Is It Live?.....Or Is It Memorex?

Well I said that I would try to keep posting and here I am with another post. This blog started out as a way of telling my journey to finding a Master, but it has turned into some of the things and issues facing the leather M/s, D/s, D/b community. That is fine with me as I am always interested in learning new things about the lifestyle I have chosen for myself. Technology is a wonderful thing and has made our lives easier. Sometimes to easy I think.With the advent of the internet people are now connected all over the world. You can have a video feed and see the person that you are talking to instantly. Just like being on the phone. I say that to bring me to a subject that I have seen in the various chatrooms that I frequent. It is the issue of c2c training of a slave. There is a consensus out there with the vast majority against it. I can see why. None of it would be real in the sense of training that would be necessary to have a slave of any substance. Training a slave involves behavioral modefication. This is accomplished by "aversion" techniques. Some times it is verbal and sometimes it is physical. Often it is the latter because it works so well. By physical I mean corpral punishment. I don't mean punishment for the sake of punishment but the kind of punishment that is made to teach. By using a cam to train a slave, a Master/Dom is essentially giving control to the slave. At anytime the slave can click the mouse and disappear. Then there is the issue of training intensity. A Master's expertise in knowing how far to take the pain to teach a slave is vital to the slave learning their place and how to serve their Master. If the slave is handing down the punishment then they are controling that intensity and will by, human nature, not give itself the intensity that is required for the behavioral modefication. That would be like asking a three year old how they should be punished when they misbehave. Some pain is necessary when doing the behavioral modefication. The knowledge of how to use that intensity is up to the Master/Dom not the slave. The only slave training that is of any worth is the kind that real time brings to the relationship. If you have one person on one end telling the other what to do and watching them, then you aren't in a Master/slave relationhip but a voyueristic one. Not to mention, the slave at the other end of the cam can decide not to do what he is told. There is that element of being bound and helpless that helps in the training. I mean lets get real. A MAster enjoys a slave bound and forced to do as he is told to a certain degree and inflicting their punishment upon them. The slave enjoys being bound and forced and punished in order to please his Master. That is where each gets their pleasure from. and isn't that what a Master/slave, Dom/sub relationship is all about. Coming together with another that is the oppisite of one another to fulfill the need that is in the very depths of their soul? The Master/slave relationship should be one that each sompliments the other.With that I'm going to leave you.
