The right to say NO

Being a slave is a choice you make and once you are owned you have no more choices in life.

To say NO is a sin to a slave and her goal is to completely surrender all control to her owner and to obediently accept everything that is done to her (within agreed hard limits) and also to trust him to make the most out of her. To make this a little more interesting I would say there are two kinds of slavery; consensual slavery and non consensual slavery. The consensual kind is where the slave has a way out of the agreement when she say NO to her owner and where she no longer accept his training of her and her living condition. By doing this she has no more value to her owner and her contract is terminated. At this point the owner either renegotiates the contract and everything that comes with that or he releases the slave.

I see slavery much like marriage and that there are no way out once the contract is agreed upon. A no consensual slave has no way out of her contract unless it is a time limited one. If she wants to change things she need to be taking it up with her owner and persuade him for a change, there are no other way. It is my belief that being a slave is a lifetime commitment and not something you take on lightly, but that goes both ways. To be a Master and an owner is as I said many times before a huge responsibility and not something you do when you have some time to spare.

I often see the term submissive used with being a slave or a clearly submissive person label herself as a slave. In my opinion that only shows the level of experience of the person who use it. Being submissive is about giving your Dom/mme control of you on some levels, but not all. She has the right to say NO without jeopardizing her relation with her Dom/me. It is the submissive that decide how much control she is ready to give up. Being a slave is not a submissive that gives up all control, that is completely wrong in my opinion. A slave does not even need to have a submissive personality and hence being submissive, just being forced to obey and complete ownership could be the driving force for a slave, not just submitting power to someone. I think this article by Deborah Teramis Christian explain this better than I ever can.

As always, tell me what you think about this matter.
