SuaveGentleman -> Slave rights? (2/19/2016 6:27:14 AM)

What does the community feel about consensual BDSM slave rights? I have heard some people claiming once a slave agrees to be a slave, its nada. I dont really agree with this opinion. For all its worth, both the master and the slave has the right to walk away when they feel so - you cannot detain them by any measure of the law. My personal view is that slaves are granted 3 rights: 1. Right to choose her / his owner. It is illegal and wrong for a master to pass off a slave to another master without the slave's consent. 2. Right to specify limits. Just because you tag yourself a slave does not and should not mean you have no limits. What does that term mean anyway, in the broadest sense? Apologies for the gory example, but if a slave is whipped to bleeding / death or trafficked, is it justifiable because (s)he said "no limits"? [Sidenote: I dont think any human being, especially anyone in the BDSM community, would ever do that to anyone. Just an example to make my point ] 3. Right to end the relationship. Yes, if a slave feels (s)he is deeply unhappy with the current arrangement, (s)he has the right to pack her bags (if she has one) and leave. In the event the slave is truly possession-less it should morally be the Master's responsibility to ensure she can sustain herself until she is self-sufficient / re-owned. What do you all feel about this? Side question - is there any BDSM contract that is actually legally valid (I think no)?
