On this subject of the Master-Slave Dynamic in BDSM, there are many various opinions and meanings to different groups or various people. Not one person or couple has the same kind of Master-Slave relationship. So let's begin at the beginning, shall we?
Definition of Master and Slave in the BDSM Realm
M/s, or Master/slave relationships, are a special case of D/s, in which the Master has ultimate authority over the slave. This practice is frequently thought to include 24/7 live-in TPE. Frequently leading up to a Master/slave relationship dynamic is a period of consideration and a period of slave training. Master-slave relationships often use some form of permanent collar and contract. There may be some M/S dynamics where the master does not have total power over the slave, some slaves earn or are given some rights or decision-making.
Masters: What it is to be a master is sometimes very different from one person to another. Some do it for control, and sexual gratification but a large majority get into the more live-in or steady kind of partnership with their slave or slaves. Masters in a true BDSM form must never hurt their slave in anger. There also needs to be a contract that has informed consent that both parties sign and communicate. This is very important before going into this headspace with a new partner. Also if you have a steady partner you should always evaluate your informed consent before each session, along with checking in with your slave during the actual play somehow. Communication is key to a safe and fun experience with this form of role-play.
Slaves: Submissive but not always, owned human property of a Master or Daddy figure. To be controlled by orders and discipline that are agreed upon during the Master-Slave Orientation. Some slaves are live-ins who are cared for by their masters. Another group of slaves is in it for sexual roleplay and dominance. So like with masters, the slave definition can and most likely will be different for each person.
The Master-Slave relationship can be viewed as human ownership. There are participants of this kink that they are extremely serious and they live together. Few live together and are also married and have a different partner on top of their spouse.
