D/s & M/s

D/s is how we usually refer to a Dominant and submissive relationship (Dominant/submissive or Dom/sub also work).  And of course it is them easy to understand the M/s refers to a Master and slave dynamic (Master/slave).

So, what's the difference?  This is debated all over the net where such lifestyles thrive.  These relationships are mutually exclusive, they can (but don't have to) include other fetishes such as bondage or acts of S&M (Sadism & Masochism).  Each Master or Dom defines the relationship after consideration and negotiation between all parties.  At least, usually.  ;)  Sometimes it doesn't happen that way, but it should.

The slave or sub is actually the one who usually initiates this sort of relationship through its definition by the Master, or the Dominant party.  she does this by offering her submission to the One she trusts to guide her, enrich her and protect her.

The slave is molded by Master to become the embodiment of His will.  It is not the Master's command that makes the slave into His Masterpiece, it is the slaves personal strength, devotion and commitment to a trusted Leader that defines Him as a Master.  It is His ability to make quick decisions and sharp command in the interest of the team without having to worry about her feelings that defines her as His property.

A submissive retains free will.  A submissive does not give up all.

Any respected Dom or Master knows His property intimately and understands her limits.  Some limits are respected (as agreed) while some are pushed.

In either case the gift of submission is given and constant, until such time as it is withdrawn.  That is, the gift of submission is not given once, it is given all the time (until it is no longer).

The gift of submission is not held over Master as a threat to leave, it is the subservient one's conviction to herself (her true personality) in honor of her Master through their trust of each other.

Should the trust ever perish, so should the relationship, and submission needs to be withdrawn.
