I'd like to hear from our forum members what you think about this contract?
Like you, Ruby, I think it's a disaster waiting to happen. I like the idea of a contract, perhaps for the supposed "romance" but especially when it tries to spell out many of the issues you articulated. For example, when pita and I get together (at last) this spring we will have a section spelling out my limits and relationship with her child as well as indicating the various limits we've both identified in our play lists and the more typical areas of concern.

I wonder if the contract GaelstormIRA posted is one that comes originally from some work of fiction ... as an actual life document it seems to miss most of the real issues to deal with the more spectacular and graphic concerns ... always to the detriment of the slave. Reading this, I see no purpose for the slave to have the contract except for one or two very vague references to lmits in drawing of blood and physical marking.

SubmissiveWife asked:
Is it acceptable to be 'slave' to my Master and be collared without a contract?
Yes, certainly. In fact I've more frequently run into people who think it's strange to have a contract. I think it is helpful in clarifying roles and responsibilities and so I'm comfortable with the idea, but not this form. As I said, I hope to be together in a couple of months with my sub. We'll have a fairly elaborate contract for the first year, reviewable by each of us at each three months. At the end of the year we hope to be able to revise it so that it has only a single paragraph of necessary statements which will be permanent; our feeling is that with experience we will only want a contract which is our pledge to one another.

As you can see, it's my opinion too that a contract is a negotiated document, not one like the sample which seems to have been dictated by the "Master."
