Slavery: What’s it to you? – Rayne’s Version
Cin worked up a list of questions for herself and then asked me if I’d be willing to answer them also. I thought, “Why the hell not?” So, here they are:
1 – Does being enslaved set you free or dehumanize you?
A little of both. I don’t really see the two as mutually exclusive.
2 – Dehumanizing: Is it a goal? Is it something that is progressively worked towards?
This really depends on the relationship. In some cases, it’s simply a side effect.
In our relationship, it’s sort of both. I never would have believed myself animalistic before I was a slave. Now, I’m occasionally seen acting closer to a cherished dog than a lover. Slavery has brought something out of me that is very primal in nature. Whether it’s dehumanization or embracing my humanity, I’m not sure.
3 – Are you part of a “loving” M/s dynamic or not?
Yes, very much so.
4 – Is your slavery a gift or just part of who you are?
Submission is not a gift. Neither is slavery. My slavery isn’t just part of who I am. It defines me.
5 – As a slave, do you feel you do/should have any rights outside of begging release?
My list of rights is very short and can be revoked at any time. I have the right to His love and affection. I have the right to His honesty. I have the right to full disclosure with regard to any outside relationships or sexual encounters. And I have the right to His control.
I’m more than welcome to beg release if I want. More likely than not, though, He’d tell me no. I do not have the right to leave if He chooses not to let me go. I am property.
Do I feel it should be this way? In all honesty, I feel it should be however it works for us. If, in the future, we find it more comfortable to give me more rights, He should. If we find it works better if I have less rights, He should take them away. Read more…
