I don't know why but I have this picture of Michael building windmills, standing under the blades and doing a Big Bad wolf/3 little pigs skit!

I'll huff and I'll puff...

It's not bluffing..It's tongue in cheek.

I couldn't make it if I wanted to. Too busy with my business.

One day though if I was welcomed.

So why use the term? Honestly I hate it and always have; finding it repulsive to glorify a term which best represts the worst in human nature - the nonconsentual enslaving of other humans. If kajari rolled off my tongue easier, perhaps I'd use it; but then I'd have to be accepting of an 'off-world' concept where the implied implications which would be similiarly personally non-attactive. I 'settled' on the term slave appreciating that it required the recriprical term 'Master'; applying and wearing them with no comfort and standing behind no confident argument for their use.

Best explained; we use the terms as a short cut on-line, or IRL, introduction among fellow 'life-stylers'. (Another obtuse term.) The labels are akin to a 'Hello - my name is....' badge at a convention. As soon as we can - we rip off the damn things off and say, "hello, I'm Merc - this is beth" - and that's it. You really want to know that those labels mean - we're happy to share our 'contract'; but that gets into a whole different discussion - doesn't it? What we do to/with each other and those who we deem trustworthy enough to enjoin us, or our company, isn't defined by any label. Yet - one seems to be needed isn't it?

It seems an odd thing for people who find a term repulsive to use it to the degree that you do for the sake of easier communication with fellow life-styler's. To then go to the "extreme to speak in third's" makes it even more so.
Maybe you do it for the simple fact that you get enjoyment out of it. Nothing wrong with that. To me though, if it soured my stomach to do something I would find another way to enjoy a thing. Unless that's your maso side coming out as well :>

Is it bullshit? No more than any other way of life a person chooses. If something is bullshit then why do it at all?

I understand the limitations of the words I choose to use and try not to give some lofty meaning to it that I don't feel it can stand..of course personal perception can influence many things..which doesn't necessarily make it true one way or another.

I've never really liked the terms slave and master/mistress. I prefer to say submissive and dominant. If speaking of that relationship, that is. And of course top or bottom applies to play-only relationships. and then of course there are switches...

I'm not as hung up on labels as I used to be, but I can't imagine being married to someone I call my slave; even during the time periods when slavery was legal, THAT would not have been. Perhaps it's because I know a lot about history, and understand what the slavery caste system was really like in societies that had it, but I just don't relate to the idea of slave-as-husband. I picture a submissive husband, but not a slave, because in real slave owning societies a married couple had to be of the same caste.
