Oh boy, this is tougher than you think. Master and I discuss this often. We came from different places in our definitions of sub/slave and Master/Dom. Before Master and I met, I thought of myself as a slave and He thought of Himself as a Dom. My views were that a Dom/sub relationship is that of the bedroom- other than scenes (which would be totally negotiable) the relationship is pretty much equal or vanilla. I saw an M/s relationship as one that encompassed the psychological as well as the physical; encompassing 24/7 ownership. He viewed slaves as not requiring care or consideration- not to be cherished as he would His sub. So, we did not define ourselves. But, He is a Dominant who finds his greatest pleasure in the mindfuck - maybe more than any other aspect of power exchange. He owns me, He molds me to His vision of me, He controls me. So, to my mind and experience- He is a Master. At one point, I asked permission to call him Master. He had never considered Himself a Master before, but it fit. So, to answer the question. Master is Master. I am still somewhere on the continuum of sub---slave. I think I lean more towards slave, but Master has not changed His definition of such, so I must use His nomenclature and call myself a "collared sub". I do hope some of this makes sense. It is past my bedtime[:o].
