I believe and practice Safe Sane and Consensual BDSM. The stories all have elements of truth, some more than others, but at the end of the day they are stories. The subs I know and have known are real people with real lives. BDSM is not a 24/7 fantasy. Its an ultimately safe environment that they have given themselves over to based on considerable amounts of trust; which has to be earned. I am very privileged to have been trusted in this way on more than one occasion. If you love some one, especially a slave or sub; let them go. Don't imprison them. If they come back to you they were always yours. if they don't, then they never were. This is the one and only true test of a successful Dominant. Happy reading.........
