It was interesting.

I, myself, am quite new to online play, and I was wondering how it is even possible to own a slave digitally?

I have had both submissives and slaves under the definition below in the flesh, but online surely it would rather hard to maintain a relationship where both parties, the Master and the 'Slave' were benefiting.

When it comes to online ownership sometimes it is hard to tell. I usually try to get to know the person on a more friendship level to build some trust, and go from there. Because if there is trust, you can get to know one better instead of jumping right in which helps build a trust and devotion as well as honesty. It also helps to be able to understand the sub/slave to a point to follow your feeling of "I don't think they are being honest" or "I feel they are being honest" So it comes down to the relationship, how strong it is, and what you as a Dominant figure feel and think. Communication is key for any online adventure or ownership phase.

Well communication is the key to life. Interesting article, I still kind of look at this as way to direct an internal desire, but lots of great points.

Interesting article. I myself, don't totally agree with the definition in the article. I am what you can call technically a slave, but my Master and Mistress know my boundaries, and never cross that line. I do help them in their everyday life. In those terms, I am called a personal assistant; and far as everyone else that is around here where we are located, that is what I am. Although, if I do step out of line in the public; I will be punished back at home. However, I am given many free times that I am aloud to do whatever I want. Plus, I am still taking a class or two here and their just furthering my education. That is one of the things Master and Mistress loved about me; and encourage me to keep furthering my education.
