Top: Adult: Society: Sexuality: Activities_and_Practices: BDSM: Consensual_Slavery

Consensual slavery is a clearly identifiable subculture within BDSM (and sometimes goes under alternative names, such as "Master/slave" or "Total Power Exchange.")

For the purposes of this category, "slave" is not meant as a fantasy role in roleplay scenes (even within a committed BDSM relationship.) It is for sites dealing with consensual relationships in which authority has been transferred from the slave to their Owner, and is retained constantly.

Since the Description calls for sites about Owners who retain authority over the slaves constantly (even when they are physically out of their Owner's power), 24/7 Master / slave, "lifestyle", and Total/Absolute Power Exchange relationships are all appropriate, whereas casual BDSM relationships aren't.

Sites dealing with Gorean / kajira relationships should be submitted to Adult/Society/Lifestyles/Gorean

Both commercial and private sites may be submitted here, but picture galleries should be submitted to an appropriate subcategory of Adult/Image_Galleries, and sites primarily selling merchandise to an appropriate subcategory of Adult/Shopping.

Due to ODP rules, you must use vanilla capitalisation for entries in this category: eg "master" rather than "Master". No offence should be taken from this requirement or the capitalisation of entries appearing within the category.
