ORIGINAL: SirKaton Is it wrong to say one can be a submissive, but not necessarily a slave, but one cannot be a slave without being a submissive? Submission in my understanding is to a certain point not beyond what has been decided upon between a Dom/me and the sub (the whole concept of TPE). Slavery is a step beyond what typically is considered "normal" submission. Actually, yeah - it's wrong. Submission and slavery are only different in the individual or the individual relationship - meaning that one's submissive is another's slave, with exactly the same traits, qualities, behaviors and "degree of submission". Yes, they *are* different - but what those differences *are* are impossible to pin down, because they are too subjective and individual. Also - not all those who are slaves could also be called/identify as "a submissive". So, the "all slaves are submissive" bit isn't accurate either. All slaves are responsible to their owners - whether that includes submissive attitudes, behaviors, or personalities is totally up to those in the relationship.
