I have to agree with what Curtis has to say, and I think it is vital to think through all the implications of long term bondage or even short term restraint if a slave's Master is not in the house/apartment/wherever. Obviously a Master should take 'every precaution' but we have to accept the fact that life is not 100% safe at any time. I say that with some feeling as I have just spent five months or so in hospital, during which I had two (in layman's terms) brain operations after a car crash from which I emerged, as was first thought, relatively unscathed. All of which left me with a great sense of my own mortality, but also realising that none of us is going to live forever.

Please don't think I am advocating being careless when it comes to how a slave is restrained; the reverse is true. But, speaking for myself and not encouraging anyone to follow my lead, I get an enormous charge out of realising that, when under restraint, there is an element of danger involved. In fact I am happy to leave it 100% to my owner and let him do exactly what he wants. After all, if anything does happen to me - fire, suffocation etc. - he will be the one who'll have to pick up the pieces metaphorically. So I know that he will arrange things so he is not left with a situation that would be more than embarrassing. So he is the one who is incredibly careful while I cheerfully take whatever is coming. (Okay, NOT always cheerfully! LOL)

So, as so often in a D/s relationship, it is my poor owner who really has to make all the big decisions and take all the responsibilities. Being a slave/subbie/possession is far the simpler and easier side of a real D/s relationship. And I frankly love that.......................

Having said all that, I would urge people to be very careful, specially those new to this lifestyle. there are so many pitfalls and a whole raft of dangers. And life IS very precious.

Oh, how long have I spent under restraint non-stop? I suppose it was about three weeks; one glorious holiday when my owner kept me restrained in some way all the time, often silenced, sometimes blindfolded and occasionally even ear-plugged. it was a totally out-of-this-world experience overall, although I have to admit that there were times of incredible boredom. LOL Would I do it again? Like a flash !

Love
Jane

(This was the theme of an extremely disappointing novel by Stephen King.)

By the way, how has this worked out for you? Could we please have an update?
