I would truely hate to think that making the commitment of becoming M/s is based on "if somebody comes along that can do something better" your out the door.

Why does a slave care about being held above all others? If a slave came around who could do a better job of it, wouldn't she just be replaced?

I can understand if either or decided they no longer wished to live this life (which happens). The only reasoning Master ever gives to me of being sent away is if I stop serving. If it's a question of someone doing something better than I that He'd enjoy, then my training in that "area" would increase to improve or another option would be to extend the family to include another slave more proficient in that or those areas.

But why place your normal gloom and doom on the D/s M/s Side of it? Reality? Nilla, M/s whatever. If you have made an investment in someone and there is no ROI.. You end it. Simple.

I guess I can't imagine a Master that can't be imaginative enough to find alternate ways of using a slave He's already invested time into to train as long as the willingness and desire to serve that Master is there and going strong in the heart.

What I see from this statement is poor training from the Owner. I find it very difficult for a slave to "want and desire" to serve a said Master (taking this strictly from the standpoint that this slave has already been in the service for some time of said Master), and the failure to thusly see results with that "want and desire" as a poor reflection on the training they received.

Okay, but now your changing the scenerio to reflect one of "not" having already owned this slave for sometime, and them being in service to you. If your not then it's not good that you wouldn't of already known what their "limits" were before you took Ownership of them. That still has no real relevancy to "booting" a slave out because a perceived better slave caught your fancy. In that stance it just seems very much like a game or the persons involved not wanting to invest in a commitment. To each his own I guess :/.

OK so tweak it- I own a slave. For whatever reason, my priorities change. Or perhaps their priorities change. Or perhaps some yucky bad disaster happens. They are no longer the best fit to serve me.

The slave still wants to serve, but is unable to do so, through no fault of mine or theirs.

Giving the slave away, trading, or selling them is a perfectly viable option and in fact might be the best course for everyone involved.

If your prioritys change..if they are your slave then your prioritys become their prioritys as well and you teach them.

quote:

If it's just you want more, and has nothing to do with their initial limit agreements with you..then it still goes one way or the other..they want and desire to serve you still, or they do not.

quote:


If their prioritys change..then as your slave, if that change does not coincide with your willing to address them..then again, this would fall under "them no longer wanting to serve" you if they can not accept your ruling.

quote:


If the Owner has that little of value to place on a slave that they make that important of a commitment to Own in the first place as to dump them somewhere else because they lost an arm or leg due to a no fault of theirs or yours in an accident,

quote:


and the Owner is that shallow and unimaginative to have given value to that slave to find alternate ways to allow them to continue serving..

quote:


well imho it just doesn't say much about the Owners character. Not much of a Master if they have a slave in service that can no longer perform a certain service but can do many other things, and is very willing and wanting to do so, if they just toss them aside because another slave came along that can perform that one service.

Just because a slave wants and desires to serve doesn't mean they have what is useful for the master to use and no amount of training is going to change the facts!

I'm placing about as much value on this as this statement is indicating. Anything said beyond this has seemed to have alittle more passion and reasoning to it. That statement is shallow, valueless, and gives indication of just being passed off elsewhere because a better piece of ass came along.

This is very true KnightofMists Sir..however, shouldn't of this been determined before you came to Own them? Their want and desire to serve "you" in the first place is very important because without it..you have no slave.

(and yes ..back at own little cubby hole now)
