Caius -> RE: Are there pro slaves?? (6/15/2009 4:49:51 PM)

If by pro slave you mean someone you can keep around your house and force into the most debasing situations with little regard for their dignity and freedoms for a (usually nominal) fee, then yes, of course there is such a thing as a pro slave, though this class of person usually goes by the more recognizable label of "undocumented domestic worker."
But all jokes about genuinely exploited individuals aside, I think your gonna run into a philosophical distinction again and again with the responses you get to this question -- most people who opt for the terminology of "slave" want to feel that they are themselves in fact owned, which would make it counter-intuitive to give them money (in that their owner would then automatically be in possession of it again, through them). Not to mention the fact that most people who opt for a master(or mistress)/slave dynamic tend to view it as a more long-term and intimate arrangement and would consider the idea of payment out of place or downright crass. On the other hand, I've always thought putting aside a little money for your slave, now and then for the entire time they serve you, is only the right thing to do if you are able and care for them, just for the eventuality of circumstances unforeseen. But of course that is something entirely different and in fact something the slave might not even be aware of. The only scenario I can think of where I personally would think of a "payed for slave" as a non-oxymoron is if you rented another's slave from them for a time in which they were explicitly told to heed your commands as if they came from their owner; here the financial transaction would have value and the slave would still be acting through loyalty to the person they feel owns them.
Short of that, there is no shortage of people willing to bottom in any number of activites for a fee, from what I can tell. In fact, I'm sure that your average sex worker can probably be talked into a good deal of bdsm activities for the right price, though I also imagine that finding one that reacts in the fashion you want to whatever you do with them would be difficult.
Oh, and KYboy, no one here is judging you for your fetish to pay someone to treat you like a tool (well, ok, I'm judging, but I'd normally do it silently), so perhaps you should return the courtesy. Especially given the average prejudice for paid-for-bdsm usually runs particularly high against the patrons of pro dommes... Much as I'm sure you deserve to be treated like a tool.
