Consensual Enslavement
Slavery Types
This is another topic that is viewed better as a group or list than as an individual item. I am open to more types if you think there are other versions that are not included here. It is not exhaustive nor is it intended to be. The list is more the emphasis of the main consensual enslavement types of service than a unique type of enslavement although it can be that. Consensual enslavement can include and usually does include more than one type below. There are very few which are pure types in practice.
Domestic:
This is household domestic service or cooking, cleaning, laundry, etc. It is often described as maid or 50’s housewife types of activities. These activities can be done in any style of slavery but are most common in conjunction to Service and free form consensual slavery.
Financial:
This is usually males giving money to professional Dommes as their kink or fetish to be forced to provide for someone and mostly just getting abuse in return.
Free Form:
This is probably the most common form of consensual slavery. The Master makes up things as he goes along and the slave obeys. It is almost always relationship rather than service based. The slave usually serves out of love of their owner.
Love:
This is where the enslavement is based on the love of the slave for their owner. It is also called romantic slavery. This is the ideal concept of many women who read romance books where the handsome nobleman or sheikh takes a woman as a slave and he falls madly in love with her. It is where the submission comes from loving the owner and the Mastery from the owner loving the slave.
Pain:
This type of slavery is mostly about how much pain the slave can take from their owner. They show their submission and enslavement by accepting more and more pain. Many D/s relationships are based on play and especially pain play. This is not as common in M/s relationships.
Pet:
This type of slavery is where the slave acts the part of a pet, either literally as in pretending to be a dog, cat, pony or other animal or they are kept as a human pet where they remain human but are treated more like a pet animal.
Pig:
This type of slavery is marked by heavy Humiliation, Dehumanization and no limits to sexual usage, pain play or abuse outside of those either agreed on or the owner’s limits.
Relationship:
This is usually couples, often married or boyfriend/girlfriend, where one is in control of the other. The slave serves out of love and affection for their owner and to continue the relationship and much of the enslavement is the slave agreeing to obey and serve and doing so to fulfill their agreement and their relationship.
Service:
This type of slavery is the most common among Leather and Gorean Traditions. The slave can do any type of service but most of the time it includes domestic and can include but does not need to include sexual service. It may include working to provide an income for the household. In many ways, it is the same things a spouse does in a standard marriage.
Sexual:
This type of slaves has the slave kept mostly for sex. They may do a few other things but the emphasis of the enslavement is sex.
Trophy:
This type of slave keeps the slave for how they look and so that they can be shown to others to proclaim how beautiful a person the owner has enslaved which presumable says something positive about the owner. This type may include other types of service with sexual being the main one.
Work:
The slave is kept to do work for the owner, usually without pay. This is closest to the classical forms of involuntary slavery. The value for the work goes to the owner.
