A few months back I was looking for
blog ideas and I received some great suggestions! One of them was the question “How much privacy
does a slave have?” Thank you to MyNameIsMine!!!!!
The easy answer is none.
The more complex answer is as much as the
Master decides they have- which in essence is none because ultimately the
Master can take away that privacy at any moment.
It is important to keep in mind that
there are different types of privacy, I tend to lump them into three different
categories: privacy of things, privacy of the body and privacy of the mind.
As far as privacy of things I have
no interest in riffling through my slaves stuff, monitoring her correspondence,
or listening in on her phone calls. she does have her own room, were she keeps
her belly dance attire and her herbs and sundries. That room is hers, she can care for it as she
sees fit, and I lay no claim to it. I
have no interest in that, and in fact, feel a certain amount of pride that I
can provide that space for her. I know her email passwords, and have access to
all correspondence, but don’t use it unless I am looking for something- a phone
number, directions, or the like. And I
will tell her that I am accessing her account and which one.
Why?
Because my slave likes to buy me presents when we have a little extra
coin- and sometimes she will need to access things herself to keep me from
finding my next present. I have no issue getting presents, so this does not bother
me. On the flip side, she also has access to all of my email as well. It isn’t
uncommon that I will need her to contact someone for me -as me.
As far as bodily privacy, my preference
is that she is nude, especially during chores, so she spends most of her time
that way. I REALLY love that…. I also
track her medications because I order then before they run out, so I know what
she takes, how much and how often.
That leaves privacy of the mind,
which in my opinion is the only kind that matters. The rest of privacy is
relatively easy- it is space, stuff, geography, tangible, and visible. But not so
with emotional privacy- that is a huge risk. That is where the heart of the
slave lies.
Emotional and intellectual privacy can be very
invasive when taken away because it is such a risk to let someone know what you
are really feeling and thinking. It
risks everything. It means that when I ask her what she is thinking and
feeling, that she tells me, even when she doesn’t want to, or is afraid to say
those things. Afraid of my reaction, afraid of what I will think of her, afraid
of what she will think of herself once the words are out of her mouth.
The issue of privacy is a very
personal one for every Master and for every slave. It has to do with where that
Master feels their connection to power; do they feel empowered by having
control over the slaves stuff? Over the slaves body, or being a part of the
slaves mind? For some Masters, stuff is
enough- they get off on controlling everything from what the slave reads, has
access to, and can use in the home. I once heard a Master talk about how their
power came from limiting and approving each correspondence that the slave had-
from their phone calls, to email- to letters. For others their power comes from
the slave’s body, this can include everything from what the slave eats, wears and how they move.
But for me those things are the window
dressing. For me, what is the point of telling my slave what to wear, when what
I really need to know is that she is struggling with how she views herself as a
slave, as a leader and as a wife.
