Do you submit to your Master's will? If you do, that is all you need to concern yourself with. And for what it's worth, my Master does not "beat" me. He loathes the word, beating. He might flog me or belt me, or spank me, etc., but to him, "beating" denotes an uncontrolled infliction of corporal punishment, with no regard to the safety or well being of the subject being beaten. This is not everyone's definition of it, obviously, but I am not allowed to use that word in reference to him, because of how he feels about it. He takes great care to not harm me, and to not give me more than I can physically or emotionally take, so he does not like me referring to him in such a negative (in his opinion) way. Having said that, I do not like pain at all. When he pulls out his whipping implement of choice, I cringe and brace myself, and it's all I can do to not beg him to spare me, please! He doesn't care if I like it or not. He knows he won't be damaging me, and sometimes he just wants me to feel pain. I submit to his will and take it. But whether it's a whipping or whether it's shining his work shoes, I am submitting to his will and doing what he wants. This makes me submissive to him. You will find that many people have varying defintions of certain words - slave, submissive, Master/Mistress, dominant, and now - even beating. I am my Master's slave because what I am to him fits our shared definition of what that is. As I said, if you are submitting to his will and you are both fulfilled by that, then do not worry what others feel the need to say you are...or are not. You and your Master know.
