Rapture's Musing

Rapture's Musing is either an emotional masochists dream or to the lay person, a nightmare of a read. If there has ever been a blog that negatively portrays consensual slavery, than this is it folks. Never have we read a more confused "slave's" (using the term extremely lightly) musings as we did when reading this blog. It's almost a shit or get off the pot scenario, to put it bluntly. This slave has no business in an M/s relationship let alone posting her neurotic ramblings for the internet world to read. What we all asked was, "Where the hell is this ones Owner and why hasn't he done something about this travesty called a blog."

We can't stress enough for people new to M/s not to read this blog. We can sum up her blog in one word: miserable. This is a woman who writes the same crap repeatedly but in different words and uses different headings to express the same sentiment, misery. Miserable is how you will feel if you sit and read this blog as we did. It was beyond painful and guess what, we couldn't get the time back we spent reading this drivel.

From her assorted physical and mental health issues, we get the feeling that M/s is not a good lifestyle for her. She constantly feels like a failure, has no will to be a slave in the first place and again we ask ourselves, "Where the hell is the Owner and why is she off her meds?" Apparently they are married so they must be living together, so does he just not care how this reflects on him or does he not care for her or their M/s union. We believe it's a combination of all and this is the sort of couple that gives M/s a bad name.

On top of all this misery, these two have now got three children to contend with and maybe they will open their eyes once and for all that M/s is not a good life choice for them as a couple. Hopefully they can salvage what they have left between them and become good parents to these children and just live as husband and wife. That apparently is what she has been hoping for all along.

If you are into drama ala' Jerry Springer style, than read this blog but if you really want to learn about M/s as a lifestyle, then do yourself a big favor and skip this one.

SD! Formerly known as TSR

In the beginning there was a message board that formed around the notion that M/s could be done 24/7 and a refuge was created. It was a place where you did not have to constantly explain that “yes you can live this 24/7”. A place where the idea was a starting point for interesting conversations with likeminded individuals, who were interested in branches of psychology and theories that grew from them. It was not busy, but it was intellectual.

Slowly the place grew and became the Slave Register, where you could register and receive a personal number that was yours alone. If you changed your owner, you could change your details to reflect this. Some people took a great deal of pride in their numbers and had them tattooed on their person. The boards were used by people who were often well educated, thoughtful and capable of holding a well mannered debate.

TSR prospered and grew larger with every passing day. Over time more people joined that were often more strident in their one twue wayism and more often the debates got bogged down in the definition of terms, despite them being clearly defined. Still the board grew and changed. Being a largely unmoderated site (it had never needed them in the past) debates grew more contentious.

Seeing what was going on, the owner decided that part of the problem was conflict between those who lived 24/7 and those OLR so he opened the doors wider and encompassed their needs with boards of their own. Meanwhile his circumstances had changed from M/s to D/s so the focus was changed to incorporate this and the M/s became a subsection of 24/7. He changed the name and one morning SD! was born.

So where are we now? is probably a question on the lips of many. The insightful, intelligent and lively debate is more strident, aggressive and illiterate than it once was and many of the members who gave it the character and flavor have left or become silent. It still grows with every passing day, but it is not the haven for 24/7 M/s that it was. Which is a great shame, but we are sure very few have noticed or will admit that bigger is not necessarily better.

g Tight Laced Slave

If you can only do a long distance M/s relationship at this time, than there is no better, more informative blog than g Tight Laced Slave. g takes us on a journey from when she is first collared to her Master G, her first corset, piercings, butt plug and gag. She travels back and forth between her home and the state of Florida where he resides quite often.

In vivid detail, we the reader seem present at every exciting, sad, happy, and joyful moment of her new life as a slave. We read the slight fear of when she made the mistake of opening the car door instead of waiting for her Master to do it for her. We relished in the joy she had of her new collar, new labia piercings and the funny moments going through security at the airport. One of the most fascinating posts was of her corset party. A small gala affair for friends that was not only catered at a bed and breakfast but also had a corsetiere who lectured on the history of corsets and brought some extraordinary examples with her to show them.

Another thing we found interesting was her depth of honesty about her Master being a white man and that she is black. It's an interesting insight into both of their minds as to why she wanted a white Master and he a black slave.

What we at LBR love about this blog is the realness and insight into an M/s relationship that right now must be long distance. What is different than most LDR relationships is that this couple has made time to see each other often. Sometimes for very long weekends, a couple of weeks or even a month here and there. This is certainly an incredible blog to read for anyone and not just people in long distance M/s. This blog is full of pictures, knowledge and many great ideas. When you have some spare time, since it's a long read like any good book, please do yourself a favor and take a journey into g slave's world. You won't regret it.

Under His Hand

So you want to be a slave, not one of those pampered make-believe ones, but the other kind. Well before you step off the kitty litter or the pillow, here is something to read. Under His Hand is the blog of a slave or a cunt if you prefer her term, as she explores the “ups and downs of a Master/cunt relationship”.

It is compelling reading and even if you are not that much of a pain slut, there is definitely food for thought in her entries. It is a candid, no hold bared examination of a life many outside the lifestyle would find deeply disturbing. Actually there is probably a few in the lifestyle who would find it disturbing. Amongst the M/s there is warmth, humor and a keen sense of self depreciation in her blog and even when being cheeky and irreverent, it is never disrespectful.

This is the blog of a woman who has found her place in the universe and while many would question her choice, you never question her commitment.

Thoughtful Kajira

Every once in a while you stumble across a blog that is neither good, bad nor tragic, but strange. Really strange. Now the net is full of these, but this one is interesting. Written by a law student in college it journals her progress in Second Life Gor. Don’t groan all those people can’t be wrong. She goes back, after an absence, determined to stay out of the politics and intrigue. Of course she fails miserably, but that is not what makes this interesting. What makes this interesting is that it becomes the chronicles of someone whose real life and SL start to blur in a rather disturbing fashion.

As stated in the beginning she goes back with good intentions and blogs about her interactions with the Masters and slaves, often giving keen insight into the goings on. A veteran role-player, she states” I’ll never be anyone’s slave in real life, and I think most would agree that would be a waste of who I am” and then warmly embraces the life of a slave in, if not all, a very large chunk of her spare time. We are taken on sightseeing trips with her and her master. Follow them as they build a life together and are Included in her joy as she is registered on TSR. We are embroiled in politics, intrigue and the game playing of others. All of this is interspersed with tales of her RL dog, family and friends as they slowly bleed into her SL blog.

It is a riveting read that is often thought provoking, but the reader is left to wonder where one life ends and the other begins. Maybe that is the attraction of having a SL.

So ratings on the meter 0/5 for all, but can we start a new category for strange because this would get a 5/5

Thoughts From Inside

Thoughts From Inside is a blog written by a slave named Yarakot, which is both educational and very thought provoking. It deals mainly about M/s from a psychological, philosophical and sociological viewpoint. She touches on a great many subjects from Learning How to Kneel Without Pain to an essay on Factors in M/s Failure: the Online Experience. Although her posts are sporadic, each blog entry is written with a passion for her lifestyle and comes across easily to the reader. Not once is the reader made to feel that she has ever questioned her lifestyle choice to become her Owner's property, something we have come accustomed to from many other slave or submissives blogs.

If topics like, Does Height or Attractiveness Affect M/s?, than this is a blog well worth the time to read. We are very sorry to report that she may not be blogging anymore. We don't know if this means she will delete her blog entirely or just taking a long break. We hope at least the blog will stay up so new M/s couples can learn from this enlightening, well informed established couple.

Educational Meter: 5 out of 5 - a must read for any serious M/s relationship.

Kitty Pet Skyler

This is another example of online fantasy at it's best. She living in the states and he living in Columbia. She thinks she's a slave and living it 24/7. Ok, all you can stop laughing because this couple is oh, so serious about their relationship. So serious that she was married in the beginning of the relationship which seems to be another online cliché and the seriousness continues with her having her master's best friend as her puppy. As the relationship progressed, she now lives with her sister, brother in-law and their kids. Can things get anymore confusing and out of control? Well wait, we have to remember this is online and not real. So in essence, her life can be chaotic since it can't be controlled from an online master in Columbia. However, she claims he has control over her day to day activities, her dress and just about anything else she does. When reviewing this blog and seeing her Christmas pictures of her out with her friends, we really have to wonder where was his control as she got more and more intoxicated? The short version is that he can't control her every move and her day to day activities. Certainly not from where he sits and honestly, we think he really doesn't want to but you read the blog and see for yourselves.

In an online relationship a couple can only do so much together via IM, webcam and phone. So how the hell can she do kitty play? She devotes a whole website on how to be a kitty yet she can only do it by cam or take pictures. Umm, that really can't benefit him unless he's jacking off to it. He makes her talk in third person, which is fine since we know many real time slaves that do it. However, she finds it too hard and doesn't even follow through on such a mundane order. Just like her pink velcro collar that she finds too much to wear at night and on certain days. Now he on the other hand doesn't follow through either in terms of his mastering of her. He doesn't correct her mistakes, and they are many and couldn't be bothered with filling in her online calender of things for her to do on a daily basis. He did start it but we guess real life gets in the way and his heart just isn't in it anymore.

This is another online couple that is in love so deeply that she even says a slaves creed everyday. But lately she has been complaining and bitching about her master not being there for her more and not feeling owned enough by him. Here's a wake up call. The man is in another country. You keep in contact online. How owned could you really be? Not very by most of the M/s community.

If you are feeling in a masochistic mood, we suggest this blog:

Slave Jane 07

This is the blog of a young woman on the path of becoming a slave. It would be nice to say that after a long and arduous journey she has a fairy tale ending, but that would be a lie. It would be better to say that the journey is more akin to climbing Mt Everest, without the parkas or the Sherpa. While it could be said that they both try very hard, there are a couple of problems that no relationship can survive- ineptitude and issues.

This grim little tale is interspersed with descriptions of how he punches kicks and beats her which seems to be their only common ground; they both enjoy that aspect of their life. Edited highlights of how he tried to fuck her sister when she stayed with them and his struggle to hold down a job and be a good master. All of this anguish is set against the backdrop of an underlying problem.

She has an issue with sex to the point she became immersed in puppy play to avoid having to have it. Now most people when faced with this problem in a partner develop a range of coping strategies; therapy, addressing the underlying issues, inflicting guilt, blackmail, begging and simply going elsewhere. Her master, realizing that this is what she was doing, developed a liking for doggy-style. Needless to say, with a heavy heart, she put away the dog bowls.

So for those who like their blogs with a good serve of trailer park initiative may we humbly suggest-

On the educational meter it rated a 0 out of 5, on the laugh meter a 0 out of 5 and on the pathetic meter a 5 out of 5.

Reckless Kajira

Here at LBR, we wanted to start our blog with a bang, and nothing says kaboom like the blog Reckless Kajira. At first glance you think this woman, is living the life of a slave real time, in the same home as her Master. Until you read further only to realize they are not only an online couple but a Gorean role playing, Second Life, online couple. Folks can it get any more pathetic? Why yes it can and read on if you dare.

This is a direct quote taken from her profile, "I have yet to experience slavery first hand, but hope to be a real slave eventually. I am using Second Life to learn as much about submission as possible. In Second Life, my favorite thing to do is spend time with my Master. I think he is absolutely wonderful, and I love him very much. " We find statements like this one funny since she probably never has met the man she calls "Master" ( we are using the term Master very lightly in this case) so, how can she love someone she has yet to meet and how can she learn to submit from online role playing? These are the questions we will try and explore throughout this review.

Lets talk slavery for a moment since she wants to eventually become a real slave. First of all, a slave obeys and hands all the control over to her M type. A submissive, submits to the M type on a day to day basis and regains most of the control over it's life. Now in the case of online relationships like the one we are discussing, she can only be a submissive at best and even that is pushing the envelope. If she doesn't want to submit to her "Master" at any given time, than all she has to do is turn off her computer. In fact this woman writes about running away from her "Master" in a recent blog entry. Hey lady, turn off your computer and presto, you have run away. How hard is that honestly? People that actually live this lifestyle know that a slave does not run away. For most, the thought never enters their mind but we guess when the role playing online couples have had enough, they have the option of turning off the computer and running away. We are sure some of the M types at LBR would just love to shut their s types off every so often.

She talks about how wonderful his skills are at being a 'Master' and how she respects him for his masterful skills. She must mean his typing skills are masterful. We have a problem with this line of thinking because anyone can be great at anything online if they are intelligent enough. When he can show his skills in a real time M/s relationship, then maybe this man should earn some respect. Until then he is just another fake wannabe, playing the role of a "Master" in SL. Skills within an M/s relationship are learned within the confines of a real life relationship. Anyone can read information on the internet but to actually hone and make use of what you have learned, it needs to be done in real time, not in some online fantasy world.

We have established the fact that this woman can not be a slave. So how can she write about losing her 'slave fire'? Good question and we will try and figure that one out as well. We here at LBR have talked about this term 'slave fire' and what it actually means. Well, no real time slave that we know of uses this term. It seems to be an online role playing term used to describe the burning within their online souls for their M type. We kinda think it's more like the burning in their groins before an orgasm from their online antics. Whatever the term, how could she lose it? Maybe from the depression of living a fantasy and not real life? Maybe from being tired of typing the words, "Yes, Master" instead of actually saying it to his face? Whatever the cause, as the reader reads on, you realize she has found her misplaced 'slave fire'. Thank God for that folks. Maybe it was in her underwear drawer.

She claims to be learning how to submit from her online relationship. From what we read, which is pretty hysterical to say the least, she can't even complete the simple task of eating three meals a day. We know, go ahead and laugh, we all did when we read that too. This just proves our point again that with online, a task that is given doesn't have to be done because it's all a game. If she can't do this simple task than how will she ever be able to do a list of tasks in a real time environment? The answer is, she won't because online role play is easy but living in an real time M/s is damn hard work for both the M type and the s type.

And last we are still pondering the 'love' issue. We can't seem to see how one can love an online character whether it be from role play or whom ever is typing on the other end of the IM message but for some reason these online 'Masters and slaves' are in love. We can only guess that these types of people are so lonely within their real time life, that an SL character to love is as good as it's going to get.

On the laugh meter we give this a 5 out of 5. For educational content relating to M/s, we give it a 0 out of 5. And last, the pathetic meter, we give it a 5 out of 5.
