ORIGINAL: Real0ne Take that away, what the slave needs to fulfill their own personal needs in the relationship and you can throw "Slave Heart, SlaveHood, Slave to the Core" right out the window with it. Therefore these terms do not exist in reality and these terms are nothing more than a fantasy and a catchy plug for the abusive to snag their next victim. Sorry, RO, but I have to disagree here. A person with a slave's heart has their own personal need. The need to be owned. Without that sense of being owned, of being the property of another, their need is NOT being met. You may disagree with the concept, but that doesn't change the reality of what some people experience and feel. You can object to the terms all you like, but there are people out there who have a slave heart. There are relationships out there that encourage, enforce, and allow the slave to experience their "slavehood". Being "slave to the core" is a reality for many people. I have known many who claimed to be "slave" who are no more slave than I am. I have known many who would argue till doomsday that they were not a slave but they do have a slave heart and are, in fact, "slave to the core" but they simply can't accept the term because of emotional or societal baggage. Whatever label you put on the person doesn't change the nature of who or what they are, any more than calling "lilac" "light purple" changes the nature of that color. There are abusers operating under the guise of BDSM out their who use the lingo to their advantage, that I will grant. Just as in the vanilla world there are those who use the term "marriage" as a license and excuse to abuse their spouse. The actions of the few do not invalidate the experiences, needs, and desires of the many. A slave having their needs and desires met doesn't mean "slavery doesn't exist". It means that the Owner is a decent, responsible, caring human being who values his/her property and wants to have the use of their property for a long time. Sometimes it becomes more than that and we grow to love our slaves and they grow to love their Owners. YIK, - Geoff
