The Two Parts Of A Master/slave Relationship

In my opinion there are two parts to a Master/slave relationship. Often I’m told that most everyone views it as only one, but I disagree with that viewpoint.  I believe that the two parts consist of A. Living together and doing the normal things that life requires and in some cases demands.  B. Erotic Play. When explained that way most people say, “well yeah, of course”, but I believe they are two totally separate entities and should be treated as such for the Master/slave relationship to be successful.

To talk about Erotic Play first, is the simplest.  It includes everything that the Master and slave do in the way of lifestyle play without exception. That covers a lot of territory for many people but in reality, that’s just not all there is to the Master/slave relationship. While it may be an important part to some, for the total relationship to be successful, I believe it to be the lesser of the two aspects.

Living together as Master and slave represents the greatest part of the relationship and, in my opinion should be viewed with the attention that this aspect of the relationship deserves as it’s the most important to the relationship being successful. Living together is something that Master and slave do every day of their relationship and it is there that the primary focus belongs.  How the Master and slave interact together, what’s expected of each other and how that all comes together requires the utmost planning care and cooperation between the two. It is the Master’s responsibility to ensure that the day to day life is running properly and without problems to the greatest extent possible. While this takes a lot of thought and planning I believe that it’s the most important aspect of that relationship. The slave also has an important role in this as well. It s the slaves responsibility to perform those things that are expected and assigned to her to the best of her ability, to interact with the Master and to communicate all necessary things to make sure that the day to day things get accomplished properly.  When all of this comes together and functions in an appropriate manner the Master/slave relationship has a much better chance of being successful, and that of course, I believe is the primary goal.

Regardless of the couple, there are always times when there is disagreement about one thing or another, whether expressed or not. These things need to be discussed and dealt with in an appropriate manner before they can affect the relationship. While it is the Master’s responsibility to deal with issues it is also the slave’s responsibility to follow the Masters desires in dealing with those issues.

Living together covers a lot of territory, and in fact much more than one would imagine. From the smallest act to the largest catastrophe that might affect the relationship, it all has to be “dealt with” effectively on an ongoing basis day to day by both Master and slave together. It all requires good planning, communication and even foresight to do this, but I feel it’s something that is a whole lot more important than what color flogger should be used today.

Yes.  Erotic play is an important part of the Master slave relationship, but in my opinion Living together successfully is much more important than any other aspect of it all.
