In reply to Houdini I am not a leatherman. I am not a man. But I so admire Jack Rinella: for me he is a Master writer, an extraordinary activist and such a clear thinker that I read him to help me with my growth as a female switch. I found this and I am amazed at it's clarity; (There are writings on just about everything I have pondered on. So much for my post-modern feminism. http://www.leatherviews.com/aboutJack/jacksad2.htm EXPECTATIONS and REGULATIONS Concerning VOLUNTARY SERVITUDE This document sets out the ramifications of surrendering one's life to Mastery. After reading it you will have a fairly good sense of what to expect. It doesn't mean you shouldn't ask questions and get clarification. PREREQUISITES The onset of slavery begins once several conditions have been met. As shown here, they are sine qua non, that is without them, Voluntary Servitude can not proceed. The slave will demonstrate full knowledge of the ramifications of surrender and will accept the conditions of such without reservation or hesitation. It must be perfectly clear to both parties that it is a free, informed, and adult choice to enter into the relationship of voluntary servitude (henceforth referred to as "slavery"). Submission to this lifestyle under the dominance and control of a Master must be a free choice entered into by the slave without coercion or deceit.The Master will do his best to clarify the meaning, implications, and impact of slavery. On the slave's part, he must be willing to allow full knowledge of his person to his Master. This demands an open-openness and intimacy on the slave's part so that control over him can be complete, informed, and in the best interests of the Master.There needs to be a trial period of slavery to insure full understanding of the Master's conditions, requirements, and expectations. The Master will use this trial time to evaluate at close range the slave's appropriateness, motivations, and attitude.Throughout the slave's subjugation, he will demonstrate the following characteristics: -- an eagerness to learn what is expected of him as slave and to fulfill those expectations. -- an attitude that demonstrates the need and desire to be dominated. -- a response to the Master's commands, suggestions, and desires that proves his desire to please, serve, and live in a way that will meet the Master's conditions.The Master will provide for the slave's needs out of the slave's present and future resources and income. This provision will be according to the Master's allocation, not the slave's. GENERAL PRINCIPLES The rules of service may be summarized by four core statements defining the slave's position: Respect at all times.Surrender of physical control over all parts of the slave's body.The acceptance of discipline willingly.The attitude of thankfulness for whatever attention is bestowed by the Master. The following pages expand these rules and apply them to the definition of a complete lifestyle. First, though, you should know what to expect from me. THE MASTER'S RESPONSIBILITIES 1. He will respect the slave's need to fulfill certain obligations inherent in life, e.g., issues of health, nutrition, family obligations, occupation, finances, etc. Once slavery is begun, decisions in matters such as these will be made by the Master, not by the slave. For obvious reasons they may have the appearance of being the slave's decisions. Since the slave has chosen to be controlled, the Master's decisions will be the slave's decisions in a very real (albeit indirect) way. As necessary, the Master may include the slave in the decision making process, but only with the recognition that the slave's role will be one of advice, not direction, nor will it involve the slave in reclaiming decision-making authority for himself, except when specifically granted by the Master. 2. Once the slave is the Master's property, the Master will be responsible to keep him as healthy as possible. The Master will want to keep his property at full value and so will not command or treat the slave in a way that jeopardizes or diminishes his value. A healthy slave is a valuable one.
