Training and More

As i have been talking with otherslaves and Masters about training and the things that i said in my last entry, It seems that i need to talk about it at more length. I used the analogy of traing and breaking in a Thoroughbred with out breaking the spirit of the horse as being similair to traning a slave. It seems that among Masters and slaves it is a prevelant problem that needs discussion. As with horse training you want to break in a slave so that he knows his place and submits, but if you break the spirit of the slave then you destry the desire to submit and the NEED to serve. This can only lead to a detrimental result. Either the slave starts going through the motions and becomes unsatisfied and unfulfilled in his life. Or the slave will leave and not be in contact with his inner self and may never return to being a slave. When you break the spirit of a slave it also destroys the meaning of life to a slave, at least a natural born slave. then he bcomes lost and confused.

Among the Masters and slaves i have spoken to, it seems to be more of a problem for extreme Masters and extreme slaves. Many times, from what I understand, the breaking of the spirit is a problem in this group. Many times breaking the spirit not only destroys desire in a slave but trust and bonding with a Master.While being etreme has its place, it is the intesity of extreme that is important. Only an experienced and knowledgeable Master that can read a slaves inner soul be using this type of training. While estreme training is eduactional in the firest session, it lets the Master and the slave know each others limits and establishes trust and bonding, The lever of intesity should not be something that is used every time. Afterall, a Slave craves to expand thier limits and please his Master by doing so. Where is the slave left to go if a Master breaks those limits and goes so far as to break the spirit of the slave. Then is bcomes a master of submission by fear and loathing, than about submission out of love, honor, and need to serve and please another man. The high full-throttle level of extreme training used in the firt session can and should be revisited and used as a useful tool. It lets a slave know that the Master cares enough about them to let them know thier place and what is expected of them, and as mentioned, what the slaves limits are and the best way to expand them. However, i think, the full-throttel level should not be used in every session. I know that some Masters will disagree with this and that is fine but hear me out. I, as a slave, appreciate and love a Master that uses it as a form of punishment for in appropriate behavior. But when the level is used just to abuse the slave, then we have a whole other set of issues htat i am not going to go into. And Afterall, if the samelevel is used in every session then the slave, as well as the Master, will beocme bored and disenchanted with each other and seperate. So you see, it takes a great bit of skill to be a Master and a slave. Also in the case that I described, it is essential that the Master and slave match in the extreme level that is sought from the relationship. This is why the time period between the initial chat and the first meeting is important. Masters and slaves run into trouble when they think they are ready to meet after a few chats and no phone conversations and e-mails. you have to know the person you are getting involved with. THe BDSM MAster/slve relationship is also a lifestyle. Thus we all need to remeber there is a life in a lifestyle. It isn't a 24hf porn flick. Interaction with a Master or slave out of the play session is just as important if no more so that in a session.

Well that is all for now and I hope this entry as enlightened those that read it. if you have any questions or comment, or a Master that is interested, you can e-mail me at Raven15@consolidated.net
