Have I Got A Deal For You : Auctions

On reflection of desires, fantasies, and sought after realities, I was reminded today of sites I had visited in the past, and discussions I have had with Dominants about the availability of slaves in the marketplace. There are places which offer slaves for rental, sale, and at times permanent exchange, not only by the current owners, but also prospective slaves wanting to enter into this type arrangement on a permanent basis. To all intents and purposes these offers, especially the auctioning and permanent exchanges, are genuine and lifetime propositions.

While I know this is the fantasy of many a slave, I was wondering how many feel they could handle the reality? How would you feel if your present owner decided this was their choice of fate for you? Would you hold to your ownership responsibilities, presumeably in this case that you are owned property with no choice or rights, or choose to attempt escape. Also, I was wondering if anyone here had first hand experience of such practices, either as the seller, buyer, commodity, or observer?

IMO it is a fascinating topic for those who are into the slavery lifestyle. Putting aside the issues of traditional slavery where slaves had no choice in their initial captivity, it offers a range of tangents to explore from a variety of roles and perspectives, not least of all survival and how each person sees the issue of slavery in the lifestyle and where the boundaries lie. As usual, feel free to discuss or not as the mood takes you.

What a great topic.

One of my greatest fears is being exchanged and I've never quite understood how that lifestyle could appeal to someone. I look forward to reading the replies.

Respectively,

interesting topic

I'm not a slave in the way some of you are although Snooze calls me His *slave*. My knee jerk reaction is absolute horror at the idea of being sold to another. My bond to Him runs deep and I can't imagine serving another.

I can see how being on the auction block might be a fantasy for some; especially after reading some of the Gor books. However, it isn't a fantasy for me and never has been. So, my answer is no. I would not hold to our arrangement if He wanted to sell me. I know limits and ideas change, but this one probably won't.

I personally understand the appeal on the short term. Something really truly feels like it's mine when I can lend it out or give it away for a while. If I like it, I want people to sample it, it's like getting a CD or a book that I then feel a little evangelical about, it's so good you simply MUST hear this or read this.

However, I also can't fathom getting a wad of cash and never being able to see G or M again. Simply couldn't compensate, no amount in the world. Both are totally NFS.

Well, I've been thinking about this topic some more. On further reflection, maybe, I could tolerate being rented or loaned. But, that's a huge maybe.

I'll stand by my earlier post on permanent change of ownership. I'm not for sale.

for me, it's a nice fantasy sometimes and makes for good stories, but i dont think i would ever want it in real life.

I think knee jerk reactions are a part of life, though I am slowly eradicating them from my life....well almost...LOL..the best I can normally do is come back to a discussion once I have had some no pressure time to get used to the thought of exploring or talking about something. Like you, I can never imagine serving another, and though he says he would never send me away permanently, the reality is I have to deal with the prospect he may loan or rent me to someone for very short period of time thus I would have to serve another. It is not an easy concept, but has it's appeal in a perverse way. Hmmmmm, I seem to enjoy the perverse in the sense I like to be challenged by the things I most fear and abhor...while hating it, I learn to love it, which in turn I hate, and so it continues. Haven't read the Gor books, but I gather I'm not really missing much....maybe someday.

I can relate to this...is how he thinks too.

Lending out My slave...yes...whenever I wish to...renting him out...yes...absolutely...auctioning him off for a day or two...no doubt about it....selling him permanently...yes if it would give him a better life in this BDSM world that he craves so deeply.
All of the above is agreed to under contract...BUT...I would NEVER put My slave into a situation that would traumatize him deeply.
his fantasies embrace all of the above scenerios which is a good thing for O/our relationship because all of the above is possible at one time or another.

Yes, and in truth this is the reality of a slave. For us, things are discussed, and there are areas he knows I have difficulties with, but the reality is it will always be his decision, and my place to accept and know I can trust when he says he would never do anything which would destroy me. Fortunately, he also has the wisdom to realise that though I may get momentarily spooked by the occassional idea, in the end, and especially with his support and encouragement, I will do my best to do whatever it is that pleases him. Fortunately, we are both deviots, so we do not normally cross anything off the list as a 'never will discuss, never will do' option. Makes life much more interesting, and as we are discovering more and more, our fantasies seem to be almost identical and in sync on the same days even when we are apart for hours at a time......is reassuring in it's own perverse way. Now all we have to do is get our fitness ideas in sync and we will be half way there. LOL.

Nostalgic cruising made me decide to bump this one again.

Oh wow. Some of my fantasies include auctions and being in that intense of a situation, for life. But in reality? No, it could never happen, not for me. I'm too... stubborn I guess, there are certain things that I need to have control of, and I've recently learned that I'm a bit defiant, too. So nope, wouldn't work for me.
