specific examples.  For instance, daddysprop has explained that her master has taken many concrete steps to insure that she will never be other than a slave.  He is her legal guardian, she does not work, drive, or do any number of other independent things in the "outside world."  He has even "willed her," so to speak, to another in the event of his death.  It appears that she is his property and nothing she can do is going to change that.

On the other hand, Knight of Mists and Kyra and I all had an exchange once where it was said that she is his slave only so long as she obeys him.  When she withdraws her obedience, she has withdrawn her desire to remain his slave.  Not that mistakes mean she is no longer owned, just that willful disobedience is not something he will tolerate and it means that she has decided she no longer wishes to be his slave.  (I'm paraphrasing - from memory no less, so if I'm mistaken please clarify Knight or Kyra[:)]).

Then recently, I've read some threads that kind of touch on this subject and just today I read a post about a slave who was owned for years and that just ended this week.  I have no idea about any specifics but it got me wondering again.  Without flaming, fighting, or negative comparisions, I would love to hear what slaves and/or owners have to say about my question.  Again what, if anything, could you as a slave do to end your slavery?  As an owner, what could your slave do (if anything) to end his/her slavery?

As I stated the first time I posted on this subject, I fall somewhere in between daddysprop and Kyra (but closer to the end of the spectrum where daddysprop is).  By this I mean:  when I became Master's slave, it was made clear that I am His property for life.  Once I made the decision to become that, my freedom to choose to not be it in the future was gone.  I know some may find that extreme but that is the agreement that we have.  It is not to be judged as right or wrong by others.  It is simply how it is for us

I can absolutely see that, for some, willful disobedience could end their slavery and that's fine for them.  However, as my Master and I see it, if my own willful disobedience could end my slavery, if I wanted out all I would have to do is continue to be willfully disobedient and then I'd "get my way" and be released.  He has made it clear that that is not going to happen.  Willful disobedience is going to bring correction and then punishment, if necessary, but never release.  I'm not saying that is the "right" way, just that it's our way.  Further, it's not really an issue since I am not willfully disobedient, but we're speaking in hypotheticals here, ok?[;)]

In addition, though Master has not taken the steps that daddysprop's master has as far as control of her situation, money, etc., I am convinced that were I to attempt to leave, He would do everything within His power to insure that it would be very difficult.  There is also no doubt in my mind that He would "track me down" and bring me back to Him either because He has said as much.  When I became His property, it was for real and to Him that means forever.  I can't just do it until I don't want to anymore and then leave. 

Again, I'm not saying that's the case for others.  I'm not comparing and finding our way better.  I'm just explaining how our relationship works and asking how yours does.  So......slaves/property and your Masters/Owners......would you please be so kind as to tell me how this works for you?  And please, guys, take no offense at how I've stated anything or from how others may feel.  I'm simply very curious to see all the different viewpoints.

Thanks so much[:)].....................luci




trustingsubHF -> RE: I am only owned until........ (8/19/2007 4:52:28 AM)

i am sure that there are many different views on this topic... i would say that you are owned until there is either: abuse, reason to grant your dismissal (at your request) or death. other than these options, it is forever!

BeingChewsie -> RE: I am only owned until........ (8/19/2007 6:01:51 AM)

Quick reply:

He could just decide to dismiss me for no reason at all except he wants too, however unlikely that scenario is, it is a possibility.

If I decide that I no long wish to be his slave, I am not going to be passive aggressive about it and disobey so I can be released.  If I no longer wish to be his slave, I would be rather direct and ask to be released


I guess I was thinking about a situation where a slave HAD asked and been refused release.  If willful disobedience was cause for dismissal and a slave's request had already been denied, then would the slave feel that acting out would get them released?


What you have just described is a non-consensual relationship.  One partner no longer wants to be in the relationship with the other but they refuse to allow them to end the relationship.  To me that sound like a recipe for disaster, a relationship on its way to abuse if it isn't already there and not something that resembles the M/s and D/s relationships that I have had the privilege to witness.

In my opinion, once consent is removed from the activities, those activities cease being lifestyle, BDSM, M/s, D/s, WIITWD, Leather or pick your own description.  When someone wants to do something to someone else without their consent, I will not consider them to fall under the umbrella of BDSM, M/s, etc. even though their activities may resemble some of the things I do.  The absence of consent changes the entire context for me.

Again what, if anything, could you as a slave do to end your slavery? 


I'll start off by saying (and I have not read all the replies, so I do not know if this was addressed already) that I see these as quite different questions- the first seems to be more of an external question (what could cause), the other internal (what could you do).
Anyway...
To address the first question, the answer is clear- I would no longer be my Master's slave if he decided he did not want me to be such any longer. That would be the main thing that could determine if I am still a slave to him or not, outside of my taking action if I needed to.

The second question is more tangled for me. I think the only reason I would leave is if I was harmed in a way that was beyond repair by my Master- in which case, I would withdraw my consent, and pack my bags. I have never really thought of leaving him, though, and this would be rediculously hard for me to do...but the damage would have to be incredibly extreme for me to even consider it.

I more or less see myself as his for as long as he wants me.

Hope this helps-

junecleaver -> RE: I am only owned until........ (8/19/2007 9:56:28 AM)

It's not something I think about a lot.  In general...if the relationship ended on good terms, I would ask for release.  If the relationship ended because I felt like I was mistreated in some way, I wouldn't bother to show that respect to my ex-partner.

In my current relationship, we plan on his ownership being a permanent thing.  When we first started dating and even after we agreed that he would be in control, I wasn't sure this was a forever thing.  But with time, I have realized that it is going to be a forever thing which he has chosen to signify not only by collaring me but also by putting a ring on my finger.  He has gone out of his way to say in action and word, 'I want to own you forever.' 

So I think that disobedience would get me an unpleasant ass-beating, as opposed to being released.  I don't enjoy being beaten even when it's not for punishment and I can only imagine how horrible it is when feelings of disappointment/hurt/anger are behind each whack.  It's definitely not a feeling of, 'Whee, I can do whatever I want because you aren't going to release me!'  It's more like, 'I love you and I want to make you happy and I definitely don't want to make you so unhappy as to get my ass beaten.'

I understand.  Upon leaving, it would be very hard to get that level of trust back again for sure.  Master has made it clear that He would bring me back but, as I've said so many times, it's all hypothetical as I'd have to be totally insane to ever want to leave[:D]

That's a great answer.  It certainly sounds like a fair description of a non-consensual relationship.  However, I would add that I don't think that would always be the case.  Let me explain:  First of all, I sincerely hope that my Master is not coming off looking badly by what I've posted throughout this thread.  He is a wonderful Man and is not now nor will He ever hold me hostage or prisoner. 

When I speak of Him saying I can never leave or that, if I did, He'd bring me back, it may sound extreme or potentially abusive to some.  However, we have had heart-to-heart discussions about just why He feels that way and just what it means.  In a nutshell, He and I both know that He (and our relationship) is the best, most positive thing that has ever happened in my life.  Period.  He also feels that I (and our relationship) is the best, most positive thing that has ever happened in his life.  Period.  No doubt about this.

Working from this knowledge it is His feeling that, if I were to ever decide I should leave, I'm not thinking too clearly.  He is exactly right.  We love each other heart and soul and we communicate openly and effectively.  He does not allow me to withhold my feelings and thoughts and to seethe silently, so to speak.  We discuss any issue when and if it arises.  Therefore, no resentment ever builds up and we're always on the same page working back toward perfect happiness (or as close as we can humanly get).

If one day I suddenly said that I felt we should part ways, He could correctly infer that I've lost it[8D].  No, He's not just gonna let me pack up and leave.  Yes, He's gonna come and get me wherever I go.  He knows with all His heart that my place is with Him and, if that ever happened, He would know I'm not doing what is best for myself by leaving Him and our home.

I've said here before that it sometimes seems that He loves me more than I love myself.  He sure insists that I take better care of myself than I ever did before I was His.  I have great self-esteem and confidence and all that jazz but He cherishes me and that's not something I can ever say I've done for myself.  I need Him in my life.  Sure I'd survive alright without Him but I don't want to as long as I have the option of being by His side.  He told me once that if things ever got to the point where He thought I'd be better off without Him, He'd let me go.  We both know that's never going to happen because neither of us want to part.

I just wanted to share that because, upon reading some other very well-written and beautiful replies, I feared that Master was perhaps not being presented in the best light.  I just wanted to clarify.  Forgive my rambling..............luci

Our relationship is based on trust.  If the trust is broken there would be nothing to rebuild on.  Theres no reason for her to lie to me or steal from me or go behind my back and cheat on me just as theres no reason for me to do that to her.  If she did any of those things it would be over.  Just as if I were to do any of those things to her she would feel the same betrayal and would not be able to trust me again.  We both know there are no guarantees and the only thing we have to go by is our word and we rely on each of us keeping our word.  When we cant rely on that anymore then theres nothing to hold on to and its over.  I know she is the type of person that she would ask for release rather than cheat on me.  She would have to have a major change in her personal characteristics to become a liar or thief.  Its not in her to do tose things now.

daddysprop247 -> RE: I am only owned until........ (8/19/2007 8:26:58 PM)

great thread luci, i've been really intrigued by some of the replies...especially the idea of being released for no particular reason at all, just because. that is something that didn't occur to me as well, but i suppose it's a possibility for some, even for me, tho like Chewsie said it doesn't seem very likely.

as you correctly stated, there is nothing i can do to terminate my slavery, only my Master can let me go. however he has granted me the priviledge of begging release...it may seem odd considering the fact that he would never grant such a request (has outright stated as much), but it would let him know that i felt hopeless and didn't want to be here anymore. but i definitely cannot forsee that happening...being his slave is the most precious, beautiful thing i ever could have envisioned happening in my life. the closest i have come to wishing for release would be a couple of years into our union when my depression was at its absolute worst, and i was suicidal. i would beg him, all the time...either kill me or let me die. then i tried taking things into my own hands...He saved my life, as he said, because it was not mine to take.

so i guess the bottom line is that i can only cease to be his slave if he releases me, and he'd only be likely to release me over some very grave offense...maybe if i intentionally harmed his son, or suffered brain damage which completely changed my personality so that i was no longer submissive. my being unhappy...severely depressed even...he would not see such things as reasons to release me. while he prefers a happy slave, he certainly doesn't see it as mandatory or find the service of an unhappy slave to be less in any way.
