| Slave is a term often used in BDSM
to connote a specific form of submissive. A sexual roleplay
or consensual slave could also be a masochist
or bottom, but this is not always the case.
Connotatively it refers to highly committed domination and
submission (commonly abbreviated as D/s) relationships, as
a person who has surrendered their personal property and freedoms
to another, who has become the property or chattel of their
owner(s).
Some practitioners feel the difference between submissive
and slave is the degree of submission. However, many who are
involved in Master / Slave relationships see the difference
as one in kind, not in degree. In particular, some slaves
do not have a naturally submissive personality. |
