I had put an entry on my 360 page, stating to ask ME a question. Any question. The one that got posted was "Imagine, you knew some Arabian Prince and he gave you a 17 year old slave as a 'present', innocent and willing to learn anything, what would you teach him to do? :-)"

That got put on My 360 page on Thursday February 1, 2007 - 04:19am (PST) by a guy named Zack, whom I have since lost contact with.

It took ME some time to give a thoughtful and proper response. This is what I wrote :

[ I presume that this Prince, in considering this gift would make it a male slave .. knowing you as I do by your blog and profile, I am guessing this is the case .. and that the Prince would know a gift that would please Me ]

Respect - Respect for self, respect for position, respect for the slave's betters, respect for the slave's brothers in servitude.

Pride - Pride of position, pride of affiliation and being an Owned Person, pride of accomplishment

A proper and servile attitude both throughout the day and throughout the slave's life, without loosing the ability to carry out duties in the taking care of the House.

Devotion to the Master, to His House and to His Family.

Being a proper servant - household duties, from cooking and cleaning to laying out the next day's clothes

Relationship / companion - to be able to interact not solely as a slave, but as a member of a Leather Family, to be able to enjoy life, play games, participate in recreation, for the Master's amusement and enjoyment.

Protocol - From proper form of address of the slave's Owner, to how to act in the presence of other Masters / slaves / general public - to even which slave opens the first of a set of doors when going into a building.

Proper hygiene and cleanliness - of both the slave himself and the slave's duties for the Master.

To have the slave be secure in his position and in knowing that he is loved, and despite the turmoil of the world that surrounds Master and slave, he has the Master's protection. Being secure in his position, the slave is able to approach the Master about the needs of the House, and those within, including the slave's needs.

Intimacy sex and kink is listed last as that is a minority of what a full line slave is about. Not that it is unimportant, it is. However, with the others listed first, it makes more for a submissive to be true to himself. Starting with being comfortable with the slave's own self, his body, being able to accept the Master's touch, both gentle and harsh, to be able to eroticize whatever the experience the Master has for the slave, to be comfortable in minimal seasonal clothing [ have to put it that way, there has been snow on the ground for weeks here ] in public, and comfortable in nudity when with the Master; to know, accept and enjoy changes/ modifications to the slave's body that please the Master, from denuding, to ink and body jewelry. To be a good sexual submissive in oral and anal sex, more than just accepting it, taught to be able to enjoy it, to be able to eroticise the experience, perhaps even *need* it, if not already within the slave. Kink, from pleasing multiple persons in various roles to bondage, discipline, fire, wax, electro, hypno or whatever it would be within the slave's physical limits to please the Master, and accepting the Master's work to expand those limits.

Through all this, the slave will come to love the Master, perhaps even be in love with Him. This is inevitable. Being content that though the Master may love the slave, that the feeling is as strong, it is never the same in what the Master's love for the slave is. And this is okay too.

Perhaps not the answer you were looking for, Zack, but an honest one.
