Thoughts on Slave Training..

As a lifestyle educator and trainer of slaves, I’ve had the pleasure of training a number of slaves over time. Part of this related to my training as I was gaining experience for my teaching credential at a club I once belonged to, while a few others were being trained by request to gain experience as a slave within the lifestyle.. I've also trained other slaves for my personal use as well over time, and in all honesty, I've had moderate success with all of this.. While I’ve never claimed to be a true expert at slave training, I do have more than enough experience and success to have formed some very valid opinions on the process and feel I should document them here..  First, my beliefs about what the slave should be to start training.  The slave should be in good health, both physically and mentally. The slave should have a true willingness and desire to become a slave, or the training goes for naught.  Above all else, the slave must have the capacity and desire to willingly submit to training, but also become owned property at the end as a slave should be.

Being a slave is not a natural thing to a person. From birth we are taught to think for ourselves, protect ourselves, and be independent for adult life. These things of course are counterproductive during slave training and need to be strictly controlled, but not eradicated, as they will be needed, at least in part, later on to be a good and productive slave for a Master. I do not hold with the belief that a slave needs to be “broken” before she can be used, as a broken slave becomes un-useful to a Master for the most part and in most forms.  It is my belief that a slave should have worth to a Master and contribute to the well-being of the Master/slave relationship, because if she doesn’t have these traits then she becomes a burden not an asset to the relationship.

As far as training itself goes, I believe it should be a slow process that evolves over time and not a “cram course” that is shoved down a slave’s throat and told to swallow.  There must be motivation for the slave to learn and a desire to keep learning, and that motivation takes on the form of affection between the two. The slave accepts her training because she knows it’s her Master’s wish for her to learn the things she needs for the relationship to succeed and grow. The training should also be beneficial to the slave as she should grow as a person during the training process as well.  I believe that the training process should be at it’s most controlling to begin with and gradually diminish as the process continues and the slave learns what’s expected of her and gains experience over time and not the other way around.  It’s been my experience that if one starts slow and works up that it leads to negative feelings and not positive ones, and of course that’s counterproductive to the process as well.  If it starts hard and gets easier, then with each process the slave sees and understands the progress she’s making and is eager to continue the training, and many times seeks additional training as well. The more a slave is taught the more beneficial she becomes to the Master and the relationship.

I’ve also learned that there are times to suspend training.  Sickness of the Master or slave, are the first reasons for suspension.  No training should exist for a slave that is not well enough or healthy enough to accept the training, nor should a Master teach if he is sick in one way or another as he cannot fully concentrate on the training process either.  If Illness persists over time then one has to look at the cause and make adjustments. If the illness is severe enough or of long enough duration, then training should be abandoned and alternative relationship processes should be considered. Both the Master and slave must be generally well for training to be effective.  Another time to suspend training is if a catastrophic event happens to either the Master or the slave. Catastrophic events tend to remove all possible levels of concentration for one or both in the relationship and when that happens, no effective training can proceed.  Accidents during training: While every good trainer wants to be careful in everything that’s done, accidents sometimes happen. It’s inevitable. When an accident does happen, the Master should suspend the training until the accident can be rectified and discussed between the Master and slave, however long that might take.  If there is healing that must occur, then training is suspended or taken in a different direction until the healing process is complete and the slave is ready to continue.

As a final note to a much longer blog than planned, some words about safety during training.  While we all try to be safe during play, I’ve found that the level of safety during training should be at the highest possible level without exception. While accidents do happen from time to time safety should be of prime importance and be right next to obedience during training.  If a slave is told to “be still” during training and she moves then accidents can occur. Likewise if a Master makes a misjudgment during training accidents can also occur. It needs to be instilled that safety is one of the primary tools for successful training and should never ever be compromised, under any circumstance by either Master or slave.
