Dear Masterful hand,
I currently have a situation where I am out of town a lot, and while my slave and I are experience this difficult part of my job I am having a hard time enforcing punishments when I am away. When I go away I leave her a list of chores as well as punishments if she does not do the chores and while she does most of them she sometimes falter on her chores and then I must punish her, she must also email me each morning to affirm she has completed the previous days chores as I can sometimes be gone 2 or 3 weeks. Also when I am away we spend hundreds a month speaking on the phone, especially time consuming is when she performs punishments so I may hear here, while this is more of a financial then BDSM question what do you suggest I do for that.
Yours truly,
XXXXX@XXXXX.XXX
Hello,
First I shall address your first mistake of sorts, while when leaving town it is a wise choice to assign or leave her task she is to perform while you are away, I would advise not also telling of punishments that will go along if she does not complete the task. The reason being she shall do the task with the punishments she does not like or wishes not to have to perform yet leave the task which have minimal punishments and would rather be able to perform. Instead leave her to sheet of her task and allow her punishments to be randomized, and also it is always best to think of different punishments so she does not get accustomed to knowing exactly what will happen if she refuses or simply does not complete a task given.
Though if she continuously breaks rules, and not follow orders I would suggest more training, testing her limits, pushing them yet not breaking them shall make her more obedient, she needs to know you are dominate enough for her to submit to, she needs to feel your presence, your power she may be uncertain and needs to feel your power over her in order for her to submit fully to you, this of course takes trust.
While emailing you each morning to simply say if she did a task or not, I would also advise having her keep a slave journal, where she details each thing she did, her feelings through out the day, her needs, and wants, this would of course give you a better psyche into her mind and give you more powerful tools then any whip, lash, cropper, gives you the tool to understand her mind, a sub must submit mentally before she could ever be of any use to her Master or Dom.
As far as your last part of money, I have a rather simple solution, as you said she emails you each morning so it is quite clear you have a computer or laptop, as well as she, rather then spending hundreds of dollars per month on phone calls when ever you must go away, might I suggest investing in a webcam and a microphone, both of them will cost you a combined no more then a $100.00 for good quality, with this instead of wasting money on simple phone calls you can get online, speak through the microphones and better yet see each other through the webcam, most hotels in the US have a set price for net access but am sure it will not cost you hundreds a month and thus shall save you funds as what is what your questioned was asking.

Hello Sir,
My name is XXXXX and my boyfriend names is XXX, I saw your post about searching for a new slave, I have filled out the paper but wanted to ask you a few questions before I forward it to you, my current boyfriend and I are a sub-sub couple, while we have been in the service of a Mistress for 3 years, she has ordered us to get online and find one Master or Mistress to give us task, in which we shall perform and provide photographic proof. I saw your post and was wondering would you be willing to take us both under as strictly as your cyber slaves, we understand you are straight though I figured it couldn’t hurt to ask.
Hello young one,
While I have trained male-female sub couples before in a real life capacity the male more or less served as the “assistant” sub where if she needed to be bound he would do that, on the other hand when being trained my self, one of the Masters was in fact a Homosexual Master in which I had to train on his subs and am use to tying them up though it is not something I personally prefer, If you and your boyfriend wish for me to consider you then both of you feel out the sub application in the previous blog posting and I shall review them thoroughly.
Though I personally am looking for a woman of no older then 30, I shall give thought to any and all apps I get from a potential net slave. If your Mistress wishes to contact me, for her to affirm that you two belong to her and she has given you two permission to do so, do contact me for any further information

Hello Sir,
Thank you Sir in advance
Sub XXXXX
Good day sub XXXXX,
To answer your question is no, a Master/slave contract and a collaring ceremony are not one in the same, many Masters merely draw up contracts and have no collaring “ceremony” yet from that day on their slave or sub shall wear their collar. Some Masters on the other hand do have both Master/slave contracts as well as a collaring ceremony.
To explain the difference a Master/slave contract (while some Masters and slaves have verbal contracts I would advise those new to lifestyle to get hard copy contracts drawn up) is a well thought out detailed contract of what will be expected of the potential slave/sub, her limits, her kinks, what she is expected to do and maintain, also has if she is allowed time “out of service” for personal things, and most importantly a time period. Many slave and Masters for their first contract give a time period of a few months, sort of a trial period, after this initial evaluation or time period they take out yearly or bi-yearly contracts, and most rarely indefinite ones.
A collaring ceremony is how it sounds, it is a small get together of friends, who are in the lifestyle, and both slave and Master recite “promises” to each other, basically speaking of their commitment to each other, think of them as vows, after these words are recited the Master places his collar on his slave/sub, to reaffirm her belonging to him and his commitment to her as well.
I think this is what you were asking, if you need any more information do write back

Hello Good Sir,
I have read your blogger posting, and have found them very well written, though I am a male slave my Mistress does allow me a hour online a day and I always check your post searching for new updates, but have not seen any in a few days, was wondering if you were still writing them or…did something happen? Also wanting to know outside of BDSM what do you enjoy doing in life.
Thanks a lot

Hello there,
Yes I do still write the blogs, I just have been compiling questions that I receive to post in my latest blog, such as I plan to put your in it, thank you for the compliment on my writing, I do try to write out things in a clear nature, hoping the readers would understand it.
To answer your question of what I enjoy doing outside of the BDSM lifestyle, I enjoy many things, reading and writing most of all. But also enjoy building things with my hands, minor webpage designing and coding, photography is a major passion of mines, listening to music, watching horror movies as well as crime shows.
Outside of those in the lifestyle, I am very much a loner so I occupy my time doing things by myself always thinking of kinks to train subs or slaves in to further their knowledge of the lifestyle, and I enjoy answering peoples questions or helping those new to the lifestyle realize what they want or expect to gain from the lifestyle

Good day Sir,
i was just wondering what is your view on “Master/slave” styles of writing, such as capitalization of anything referring to the Dominate personality, I am quite new to the lifestyle and when I go into chat rooms and such I get hounded about not “addressing” them properly or they feel disrespected if I place master with a lower case m, as if I am degrading or disrespecting the.
Thanks in advance

Thanks for your email,
While I personally do not pay much attention to such things when I am writing for just myself, I do sometimes (not always) write in the Master slave style of writing, to help you out it is rather simple when speaking of a Master or Mistress in the second person simply refer to them as His/Hers/Him/She and things of that such, when referring to them personally you may say Master, Mistress, Sir, Ma’am to simply show them the respect of their title, though I personally do not get angry when I am in BDSM chat rooms and see subs lower case M’s and such, I mean I have much more to worry about, and value to many things in the lifestyle to pay SO much attention to such a trivial thing, while my slaves, and those I train have learned to write like this as a second nature, it does take time.
It is not something people just “know” when entering the lifestyle, especially if they are new to it, another way of speaking like that is when speaking of you and your Master or Mistress, you would say “W/we” “U/us” “O/our” and things of that nature, I have even seen people go “T/together” so basically any word that signifies you both the first letter should be capitalized then /then spelled with the lowercase and rest of the word.
But as I have said while I get and understanding the writing, and why some feel it is so important, I am more likely to care about the woman herself, her willingness to learn, her experience, her submissive nature, what kinks she’s into versus only paying attention to if she capitalizes a letter or not. But as I have said, that is merely me, some Masters and Mistresses (as I have seen) will jump on people who do not use what they see as “proper terms” not taking or refusing to understand the person may be new to the lifestyle.
I do hope that answered your questions
