ORIGINAL: badlilthang *** i see You call Yourself a Dom - when You do not own a slave - but what - in Your opinion - should a slave call herself when not owned? This is asked seriously...because i feel i am who i am - owned or not?*** For some people the title of master or slave is just that: a title. So it is just fine that it is use and not used based on if they are in that role at the time. no problem. that works, good for them. For some people (perhaps like you and me), the term master or slave is more of an orientaion. I do not stop being heterosexual or homosexual if i am not in a relationship because those term identify our orientation. We use these term to identify who we are and what we feel in our hearts and soul, not what our current status is with a relationship. using the identifer of "unowned" or "collared" is what identifys us as currently being in a relationship or not. you are fine using the term slave if you feel you deserve it.. Now that brings up a whole new can of worms... if you identify as a master or slave, people will assume, expect a level of behavior. the problem is sorting out WHOSE level you will live up to.. and the reality is it has to be your choice.. not some unintelligent HNG who says you have no rights since you use the term 'slave'.. but your choice in what level of behaviors you will live up to. you choose your partner, your groups, your friends, your leatherfamily, your clubs, all based on your own code of ethics. Opps, looks around to see she is on the soap box and no one is around.. stepping down quiely.....
