	TSR : Web boards : Internal Enslavement : "To be released" To be released (10) This post is on the Internal Enslavement web board. Mon 20 Apr 09, 10:41 PM 522-357-290 3 yrs I have been observing this site for a while now, but this is my first post. I would appreciate some advice please. I have only been with my Master a short time and have never had this type of relationship before. However I do feel that already I am internally enslaved to Him and will do anything in my power to please Him. I have the extreme honour to be considered His slave. As a token of my devotion, I intend to be branded with his symbol. My problem is that from the start I always knew that before the end of this year, He will have to leave and that I will be released. My question is therefore, how do I prepare myself for when the time comes and I will be set free? Any advice will be gratefully received. Thank-you slave 20 Apr 09, 10:53 PM Paper_of_the_Pen CA, 3 yrs Why are you branding yourself for a non-permanent relationship? 21 Apr 09, 1:29 AM slave_emma US(OK), 6 yrs Y! Hi 522-357-290, To answer your question, I don't think there is any easy way to transition out of a relationship. But there are things you can do that may help ease the stress a little bit. I feel that when a relationship ends for whatever reason, there needs to be time for that person to reflect on the relationship. When I left my former Master, I did not start seeking another Master for about a year. I did this so I could understand what I had learned from that relationship and to figure out what I really wanted from a Master. Taking this time allowed me to look inside myself and grow as a person. It helped me figure out who I want to be as a person and as a slave. I strongly feel that if I did not take this time I may of never found the perfect Master. I do feel that, if you are not already employed you should look at finding a job. Obviously, having money of your own will allow you to survive without a Master. I would suggest that you make sure that you have your living arrangements setup to take affect the day your service to your Master ends., if not a week or two earlier. In the mean time, I only suggest that you enjoy this opportunity and look at it as a way to grow. Best wishes, slave emma Master Howard's little girl 21 Apr 09, 1:33 AM Lion_Heart US(UT), 3 yrs Y! 522-357-290 wrote: To be released My question is therefore, how do I prepare myself for when the time comes and I will be set free? slave I'm thinking that now is the time to prepare for the inevitable if you know for sure you are going to lose your Master. Perhaps you might want to reconsider branding yourself, though exemplary in your devotion to Him, it will always serve as a reminder to you of Him when in fact you will more than likely give yourself to a new Master at some time. Bear in mind that your feelings for a new Master could be just as strong as the one you have right now. You might currently find that hard to believe, but it's something you might want to think about. Ultimately, you know best the reasons behind having a permanent branding, so that's your call. In the meantime, if you have enjoyed your experience, and know for sure that you need to continue being submissive with a new owner at sometime, you might want to start keeping your eye out on the postings on TSR. By doing so, you will get to know the personalities of those who post and who are looking to control a submissive. Consider also having a temporary online/LDR with someone to fulfil your needs, if that's possible, until a more permanent relationship is found. Also, take a look at your bio and make sure it's up to date with your submissive requirements/needs. Sorry to hear you will be losing Him. I take it that having an on-line/LDR with Him isn't a possibility? Anyway, good luck in finding a new Master for the future, and until then I'm sure there will be many on here you can confide and rely on for help and support. One last thing, I would suggest not jumping into a new relationship with the first one that comes along. Get to know Him/Her by emails, memo's, online chat, phone, and even visits if possible ........then go for it Lion Heart 21 Apr 09, 11:22 AM Sklavos_mou_Kyriah 3 yrs Lion_Heart wrote: 522-357-290 wrote: To be released My question is therefore, how do I prepare myself for when the time comes and I will be set free? slave (snipped) Sorry to hear you will be losing Him.

Get to know Him/Her by emails, memo's, online chat, phone, and even visits if possible ........then go for it Lion Heart Under Ancient Greek Law a slave could be maunumitted if they could no longer serve directly to their Master. Manumission granted partial freedom in that the slave could go about his/her business as if free but were still the property of the owner and could be recalled at any time. It was LDR early Hellenic style. There are several accounts extant of slaves being on one island in the Hellenic archipelago and their owner on another, sometimes some considerable distance away and at some point a messenger being sent for the slave to rejoin Master/Mistress. Perhaps you could discuss this possibilty with Master? But if it turns out this is not an option, then follow Lion Heart's advice, take you time in finding a new Master/Mistress. Don't go taking one on the rebound. Best of luck to you. Edited to correct typo. To be a true slave is to be truly free Slave/Sklavos Edited 21 Apr 09, 11:23 AM by Sklavos_mou_Kyriah 21 Apr 09, 5:27 PM Nemesis_x UK, 4 yrs Omocha wrote: Why are you branding yourself for a non-permanent relationship?

I don't feel there is anything wrong with taking a permanent mark to symbolize something... even if the relationship is only temporary. Who can truly say a relationship is permanent or not anyway? And why should that be a prerequisite? Sir Seven Edited 30 Jun 09, 2:26 PM by SirSeven 25 Apr 09, 7:02 PM allalone47 US(OH), 6 yrs branding is done when a slve gives themself to there owner for life. Not for a temp basses. As for what you will do wehn reliesed that is up to you but you will get a feeling as if you are lost in a round room. you need to find something to hold onto till you find a now owner 26 Apr 09, 8:20 AM Malkinius US(IL), 5 yrs Greetings girl.... Two pieces of misinformation to clear up. First. Manumission is the act of totally freeing a slave. There is no "you can act free but you are not really free" in the term at all. I believe that was true for the Greeks, the Romans and everyone else who has used the term or the ancestors to the term from my quick online searching. Second. Branding or marking can be done to anyone for any reason. There is no "branding only in a permanent relationship". If you want to wait to do that, fine, wonderful...go for it. But there are no rules saying yea or nay to it. Some groups might have that as a custom, but there are no universal rules in BDSM. (Sorry all you folks who buy into the "one true way" of doing BDSM. There will always be people who ignore your way of doing things.) But...other than those two things, if he is going to release you and it sounds like he will based on something he is doing at a specific time, then the two of you and especially your Master should decide what you are going to do leading up to that point to lessen the impact of his leaving and your being released. If he can help you find a new Master, that might be enough to reduce the impact of his leaving. Master/slave relationships can be very intense ones. The 24/7 ones even more so. You can both step back and loosen the bonds of slavery as time gets closer to your parting. That too will help. But...in the end...only the two of you will do it. Trust your Master to do the best for you in this as it sounds like he has done in other things. Be well.... Malkinius 26 Apr 09, 7:55 PM Sklavos_mou_Kyriah 3 yrs Malkinius wrote: Greetings girl....

I believe that was true for the Greeks, the Romans and everyone else who has used the term or the ancestors to the term from my quick online searching. I suggest you do further research. Evidence of what I maintain under the "Articles of Athens" 500 BCE up to the Roman Occupation can be found in Diary of Bronteas in "Aphrodite's Island" by Stass Paraskos Memorabilia (circa 431-355 BCE) by Xenophon. There are English translations to be found The Householder - Aristotle "Articles" (circa 384 - 322 BCE) by Demosthenes. This last one clearly states the position of manumitted slaves under Athenian Law extant in the period. However, under the Roman system this was formalised further whereby a manumitted slave was indeed totally free. The Roman and Greek systems of society had one major difference with the use of slaves. Slaves under the Greeks were an integral part of society as a whole. The classic example would be of the Spartan hoplites who were state owned slaves by definition yet their loyalty was unquestioned. Indeed, so far as I am aware there is no record of a slave revolts under the Greeks, not even during the Peloponesian Wars. Unlike the Romans who had to suffer several slave uprisings, the story of Spartacus being but one. Their -the Roman - system did not allow for slaves to be integrated into society. Certainly not in the early days of the empire. But later, under the PAX ROMANA, formalised manumission was put in place. This usually required formalising before a magistrate. To be a true slave is to be truly free Slave/Sklavos 28 Apr 09, 3:14 PM Paper_of_the_Pen CA, 3 yrs Malkinius wrote: Second. Branding or marking can be done to anyone for any reason.

I don't think anyone here believes in the 'one true way' and if one had...I don't know, read some of my past posts on said subject, it would have been blatantly clear that I do not hold to any such belief.
