Now, imagine your self as the third slave of a Master and doing most of the cooking and cleaning after working a regular 8 hour day. You get attention and or sex when he has time, feels like it and remembers you are there. Can YOU be that slave? Is being the slave of a Gorean important enough to you that you would take that third slave's place to be one? Would you do it to learn to be a Gorean's slave from a Master you didn't love?

Honestly, you, and any girl would probably learn what it really means better in that kettle slave position than as someone's love slave. You wouldn't enjoy it. Being a slave is not about you enjoying it. It is about making the Master's life easier, better and pleasing him in whatever way HE wishes. Nothing more than that. This is why I said that most can not do it. They drop out after a few weeks or a year or two.

Hello Malkinius,
 
i wish to comment on your thought. 
 
You speak of the trial by fire...as the Master black smith purifies his precious metal.  It is NOT an easy route...nor is it always sunny and bright.  There are lessons to be learned though, and some are learned in the darkest depths of a slaves soul belly.  During these trials a slave discovers who she is, and who she is not.  i believe that you are correct, in that many cannot do it, at least not for the long haul.  i trained for an entire year living as second slave, and that was tough enough without being pushed to the rank of third.  It was not in a totally Gorean home, but rather a blended home, but still the Master was fair, firm and strict.  He was strong in his discipline and unwavering in his desires, rules and expectations.  So i can only imagine how much more challenging it may have been, had his home been completely Gorean. 
 
Yet, after the year was over, i was still willing to renew the terms of the contract.  i felt fulfilled in a way that i didn't know i could feel.  i did not love this man, but i greatly respected and valued the person he was, and will always remain grateful, that he put it to me straight, and did not allow me to get away with being weak and cave into my emotions or feelings.  He taught me who i was, and made me face my fears head on.  Miraculously with his guidance, i became that much stronger, and wiser in life.  i didn't think i could do it about half way through...i began to succomb to my voice inside that said to run away...but for me, to run would have been cowardly.  He knew this, and i knew it, and i persevered through his training.  It was the hardest and best learning experience in my life as a slave. 
 
i have no regrets, only a grateful heart that a Master saw in me what i could not see in myself at the time.  It helped me decide the rest of my journey.

Thank you for sharing this thought.
