Submissive or Slave, THAT... is the Question

I've had a lot of people argue with me, many times over the years, about what makes a person a slave, or a submissive. I'm sure that for ever how long I live, they, and others, will continue to argue about it. The good news is: I am allowed to have my own beliefs AND LIVE BY THEM! The better news is: If you don't like my beliefs, fine, have your own & live by your own as well. I'm not at all concerned about whether you LIKE the way I live. If you don't want to live MY way, Don't apply to be a submissive or slave for THIS HOUSE.

Simply put (and there are degrees)... A Submissive serves when (s)he wants to serve. When the want is fulfilled, (s)he quits and goes on with life in whatever way (s)he sees fit. A Slave on the other hand builds their entire life around service, whether to an individual or to a family or to an organization... or a combination of these entities, but take away this structure...and the Slave will strive to rebuild that structure and if unable to do so (s)he will pine away and suffer in a most delicious way.

Give a Submissive an order and (s)he will follow it literally...often to the detriment of their own health and wellbeing during a session because it's not about true service, it's about kink and limited fulfillment for short-term. Give a Slave an order, and (s)he will follow it within surprisingly wide parameters that fit into the House rules and work for the longterm good of that House. IF the order is detrimental to the house, the Slave WILL DISOBEY and take punishment for disobedience then explain if allowed, simply because it is for the good of the HOUSE. A SLAVE knows (s)he is valuable property and as such should maintain that value and increase the value of the House at every opportunity.

A Submissive may serve for years and think (s)he is a Slave, may call itself a slave. How would one differentiate? That is for the participants to decide. A Slave will put the wellbeing of the HOUSE as primary, with the individual well-being always secondary, but never ever forgotten. A Slave will be able to efficiently run the entire household in the absence of the Master/Mistress without having to have constant reminders or being micro-managed. Independent thought and management skills are valuable commodities and take a huge weight off the Master/Mistress. Reliability and companionship are part and parcel of what (S)He probably values most without ever saying so. Is sex a part of your relationship? Bully for you if it is, but if not? well deal with it. Nirvana doesn't exist for everyone honey. Does (S)He need to be reminded about Doctor visits/Medications? REMIND Her/Him. As a Slave, you're Maid, Cook, Personal Assistant, Chauffeur, Yard Boy, Valet, Masseuse, Answering Machine, Major Domo, Geisha, Gofer, Whipping Boy, and general bitch. Submissives can walk away from this when they're tired. Slaves thrive on it. Understand now?
