During the munch Master and I attended on Saturday there was a lively discussion on Master/slave relationships. I find it quite interesting to hear what people consider to be M/s vs. D/s. The presenter gave a description that to me sounded exactly the same. Description was like the slave has no limits other than those of the Master, safewords may not be used and there is a symbiosis between the two that makes it work. I’ve read in a book on protocols recently the author’s view was one I really liked. It said that D/s was the exchange of power, whereas M/s is the exchange of authority. Sounds good to me.

Master had a lot of wonderful things to say during the discussion and was even suggested that he had a bit of old guard and old fashioned beliefs. It was pretty complimentary to him, and appeared surprising to the people who said it because Master is so young. I guess they didn’t expect to hear the those thoughts from someone so young. Master has always had old style beliefs and it has attracted me numerous times.

Personally I’m really not sure how I would define an M/s relationship. I do see one difference being that slaves are human property. That doesn’t make them subhuman or nonhuman to me. An owner/property relationship is what I class as that. I believe that slaves have given over their rights to make any decisions on their own and do not have the ability to say no or question the Master.

Some of the things that I do for Master or my own behavior people have assumed I am a slave. I am not. I identify as a submissive and am happy with that identity right now.

Today, Master mentioned wanting to get experience in a few play activities that we’ve attempted but not gotten any further or new ones. He said he’d like to have basic skills in a lot of play activities while he is still young so that he can master them as he gets older. He brought up caning, cupping, fire-cupping, and fireplay. I mentioned violet wands. So, more play and facing fears is in my future.

I love that he wants to learn a whole bunch of things and that means that our play will be exciting and new every single time. I can’t wait to get started.
