ORIGINAL: UniqueRaven The perception of "intensity" in a relationship is up to the individuals involved. i do make a distinction between being owned property and being slave, as it is possible to be a slave without being owned property. You could also probably be owned property without being slave (even though i've never seen it - but it could happen, i imagine). But either could be more intense - just like anything else, it depends upon the relationship. Sense actual ownership of another human being is of dubious legality, to be owned you have to in a way acquiesce to being owned and to assume the obligations of being owned and one of those obligations would be obedience well that's my thoughts Yes, we are speaking of consensual "ownership" here. i agree that it seems that one of the obligations of being owned would be obedience. But i know of some slaves on these boards who would disagree with that, and i tend to disagree as well. If a person owns a cat, is the cat obligated to obey? Most cats don't obey their owners, but they bring pleasure in their own way. A simple comparison i know, but it works for me. But this is not your original question - you asked which is "more intense."
