Iām a Master that seeks serious submissives who are looking for a life as my slave
ā
I am looking for men and boys who have a genuine desire to give up control and experience the role of possession. Here we are talking about a clear balance of power characterized by discipline, servanthood and mutual respect for agreed boundaries.
āWhat I am looking for:
āYou who thrive in the role of submissive/slave.
āYou who find satisfaction in serving, obeying and being guided.āPeople who are reliable, honest and secure in their own submission.
āWhat I offer:
āA steady and clear leading hand (Master).
āFocus on discipline, tasks and mental/physical surrender.
ā
āThe way forward:
First, I would like a conversation to map out chemistry, expectations, and boundaries. Write a little about yourself, your experience (or lack thereof), and why you are looking for an owner.
ā
You are looking for a "24/7 lifestyle"
The ABCs of Being a Faggot
A good faggot is the product of good education and training. And the foundation of everyoneās education, of course, is the ABCs. Hereās a new alphabet that every faggot should learn:
A is for Ass.Ā A faggot must always be prepared to sniff, eat and lick a Manās ass ā whether itās clean or dirty, smooth or hairy, dry or sweaty. As a faggot, itās your duty to be a human asswipe wherever and whenever your services are needed.
B is for Balls.Ā A faggot never neglects a Manās balls. Fresh from a shower or ripe and sweaty after days without a shower, His sack is your snack.
C is for Cum.Ā Cum is the staple of the faggot diet. Your primary source for sustenance, therefore, should always be seed. It is your lifeblood. Down your throat or in your ass, you need a constant supply of cock snot and must be willing to do whatever it takes to get fed.
D is for Dick.Ā A faggot exists to service and worship dick. Never forget it. His dick is your deity.
E is for Enema. Unless otherwise instructed by his Master, aĀ faggot always must keep his hole in pristine condition: clean, shaved and ready to be used at a momentās notice.
F is for Feet.Ā Figuratively and literally, faggots live at the feet of real Men. At your Masterās feet, therefore, is where you belong. Furthermore, itās your duty as a faggot to worship Menās feet. Stinky, sweaty, dirty, bare, socked ā it doesnāt matter. When youāre so commanded, you are to lick, sniff and suck your Masterās feet.
G is for Gangbang.Ā Faggots are ideal for sharing. Even if you belong to just one Master, therefore, you must be mentally and physically prepared to be passed around among Men, who will bond over the experience of sharing your holes.
H is for Hole.Ā Every faggot has two holes, both of which were designed to be used and abused by Men. It is not up to the faggot which hole is used; a Man may choose to occupy ā and, if He so desires, ruin ā whatever hole He pleases.
I is for Inspection.Ā Faggots are subject to frequent and thorough inspections by Men, who have the right to ensure their faggot meets their standards both physically and mentally. You must be prepared to have every inch of your body examined and prodded during an inspection, and ā at the discretion of the Man who is inspecting you ā to either thank Him if you receive a passing grade, or to commit yourself to making whatever improvements He deems necessary if you receive a failing grade.
J is for Jerking Off. When they are being used, faggots are not permitted to pleasure themselves, unless given permission to do so by the Man theyāre servicing. This includes jerking their fag-dick and cumming; a faggot is not allowed to do either without prior permission.
K is for Kneeling.Ā A faggotās default position is on his knees. Unless ordered otherwise, a faggot should never stand or sit in the presence of a Man; he should always kneel.
L is for Licking.Ā A faggot must get used to licking, because he will do a lot of it. He will lick his Masterās cock and balls, for instance. He will lick his Masterās ripe shit hole. He will lick his Masterās feet. He will lick up spilled spit, piss and cum from the floor. He may even be required to lick the shit and piss stains from toilets.
M is for Masochism.Ā Faggots are masochistic by nature. They enjoy being used, degraded and abused. It is their place in life. If youāre going to be a practicing faggot, you must get used to the idea that you are less than a Man ā perhaps even less than human ā and will be treated as such.
N is for Nipples.Ā A faggot must recognize that His Masterās nipples are centers of pleasure, and deserve to be licked and sucked for his Masterās enjoyment. Likewise, he must recognize that his own nipples are centers of pain, and will be used for training or during punishment if so desired by his Master.
O is for Obedience.Ā As a faggot, itās your duty to obey Men. When they tell you to do something ā no matter how humiliating, scary, gross, etc. ā you do it. End of story. In the event that you do not obey, you should be ready and willing to receive appropriate punishment for your disobedience, which might range from spanking to solitary confinement to chastity, or anything in between.
P is for Poppers.Ā Many Men love using poppered-up pigs. If your Master is one of them, you must open your nose and inhale from his little brown bottle whenever he presents it. It is your duty to please him, so if he tells you to sniff, you had better sniff long, hard and deep.
Q is for Quiet.Ā A good faggot expresses appreciation to the Men he services with verbal thanks and moans of pleasure. However, there comes a time when every Man demands that a faggot simply shut up and take it. During these times, itās your duty as a faggot to remain quiet ā and to be gagged if you fail to do so.
R is for Restraints.Ā Faggots often must be bound and restrained in order to be of maximum use to the Men they service. As a faggot, therefore, you must not object when your Master breaks out the rope, handcuffs and chains. If He needs you to be immobilized so that He may make optimal use of your fag holes, you must submit. He knows whatās best.
S is for Service.Ā Faggots must have a servantās heart. Service and enslavement are in your faggot nature; embrace them.
T is for Toilet.Ā āFaggotā is a synonym for ātoilet.ā As a faggot, therefore, your holes must be available for Men to use as they would any other toilet. That is, as a receptacle for spit, piss, cum, snot, farts and perhaps even shit. Not every Man will choose to use His faggot this way, but if youāre to be a true faggot you must resign yourself to your role as a waste receptacle. If a Manās body produces it, it is His right to dispose of it in you.
U is for Underwear. Unless otherwise instructed, faggots are not allowed to wear underwear ā or any clothes, for that matter ā in the presence of Men, as their holes must be as available and as accessible as possible. The only exception is a jockstrap; because it does not block access to a faggotās cunt, a jockstrap is an acceptable fag uniform.
V is for Vibrator.Ā As a faggot, your hole should be constantly occupied. When it is not filled with cock, then, it should be occupied by a vibrator or another anal toy ā a dildo, perhaps, anal beads or a butt plug.
W is for Whore.Ā Faggots are whores. Remember this. If you find yourself feeling ashamed or embarrassed or regretful of your fag activities, remind yourself that you are a whore. The knowledge that you are fulfilling your God-given purpose in life should be comforting, such that you can continue your mission of sexual servitude.
X is for X-ray.Ā Remember that Men have the equivalent of X-ray vision when it comes to spotting pigs and whores. If youāre a faggot, they will see it and they will know it. There is no use pretending to be a real Man, therefore. You might as well give in and accept your true identity as a faggot, because everyone around you already sees it and knows it ā even if you yourself are trying to deny it.
Y is for Yes.Ā As in, āYes, Sir,ā which is the only phrase a faggot should know how to say.
Z is for Zoo.Ā Itās no accident that many faggots identify as āpigs,ā āotters,ā ācubsā and āpups.ā If they werenāt so useful to Men out in the real world, faggots would likely be kept in a zoo alongside the real pigs and pups. If you ever feel the urge to talk back to a Man, therefore, or to demand equal treatment from one, stop and remember that youāre really just another animal; the Man is doing whatās good and right by trying to domesticate you so you may live alongside him in society instead of in a zoo.
Fag Opportunity for Alpha(s)
1. If you are dining out with an Alpha (whether he is a work colleague or friend), always offer to pay his bill; He may decline and it is His right to do so. 2. When an Alpha is queuing behind you at the supermarket check out, let Him pass and bow your head. 3. When you see an Alpha in the locker room of a gym with an inconvenient locker (ie in the corner or close to the floor), offer Him your locker if it is at a better place. Ā Offer Him a towel and rack His weights as well. 4. When an Alpha is queuing behind you in a public bathroom let Him pass and bow your head. 5. When you address an Alpha or an Alpha addresses you, always refer to Him as Sir, even if He is much younger than you. Bow your head for greetings. 6. Share your stories and thoughts on Tumblr. Ā Itās important that the world understands that it is OK to be a beta male that needs guidance and leadership from Superiors. Ā There should be a network of betas that allows Alphas to easily find a servant if they need one. 7. Never contradict an Alpha in public; when you do so in private or question Him as you are apt to do - remember that He has the final word and once it is given it is done. 8. Should you live with an Alpha, make sure you do all the household chores in a way that it is not too obvious. Ā Make sure that particularly the bathroom is always spotless. 9. Learn skills that enable you to be useful to Alphas (ironing, handicraft, giving massages, whatever). 10. When an Alpha drops something on the floor and you are close by, go and pick it up for Him, even if it just landed next to His shoes. 11. Praise the Alphas you know every day, ie in front of other people. Be mindful of their achievements and the hard work they do to run our societies, and make sure everyone knows. 12. When you see two Alphas talking with each other, donāt interrupt them but wait at an adequate and respectful distance until they have finished, even if your matter is urgent. 13. When an Alpha arrives to a restaurant where all seats are taken, get up and offer Him yours. 14. Make your Alphaās life easier in whatever way you can. 15. Expect respect from your Alpha; expect them to be a true Alpha that is sensitive to your humanity and the humanity of others.

Dear Submissives
Can you please for for the love of god stop paying attention to that bullshit on Tumblr that tells you that youāre supposed to be a worthless object? You do realize that everybody who is spouting off about that crap doesnāt put their face or their address online?
BECAUSE IT ISNāT REAL!
Youāre not going to spend your life in a basement serving somebody. Itās a fucking fantasy. And it bullshit like this that destroys the positive and meaningful interactions with in BDSM.
No one is dominant or submissive 100% of the time. Itās not possible. Weāre human beings. We need to rest. We need to rejuvenate. Yeah you can have a hot session that goes on for a full weekend. You can embrace every bit of who you are as a dominant or submissive. But thereās always a break.
And if you havenāt figured this out, real dominant men provide Aftercare and take of their boys. Full stop. Itās not even a question. If somebody is going to put you through an intense situation and canāt even fucking bother holding onto you and caressing you to let you calm down, theyāre just a piece of shit. There is something psychologically wrong with them and you shouldnāt be around them in the first place.
Letās address this Alpha bullshit. No one is better than somebody else. No person is ordained as this creature that is meant to be superior to others. If someone honestly leaves that they are better than someone else on purely a basis of humanity, they are most likely a sad individual. They never achieved anything meaningful. Maybe one day they started going to the gym and realize that someone was attracted to them and then they could exert their low self-esteem on another. Canāt fucking stand people like this. And they spout their bullshit all over the internet.
And hereās the simple truth to all of this, you may read this right now and think that Iām completely wrong. But as soon as the fantasy wears off, you start to realize that a good man is far better than anything that this fantasy world could ever provide.
So please wake the fuck up. Believe in yourself. Know that you donāt deserve to be treated like crap. Submission is a gift. The dominant has to be worthy of it. You make that determination not them.
Stand up for yourself. I believe in you. Look past the bullshit.
Sincerely,
A good dominant man thatās tired of seeing people abused.
Master, You have. nice blog here and very tempting offers for slaves, Master! it wishes it could serve You too, Master.
I hope that you are able to get the try out.
It's my 2 year anniversary on Tumblr š„³
