Good News! . . . . . . . . much delayed :-(

MasterDave — Sat, 24 May 2008 21:27:38 GMT

Greetings A/all, I recently accepted a slave into pre-consideration---i.e. on-line. The slave's name is athos. slave athos lives in Germany, and speaks only Deutsch. This means We can say rather little between Us, as the "translation portal" the slave uses has a tendency to produce statements which are unintelligible. slave athos is scheduled to attend Butchmann's Academy, http://www.arizonapowerexchange.org/, this summer, and to join Me later in the year. Today, slave athos asked Me why I had not written anything about My having accepted him. The answer is simple thoughtlessness, and for that I apologize. Sincerely, Master Dave

Pain is optional

MasterDave — Sat, 23 Feb 2008 16:22:20 GMT

Greetings A/all, The Master/slave culture is often believed to be a subset of the BDSM culture. This is not true. They overlap very much, but are separate. Master/slave can exist without pain being an integral part of the relationship. Pain still exists for punishment, of course. For Myself, being served is more important than pain. Having someone in My chains is a symbol and a reality of My power over My slave. Pain is simply unnecessary to this. But, I am a Sadist, and the delivering of pain is a part of My love for My subject. Many slaves--whether they enjoy pain or not--have told Me they experience pain--from their Owners--as love. Aftercare following the pain is important to Me, too, because it also is an expression of My love for My subject. One slave, someone already Owned who was interested in a scene, when I told him about aftercare, said "Master Dave would help <name> through my tears?" I replied "Yes. Of course I would!" The acronym BDSM stands for THREE things: 1) Bondage and Discipline, 2) Dominance and submission, and, 3) Sadomasochism, sometimes referred to as Sadism and Masochism. So, a relationship can contain B&D, and Ds, without S&M. I admit, though, that B&D+SM requires Ds. In addition, the amount of pain which can be delivered is limited, and the amount which can be received is limited. Think about it: An intense whipping scene will cause physical damage to One's slave. This damage takes time to heal. The scene itself encompasses intense emotions. Then, the aftercare, by its very nature, causes other intense emotions to surface, then mixes the two possibly conflicting--and possibly the same!--sets of emotions. The whipping causes pain--intense pain--but the reason for the scene and its aftercare is the intense emotions the people involved experience because of their physical experiences in their scene. The two persons are separate, yet they are One as well. The whipping helps them "bond" to each other. The intense experiences, and the need for the slave to heal, limit the frequency with which this scene can repeat. I expect--not yet having been directly involved--that four weeks between sessions is likely. Sincerely, Master Dave

Clueless in Petaluma----Not necessarily in Petaluma, but very clueless!!

MasterDave — Sun, 27 Jan 2008 12:44:35 GMT

This is My roster of cluelessness. These people are "winners"! 2008 Jan 26: Someone actually came up to play, but he forgot My apartment number. he left three messages, failing to leave his number so that I could return his call(s). No callerID, of course! Definitely unclear on the concept of communication! My cellphone did not ring because it ignores no-callerID calls. 2008 Jan 26: Someone titled his profile "If Master can get past my detriments...". I read it, and indeed I could. I sent him two (they are limited-length) messages explaining how to get around some of the problems he noted. In some cases, I had the same problem, and no solution--I said so. I explained a few other things. his response was to tell Me--in a nasty tone of "voice"--that his father used to hit him using the buckle end of the belt (Why would anyone do that? God!!) so I was a jerk. How's that again?? 2008 Jan 27: It has been almost a month since I messaged Shannon, on 2007 Dec 28, about the nasty comments she posted to My blog. She was so out-there with her comments that I was overcome with laughter. I messaged her to thank her for the only humor during the bleak holiday period. I have heard nothing since. No clarification, no apology, not even pleasure in the fact I appreciated her humor.

Is that you...?

MasterDave — Sat, 29 Dec 2007 16:27:07 GMT

Recently I was told I am full of Myself. This is good, because I would hate to be full of someone else. Mind you, this could work out to be interesting. If I were half Me and half Beethoven, then Beethoven could hear again and I would get lots of free music. Such a deal. Being full of oneself also refers to bragging. I would say it connotes unnecessary bragging. Some months back, I ran across a faculty-biography page for some Leather event. One said something to the effect that He has five slaves, two live-in twenty-four hours per day, and three each in different cities, doing research for Him. Another said He had won Mister Leather-everything five times each. (It was not THAT much, but it seemed so to Me at the time.) I thought, "So You are amazingly well off. Stop bragging!" There was a silence, then a voice inside Me asked, "Do I sound like that?" Another voice said, "One hundred percent Dominant, alpha male, born Owner, high intelligence, taught Myself color television technology in two years...". Another silence. The first voice says, ":-( I sound EXACTLY like that!" The second voice says, "But those are important parts of My history." Third voice: "Maybe those are important parts of their histories, too. Hmmmm?? Whatcha think?" I came out against lying when I was seven (or six) years old. My focus is not actually telling the truth, but in accuracy, a much broader requirement. Engineering is a profession in which accuracy is a necessity rather than a drawback. The same is true for programming. Things work or fail because of what they are, not because of what one wishes they be. Those data in My various profiles are just facts. They are not stories, they do not contain explanations, they do not say whether I approve of them, and there is nothing about how they affected My life. They are just what they are. It is obvious from My photos that I am Dominant. People have told Me, "Before I knew you, I thought you were scary.", or, in response to My blue-shirt photo, "You look menacing." I am neither scary nor menacing. I am Dominant. I have taken what was available to Me in My life and made from it what I could. My Dominance provided the motive power for all I have done. I am perfectly happy being Dominant. I accept the costs I have paid. I actually am a nice Man. I had a close friend for thirty-five years. If I were a bad person, then that would have been impossible. I have been through many bad times, too. This is termed "life experience", and helps make an Owner better than He was before the experience. I have been studying Myself since nineteen seventy-two. I know quite a lot about Myself and have changed many things. I am still changing. I am becoming more Master Dave and less that other persona I was living. "Good times, bad times, you know I've had My share!" I am very happy with what I have done for Myself. I see no need to brag about, lie about, or exaggerate anything about Me. I also see no need to keep anything a secret. I want prospective slaves, and people just passing by, to be able to know something about Me. Also, there are young Men who know themselves to be Masters, and I wish Them well along Their journeys. Perhaps information about Me will somehow help Them get more fulfillment from Their lives than I got from Mine. To get personal, I would expect the complainer to have enough of an understanding of prob and stat, (probability and statistics) to recognize an outlier (a datum well away from the norm) when she sees one. As My therapist says, I am "a very complex Man." More complex than normal people, who are quite complex themselves. Anyone who messages Me and respectfully requests more information about Me will receive it. Today, I sent two long e-mails answering questions about Me. Communication is important to Me--electronics is ALL about communication--so I view questions as an opportunity to explain something about Myself in a more easily understood form. And the complaints? She was so far off the mark that her statements were wildly funny. I messaged her to thank her for the only humorous event I experienced in the holiday gloom. Something truly funny comes around but rarely! I wish you well in your journey through your life. Stop to smell the flowers. Most roses (where I live) are scentless, but the good ones more than repay the effort expended in finding them! Sincerely, Master Dave

How do We handle trust...?

MasterDave — Sun, 07 Oct 2007 22:31:38 GMT

A prospective slave recently asked what it would take to show to Me he was following My orders. So I told him to use a certain collar--one which I was sure was solid--and to use a padlock which he had recommended because its keys cannot be duplicated. I had seen this padlock, too, and so I approved of its being used. he then said that the parts I recommended were more expensive than the ones he wanted to use--TRUE--and that he had had bad experiences with a supposed-Master in Oregon. [he is on the East Coast.] I had said: --This makes for an insoluble problem: --For Me to trust you, you must do what I Order you to do. --For you to do that, you must trust Me. --There is nothing I can do to make you trust Me. --So nothing happens. Then, I said he would have to come here and meet Me. he would then know I am real. And, he could play with My acquaintances. he asked Me back, "Since when can't one develop some trust here...?", meaning over the internet. I do not know... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ In My case, trust is something which I emulate rather than have. When I was a baby, My father used to kick at Me under the table, and yell at Me. My mother told Me about this in the eighties. When I was seven, My stepfather abused, mistreated, molested, and terrorized Me. Later, living with My father again, I was abused more. The result is that I am completely trustworthy, but also completely unable to trust other people. When it came down to it, I had trust problems--although he did not know it--with My friend of thirty-five years. He was OK--I had the problem. I became a two-valued person: On/off, Yes/no, True/false, Left/right, Good/bad, Strong/weak, One/zero, Black/white, Up/down, Live/dead, Positive/negative, Up/down, In/out, and many more. Engineering is perfectly suited to this type of person, because everything works or fails. Parts meet their specifications--or else they fail. A system functions as desired--or else it fails. A system lasts long enough to be useful--or else it fails. You get the idea. How can someone for whom trust is both unswerving and impossible communicate with someone for whom trust is whatever normal people believe it to be? I have absolutely NO idea how normal people think. So when he said, "With respect, W/we have a communication problem here", he was more correct than he knew. How will this turn out? As Smooch says, "I have no clue." So stay tuned. 2007 Oct 07 Sun.

Intelligence test stories; Mine

MasterDave — Sun, 07 Oct 2007 00:51:57 GMT

The 'common' "IQ test" was developed by two psychiatrists, Stanford, and Benet. They created a way of summarizing how well various mental faculties operated. The test subject is compared with a baseline value--the Norm. The process of comparison is division, and the result is a quotient. This is how the term "Intelligence Quotient" came to exist. The Norm, the center value of the IQ system, is given as one hundred. This is just the value of any norm, 1.00, expressed as percentage. '1.00' equals '100%'. IQ results plot quite smoothly according to the Gaussian Distribution. Because of its shape, the Gaussian Distribution is often referred to as the 'bell curve'. The high-point in the center of the Gaussian Distribution is The Norm. A range about The Norm is called the 'normal range'. There is a statistical method for determining this, but I never took Stat, so I cannot give you the revealed truth about how this is done. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This has been a test of the Emergency IQ Explanation System. If this had been a real explanation, then you would have been told... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I started high school after the school year had started. Those of us who arrived that day were each given an "Otis Self-Administering Test of Mental Ability". I had just read a story in which the "MQ" ("Multplicity Quotient"?) played a big part. The idea was that everyone in the country was tested. Those who were exceptionally good were re-used. Their personalities were erased, and a new person was started. The story concerned one man who did not want to be erased. He had developed the test, so he knew how to get a low score. They caught him because no one could be alive and score that badly. So... I did what any intelligent person (Assuming said 'intelligent person' uses My value system!) would do. Halfway down page two, I started 'missing' problems. This meant doing each problem twice: Once for the correct answer, and once again, for the answer which would look like I had TRIED, but just wasn't QUITE smart enough to understand what to do. I started out 'missing' one of every five problems. By the time I got halfway down page three, I was 'missing' four of every five problems. This was the point at which the woman giving the test came in to collect them. I noticed most of the other kids had barely started page two, and some were still on page one! What??! She came back for each kid one by one. She was interviewing each of us. When it was My turn, I almost bit a hole through My tongue stifling My laughter as she told Me how WELL I had done on the test. Riiiiiiight! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Discussion of My intelligence goes here.

IntoDUCing... slaveziki

MasterDave — Fri, 28 Sep 2007 16:26:17 GMT

I met slaveziki on Slave Farm. We began exchanging messages, then e-mails. I placed him under Consideration 2007 September 20th. he is now researching slavery web sites and doing blogs about what he has found. I expect his writing and comprehension will improve as his experience increases. We expect to meet in October or November. "More on this story as it develops." Slave Owner Dave

What do I want in a slave?

MasterDave — Thu, 06 Sep 2007 21:00:55 GMT

Potential slaves who contact Me often ask Me "What do You want in a slave?", "What do You do with a slave?", or a similar question. These are actually different questions, I will try to answer both. "What do You do with a slave?" is the more difficult of the questions. There are many things I would do with a slave. I expect to have many slaves, so I do not require any one slave to do all these things. My uses for slaves are: -- Domestic service--Essentially every Owner or Master requires this, so no surprise here. -- Art--This is the slave kneeling, perhaps wearing special chains, looking nice. Even an Engineer can like this art! (Male OR female art!), -- Quietly keeping My glass full and performing other small comfort services for Me. -- Personal assistant (Prefer female), -- Training assistant (Prefer male), -- Chauffeur, -- Occasional Sadism followed by cuddling and aftercare, -- Have it wear My chains, cuffs, etc., throughout the day, -- Doggie role-play, -- SM scenes--At Home, parties, ?, -- Sex. The first eight are the important ones. I expect some of My slaves--if not all--to accompany Me to classes, discussion groups, parties, and the like. Some difficulties in slaving are resistance and blockage. These are when the slave--through no fault of its own--cannot carry out an order or action desired by its Owner. As a conscientious Owner, I will take the time needed to work through the problem. slaves WANT to serve their Owners. Berating a slave for problems over which it has no control is wrong, counterproductive, and just plain mean. For a slave to truly be a fulfilled slave, it must surrender to its Owner. it cannot surrender to a meanie. The time put in by Owner and slave is time well spent. Owners Educate, Guide, Protect, and Train Their slaves. This is part of Ownerheart, every Owner has no choice but to perform these functions. Owners love Their slaves, thus MUST serve them. ________________________________ "What do You want in a slave?" is reasonably easy to answer. Honesty. Honesty--Values--comes before all else. slaveheart--Without slaveheart, one cannot be a slave. One may wish with all one's energy, but slaveheart makes slaving possible. Me to be the slave's choice--If I am a substitute for the Owner who "got away", then I can never measure up, and the relationship will die horribly. Maybe not, but... intelligence--My intelligence is fifty percent above normal. I need people who can hold a reasonable conversation, follow orders, fill in if I am not there, etc. Again, not ALL My slaves need be this. Open mind--"One cannot learn with a closed mind." 'nuff said. Good personality--Every slave I have met, no exception, has had a good personality. Cool! ________________________________ I am very flexible in what I will do to/for My slaves. I have exchanged messages with people representing themselves as slaves who have made unusual requests of Me. I list these below: ---- His ad said: "In San Francisco Oct. 07 through 13.", and "24/7 chains or restraints when not in cell or cage, imprisonment". He hopes for long term----I agreed to play for a day, with lifetime a possibility. ----This one chickened out. Assuming it was real, that is. ---- "Need a strong, Sadistic Master who can take control and break it completely."----I agreed, never heard from him. :-) ---- "this slave is looking for a Sir/Master who would enjoy parading around Folsom Street a stripped, collared, bound slave. this slave would welcome Sir/Master publically demonstrating his corporal punishment techniques"----Never heard from him, either. ---- One man is seeking "An owner that wants a completely physically controlled slave that has no options for escape or disobedience". I have been exchanging messages with him for about a week now. ----After four weeks or so, he just disappeared. :-) ---- 2008 Jan 26: Someone actually came up, but he forgot the apartment number. he left three messages, failing to leave his number so that I could return his call(s). No callerID, of course! Definitely unclear on the concept of communication! [My cellphone ignores no-callerID calls.] ---- I have to let this go for now, other stories to come.

What are Mastery and slavery?

MasterDave — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 19:18:07 GMT

UNDER CONSTRUCTION (like everything else in the web!) "Dominance and submission", usually spelled "Ds" for obvious reasons, involves a transfer of personal power from one person--the submissive partner--to another person--the Dominant partner--for some period of time. A husband tying his wife to the bed, then they play, then they have sex, then he unties her, is Ds in action. The period of time is variable. The short period described above is called a "scene". The Dominant person is called a "Top". The submissive person is called the "bottom". If you are thinking "I'm not tying up my wife!" or "Let him tie me up? No way!" then you have discovered that a scene has FOUR players. To paraphrase James Burke (from program one of "Connections") "Dominance/submission play requires the one thing you haven't got... {electrical box cover being slammed shut. looking at you through the camera} TRUST!" The bottom has to trust that her Top will not hurt her, and the Top has to trust that he will not hurt his bottom. ALL Ds has these four "players". But Ds can last much longer than a scene. It can, in fact, be twenty-four hours a day. Bluntly put, the labels for the forms of Ds are used vaguely at best, but here they are: Dominant/submissive, Daddy/boy, Master/slave, Owner/chattel. Owner/chattel is the most extreme, Dominant/submissive the least so. Now you are going to ask me "Which relationship is the best?" As an Owner I can unequivocally tell you that the best form of Ds is the one which works for you and your partner. The Dominant person has a need to control someone, and the submissive person has a need to be controlled. But when the submissive transfers power over herself to her Dominant, the concommitant responsibility is transferred along with the power. In short, that power comes at a cost. To illustrate this cost, I will consider the Owner/chattel form. In this situation the Owner has complete control over his chattel(s). Since the chattel has no power over herself, she cannot correct any problems which come her way. This means her Owner is responsible for correcting those problems. The Owner, in fact, has to protect her from problems and situations over which she has no control. Plus, the Owner has to see to her intellectual growth, her spiritual growth, her emotional growth, her physical growth, her health, and many other things. And, yes, He has to see to her slave training as well. But Wait!--There's more! The chattel has to feel the Owner's Control. The chattel has to know the Owner is receiving some real benefit from her actions. As an Owner, then, one has to NEED to Control all these things. And then one needs to actually DELIVER these things... No matter how simple a Ds relationship might LOOK, the reality is much much work. If you still want to be a Master... Study up!!
