ORIGINAL: Bravado I'm not so stupid as to believe that there are any "true slaves" among the privileged people in the world, so I expect that any sub will have some tangible needs and expectations. When they argue that they have no such needs and are ready to commit themselves to be permanent property, I wonder if they even realize that it is a lie. That would depend upon what you are defining as a "true slave". If you delve into the many definitions, connotations and applications of the word, you may find there is no "true slave" in various applications. In an IT application, slave would not be applicable to just about any conversation on this forum, so I could easily say there has never and will never be a living slave. quote:
If they knew what true slavery was, then they wouldn't be asking for it. If you have the audacity to claim it's something you enjoy and want me to show you what true slavery is, come along, I have plenty of stones to haul and a place to dump your body when you've died of exhaustion. Now here you are alluding to a type of slavery at least. You should define this in the beginning of your post though, as this will prevent miscommunication. From what I gather is you believe that forced and unconsentual slavery is the only true slavery there is? quote:
While I respect that a person may have fantasies, and would like to roleplay the kink of being a real slave, I'm sure I can't be the only one that is annoyed when he is approached by a girl who attempts to convince you that she's the traditional definition of a slave and ready to serve as though all other BDSM slaves are posers. Is there a possibility that what they mean as a slave, and what you believe a slave is, could be two different things? From just the beginning of this post you show that you are not the best at setting things up for good communication. quote:
I'm willing to believe that someone out there masturbates to the idea of building a pyramid in the desert for a decade of unrewarded effort until their demise, but I don't think that person is a young white girl who hasn't worked for a decade in any job, let alone something brutal and unforgiving. Again you allude to the type of slave you are speaking of, but this comment suggest that only the historical manual labor slaves are true slaves. What of the slaves that did various other jobs, some of which were even being teachers, accountants, researchers, scribes, etc? Based upon your two areas where you have alluded to what you define a slave is, then only manual labor slaves are "true slaves". quote:
Do you suppose these people know that they are lying, or have lost themselves in a delusional fantasy? Have you had any experience relevant to the idea of a "true slave?" Some are just role playing things, some though actually have the psyche that can be molded so that they are internally enslaved. Many have a desire to be used and possibly abused in many ways, and their drives to compel them to act and react in certain ways. There is a site on internal enslavement, and many sites on power exchange relationships that maybe you should read. That is if you really want to educate yourself. quote:
This topic was inspired by the recent news, in which many Nigerian slaves were discovered being trafficked, which is unfortunately fairly common. I have great pity for those people, and their plight makes me wonder how any could convince themselves that it's what they want. Actually this topic is just troll bait, as you do not seem stupid enough to not know what the people on a BDSM site mean when they say the word "slave". Then again, you might be since I see pages of responses I have yet to read. Subjecting someone else to your will, exerting control through any means, having actions done remotely, is done to a slave. There are many forms of slavery, as most slavery is internal and only the most noticable is the forced and external kind.

When speaking of slaves people always tend to ignore this definition "One who is abjectly subservient to a specified person or influence."
