Internal Enslavement

Internal Enslavement is a radical answer to the question "Just how binding and complete can consensual slavery really be?"

We aim to develop practical techniques which use detailed examination of a female slave's thoughts, emotions and past experiences to establish and maintain a solid and inescapable state of ownership. In doing this, we wish to cut through the vague concept of "Slave Training" popular in BDSM fiction and websites.

We draw inspiration both from existing accounts of Total Power Exchange, and from mainstream Psychology. Furthermore, we believe it is essential that theories of ownership are tested by comparison with the real lives of slaves and submissives.

To send us comments about the site or pointers to writings or news elsewhere which is relevant to these topics, please email [email protected]

There is now an Enslavement Web Board hosted by The Slave Register. If you're interested in discussing this type of relationship, please join us there. The Ownership Wiki, also on TSR, has a growing number of articles on Enslavement and Ownership topics.

3 Jul 07   Master/slave Conference in Washington

It's now less than a month to the Master/slave Conference in Washington, and we're going to be quite involved: not only are lili, popi and I going, but TSR is a gold sponsor, there is a TSR meeting for members and subscribers, and I've been invited on to one of the panels. [more...]

11 Jun 07   TSR Meeting in London

We got back from London yesterday and I want to say thank you to everyone who came to the first TSR Meeting, and write a bit about the event for those who couldn't be there. [more...]

26 Apr 07   TSR Meeting in London, 9th June

The Slave Register is planning a meeting for people in or seeking ownership relationships, at a venue in central London on Saturday the 9th of June, from 5pm onwards. The format will be informal, probably with a round table discussion on topic(s) advertised in advance and including a buffet. For more details see http://www.slaveregister.com/meetings/london

17 Apr 07   "The Control Book" by Peter Masters

Peter Masters had an outline of this book on his website since the early 2000s and if you're really curious some of these versions are still there on the Internet Archive site. However, he's now produced a printed edition, published by Jack Rinella in March 2007, and this review is based on that expanded version. [more...]

11 Apr 07   Slave Training

I've been thinking about training this week, partly to write the Slave Training article for the Ownership Wiki. Like the word "slave" itself it has a wide range of uses, from the profound (as another term for enslavement) to the ridiculous (for paid SM sessions with a dominatrix.) I've avoided using the term in the past because of its vagueness, but I'd now like to put these two words to work with a plausible definition. [more...]

6 Apr 07   Review of "Master Nage's Guide to Training Consensual Slaves"

I've been away this week and took the opportunity to read Nage's book. It's one of a sudden flurry of M/s books which have appeared in the last couple of years. I think it's clear that it's the weakest of the current crop but I'm going to try to highlight the good points as well as the rest. [more...]

25 Mar 07   Obedience dynamics

In this post, I'd like to tie together the various concepts and terms that surround obedience in Master/slave and Ownership relationships. Words like resistance, reactance, discipline, rules, submission, and obedience refer to different parts of the puzzle, but don't have well-defined boundaries, and I'd like to suggest a consistent set of definitions and some new ideas to help visualise the various processes of obedience.

2 Mar 07   The Women Who Take Their Mate as a Master

In 1992 "The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Chattel" was published by Wilson and Daly as part of "The Adapted Mind", a collection of papers which established Evolutionary Psychology as a new way of looking at the mind in terms of evolution, and attempting to identify which aspects are the result of an evolved human nature. These evolved psychological mechanisms each made a contribution to survival and reproduction in the environment in which humans evolved, although many are no longer useful or even wanted by modern humans. Wilson and Daly's paper argued that one of these adaptations is that men [more...]

24 Feb 07   Review of "Evolutionary Psychiatry" by Stevens and Price

This week I finished Evolutionary Psychiatry by Anthony Stevens and John Price. I've had this book since it came out in 2004, but up to now I'd only read the Sadomasochism chapter and some of the introductory material. Now that I'm getting interested in evolutionary models for Internal Enslavement again, I decided to read it in full - not least because they discuss social rank and dominance in detail as part of their attempt to explain some psychiatric problems.

25 Jan 07   The Transferability of Ownership

The sale of slaves is one of the recurring themes of BDSM fiction and many people's fantasies, and it's raised from time to time in the ownership subculture: How can the ownership of slaves be transferred? Can they be sold? And even, where can they be bought? I don't believe this is really possible, and I'd like to explain my reasoning about the issue. [more...]
