General
master / slave (m/s)
What does master / slave (m/s) mean?
The deep end of D/s — a consensual relationship organised around ownership and service, where the slave submits to the Master's authority as the relationship's whole structure rather than just a bedroom thing. Often (not always) overlaps with Total Power Exchange and 24/7 dynamics. 'Consensual' is load-bearing: every bit of it is negotiated and agreed, and the slave can always walk. Written M/s, with lowercase 's' to signal the dynamic.
"They're in an M/s relationship — he's collared, and service is part of his everyday life, not a scene they switch on."
