... are not weak. I didn't say that. It takes a great deal of strength and courage to submit to someone and put your complete trust in someone. It does not, in my opinion, take much courage to blindly do whatever someone says without caring for yourself or your well-being.

Like I said in my previous post, those things could happen in real life, but probably not without charges being filed. I think I would want my submissive's written and notorized consent before I dropped her off at a stranger's house for a few months to be trained. I would also like to think she would enjoy some time to prepare for her extended stay. You know? Notify her family and whatnot. Those sorts of things tend to keep the FBI uninvolved.

Gor is romantic? Have you read the books?

Asylum: Been there, done it, have the shirt. No really. I do.

As for the previous post I missed for some reason:

I know one real-life 24/7 TPE slave. She does what she's told, when she's told, but even though she has completely given herself to submission, she and her master still have a contract that they follow. She is allowed to have her hardest limits not pushed. She also trusts her master not to do something that would hurt her or their relationship, like giving her away to a complete stranger on a moment's notice. I admire her level of commitment, but I also admire the fact that she didn't just give in and lose her "self" in the process of submitting.

As a famous Greek guy once said: If one does not have one's self, what does one ever really have?
