I can't say that I agree with numbers quoted but I do agree that you have to know the sub/slave's past. I have had sub/slaves that have been abused and those that haven't been.

I also wonder what percent of the population has been abused in the USA I saw stats that say over 60 percent of the females have been.

I was with 2 other Doms 30 plus years ago that beat a Dom poser/abuser to a pulp and put him on a greyhound bus with instructions never to come back to the tampa bay area again. He convienced an unowned sub that he was a very experienced Dom. She was well know and somewhat simple girl that was a group pet and well like by us mean old Dominants.
