Slave Application Form slave Application Form Committing to a lifetime or even a single session of slavery is a serious undertaking for anyone to consider. Nothing is to be rushed. Nothing is to be taken for granted. All the rules and conditions to be built up over time do not fundamentally matter as they are a means to an end: a sustainable, ever-maturing and evolving, mutually satisfying, effective and loving Master-slave partnership. Be honest, open and truthful, with yourself and your Master. Commitment, fulfilment, happiness and above all trust and clear communication are crucial, so think carefully about what you are asked here. Filling in this form will take time. A good Master needs a thorough understanding of any slave who is placed under his control, and honesty and trust are established through clear communication, as well as good actions and training. The mental component to slavery is even more important than the physical dimensions, and this application will help a slave to begin to explore the mental side of slavery, or at the least, enable a slave to consider his reaction or attitudes to various aspects of slavery. Good Masters need good slaves, and good slaves who submit more willingly and completely to a Master are desirable, and worthy of training. If your application is successful, I will be in touch to arrange an inspection/ interview session and to discuss your future slave development. Good luck.

List any dietary dislikes, allergies and preferences. 3 PART THREE PHILOSOPHY Read and contemplate the following quotes. Then, write your responses to the questions which follow, ensuring your responses are on the line beneath each question, aligned with the bullet point above and are in bold font. Answers must be written honestly, indicating what you currently believe, and not what you assume to be my beliefs or desires. “Committing to a lifetime of slavery is a serious undertaking for anyone to consider.” What is commitment? What would you find difficult about commitment? What would prevent you from committing totally to a Master? What are the implications of committing to this sort of lifestyle permanently? “All the rules and conditions to be built up over time do not fundamentally matter as they are a means to an end: a sustainable, ever-maturing and evolving, mutually satisfying, effective and loving Master-slave partnership.” Are you prepared to live a life governed by rules and conditions? What if you do not agree to some of the rules and conditions demanded by your Master? Are you prepared to be used and trained to obey these rules and conditions, even if you do not agree with them? How would you cope with the rules and conditions changing over time, as you mature into your slavery? Do you see a natural progression? How do you see your slavery at the start of training? And how do you see your slavery as you mature into the role? How will you, as a slave, change over time, do you think? How can you, as the slave, ensure the relationship is effective and mutually satisfying? “Be honest, open and truthful, with yourself and your Master.” How important is honesty? What would prevent you from being honest? Would you find it difficult being honest about something negative, knowing that you would possibly be punished? And if so, how could this be rectified? Should a slave keep things from his Master? If so, what? If not, why is it important not to keep things from a Master? How would you approach an issue you knew was in conflict with your Master? How difficult would you find honesty? Is being honest on paper, email, and text easier than face to face? Which is the best method of being honest? 4 “It would be up to Master and slave to negotiate and build up our own boundaries.” How important is negotiation in a Master-slave relationship? Should a slave have the right to negotiate? Should a slave merely be told what to do all the time? Should a slave be like a robot, following all orders blindly and without question from his Master? Should a slave have the right to establish boundaries? What if these boundaries conflict with something a Master wants to explore? Is this sort of relationship, ultimately, an equal partnership of sorts, at least while the negotiations are taking place? Does a slave have any rights to dictate how the relationship is going to progress? Can a slave demand that boundaries are fixed and immutable? Can a slave change his mind about boundaries and other things he has negotiated on? “Many slaves come into the lifestyle expecting everything to be dream-like and perfect.” What is your idea of a perfect relationship? What qualities do you have to make a relationship perfect? What would hinder you from establishing your perfect Master-slave relationship? What difficulties would have to be faced, by Master and slave? Is a perfect relationship attainable at all? What are important factors in a Master-slave relationship? What turns you off about slavery? Do you have any special dreams or fantasy situation you’d like to try? What are your best qualifications for slavery? “Do you wish to be in this type relationship 24/7? Perhaps you only wish to be in it during the scenes. Maybe you want to role-play only during certain times. There are many ways this activity can be done, but you have to figure out what is right for you.” What is right for you? 24/7, only during scenes, only at specific times? How would you describe when you wanted the Master-slave aspect of the relationship to start and stop? Is being a part-time slave feasible and realistic? Is a part-time slave still a slave? Should slavery be defined by the time spent in slavery? 5 What are the benefits or drawbacks to these different types of relationship? Are you able, in time, to become a live-in 24/7, permanent slave, living the lifestyle completely? “Be honest with yourself. Figure out what you will and will not do, and what is a maybe.” Should a slave have the right to dictate conditions? Should a slave be able to say to his Master to go gently, or should a slave go at his Master’s pace? Should Masters be understanding of their slaves or demand brutally exactly what they want? Should a slave have opportunities to give feedback to his Master about what is to be done and not to be done? How much influence should a slave have over a scene? Should a slave be allowed to contribute ideas to the relationship? “Are you prepared to give up preferences and only listen to His music? This type of sacrifice can apply to many other things you currently enjoy.” Is it reasonable for a Master to deny a slave choices of music, books, film etc? Should a slave be directed to listen to specific types of music, read specific books without due regard to the slave’s opinions, likes and dislikes? How easy would it be for a slave to deny his own likes in favour of his Master’s? Should a slave be made to give up his own likes if the Master requests this? Should a Master use force and discipline to implement his decisions on these matters? “Being tired, ill or just in a bad mood does not excuse you from your required tasks.” Is it reasonable to expect a slave to be a slave when he is ill, tired or not up to it? How strict should a Master be in enforcing what he requires of a slave? Should a slave have the right to say no to his Master? How would you cope with being told to do something you were not in the mood to do? How difficult would this part of slavery be to you? Does a slave have the right to question his Master? “slaves enter into this type of relationship of their own free will.

  • Submitting to the Discipline of Sexual Intimacy? Online Constructions of BDSM Encounters
    Submitting to the discipline of sexual intimacy? Online constructions of BDSM encounters by Saskia Wolfaardt A mini‐dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree MA Clinical Psychology in the Department of Psychology at the UNIVERSITY OF PRETORIA FACULTY OF HUMANITIES SUPERVISOR: Prof T Bakker January 2014 © University of Pretoria i Acknowledgements Thank you to my participants for trusting me with your intimate journeys and for letting me share it with others. Thank you to my academic supervisor, Prof Terri Bakker, for questions rather than answers, for your sincere interest and curiosity and for all your patience. Thank you to Ingrid Lynch, for your unwavering support, encouragement, endurance and patience. Thank you for the read, reread and re‐reread. Thank you for trusting that I would finish… eventually. Thank you to my parents and brother for your continuous love, support, motivation and faith in me throughout my academic career and for always communicating how proud you are of me in whichever impossible decision I make. © University of Pretoria ii Abstract BDSM (bondage, discipline/dominance, submission/sadism and masochism) has recently gained greater visibility in dominant discourses around sexuality. However, these depictions are often constructed in rigid ways to typically exclude experiences of sexual intimacy. Despite this apparent exclusion, constructions of subspace (an altered mental state induced through BDSM encounters) on online blogs intrigued me to consider it as an alternative to widely accepted notions of sexual intimacy. Using a poststructuralist theoretical framework, I conducted an online ethnographic study in which I explored the varied ways in which self‐ identified South African BDSM individuals construct meaning around sexual intimacy.

  • What Is Knife Play? Blade Play 101
    What Is Knife Play? Blade Play 101 google.com/amp/s/boldpleasures.com/bdsm-toys-techniques/bdsm-techniques/what-is-knife-play-blade-play- 101/amp/ July 13, 2018 If You Cut it too Close, You Need to Cut it out The world of BDSM and kink is such a diverse place. It includes many forms of play. Techniques like spanking and bondage are well known. Knife play is thought of as a riskier sort of play. And through this risk, it is possibly one of the sexiest things to do with your other half. You are literally living on the edge if, and when you engage in knife play. Wikipedia defines blade play as Knife play is a form of consensual BDSM edgeplay involving knives, daggers, and swords as a source of physical and mental stimulation. Knives are typically used to cut away clothing, scratch the skin, remove wax after wax play, or simply provide sensual stimulation. I would like to thank the owner of twohandsmade.com for donating me the two awesome damascus steel blades shown in this article. 1/4 Risque or Risky? As any of my fellow educators will tell you, nothing is without risk. In fact, the act of brushing your teeth could possibly be lethal. But playing with knives brings with it a certain amount of risk. However, properly educating yourself about knives and knife play will ensure that you will be able to play safely, sanely and with limited risks. “You are the knife I turn inside myself; that is love. That my dear is love.” – Franz Kafka You do need to realize however that knife play is classified as edge play*, how edgy knife play is has been a discussion that has been going on for many years and you need to be aware of the risks involved as well as any scenarios you might encounter.

  • Sadomasochism to BDSM: Discourse Across Disciplines Jacqui Williams Monash University
    Sadomasochism to BDSM: Discourse Across Disciplines Jacqui Williams Monash University Recent studies have revealed the stigma faced by practitioners of the sexual practice of BDSM (bondage, discipline, domination, submission, sadism, masochism). This stigma affects practitioners’ ability to be open about their sexuality and raises the question: why is this the case in this socio-historical moment? In answer, this paper analyses discourses regarding BDSM across the disciplinary boundaries of psychiatry, sociology, feminism and law. It investigates some key historical moments in the development of these discourses and reveals two discursive formations that continue to affect practitioners: pathologised practitioner and BDSM as violence. Further, this paper demonstrates how these discourses permeate the social world through the narratives produced in popular culture, and looks at the place of practitioners in these discursive formations. The sexual practice of BDSM, more commonly known as sadomasochism, is as complex as it is varied.1 Theorists frequently struggle at succinct definitions due to the range of practices involved and the changing and subjective meanings for individual practitioners.2 However, some common features are the consensual exchange of power through dominance and submission, the inclusion of pain or intense stimulation, elements of role-taking or role play, and various levels of bondage.3 Practitioners combine activities in a 'scene' or encounter and importantly these scenes are discussed and negotiated beforehand.4 Safewords (used to slow or halt play) are agreed upon and the consensual nature of the interaction is fundamental.5 Recent studies have shown that some practitioners of BDSM face issues of discrimination and stigmatisation which affect their lives and mental well-being.6 They 1 BDSM stands for: bondage, discipline, dominance, submission, sadism, masochism.

  • Script Manual
    Script Manual Always Use a Bratty Tone in Your Voice Paradise Kitty always stresses the importance of stalling for paid time in Private Chat by TALKING with and TEASING your online clients, preferably with your panties ON. It’s a common misconception that webcam models have to get fully naked to make money, but the fact is webcam models make more money stalling for time with their minds and words over getting fully naked and masturbating. There is a huge market of customers looking for someone to control them in some way. Customers pretty much worship webcam models in all niches, but domination is the predominant characteristic. None of these niches require full nudity, since you dear Goddess are completely in control. Paradise Kitty understands that most webcam models have a hard time grasping the “female domination” concept because they are not used to talking to men in this manner. So we have comprised an informative list of different scenarios along with script to use in your Private Paid Chat to show you exactly how to face this challenge by giving you examples of how you should talk and handle these BIG SPENDING online clients. Your objective isn’t to be submissive and do what these clients say just so they can get a quick cum and leave your Paid Chat. In fact, it’s the total opposite. You want to be the one in control giving the orders and setting the pace. Your objective is to seduce them into your Paid Chat and then hold them in there for as long as you can.

In DSM classifications, there are still dilemmas, misinterpretations, contradictions and controversies to define paraphilias and what pathology is and what is not. There are new definitions and terminology in sexuality research, such as “Expanded Sexual Response” (ESR), “status orgasmus” “Never Ending Orgasms (Super Orgasms)”, “Deep Vaginal Erogenous Zones” (DVZ),”Sexual Pleasure Objects” (SEPOs), “Hypersexuality” “Non-genital orgasms” and “soft-non-pathological BDSM” etc. In this review novel *Corresponding author: definitions of some new notions are given and it is discussed why those sexual behaviors cannot be Ümit Sayin regarded as a pathology or paraphilia, such as “Hypersexuality” and soft-BDSM; a unified definition of H, Associate Professor, Institute of paraphilias is proposed.

  • AMERICAN INFERNO by PATRICK DENKER
    AMERICAN INFERNO by PATRICK DENKER (Under the Direction of Reginald McKnight) ABSTRACT American Inferno, a novel, is a loose transposition of Dante‟s Inferno into a contemporary American setting. Its chapters (or “circles”) correspond to Dante‟s nine circles of Hell: 1) Limbo, 2) Lust, 3) Gluttony, 4) Hoarding & Wasting, 5) Wrath, 6) Heresy, 7) Violence, 8) Fraud and 9) Treachery. The novel‟s Prologue — Circle 0 — corresponds to the events that occur, in the Inferno, prior to Dante‟s and Virgil‟s entrance into Hell proper. The novel is a contemporary American moral inquiry, not a medieval Florentine one: thus it is sometimes in harmony with and sometimes a critique of Dante‟s moral system. Also, like the Inferno, it is not an investigation just of its characters‟ personal moral struggles, but also of the historical sins of its nation: for Dante, the nascent Italian state; for us, the United States. Thus the novel follows the life story of its principal character as he progresses from menial to mortal sins while simultaneously considering American history from America‟s early Puritan foundations in the Northeast (Chapters 1-4) through slavery, civil war and manifest destiny (Chapters 5-7) to its ultimate expression in the high-technology West-Coast entertainment industry (Chapters 8-9). INDEX WORDS: Dante Alighieri, Divine Comedy, Inferno, Sin, American history, American morality, Consumerism, Philosophical fiction, Social realism, Frame narrative, Christianity, Secularism, Enlightenment, Jefferson, Adorno, Culture industry, lobbying, public relations, advertising, marketing AMERICAN INFERNO by PATRICK DENKER B.A., Duke University, 1992 M.F.A., San Francisco State University, 2002 A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of The University of Georgia in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY ATHENS, GEORGIA 2010 © 2010 Patrick Denker All Rights Reserved AMERICAN INFERNO by PATRICK DENKER Major Professor: Reginald McKnight Committee: O.

Though there is a high percentage of people who engage in some form of kinky sex, there is still a lack of seriousness in accepting sexual fetishes as valid expressions of sexual behavior. And so designing by approximating a sort of midpoint between the hardcore and the novel, it would eliminate much of the critical nature one would take with an “other” group if people may find that they themselves are part of the kink/fetish community.
