What makes a good Master or Dominant?
This article is about consensual role-playing in a sexual relationship.
Of course actual slavery for the purpose of sexual exploitation is against the law.
BDSM is about consenting to be a pet or a submissive or a slave for a Master or Mistress.
If the consent ends, so does the play. No one is ever forced to play.
BDSM is an acronym that means:
Bondage and discipline
Dominance and submission
Sadism
MasochismIn BDSM, Master/slave or M/s is a relationship in which one individual serves another in an authority-exchange structured relationship.
The structure is agreed mutually by the Master and slave. The slave agrees to trust the Master and consents to give up her consent.
He controls and commands everything.
Therefore a Master needs to be considerate to his slave, look after her needs and nurture the gift she has given him.
Unlike Dominant / submissive structures found in BDSM, love is often the core value.
Service and obedience are often the core values in Master/slave structures.
The Slave wants to please her Master and the Master wants to be proud and show off her obedience.The participants may be of any gender or sexual orientation.
The relationship uses the term “slave” because of the ownership rights of a master to their slave's body, as property or chattel.
Male “masters” will usually be referred to as “Master” or “My Lord” by their slaves, submissives or pets.
Other Masters are addressed as “Sir”Female masters are referred to as “Mistress” or “My Lady” by their slaves, submissives or pets.
Other mistresses are addressed as “Mistress”The Master/slave (or owner/property) relationship is entered into on a consensual basis, without the legal force of historical or modern non-consensual slavery, that is forbidden by the laws of most countries.
It is important That the BDSM couple trust and agree what they want and expect from the relationship. They should discuss and agree:
what their boundaries and perimeters are ;
what are hard limits (Things they wont do) ;
and what is a safe word for when boundaries are pushed and tested.The safe word means STOP IMMEDIATELY. NO MORE.
Write down the agreed rules and add or take away as the relationship progresses.
Contraventions will attract a punishment by the Dom. Good behaviour will attract rewards.A Master/slave or Dominant/submissive relationship is of consent only. If consent is withdrawn, the play must stop.
If the play does not stop, then it is abuse.
BDSM relationships do not condone abuse whether physical or mental.A Master or Mistress has a responsibility to look after his property and this should be borne in mind during play and should be fully aware of their underlings boundaries, hard limits and safe words. They should nurture the trust, like and even love of their submissive.
The moment a safe word is uttered, the play should stop and the welfare of the underling taken care of.
If the underling contravenes or breaches the agreed rules, then they should expect punishment from their Dominant.
This can take many forms, but the favourites are spanking, public spanking, public nudity or even public sex or blow jobs with persons chosen by the Dom.
All relationships are different and therefore Dominants and submissives make rules that work for them and their relationship.
Not all relationships will have the same rules but all will have the essence of care and trust and respect for each other in play.
The creeds should be borne in mind.
The Dominants Creed should be read.
The Submissives creed should be read.The Dominant’s Creed

The Submissive’s Creed
Author UnknownI will communicate with complete honesty my needs, desires, limits and experience. I realise that failing to do so will not only prevent my Dominant and I from having the best experience possible, but it can also lead to physical and emotional harm.
