Master/slave Mastery: Updated handbook of concepts, approaches, and practices

About this book:

A servant serves Master’s needs or is fired;
A slave serves Master’s wants or is released.

However, Master’s wants must not trump slave’s needs,
Even when playing by RACK standards.

slave is in service to Master;
However, Master is in service to the relationship.

Welcome to the complex and elegant
World of Master/slave relations.


This is a revised and substantially expanded version of my prior book, Master/slave Relations: Handbook of theory and practice. Even if you’ve read that one, this is substantially different. This is a book both for people starting out in M/s and also for people who have been involved for a few years.

The second book in this series, Master/slave Mastery: Refining the Fire – ideas that matter is intended for those who have been involved with the Master/slave world for 5+ years. Together, these books are core readings for anyone interested in living in a structured, authority-imbalanced relationship.
