For those who do not know of the myth of Sisyphus let me explain:

Sisyphus was an evil and cruel King, who had angered Zeus by his trickery and sentenced, by him, for all eternity, to push a massive boulder up a hill to the top, only to see it roll to the bottom and have to start again.

In the Myth of Sisyphus by Albert Camus, Camus imagines Sisyphus embracing his eternal task, seeing it as a reason to give his life purpose – thus it is with many of the slaves I have been Master to.

What often begins as an arousal of a sexual kind on reading about BDSM, leads to sites like this in the hope that, in the anonimity of online communication, what has stirred their imagination and sexual arousal, may be forwarded in some safe manner.

Often confused between ‘submissive’ and ‘slave’ they present a profile which they hope will not be too naff or gouache yet will state what they want or are seeking.

Some find suitable Master’s or Mistresses and quickly discover the BDSM lifestyle is far from what they imagined; these are the submissive who wish only to play at this lifestyle without getting fully involved.

Others fair better and discover that what was at first simply a feeling for submission was, in fact, a desire to be owned and controlled and that, by exposing their desires to a Master or Mistress a certain freedom is achieved.

Like Camus’ Sisyphus, the more he pushes the boulder up the mountain the more he feels his life has purpose, so the true slave, like any addictive drug, finds that the more they subjugates herself to another, the more freedom they gain and the greater purpose their lives have.

Such irony that the very thing that gives a slave freedom comes from giving away their freedom to act for themselves?

“…the only way to a woman's heart is along the path of torment. I know none other as sure. “

One does not have to be a misogynist to control and make a female your slave. Nor does one have to think women inferior to men to have them kneel, head bowed and compliant, at your feet. Nor, again, does one have to lack respect for a woman who, both from her own needs and desires, and your strength of dominance, you subjugate and take ownership of.

All one needs is a woman who understands that a slave is not the same as a submissive, and that her desires to submit to a man are desires of the soul and not the mind.

For the mind is where a Vanilla tainted 50 Shades of Grey pseudo form of submission takes place and the soul is where, an almost spiritual desire to surrender and capitulate one’s self to another, in degrees of self-abnegation which transcend mere submission, not only exist, but is the beating heart of being a slave to a Master.

So many here play at this lifestyle, they make a mockery of all that is perfect about a Master/slave relationship. They either lack understanding, or think that they can re-write the precepts of what a Master/slave relationship is about, in order for them to 'play' at the Master/slave lifestyle, and wear it as today's fashionable 'in thing' to be discarded tomorrow. 

I abhor the way these, self-proclaimed, ‘masters’ and ‘slaves’ arrogantly pose as the oracle for all knowledge on a subject they neither understand nor comprehend the substance of.

For those who recognize themselves here:

“My manner of thinking, so you say, cannot be approved. Do you suppose I care? A poor fool indeed is he who adopts a manner of thinking for others!”

 Quotations see DeSade: “The 120 days of Sodom and other writings”

We may admire what we see of the outside.

But is it not what is on the inside that we really want.

I dislike roll play.

It is like paying to see a movie and being made to wear a blindfold.

You get to follow the dialogue, but miss out on all the action.

I was once asked by a young Domme, what makes a good Master or Mistress?

The ability to stay in control of yourself, I replied.

Oh, and to avoid those Subs who say they want a strong Dom.

What they really want is a serf to make them into a princess.

What makes a good Master or Mistress?

Often it is simply the ability to make things up as you go along.

Once I became the Master of submissives and slave’s I gave up the right to be free.

Ironic, when you think of it?

50 Shades of Grey. Everything you DON’T want to know about D/s.
The Story of O. Everything you DO want to know about D/s.

Orwell feared that what we hate will ruin us.
Huxley feared that that what we love will ruin us.

Well I certainly don’t do hate.
And I won’t do love.

But will that save me from ruin?

I sometimes consider that online D/s relationships are not so much conducted in a virtual reality, but in a virtual unreality.
