"O" is for Ownership

[gracieflower]

Ownership, absolute ownership - 1) Within master/slave role play ownership means having control of the submissive. 2) Loosely used in the SM community to mean an ongoing dominant/submissive relationship. 3) Absolute ownership is a lost-in-fantasy relationship based on sadomasomythology and fictional lore.

Many people I know personally woulf disagree with having only the abovementioned 3 options.

Ownership is a very real and literally-meant relationship dynamic.
This means that the Owner has complete say...and the submissive is quite literally His/Her property.

Some would argue it is the Master/slave dynamic in another jacket. But Owner/property has less historically negative connotations.
