You are a slave by choice; your Master’s and Mistress' slave by His or Her consent.
You are among the
few – one of those people who is able to live your dream. When accepting your
Owner's collar, You do so with the knowledge that your life will be changed,
and that your outlook will have to change to accommodate it. You
began in training and remain in training – it is a process that has no
end. You continue to learn how to put your Master’s needs and
desires ahead of your own at all times. You continue to learn
appreciation for service, both when it brings you joy and when you would prefer
solitude and your own pursuits. You continue to learn how to accept
the answers you are given, and how to be accountable for your own
behavior, as judged solely by your Master. You continue to discover the
true meaning of unquestioning obedience and unfailingly loyalty. Your
Master has assumed a great responsibility for you, and must be responded to in
kind.
This slave' Duties include but are not limited to:
1. Self-Awareness & Personal Growth.
2. Service.
3. Obedience.
4. Attitude & Respect.
5. Acceptance of Discipline.
6. Sexuality.
We will deal with these aspects of the slaves guidelines individually.
1. Self-Awareness & Personal Growth:
My first duty is to myself. Without a healthy amount of
self-respect and a firm belief in the validity of my choices, I can be of no
use to anyone, particularly my Owner. I will remember that slavery is not
about low self-esteem or self-deprecation. It’s not about avoiding
life’s responsibilities at another’s expense. It’s not about being
or becoming a less intelligent person; rather it is about putting those
qualities to his best use. I must do my best to preserve and expand
my emotional health, maintain my sense of clarity and purpose, and uphold my
willingness to carry on despite mistakes. I must be aware of my strengths and
talents, and must gladly offer them to my Master for His own purposes.
From the most exhilarating sexual experience to the most mundane task, whatever
I do should be geared toward the growth of the relationship and my personal
growth within it. I must always be willing to learn and expand my
horizons for the betterment of the relationship. I am not victim
and I can never be productive by thinking in those terms. I must accept
responsibility for my behaviour alone. My training is not designed
to create the perfect Master, but instead to transform me into the ideal slave.
This thought should remain foremost in my mind. My Master may still seek
my opinions, and when asked, I will offer them with honesty. In all
cases I must remember that as valuable as I consider my counsel to be, in the
end, only my Master can determine its importance. My duty is to
honour His choices and express gratitude for the small part I may have played
in them.
2. Service:
Becoming a good slave is a challenging aspiration, and one that requires
practice and perseverance. Everything I do in the context of the relationship
is meant to be of service. Whether His mood is lenient or strict, demanding or
relaxed, my Master expects me to serve Him in any number of ways, and at His
convenience. It is my duty is to be aware of my Master’s comfort, familiarize
myself with His needs, His routines, His habits and His passions - and learn
how best to accommodate them. Those needs that aren’t anticipated should
be carried out instantly. Service should not draw attention to
itself. It is meant to be unobtrusive, yet always available.
My actions should never demand thanks or acknowledgment, nor should I lead my
Master to believe I expect them. I must remember that the best forms of
service weave themselves gracefully into the fabric of the experience without
disrupting the intricacies of its pattern. Service is not meant to
be inflicted, but interlaced.
3. Obedience:
Unhesitating obedience is my Master’s due. I am obliged to approach
my Master if obedience creates a question or concern, but only with the proper
attitude and only at the appropriate time. It is never correct to
disobey my Master in public or in any situation where His Mastery might come
into question by others. Obedience encourages others to think of my
Master as i do - worthy and blessed with the ability to rule effectively.
Obeying the rules set forth for me proves to my Master that I trust Him and am
willing to live by His codes and values. It teaches me what is
expected of me, and leaves no room for ambiguous notions of “blame.”
Obedience demonstrates to my Master that I am trustworthy and can be depended
upon.
4. Attitude and Respect:
The structured nature of a Master/slave relationship demands the acknowledgment
of a hierarchy. Within the larger structure, the adoration I feel
for my Master can be recognized through the use of a prescribed form of
address. I must address my Master by title when speaking to Him or
speaking about Him, unless we are in a situation where it would cause
embarrassment to Him or to others. Even at those times, I should
make every effort to recognize the differences between us. My Master must
always be approached with respect – with a tone of voice that does not indicate
anger, frustration or exasperation. I must ask for permission
to speak freely, and if it is granted, be certain that I can convey my thoughts
calmly, logically and without redundancy. I must remember that the
opportunity to use my voice is as easily lost as it is contracted, and I must
preserve an attitude of graciousness and gratefulness while speaking to my
Master. My demeanour is as important as the words I choose. The
appropriate stance is never determined or defiant, but open and
accepting. The preservation of “slave space” is of utmost importance, and
can be sustained by subduing uncultivated behaviours. I may be
playful, spontaneous or fun-loving, but cannot maintain my focus on servitude
if I am agitated, noisy or raucous. I must learn to demonstrate
self-restraint and moderation. It is impossible to be attentive if I am
engaged in activities that don’t include my Master. I will remember I am
the visible evidence of my Master’s training. Removing my clothes in my
Master's presence is not a sexual act but a symbolic one. Nudity
represents the removal of all barriers that would keep Him from His slave. It
indicates my desire to hide nothing and to keep no secrets. It is a
constant reminder of who I am and what that means. Nudity in His presence
is a privilege that allows me to slough off the imposed mantle of the outside
world and immerse myself in the world He has offered me.
5. Acceptance of Discipline:
Punishment is an electrifying gift. With it comes the return of
clarity and form, and the ability to reason based solely on the heart, not on social
precepts, which so often hold me back. It leaves me with a profound
understanding of structure, a reflective wisdom and a challenge for the
future. At its best, punishment produces gratitude. It is up to me
to understand the difference between punishment and discipline, and not to
confuse them. It is up to me to accept that punishment is part of
my life-style and can be administered without erotic elements, and as often as
is necessary to accomplish a change in unacceptable behaviours. It
is inappropriate for me to ask for punishment; my Master decides what behaviours
need correction and how best to correct them. It is appropriate, however,
for me to ask for His guidance in hopes of correcting a behaviour before it
reaches the punishment stage. Further, I must confess any and all
disobedience in accordance with the tenet of absolute honesty. An
infraction unconfessed is a lie. I must remember to ask for
explanations if I am unclear on something, and understand that failure to ask
will not absolve me from consequences.
6. Sexuality:
I do not determine any aspect of my sexuality. As with all other facets
of my life, my sexual drive, creativity and enjoyment are useful only in
service to my Master. I must remember that, in my Master's eyes, sexual
service is no more or less important than any of the other tasks I am
assigned. Failure to perform properly, or performance that lacks
enthusiasm is a sign of disrespect and is as punishable as any other act of
disobedience. I am obliged to meet my Master's sexual needs on demand, and
obliged to understand that I may be put to better use elsewhere. I must
remember that sexual release is a reward. My personal pleasure is not a
determining factor in sexual situations with my Master. I must strive to
please without regard to my own pleasure. To be sent away without release
should only be disappointing if I have failed my Master in some way, and that
disappointment can only be levelled at my own performance.
In all things I will remember that i have been allowed the freedom to live the
life I choose, and will express my gratitude for the gift my Master has
bestowed on me through dedication to His service, adherence to His rules,
obedience to His will and compliance to His desires.
