Hi dynamicbuttler,

The answer for Nat is both. Though he was "owned" by a man, he was often loaned out for perioda of time and experienced many partners. His owner was also into staging elaborate scenes and parties where Nat might be displayed or used as his owner desired. The term
"Stockholm Syndrome" applies to his past situation.

Nat and I have a thread here:

I've been remiss in updating it lately. It's been over a year and 1/2 since Nat and I began our BDSM relationship and we are still going strong.
