Synopsis
Every structured relationship is slightly different. For some, it works just fine; for others, not so well.This is an M/s Advanced book. It's for people with very strong core values who have been doing M/s for 5+ years—or been heavily involved in D/s for that long. This is for people who know a lot and are open to thinking about what they know in a different way. This is a "content-heavy" book. If you have fewer than about 5 years of experience, you’re likely to be intellectually intimidated. Readers should thoroughly understand the differences between a D/s culture and an M/s culture. You’ll want to be able to take notes. This is a book of ideas and suggestions that have evolved from 10+ years of personal experience and study concerning Master/salve relationships. This “advanced” book is the second in the Master/slave Mastery series. It addresses issues/situations common to most long-term structured relationships. There is no beginner-level material in this book.In this book you will find two chapters on mastery: one on Master’s mastery and on slave’s mastery. An extensive chapter on nuts-and-bolts issues such as motivators, leadership, control, and punishment. Finally, there is a chapter titled “Little bits of ideas” that enables me to address difficult topics, such as how you interact with yourself and with others, how “service” can be expressed, and specialized communication challenges.
