Mistress Wolf Moon, Ma'am,

Both my Master and another Master with whom i am blessed enough to be closely acquainted, have had relationships either past or present with slaves who served them unconditionally and yet without sexual
'complications', as i once heard it labeled.

If You would be interested in corresponding with either or both of them, please feel free to email me offlist at slavetraci@adelphia.net, and i will put You in touch with them both.

i have, in the past, served a Mistress without a sexual relationship, and served a gay leather Master with whom i shared many interests, but not a sexual connection. Relationships like those have both a very unique dynamic and are without some of the issues that at times can cloud the path of other relationships.

With Respect for Leather and those who have earned the right to wear it -

i am Master Trent's slave, traci

Hi. I'm Wolf Moon, a bi female Top/Master living in the midwest.

I joined your group because I know of slave marsha through another website and have, over the years, heard many good things about both Master Jim and her.

I was hoping to find others to share information, specifically about non-sexual slaves. My slave b and I are very close, but I have never been interested in using her sexually. I have known very few others with relationships like ours in our local groups and would really appreciate having the opportunity to discuss related issues with someone who understands and has been there.

Thank you for your time,
Wolf Moon

slave marsha,

Thank you for your warm words. Slave caroline always speaks so highly of her leather family and i know she misses you when she is here. She has been trying to get me over there but finances and time have just not been right. There was some thought about the Festival in January but Master is not sure we can make it. i will talk to caroline when she is back about February (she is again over in the states and i'm looking forward to all the new stories she will have to tell me :)

i often feel very alone in the world. Only a very few people seem to understand what goes on inside my head. Slave caroline is wonderful in helping me sort through things when i go off the track and get lost. Master is the rock i cling to. His understanding, patience, and care keep me safe in what often seems to me a world gone mad. i really don't know what i would do without him. Muddle through i guess but i know i would feel only half alive.

Please give slave caroline big hugs for me when you see her again and my warmest to you all.

Dear slave rena and submissive_4u2001,

Thanks so much for your comments. i don't know about the two of you, but too often, i feel like i'm alone in the world in trying to live as a slave. It helps me tremendously to know there are others out there!

And submissive1_4u2001... i'll be seeing slave caroline in just a couple of weeks! Now we just need to get you over here to the States. (How about South Plains Leatherfest-International Master/slave Weekend in February?!)

Warmly,
marsha
slave to Master Jim

slave marsha,
i just read your message to SW Leather Weekend, Dec 2003, and i have to tell you, that that could have been myself speaking. All the way down to the words yoiu quoted from Ruth to Master Jim, which were what my Master and i had engraved on O/our wedding rings. Only you say it much more eloquently than i ever could have thought about saying. And i have only been a slave for the past about 6 years, it's been something i have always wanted. Thanks again.

I just wanted to say a quick hello to Master Jim and slave marsha. I was speaking last night to my dear friend, slave caroline, during our housewarming and saying how much I'd like to come to the states with her soon and meet you all. At the moment it looks like January and the Southwest Leatherfest might be my opportunity but I thought I would say a quick hello here first.

It is difficult in this part of the world to find good Master/slave relationship role models and slave caroline is a life line for me. She speaks highly of her leather family and of you both and we have many discussions on how difficult it can be, finding our way in this lifestyle we both need and choose. I am greatly looking forward to meeting you and others when I can make it over. I appreciate the words you put here on this site as they help me in my own journey. Thank you for taking the time to share here, helping others like myself.

Master Jim,

Thank you for being so open in your last post. I find Your continued living in Your truth and walking Your leather walk to be an inspiration.

i just wanted to thank Master Jim, slave marsha, and those in service to Him, that made South Plains such a WONDERFUL event!
i am hoping Master will bring me again next year!

I regret to report that I won't be attending South Plains after all. I have been looking forward to it since Southwest Leather and making plans to connect with a variety of old and new friends. However, we decided to move instead of renew our lease and the resultant expenses nearly emptied our discretionary fund. I decided it was better to wait to rebuild our "fun" money than go into debt. Is there any way I can sign up now to volunteer for South South Plains-International Master/slave Weekend 2006? <g>

Dear Leather Tribe,

It was great seeing everyone at SWLC, which turned out to be another fantastic conference. I have been feeling that I have not seen my extended leather family enough of late, and so we have made our reservations to attend South Plains Leather. I have heard many good things about this event, and am looking forward to seeing everyone there. I havent spent any time in texas (unless you count a short layover in houston) and am looking forward to seeing Dallas... We booked a room at the hotel as well. Now if we can just find a decent fare to get there hehehe.....

Warmly
MasterSteel

To answer the South Plains-International Master/slave Weekend question -- early registration will expire at the end of the day on December 10! Only 2 more days to get the early registration price...

M. D'Marie -- it's great to hear you say that SWLC has ignited a desire in you to be with your "family" at South Plains! That's been the dream Master Jim and i have had in fostering the regional contests/events -- to create a series of family reunions that all of us interested in M/s will want to attend.

We look forward to seeing you there.

Thanks to allspice for the very kind words. They mean a great deal to us.

Master Jim and i apologize that the blog has been so quiet. He and i have intended to write, but life just keeps getting in the way. As many of you know, Master Jim's youngest son committed suicide in early October, and so the last few months have been very difficult, to say the least. We hope to get back on track writing on the blog soon.

After a second amazing Southwest Leather Conference experience, I woke up Monday morning knowing that I can't afford to miss South Plains Leatherfest-International Master/slave Weekend. I know slave marsha announced Sunday that the early registration deadline had been extended, but I wanted to clarify until what date. I heard the 10th(Friday), but someone told me last night it is the 11th (Saturday). I want to make sure I am telling others the correct date.

Thank you to everyone here who presented, judged, and was present to make this event so wonderous. It amazes me that it was twice the size as last year, yet still felt like an intimate family gathering. And congratulations to all the new title holders and their leather families as well.

i just wanted to say a quick thank you to Master Jim and slave marsha for the site they are running...especially the blogs which have been so helpful in reminding me of my beliefs while i move into a new M/s relationship and my first collar. When i left the states many years ago to live in a new country i felt very isolated in my views and cultural ways, especially within the realm of bdsm. Many of the things i was taught and believed in in the US were ridiculed and derided in my new home. It was very difficult and it has taken many years to find my place and my peace.

I have at last settled down with a Master who has some experience with my cultural background and who hears what i say with an open mind. The blogs have been very helpful in opening up areas of discussion and saying things in ways that sometimes i struggle with. They have also helped me to explore my own mind as i come back to the truth of my earliest beliefs and needs. Service has been my life and is now my life with my Master. I'm finally home.

Thank you Master Jim and slave marsha for helping me sort through all the garbage i've accumulated along the way to find my way back to the heart of what i am and the journey i want to be on. Thank you for giving my Master other words to hear that help him to understand my heart and mind.
