The Freedom of Consensual Slavery

There are many images that come to mind whenever anyone thinks of
the word slave. Most of the time the word itself is used in a negative
context in reference to being forced to behave in a way that one does
not wish to behave. It is a word that references a person that is under
the complete authority of another with little to few rights of their own.
The definition of the word has been put forth as having several
meanings, one of which would be “a form of forced labor in which
people are considered to be, or treated as, the property of another”.
There is much stigma attached to the word itself since the days of the
slave trade that was abolished in this country upon the closing of the
civil war.

So many different meanings can be addressed and yet I find that they
are not what come to my mind when I think of the word slave. Upon
hearing the word or thinking of it I am filled with warmth and a gentle
joy deep in my heart. You may want to ask, why would anyone feel
that way? I will tell you happily. It is because I myself am a slave. Not
only am I willing, but I am an eager one in my service to my Master.
You see there is another meaning to this word that I have come to
treasure so. You may in fact find it a truly ironic meaning, for I have
come to see my own slavery as the only form of true freedom.

How could this be? You may be thinking to yourself, surely this girl is
mistaken and confused in her use of language. But no! It is true! I see
my slavery as freedom indeed. You see, it allows me the freedom to
behave toward my Master in the ways that feel natural to me when it
comes to how I relate to the man I love. I respect Him greatly of
course, and I value his thoughts and opinions, but this isn’t the driving
force behind my internal serenity. I enjoy being able to behave as a
slave because it is the ultimate expression of my true feelings for Him.
When He requests something of me by way of action or words, He is
able to freely express His wishes without being hindered by society’s
views of what is and is not appropriate in His requests. In turn, by
bending to His will, learning from His instruction, serving Him and
following His lead obediently, I am freed from society’s confinements
on what is viewed as inappropriate behavior in my expression of
adoration.

Perhaps I should explain a bit further with example. If a woman of

mainstream society is seen to approach her mate with lowered eyes
then kneel before him and bow reverentially to then be patted on the
head and called a “good girl” as she gives a beaming smile in response
to his words, it would be seen as a lowering of her station and an act of
disrespect toward herself. No matter how much she loves him, he is
then seen as something of a bully that treats his mate as a dog. The
real magic behind consensual slavery is that, with the simple act of
declaring one’s slavery, a woman can walk proudly in her status as
slave and a man can be seen as a strong and loving mate who cares
deeply for her and treats her well. When a slave bows before her
Master it is done out of love and an eagerness to express that love in a
physical way that bellies the true level of adoration she has for Him. To
be limited to societies accepted acts of love such as kisses, hugs and
other “vanilla” forms of affection; a true and natural slave is in essence
being bound from expressing herself to the full extent that she desires.
Only, the difference is, the ties that bind her are not being held by
someone she loves and trusts but rather by a cold unfeeling society
that arbitrarily doles out its views of right and wrong.

Take a moment to think this over in your mind. If it is wrong to deny

women the vote based on their gender because they are equals, then
isn’t it also wrong to determine for them how they are to display their
feelings for their mate? Is it not wrong to tell a person that was born
with a natural inclination toward submission to behave in any other
way then that which comes to them as the right thing to do? And
finally is it not wrong for one that is an internal slave to be forced upon
with the “freedom” society would have for her? In my humble opinion,
that is tantamount to emotional rape for it is, in essence, a violation of
a woman’s right to decide for herself how she will lead her life.

It is natural for a slave to be as she is and to behave as she does and

that my friends, is a beautiful thing. Quite contrary to popular belief a
true slave is a very strong person that must know her own mind in
order to achieve happiness and success in her endeavors in life. She
must be strong enough to cast aside the bonds that society has placed
on her. She must know herself well enough to trust her decisions in
choosing a Master. She must display courage in bending her will to His
so that she may know the elation of a deed well done and a Master
well pleased. She must have the fortitude to walk the gauntlet of
disapproving stares directed at her from those in the world around her
so that she may be able to take the opportunity to truly be whom she
was born to be. Yes, a slave is a strong individual indeed for she has
chosen her only true freedom. Rather then simply dream of it or
fantasize about it when no one is watching she has spread her wings
and leapt forth to grab it, only to find that at long last she can finally
soar!
