Tie-up games, bondage and slavery

I have always enjoyed the Stories of TUGs forum (even if I haven’t had the opportunity to contribute as much as I would like) because the discussions have been intelligent (mostly :o) and so POLITE (unlike most internet forums). So I’m looking forward to explaining my feelings and thoughts about being a slave, and reading other people’s ideas. However, I will start with this...
Coming to this group from the TUGs forum parallels my real-life journey. I began playing tie-up games when I was about 13 years of age. I graduated to more “serious” bondage in my late teens, and it is now developing into a genuine Master-slave relationship.
It still intrigues me how, in a few years, my situation has evolved from one in which I was essentially in control (albeit the one being tied up) to the point where I surrender and submit completely. It’s still more role-play than hard-core, but the journey is not yet over.
Just thought I’d mention this :o)

I would not really consider myself a slave. Well not yet. More a bondage freak with a submissive streak. Yes it is true I probably get tied up more than i get tied and when I am tied up i do play the submissive but I do not play the slave 24/7 or even play a mistress slave game. i may call Mrs barefoot boy mistress from time to time when tied and do slave like things (kiss feet, obey her commands) but it is not true slavery. I do agree though there is a transition from tie up games which start as cops and robbers, then become sexual. Maybe I just haven't reached phase 3 like Sarah has.

Well, I must confess that I am at this stage really more of a wanna-be slave... I think of it as bondage without ropes. I experience exactly the same feelings when I am in slavegirl mode as when I am tied up; and since my boyfriend (would-be Master) has never really got turned on by tie-up games (hey, to each his/her own!), a M/s relationship suits us both.
24/7 slavery is an ideal that I am a long, long way from achieving, and I honestly don’t know if I would or could ever commit myself wholeheartedly to that lifestyle... although not for want of trying :o)
At the risk of embarrassing myself here (but maybe that ship has already sailed), I suppose I would class myself as a “sex slave”. I would like to reach the point where I could give over complete control of every aspect of my life, but I suspect that this will never happen. Anyway, heaven help the man who tries to “own” me. That way madness lies.
If I can find the time, I will try to describe a typical day in the life of slave sarah to elucidate.
