I am really not sure
what the motivation behind concealing the truth and realities of
consensual slavery is, as can be seen so often in other groups professed
to APE/TPE lifestyle, or in the mainstream BDSM community in general.
Maybe some might think one can catch more flies with honey.
Masters however, need
slaves who enter an APE/TPE with awareness, not flies.
I'm afraid much more
damage is done to the newcomers and aspiring slaves, by romanticizing,
beautification and modification of the reality of the APE/TPE lifestyle.
This is not a
membership drive and we are not recruiters. Well, at least I'm not.
I truly believe it is
imperative that aspiring slaves are confronted with the truth, and
nothing but the truth. An aspiring slave must know and understand the
realities of APE/TPE slavery, its dynamics, structures and what is
expected of them. And that without romanticizing and beautification and
preferable before they accept a Masters collar and enter into a APE/TPE.
A slave has no rights
nor does she have the luxury of saying no to Master. She has no limits
of her own and will accept and adopt her Masters boundaries. A slave
might be broken, and if necessary completely, humiliated, degraded and
mold and rebuilt, to her Masters wants, needs and specifications, and
yes, a Master will do as he sees fit. A slave has no more control, her
time and her body is no longer hers. She lives and exists only to serve
and please her Master. A slave will serve, obey and submit, or face
punishment, some more then others. A slave might be beaten, caged or
gagged and many other things she never dreamed of. Once she consented
and accepted her Masters collar, she is no longer free. She is her
Masters slave and property.
Slavery is not all about the slave. It is in fact, all about the
Master. APE/TPE is not Vanilla Kink, it is not Dom/sub BDSM role play.
APE/TPE is consensual slavery. Absolute and unconditional.
I truly believe if
aspiring slaves are properly educated, informed and prepared, confronted
with the realities beforehand, without holding anything back, there
would be a lot fewer “slaves” running and crying "abuse".
And that is exactly
why I am dedicated to let the newcomers and aspiring slaves know up
front what the realities of APE/TPE really are. And that is also why I
do not sit idly by, when “Vanilla Thinking”, misconceptions or
misleading distortions and statements creep up.
Modern day consensual
slavery is quite possible both, “real” consensual slavery, and an
old-fashioned or ancient form of marriage, as in ancient times the
dynamics of marriage were more then similar to our modern day consensual
slavery.
As marriage,
consensual slavery is vowed and committed by word of honor. Even that
marriage has always been vowed before “God” does not change the fact,
that it rest entirely on the consenting parties, honor, integrity,
respect and most of all their sense of loyalty.
What has however
changed is the laws of mostly the western society, which turned
“vanilla” in regards of marriage.
In ancient times,
marriage vows were enforceable by the husband (Master) in accordance
with the laws of the respective society. Nowadays, divorce or separation
is enforceable by the wife (slave) in accordance of our now “vanilla”
society.
However, the meaning
of commitment through ones word of honor is unchanged.
This is the reason
that a slave cannot release herself from her Masters collar without her
Masters explicit consent and approval. When a slave consented to be her
Masters slave, she gave up that right, and must now be held by her word
(vows) of honor.
Even today there
remain many societies in which divorce is not legally possible, and even
in some societies where divorce is legally possible, the wife will
remain a “chained woman”, unless released by her husband.
Although the
commitment to consensual slavery cannot be enforced by the laws of our
society, the commitment and vows, are or should be just as much binding,
by word of honor.
Consent with
awareness saves all of us much time, effort and hurt feelings. APE/TPE
simply is not for everyone, and only an informed slave can consent with
awareness.
