Contracts

[denuseri]

Personally I would laugh in the face of the prospective dominant that presented me with such a request. Imho if one is so insecure that one needs such a contrivance one wont ever get me into one's collar to begin with anyway, let alone hold me there.

But thats just me.

If a contract one must have, then by all means feel free to have one.

Just make sure you read all the fine print, and that every thing in the contract is safe, sane, and mutually consensual prior, cuase odds are the prospective dominant that wants you to sign one, is also going to try and use it against you 9 times out of 10 sometime in the future bywaving it in your face when you want to refuse to do somthing.

So word to the wise....make sure there is a cluase that lets you negotieate and or say NO at anytime, contract or no contract.

I rumaged around for a little bit on the back shelves and found some links about what others have said or presented examples of about them before that one may or may not find helpful.

Good Luck.

This part of denuseri's post is what I was referring to when I said that BDSM contracts for an M/s dynamic are baseless and unenforceable. There is no legal basis that would allow a contract to legally bind someone to one of these contracts. To do so would condone slavery, and there isn't a civilized country on the planet that does that anymore.

A contract, in and of itself is not a bad thing, in my opinion. I think it can be a very powerful tool if presented properly, but as everyone has said previously, it is not a legally binding document. It can serve to be a reminder of what is expected of the slave and Master throughout the relationship and i think that is a good thing. Again, this may need to be negotiated through out the relationship if things change, so having a review period for said contract may be a good idea to include.

For me, the contract also serves to remind me of my place in Master's life, not that i would forget, but all of the little things help especially with day to day and the mundane wears you down.

The one that i found that i liked the best was on www.seekers.org

look on there under sample slave contract. i hope you find this helpful, but it outlines most of the basics and if there are children, you will need to put in a clause about that. Good luck and happy writing!
