Becoming A Slave Read Free Page B

and service, especial y Master Lynn and slave Patrick.
    The masters and slaves who graciously al owed me to interview them for source information and the examples you find in this book also deserve my thanks: Master Jim & slave Marsha (International Master
    & slave 2001, a Gay and Lesbian couple), Steve Sampson & slave Kirk (International Master & slave 2000), Master Vince DiFruscio (a long-time friend in Chicago), Master Scott & Slavette (International Master
    & slave 2002 and husband and wife), Goddess Lakshimi (Professional Dominatrix with a 24/7 slave and Ms World Leather 2004), and Master Lawrence & slave Ernest (a Gay couple).

    I would also like to acknowledge and thank those who were kind enough to read this manuscript in its early form and offer suggestions and corrections: TammyJo Eckhart, Joanne Gaddy, Phil Ross, and slaves Patrick, Marsha, and Slavette.

    As I end this introduction, I strongly urge you to do the “After Reading Activities.” This book is meant to help you on your journey
    -- if you are only talking and not walking, you’l never arrive there. The 9

    plan of the activities is to help you to reflect on the readings so that you have a better understanding of what you want.

    When you do the exercises you wil be actual y creating a journal with three purposes: first it wil have samples of letters, questions, and answers that you wil want to have handy for your prospective master.
    Doing so wil be a good way to both show your seriousness and give a springboard to discussion. Secondly you wil have done your homework, having created a personal ad and a petition. Thirdly you wil have a personalized guide with questions and answers for your interviews.

    Finding a master is a journey. Good luck and as we sang in my childhood, “Happy trails to you.”
    Patrick Reflects: First Thoughts

    Being a slave has a lot to do with feeling. It feels good to serve. There is general contentment in being where you belong and a satisfaction at being bold enough to al ow yourself to achieve it.
    Physical contact with the one you serve is joyous and the attention you are shown causes you to beam with further joy. An intimate little world develops and you can explore each other in ways you never imagined and in ways others can’t conceive.

    Those feelings are not fleeting, as they are when you are caught up in the fantasy of slavery, when certainty lasts only until orgasm. The feelings I refer to remain and build upon each other, growing stronger and more secure with the passage of time. When a Master/slave relationship is successful these feelings are ongoing and a bond is created with your Master that transcends the chain that might be around your neck or the contract that you might have signed.

    That’s what it feels like to be a slave, and you can’t feel that way wishing for it or fantasizing about it. And I’m sorry, folks, you can’t experience it online. You have to become a slave to experience such feelings and that’s what this book is about, a guide to finding your way to fulfil ment through voluntary servitude.

    The first thing you wil have to do is overcome your fear. Even if you’ve wanted it al of your life, when the moment of truth is at hand, part of you resists. Fear grabs hold of your logic and manufactures reasons and excuses for why you can’t fol ow your desires just quite yet. Shame can enter into it as wel . We’re talking about erotic submission and both of those words are counter to what we are taught is appropriate. This resistance to our desires occurs time and time again, sometimes for years. And when you do begin to make positive steps to pursue your desire the resistance can even get stronger. This exchange between desire and fear continue until the desire and longing to be who you real y are can no longer be held back, and you conquer your fear and 10

    take those first real steps.

    This first real step I refer to is different for everyone but you know it has happened by the
