2. Ownership

Many cringe when they hear the word *Owned* as in I own you/him/her body, heart and mind.

“I need to be *owned* completely and in all ways! “

Some find the term to be degrading to humanity and others find it a soft caress of the depth of their devotion on either side of the whip.

I owned my slave as deeply as one human being could own another, and with this acceptance of ownership I committed to a massive responsibility for his safety and happiness. His desire and need to be owned by me cemented his joy in his obedience and service. We both liked the sound of the word *owned* whether it was uttered from his lips or mine. It was a private ingredient in our everyday lives.

Other submissives I have guided and dominated have brought me equal joy and have had different personalities that could not fathom the word *owned*. They were almost as committed and brought me incredible joy and responsibility as well.

One more explanation of NEED in a relationship CAN be ownership. Some subs crave it, need it and thrive through the simple word *owned*

It comes down to choice ...between the dominant and the submissive. A freedom of choice that is wrapped around sexuality rather than obligation.
