i tried to be a loyal slave in this dominant relationship but there were more reasons then one of why i left him. the main one other then the cheating was telling me he'd kill me and went on saying how he would do it...i don't need an abusive master....im only playing out this role to an extent. i dont need to be mistreated.
If you don't NEED to be mistreated, stop calling yourself a "slave." That's just asking for it.
I've been active in the BDSM scene for over 20 years now, so I think I have some perspective on this. The difference between a Master/slave relationship and a Dominant/submissive relationship is vast, and widely misunderstood, ESPECIALLY by people who are new to the scene.
I'm not going to get into it in depth here, unless someone specifically asks me to. Just suffice it to say that we all know what a slave is. The definition is as clear as a bell, unless you've been living in a cave for the past 300 years.
People who enter into true Master/slave BDSM relationships do so because they need to give every bit of power and responsibility over to someone else. True BDSM slaves, by definition, have no rights. In other words, what is slave-like about retaining any control over yourself? Answer: Nothing. That's why there are so few real slaves. Like I said -- I'm been in the scene for 24 years now, and I've only met two or three real slaves. A couple of men and one woman, so far as I remember. And I can tell you that they were SERIOUSLY damaged people.
On the other hand, I've met hundreds of people who CLAIMED to be slaves. They are just very mainipulative people who think that "slave status" makes them special, and gives them the right to expect and demand things of their "Master," (since women willing to call themselves a slave are hard to come by). In reality, most men who call themselves a Master and really are of that mindset are pretty lonely people. Women who call themselves "slave" are usually just huge drama queens who love to complain online about how they are abused. They LOVE it when naive, desperate men reply with "oh, how awful -- I'D come to your rescue, if only you'd let me..." usually followed by vicious fighting amongst the members of the site about this woman's right to call herself whatever she wants, and how calling herself a slave doesn't give any man the right to abuse her. And so the cycle continues.
Bottom line: Calling yourself "slave" is just asking for trouble if you aren't willing to accept a Master's right to complete dominion over you. SO DON'T DO IT. Call yourself what you really are (a submissive).
If you insist on continuing to ask for trouble, fine. But don't go online whining about how you got what you asked for.
