Kept In A Cage At All Times - 10/30/2004 2:16:22 PM

The "Interests" list doesn't contain simply "Caging" as an option, but rather "Kept In A Cage At All Times." More and more, I've seen women's profiles in which this item is selected, particularly among those who present as slaves, and seeming a bit more common for those under 30. Some obervations (positive) in search of perspecitves . . . .

I'm not at all conflicted about caging. For a slave in my household, being locked naked inside a cage, and for extended periods of time, has been and will be an integral part of the life she has chosen. Being kept in a cage at all times, however, extends beyond this, the pivotal word being "all". In essence, it implies something approaching 24/7 physical confinement and captivity (and so it doesn't matter if the "container" is a cage or a cell). I'm also not at all conflicted about a slave being kept in permanent captivity, provided it was part of the shared vision of enslavement. But I'm wondering . . . .

For those who have included this in your "Interests," do you genuinely mean "at all times"? And what is it about this that makes it appealing and desirable? In envisioning life as a slave, how do you envision the reality? Does your vision include understanding that this would be a life of limited intellectual and social stimulation and interaction. and the possible consequences? Does it include understanding that your raison d'etre would be essentially reduced to use? Does it include understanding that this represents virtually complete objectification, that your very existence would be little more than that of a sentient animal?

Personally, I have no conflict, ethically or otherwise, with any of this. Quite the contrary, in fact. However, I know, on the one hand, why I would be most willing to pursue this path with a slave who shared such a vision. On the other hand, I am curious about what those who select this as an interest actually intend, and why they are drawn to it.

Hi poolman, this was discussed recently here:

....being caged at all times

Hiya Michael...

I think this is a case of taking things a little too literally. The interest section of collarme i'm sure was made by someone obviously ignorant of the REAL lifestyle and probably more geared to fantasy. I remember filling out my profile, looking at the interests section and shaking my head a little. I mean, where is "bondage" even? Silly, i wouldn't pay much attention to it.

In fact i'd even take many of the profiles here with a pinch of salt.

:)

Did any of your previous caged slaves ever answer any of these questions?

I'm surprised no one's pointed this out yet. I had this interest checked before. The reason I had it checked is that when it offers the interests for you to select, the interest is simply called "cafe play." I like cage play, so I checked it. However, it took me a while to notice that the selection "cage play" shows up on the profile as "kept in cage at all times." When I noticed this, I removed it. This is probably why so many subs have that interest selected - they thought they were selecting something else.

lol...I believe it to be a typo...but I also had the mental images of cafe play. Dragging a a girl, clad inly in her latex starbucks apron, by her hair so that she can brew up a huge triple shot mocha for me. mmm...mocha (Makes a few notes)

I think the selection offered under "Interests" is extremely limited and in very black and white terms. I do know of slaves that have spent long periods of time in a cage, but I have yet to meet any that are kept in one "constantly".

i was a slave for some time in a household where the rule was that i would be confined (caged or closeted) *when not in use.*

it reinforced my whole identity as a slave and was a fascinating experience. the only times this really happened was when my owner would go to work on a weekend or go out to dinner with friends and i would be left alone. (the risk was something that we had figured out)

then i'd be locked in a cage or a closet until my owner came back or, if taken to work, then locked in a closet until my owner was ready to go home. for me, it really kept me focused. for my owner, it meant that i was under control even when otherwise occupied.
