Is love a prerequisite for enslavement?

Is "it depends" an adequate reply? I know that some people feel intense D/s and M/s bonds without feeling love, but personally yes I do think I need to love someone in order to submit deeply to them. "That hurts......please don't stop!" | |

No. I don't believe it is a requirement. However, I do believe, like gal_rosa, I could never submit that deeply to someone I didn't love. Or does enslavement mean you have no choice but to love them? Basically, I'm a romantic at heart. Too many Mills and Boons as an impressionable teenage, I'm afraid. I won't even begin to tell you what effect Gor novel had on me at that tender age.

I need love its how I operate best however no no you do not need love. There are many who don't because their *need* to serve is much greater than their need for love.

Within my last relationship there was a brief period when I thought I had matched D/s and love but in the end I wanted more than she could, or was willing to give, so the love was conditional. I now seek out people who are looking for play to give me the experiences I believe I need without the romantic complications. I will never instigate sexual contact as this is not my main motivation but occasionally it has happened. While I am being honest and as I know there is a degree of secrecy here, due to my past lifestyle sexual contact is something I have indulged in a lot with many partners over the years so maybe my drive is now in decline. Furthermore in the interests of honesty there are other reasons I am moving away from sexual play for medical reasons which is probably another reason I am not looking for a relationship at the moment. I therefore believe it is possible to engage in slavery without love because without this belief I may never receive the experiences I desire. I would add there has to be a strong bond between the people involved. This is important for the openness required. I also like to be able to communicate on other levels too so there has to be some commonalities. M Space travels in my blood. And there ain't nothing I can do about it.

I think some sort of strong emotion is a prerequisite, but it doesn't have to be love. Love is probably the most constructive driving emotion, but even that doesn't have to be direct love of an enslaving figure. Love of oneself when enslaved, hate of oneself when not enslaved, fear of free will, fear of the world outside enslavement, love of a guiding principle that leads one to enslavement, are all possible driving forces that immediately spring to mind, but this is by no means meant to be an exhaustive list. Wisdom says: be strong! Then canst thou bear more joy. | |

Answering as a Master (only a slave can answer as a slave) To a certain extent the answer would be different if asked in the US or UK. The US having a more recent history of (non-consensual) slavery (in fact slavery - as ownership- was always banned in the UK apart from trading) From observation, in the US, it is not unusual for love not to be a prerequisite (though like an arranged marriage or non consensual slavery love can grow out of slavery)in fact I have seen discussions where it has been said that love spoils a Master/slave relationship In my case I can only enslave someone with whom I have a great emotional bond (or love) which is reciprocated. ^Thunder^ Edited 2 May 09, 11:00 PM by x_Thunder_x | |

I feel that while love isnt a prerequisite, it would be hard to sustain a relationship over many years without it. All couples have good and bad times, without love the bad times I think would cause break ups etc. fawn xxxx | |

Love to me is everything,
when i submit to my master when i give him my body i do it with love Anna x Sometimes because a woman is beautiful, she's not encouraged to be more, although she may have so much more to offer | |

CommanderBondage wrote: (via memo) The act of giving totally to someone else is an act of love. Therefore it might be easier to say under what circumstances would slavery not require love, and the answer of course is non consensual forced slavery. As far as slavery requiring love, then it depends on what depth and how seriously the "slave" enters into this arrangement.I believe it to be more meaningful if the giving is out of love, and to my mind it would reach a degree which no other reason would. It is quite possible however that "slaves" who are only in it for self gratification would not agree and be quite happy tobecome a "slave" without love. | |

I'm not sure if "self gratification" rather than "a desire to serve unconditionally" is the right phrase to use? As I said earlier my reply was from MY viewpoint rather, obviously, from a slave's ^Thunder^ |
