Slave isn't a label you can really give yourself. You're not one till someone else has pinned it on you. The last thing it ends up having to do with is what *you* want.
I agree with what you say, Deliaday!
I consider myself a submissive who would LOVE to be a slave to my Man. He doesn't desire that level of control over me for extended periods , so you are ultimately correct. I may WANT to be a slave, but if He doesn't wish to take that level of control, it won't be taken!

Hopefully our lifestyle will eventually include others, so I am learning a lot about the terms and definitions and implications here. Thank you all!
