Ownership Planning

by Aramock Nanuck

June 2007

As with all things, plans tend to change once parties interact. But here is a simplified structure that should help with your decision to acquire and integrate a new submissive into your household. This document is a summary; the full agreement will outline all details and be shared upon our meeting.

Preparation and Dissolution

All people have many aspects of their lives which are governed by vanilla events, such as:

Closing bank accounts,
Disposing of assets,
Leaving an old job or starting a new one,
Ending a lease,
Signing agreements,
Even the need to relax, unwind and visit old friends or say goodbye to family.

Plan for these things well in advance of either party considering the actual transfer and assumption of ownership. Vanilla folks have the luxury to go back and continue or undo things, whereas those in a Dom/sub relationship essentially do not. It is critical to resolve the items which bind one or the other to a particular setting before taking on this new adventure.

Identifying and defining the tasks that need to be completed by both parties before commencing is a mandatory step, frequently overlooked by one or both parties. Hiding the fact that there is outstanding rent due or some other item only undoes trust if it comes up later.

Alignment Meeting

The first and foremost thing is to establish a level of comfort with each other. Gauge if an open and honest dialogue is possible. The entire relationship requires trust as its foundation. The most significant impediment to such is poor communication or dishonesty.

Understanding how people act and react in a vanilla setting will indicate their personality and attitudes in private. Articulate the scope of the relationship from both perspectives and identify any limitations that may have been overlooked during prior communications.

Essentially, both parties need to see how committed each other is to the relationship and accept the terms of the change and the steps about to be undertaken. Ensure that there is a sense that the other party is as portrayed, and that this perception will continue throughout subsequent interactions and exchanges. Expect this to be a drawn-out process, which may take hours over multiple sessions, to ensure each party is who they claim to be and understands the roles expected of them.

A Submissive's Assets

There is more difficulty if the submissive has property or assets with which to contend. Before the date of the initiation, the submissive must:

Have arranged a blind trust to manage the assets or property until the end date of the proposed agreement, or
Transferred or sold such items to a third party, or
Donated to an identified charity, or
Arrange the transfer of title to the proposed new owner on the execution of the contract.

The submissive must raise ownership of anything at this point for inclusion of the contract until the termination date.

Initiation

Assuming a decision to proceed is made now, the actual lifestyle events will commence. This milestone is where the dominant will engage the submissive in a series of trials, qualifiers and sessions to confirm each other's acceptance and acceptance of the terms of reference.

First and foremost, there needs to be a ritual punishment to establish whether both parties can accept the discipline required to solidify the relationship. More importantly, it allows the submissive to understand the dominant's style of punishment and the dominant to understand the submissive's capacity for pain. Follow this act with cavalier comments and almost insulting remarks to assess humility. Frequently, it is at this point that language issues arise, which need to be addressed. Equally, it is a test of both parties in the eyes of the other.

It is essential, at this point, to remove any benefit of the doubt previously established and assume nothing as the testing continues. Faults should be punishable; if an individual is unwilling to accept this, they are not submissive. The critical act of punishing determines whether each party is worthy in the eyes of the other and hence will abide by the contract.

The Contract

The terms of reference and conditions of the submission form the basis of the codified agreement or contract. The dominant should formally present the accord in front of witnesses to assure its signing is free from coercion or interference.

The Dominant will make the offer by reading aloud the key. Upon completion of the reading, both parties shall sign the undertaking. Then, using a sharp, sterile knife, make a cut on their thumb and seal the offer with a bloodstained thumbprint, then give the agreement to the submissive.

According to the terms listed, the submissive shall verbally state their agreement to the terms and acknowledge their surrender to the Dominant. The submissive shall sign the contract and also affix their bloodied thumbprint as a seal.

The Surrender

Identity

Upon completing the signing, the submissive shall surrender all identity and travel documentation to the new owner as an act of submission. This act signifies that the individual acknowledges they have no identity beyond that defined by their owner. It also believes that its freedom of movement restricts what its owner establishes. At this point, the submissive will never speak first but only address owners when spoken to, and then in a clear, distinct and candid manner.

Initial Use

The property shall then be used or shared as its owner sees fit within the terms established in the contract. The agreement restricts any misuse of a supplicant; such misuse shall nullify the deal. Nullification results in shredding the agreement and the removal of the submissive from the presence of the dominant. After that, any rights to self-determination other than those stipulated in the agreement cease to exist. The submissive should consider themselves slightly better than pets, more akin to slaves and less as social companions.

Mobility

Once the agreement is signed, the relocation of the submissive is at the Dominant's sole discretion. The submissive shall accompany the owner or whoever else the owner delegates without question or compromise. The Dominant shall honour any standing request for a couple or family unit to keep together. However, the household is considered a single entity within the relationship.

Return to Domicile

The submissive shall assume responsibility for all luggage and serve in all manners as a domestic, public, and private servant. The submissive shall travel in coach class regardless of the level of travel of their Dominant. The submissive shall travel back to the Dominant's residence with whatever layovers are necessary. During the layover, the submissive shall maintain specified levels of protocol and etiquette. If asked, the submissive shall state they travel as a private aide of the dominant,t depending on the circumstances and act accordingly.

The submissive shall immigrate and customs with or adjacent to the Dominant, depending on the country's rules. The submissive shall explain either:

If holding pre-arranged visas, they are domestic help joining their employer
If they arrive on a tourist visa or have none, they are considered "guests" and stay within the agreed-upon limit.

In cases involving tourists or those without a visa, the Dominant shall apply for a long-term visa upon arrival and have it processed separately. This process requires that the submissive shall not seek other employment during this transition period to avoid affecting visa processing. The actual execution of the visa may require the submitter to leave their country of residence and have the visa fulfilled elsewhere; the Dominant shall oversee such needs as necessary.

Engagement

As property, the submissive functions in much the same manner as slaves during Roman times. The Dominant operated a dungeon facility for the local S&M community. The primary focus outside of serving the Dominant is the smooth operation and maintenance of this facility. The continued expectation of the submissive is to be full-service slaves for the household throughout the term of the agreement.

Unless otherwise excluded by the agreement, the submissive shall consider themselves sexual playthings for the pleasure of their owners. At times, submissives will serve guests and friends within the household. Again, unless explicitly defined by the agreement, the sexuality of a submissive is pan-sexual. Any refusal to accommodate anyone the dominant deems worthy will result in public humiliation and punishment with little regard for your emotional well-being.

The submissive shall remain primarily nude at home, and the wearing of clothing shall be as given and instructed. A lack of instruction requires nudity.

The assigned tasks and training sessions will take place daily at a designated time. A failure to complete them will result in punishment. Understand that the Dominant expects the submissive to fail in some way, requiring discipline. As the Dominant is sadistic in demeanour, this is considered a pleasure for them.
