Focus50 -> RE: sub vs. slave? (3/26/2007 4:30:48 AM)

Probably the simplest way to explain it to lifestyle newbies is to rationalise it with a vanilla comparison. Instead of sub or slave, think woman or wife - the main difference being a commitment. Married or single, you never stop being a woman. All wives are women but not all women are wives, as it is with slave and sub. Wife and husband validate each others status, just as Master and slave does. If you don't have a Master, you're not validated as a slave but revert to what you always are - submissive. Even if it's decided you're now your partner's (or Master's) slave; you'll still be a sub - just as a wife is still a woman. Focus.
