As for myself, the act of being kept, collared or owned, is what FUELS the relationship...it was once said (very wisely, I might add) that women give sex to get love, and men give love to obtain sex...MY Master DOES give me what I need. physically, emotionally...and in return he gets whatever he wants, wholly and unconditionally...and also my undying loyalty, as, in MY mind, he's earned it...
