I've started this week's O&P threads (about Consent) on the O&P groups on IC, on Fetlife, and on TSR. I'm now halfway through these threads about the ten O&P keywords :)... -

O&P groups on IC and Fetlife
Posted: September 17th, 2009, 4:22pm CEST
Tags: [edit]
I've created O&P (Ownership&Possession) groups on Informed Consent in the UK and on Fetlife. To get them going, I'm starting threads on these groups about each of the ten keywords on the O&P Manifesto, starting with Authenticity. -
Ownership & Possession (O&P) Manifesto
Posted: September 4th, 2009, 7:59pm CEST
Tags: [edit]
I've decided to try to express my beliefs about M/s and D/s, using the possession, property, and ownership framework that I've started talking about this year. I'm calling this structure "Ownership & Possession" or "O&P", so I have a shorthand for referring to it. The O&P Manifesto lists its ten main concepts. -

Possession and the Hyphenated Slave

What does "slave" mean? Is there only one type of slave? Is possession the same as ownership?... -
Changes
Posted: October 30th, 2008, 3:23pm CET
Tags: [edit]
I've never been one to post blow by blow commentaries of my relationships as they happen, and that's especially true when things are coming to a conclusion. But I think it's time to spell out how things are now. The short version is that I uncollared both lili and popi, and they have now both moved out. The rest of this post is the slightly longer version.... -
The Desire for Purpose
Posted: January 16th, 2008, 7:07pm CET
Tags: [edit]
Recently I've got interested in general motivations: what is the most general framework for why people do things? Are people following specific drives imposed by evolution, or is there some universal, such as Nietzsche's claim that everyone's motivation is The Will to Power. But how can that be true in a world with consensual submissives?... -
"The Control Book" by Peter Masters
Posted: April 17th, 2007, 1:38pm CEST
Tags: [edit]
Peter Masters had an outline of this book on his website since the early 2000s and if you're really curious some of these versions are still there on the Internet Archive site. However, he's now produced a printed edition, published by Jack Rinella in March 2007, and this review is based on that expanded version.... -
Slave Training
Posted: April 11th, 2007, 10:37am CEST
Tags: [edit]
I've been thinking about training this week, partly to write the Slave Training article for the Ownership Wiki. Like the word "slave" itself it has a wide range of uses, from the profound (as another term for enslavement) to the ridiculous (for paid SM sessions with a dominatrix.) I've avoided using the term in the past because of its vagueness, but I'd now like to put these two words to work with a plausible definition.... -
Review of "Master Nage's Guide to Training Consens
Posted: April 6th, 2007, 3:36pm CEST
Tags: [edit]
I've been away this week and took the opportunity to read Nage's book. It's one of a sudden flurry of M/s books which have appeared in the last couple of years. I think it's clear that it's the weakest of the current crop but I'm going to try to highlight the good points as well as the rest.... -
Obedience dynamics
Posted: March 26th, 2007, 7:37pm CEST
Tags: [edit]
In this post, I'd like to tie together the various concepts and terms that surround obedience in Master/slave and Ownership relationships. Words like resistance, reactance, discipline, rules, submission, and obedience refer to different parts of the puzzle, but don't have well-defined boundaries, and I'd like to suggest a consistent set of definitions and some new ideas to help visualise the various processes of obedience.... -
The Women Who Take Their Mate as a Master
Posted: March 2nd, 2007, 4:14pm CET
Tags: [edit]
In 1992 "The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Chattel" was published by Wilson and Daly as part of "The Adapted Mind", a collection of papers which established Evolutionary Psychology as a new way of looking at the mind in terms of evolution, and attempting to identify which aspects are the result of an evolved human nature. These evolved psychological mechanisms each made a contribution to survival and reproduction in the environment in which humans evolved, although many are no longer useful or even wanted by modern humans. Wilson and Daly's paper argued that one of these adaptations is that men take a proprietary view of women's sexuality and reproductive capacity, and that this is the basis for laws and traditions which formally treated women as owned by men. In this essay, I will apply these ideas to the understanding of heterosexual male dominants in modern day, consensual Master/slave relationships, and propose ways in which they can be extended to explain many female submissives' ability to enter an inescapable state of enslavement.... -
Review of "Evolutionary Psychiatry" by Stevens and Price
Posted: February 24th, 2007, 1:43pm CET
Tags: [edit]
This week I finished Evolutionary Psychiatry by Anthony Stevens and John Price. I've had this book since it came out in 2004, but up to now I'd only read the Sadomasochism chapter and some of the introductory material. Now that I'm getting interested in evolutionary models for Internal Enslavement again, I decided to read it in full - not least because they discuss social rank and dominance in detail as part of their attempt to explain some psychiatric problems. ... -
The Transferability of Ownership
Posted: January 25th, 2007, 7:32pm CET
Tags: [edit]
The sale of slaves is one of the recurring themes of BDSM fiction and many people's fantasies, and it's raised from time to time in the ownership subculture: How can the ownership of slaves be transferred? Can they be sold? And even, where can they be bought? I don't believe this is really possible, and I'd like to explain my reasoning about the issue.... -
"The Ties that Bind" by Vanessa Duries
Posted: January 24th, 2007, 7:03pm CET
Tags: [edit]
"Le Lien" ("The Bond" or "The Link") is an autobiographical account of a BDSM relationship by Frenchwoman Vanessa Duries. Following it's publication in 1993, she shot to fame and notoriety, and even appeared on French television, before dying in a car crash in the December of the same year, at the age of 21. I had high hopes based on reviews of the French original, but I'm quite disappointed....
