I've been told more than a couple times that i'd make a good "master" solely based on my ability to listen and focus on where other people are coming from.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I *kinda* even have someone wearing *my collar* in rl.. long story.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;But I think you have spotted somethin interesting.. All around us are people that WANT their decisions and options focused.. that WANT guidance.. and most of all want it to come from someone they trust to have their interests at heart. (I've always wanted more options personally)&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Like Naro..

So,...</title><content type='html'>Hey Karim - Nice you have you back my friend.  So, I had to comment on your introduction to this slavery piece. Obviously there is a big difference between US slavery and that found in SL...one is ultimately voluntary and the other was not.  Despite collars and a desire to keep in character with this slave/master role playing...one can always turn off their computer, create and alt, or do any number of things to break free.  I would imagine that if the repression was of a more permanent nature, it wouldn't exisit here in SL either.  &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I have to add that even I did a week or two stint of Master role play, but quickly discovered it just wasn't who I am. I find it so rare to find relationships where the power and respect are balanced between the two people. I feel I currently have such a relationship in SL but I think I am in the minority.  Sure...I may take the pink ball over the blue, but I don't convert that into a dom/sub relationship framework. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Anyway...my two cents. Welcome back friend, it's good to have you back.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8361370091505298417/9064308185821375439/comments/default/6533738575053220485'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8361370091505298417/9064308185821375439/comments/default/6533738575053220485'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.gayvatar.com/2008/10/masterslave-relationships.html?showComment=1223987580000#c6533738575053220485' title=''/><author><name>Naro Nagy</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.gayvatar.com/2008/10/masterslave-relationships.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8361370091505298417.post-9064308185821375439' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8361370091505298417/posts/default/9064308185821375439' type='text/html'/></entry></feed>
