ORIGINAL: hausboy Your profile says you are in Denmark. The contract is issued from someone in South Africa. I may be a product of the public school system, but last time I checked, that was a considerably long distance. So unless your Domme has really long legs.... which I doubt...or you plan to move there sight unseen...which is foolish.... this is, as LNT stated: a fantasy. If the fantasy works for you both, go for it. Slave contracts are not considered a legally binding document (at least not in the states) ...I am not qualified to tell you if it is binding where you are (or her) It may be significant to you and her personally, and that's a whole other matter. Be wary if this involves money--if so, I would consider it a complete scam. That made me laugh. OP what LNT and Hausboy said, covers the conserns, and slave contracts are only good between you two, and invalid to the legal system, I would imagine in most countries. I would actually like slave contracts to be binding, when entered into by two or more consenting adults, just like marriage contracts. M just call it something else and go to a good lawyer. A legal contract is an obligation, and you can get a lawyer to write something legally binding for almost anything. You say that slave word though, and since that such a loaded word nowadays it won't be legal any time soon. quote:

ORIGINAL: LafayetteLady Logically and legally for a contract to be binding, it can not contain illegal activities. Since slavery itslef is illegal, regardless of the activities, that makes it impossible. I'm with you there. quote:
Further, the ability to say it was signed under duress would be a near no brainer to prove. Common sense should tell you how easy it would be to take advantage of vulnerable people (regardless of "age of consent). Really? Even if someone was psychologically/intellectually tested for for being of average/better intelligence, sound mind, and with a lawyer or two as withnesses? I'm not saying it will be legal, but are you trying to tell me people of age who do BDSM are easily shown to be incompetent or vulnerable. If the contract is officially called a slave contract, or has anything in it that is considered illegal, there is no way any court will find the contract legal, and it is almost guaranteed the court will say signee is not of sound mind or body. If you want proof just go look in the news section. quote:
ORIGINAL: SexyBossyBBW Thank you for this much response. I know this will never become law, given the potentially unfair nature of D/s, or M/s relationships. What makes me nervous, and makes me wish for a legal out, is when people have some sadism/masochism mixed in their relationships. If someone goes to the hospital, with bruises, or looking battered, some overzealous health care worker might get one prosecuted, or at least looked at as a suspected abuser, given the evidence. It's one of the reasons, casual play has never been my thing. That is the risk everyone in the scene takes. There is no out if some overzealous moron wants to ignore the person in the hospital. What is being done is mostly illegal. A domme of any stripe that leaves any marks takes legal risk.
