Chapter 5. gayslavemarket.com
Gavin helped Brandon sign up for an account in a recently popular on-line website devoted completely to D/s relationships and designed to make subs and slaves feel as if they're on display at a slave market. The way the app is designed, those who identify as subs or slaves must present themselves with bare pictures (genitals optional but faces masked) and profiles so that Doms, Masters and those who are just curious can inspect them anonymously. They also have their own channels for chatting which are forbidden to the boys being inspected. The idea is that the Superiors are free to inspect the men and boys offering themselves, but it doesn't work the other way around. Gavin assured the boy that the site is carefully maintained, that only registered Doms and Masters are able to view the subs, and that complaints against bullies and phonies are rapidly dealt with.
Brandon has already found two active nice chat rooms that interest him, one called "Whipping boys" and another called "Rule Me." These are for subs to chat together and Doms are able to observe the chats and communicate privately with anyone who interests them. It's obvious what each is about. There are a number of other chats, but Brandon decided to stick with these two for the time being. When a sub joins one of the chats, that information is available to registered Doms, but the conversations are closed off to casual observers and lurkers.
Gavin is encouraging Brandon to join "waterboys" and "open throats," but Brandon is holding off for the moment, not exactly sure where he is heading. Besides, even though he only joined a week ago, he's already received messages from Men attracted by his hairless pics and by the things he has listed in his profile. This is what it says:
Age and stats and pictures. Has had some experience with slave training that turned bad. Still licking my wounds and deciding where to go next, but continue to think of myself as a slave in training. Into pain and discipline; need regular thrashing; oral servant; intelligent domination and humiliation turns me on; eager to surrender once trust is established. totally submissive with no desire to "run the show." Dungeon experience and willing to learn to accept more. D/s or M/s relationships with caring and affection are best. Not interested in brutes, bullies, or guys who think that slaves are subhuman. Needs to feel protected. Willing to chat/meet first. Agreeable to one-time scenes with possibility of repeated contacts. Willing to be trained in things it has not yet experienced. Safe words a must. Warning: this slave cries and sobs easily, but never fakes anything.
The site rates profiles and Brandon's profile has been highly rated. Gavin advised Brandon that presenting himself on this site will immediately appeal to his inner slave, and he wasn't kidding. The site itself is brilliant. As soon as the pictures and profile was posted Brandon realized he was on display with no idea just how many Superior Men were viewing him and possibly even getting off on it.
Yes, Gavin did help him write it. Wanted him to mention ws but Brandon was adamant not to put that out front right away. He agrees that a profile like this is far more interesting than simply a list of "turn-ons." And apparently He was right. When Brandon got home after dinner at Nana's, he found three messages already sent to his in-box.
The first was the most intriguing:
Congratulations on writing a superb profile that touched my heart. Already giving thought about how to help you lick your wounds and train you to lick a lot of other things as well. :) Impressed that despite having had a bad experience you continue to think of yourself as a slave, even though currently unclaimed or unowned. You obviously have deep submissive and masochistic needs and therefore I am not inclined to rush things with you to force a quick "hook-up." Here is a link to a personal chat channel I use. xxxxxx Contact Me there from now on. My plan is to engage in on-line chatting then to arrange a meeting in a safe place, and then? . . . I will decide when I will enjoy watching you strip naked and bow before Me. Master Luke.
The second was even more interesting:
I appreciated the information that you never fake anything, slave. It means that your tears and sobs will be especially meaningful and certainly rewarding for any Master who gets a crack at you. I live two towns away from you and have a well-equipped play room, or dungeon (since you seem to prefer that word). You are obviously a gifted writer and I am considering ways that you might use that gift as a special way of serving Me should a meeting actually take place. Aside from your mention of corporal punishment you list no particular interests or kinks and that intrigues Me. It causes Me to think I will have the freedom of introducing you to the things that I enjoy doing to a slaveboy. Safe words are so important and give a Master the freedom to experiment and perhaps to find things you have not yet been subjected to which will help you settle deeply into the sub space you obviously require. I'm sorry to hear you had a bad experience and would appreciate more information about that.
"Intelligent domination," eh? I like a challenge and I will tell you right now that as we begin to correspond with one another I will be especially pleased when I am able to get you groveling on the floor simply from reading what I intend to tell you. Let's continue chatting within this program until you feel safe enough to move our correspondence to another level, and by all means, I will be pleased when you get to the point where you are ready to beg me for a chance to meet with Me in a safe location, perhaps a coffee shop or something similar.
When you write Me again, boy, tell Me why the experience you had didn't work out. Are you absolutely sure that the failure of that relationship was not your own fault? Do you really need to lick your own wounds, or might a good thrashing not be a better way to deal with whatever guilt you have about what happened? I may be completely off track here, and if that is the case, simply let me know. I'm sure I can find plenty reasons of my own to keep you under the discipline and punishment that self-identified slaves such as you tend to crave.
One further question: your name. Was it given to you or is it simply something you like to call yourself? Expect to be renamed once you are kneeling before me with your eyes lowered to the ground, your legs spread to give Me easy access to your balls, and your mouth slightly open, keeping it always available for Me. For now, simply refer to Me as Master. That is all you need at this initial stage of our possible relationship.
The third message was a lot more blunt and sounded like it was coming from someone who didn't seem to appreciate the effort that was put into Brandon's profile:
Give me a list of six things that turn you on the most and your hard limits. As far as I'm concerned, slut, you need to learn not to beat around the bush. A good session with my cane will do you a lot of good, that's for sure. You're probably long overdue. And make sure there is absolutely no hair on that twink body of yours below your eyebrows. Here's my number: xxx-xxxx. Make sure you're naked when you call me.
Gus
Oh well, can't win them all. Two out of three isn't bad. Gus can go to hell.
Brandon gets right to answering the two promising messages.
Thank you so much, Master Luke, for your praise and your promises. I've been trained to lick everywhere and so I hope to be able to please You the way a Master deserves to be pleased by such as this slave. Your thoughts about my continuing to think of myself as a slave are well worth my consideration and I will indeed think about these things. I appreciate your decision not to rush. brandon.
And the second, to the man who ordered him to address him as Master . .
Thank you for contacting this slave, Master. It promises you that its tears and sobs will be an honest response to whatever You choose to do. It is intrigued about how to serve You with its writing. It was advised not to list kinks by Dom Who helped it write its profile. He also mentioned that it gives a true Master the most freedom possible to rule over a slave and continue its training.
Concerning the bad experience, Master, it is still trying to make sense of what happened. It had a loving relationship with a loving Master who then took what He referred to as a "business trip." The Master came back changed: cold, cruel, critical and told this slave he only loved it because of the things he could make it do. After a very severe beating with no safe words, this slave broke free but still suffers from a broken heart. It loved the Master too deeply, perhaps. It honestly believes it was not at fault, even for that last whipping. It was if the Master simply snapped and what was formerly affection and love suddenly was changed into brutality. This slave understands that regular thrashings help it remember what it is, and there is always deep-seated guilt that always needs to be punished when uncovered.
It doesn't take this slave much to grovel, Master, and after reading Your message it stripped naked in order to write this response.
Master when this slave read Your words "discipline and punishment" its inner slave began trembling and it admits how much it craves these things from a wise Master.
Finally, Master, Brandon is my given name. Its former Master chose not to change it because we were college students and it just kept things simpler. Also, it promises to keep eyes down, legs spread, mouth open as often as possible. Master had trained it about open legs but never anything about open mouth. It has already begun practicing so it might be possible to please You when it becomes possible to meet.
Humbly, brandon.
While composing these responses, one of the fellow subs on "rule me" asks a question: "could you give an example of a strict way you were ruled by your former Master? **** We were only together on weekends but He would rule my behavior during the week as well. For example, He require that I be naked everywhere in my floor of my dorm and in my room.
That was hot! Hey, my name is Cutter. Worst thing for me is that I always had to wet myself instead of using a bathroom. ****eeek! *I wore a diaper. ****still eeek. *What other rules were you given? ****I had to blow any guy in my dorm who wanted it. *Caged? ****Yes, just about all the time.
Second guy (Master) replies immediately.
Boy, you serve Me by writing frequently and honestly, realizing that you are always eligible for punishment for sloppy writing. And the next time you write I want you to tell Me about a time when you were sobbing not only for pain but because your Master had opened up something inside you that made you realize just what you were becoming.
Your bad experience is certainly mystifying. Perhaps the day will come when you will have an answer to that mystery. In the meantime, I will be especially aware that despite your need for someone to take you in hand again, you are still suffering from a broken heart. I have no easy remedy for that. Maybe just an intense experience of training, humiliation and the kind of discipline that modifies your behavior so significantly that it serves to give you distance from the pain you are carrying around inside of you. Better to focus on that rather on trying to figure out what makes no sense to you at this point. I am glad you have the respect for thrashing that any slave is expected to have, and also your admission that there will be times when a slave like you is punished with no specific reason given, so that slave realizes how totally unable to control its own fate it has become. This is a good start. Answer My questions next and reveal more of what makes you know you are meant to be a slave.
Master
By now, the boi was exhausted and decided that his answer to Master Luke could wait. Time for some Sleep. Big day tomorrow. Michael will be here and brandon knows he will need a lot of TLC.
. . .
The next day
After a quick breakfast brandon, still naked, works hard to prepare the room he is giving to Michael and the private bathroom that is attached. Although domestic servitude has never really been his thing, he does get a certain amount of pleasure knowing he is working to make another man happy, even if that "other man" happens to be a fellow sub.
Once that is finished, he goes to do a big grocery shopping and while in the supermarket he sees someone he recognizes from the club and goes to say hello. The guy's name is Paul and he is 20yo so appreciates the "under 21" nights as much as Brandon does. Paul tells him that he's heard about Gavin and his interests and asks if Brandon enjoys the same type of "activities," trying to be delicate so as not to offend Brandon, who puts things to rest by openly admitting that he is a "sub." (He decides not to spring the other S word on Paul for the time being.) "That's nice to know," says Paul. "Perhaps I can call on you when I have needs that an agreeable sub can take care of." Brandon thinks that Paul's way of putting things is really cute. He's obviously afraid of being too blunt and being overheard. "I've been taught to be agreeable," brandon says while winking at Paul and they exchange phone numbers. Paul tells him that he has too roommates and brandon, now slipping into sub mode, says "I'd be happy to offer group rates, but it's fine with me if you'd rather keep the whole matter on the down low. Whatever would be best for you is fine with me." Paul smiles at him. "I'd rather keep you to myself the first time." "Whatever is best for you," says brandon. "That's my main concern." Paul promises to give a call one of these days, and they both go on with their own shopping. Brandon is amazed at how many opportunities are available in his own home town, things he never realized before.
After putting the groceries away, Brandon goes to the gsm site and first checks his chats. No further message from Cutter. Someone on "whipping boys" posted that *I like to give as well as receive. Anyone else like to trade shots? *****Strictly masochist here, sorry. *I'm very talented with a wooden spoon. ***** only on the ass? *where else do you like it? *****inner thighs, armpits, balls. *that could make for a fun scene. *****Never thought I'd meet a prospective Dom in this chat. *checked out your profile. Will keep it in mind. *****Please do, boy12. Just remember that I am only sub. *you'll be a sobbing sub by the time I'm done with you, brandon. *****Have you ever thought of just registering as a Dom? *would have to change my name. *****or have two accounts. Is that allowed? *Not sure. Worth checking. Thanks for the idea. Keep in mind, brandon, that all Doms can read these chats. *****thanks for reminding me. gtg now.
Only a short time later, Brandon receives a message from another Dom entitled "Wooden Spoon"
Obviously I read your conversation in the whipping boys chat. Would love to hold a crop in one hand and the spoon in the other and have you naked on the floor of my carpeted living room crawling and writhing and weeping and trying to get My cock in your slut mouth, Brandon. I'm 30. Too old? Fit. 7" cut. Demanding. Promise to give you the humiliation you deserve as well as good aftercare. Blindfold optional. Nick.
He attached a face pic. He's Asian. Brandon remembers reading somewhere that Asian dudes are experts at giving pain. Worth considering. He writes a quick reply.
30 is a great age. Thank you for the offer, Sir. I got hard picturing myself trying to escape Your blows before I blow. Sounds very appealing. Will look you up at a time when I'm not too sore to appreciate your creative talents. Prefer no blindfold the first time if that's okay with You, Sir.
And then, lest he be distracted, Brandon creates a spreadsheet where he can keep track of the offers and messages. He can't wait to show Michael all about this site. What a great way to get to know the kink community in the area since there's a 21yo age minimum to the one play club in town.
His phone rings. It's Gavin. "Hi, Brandon. I see you've already been active on gsm. Good for you. One of the well-known Doms had good things to say about you in our chats. Seems like you're going to be quickly establishing a reputation. BTW, beware a Dom named Gus."
"He's already messaged me, Gavin. I just deleted it."
"Do you realize you can block?"
"Really? How?"
"Right-click anywhere on his message and the option will appear. Very easy. The blocks are reported to the webmaster. When someone is blocked often he's warned once but then can end up being barred from the site."
"Good to know. And by the way, I have a question. Is it possible to have more than one identity? I met someone who is a switch, so I was wondering."
"As far as I know, there can only be one identity per email."
"So someone can have a Dom email and a sub email?"
"I'm pretty sure that would be okay. Why? You thinking of switching?"
"No. Not me. Someone else I met."
"Switches can be frustrating because a lot of times they end up wanting to switch within a scene."
"I wouldn't go for that."
"I didn't think you would. So what's in store for you today?"
"Just getting ready for company. My roommate at the U was just kicked out of the house by his evangelical parents when they found out he's gay. He's coming down to live with me, at least until he gets himself settled."
"that shit makes me sick. Good for you for offering to take him in. I assume he's a nice guy if he's a friend of yours."
"thanks, Gavin. Yes, he is. We're good for one another. I'm sad about what happened to him but happy that he accepted my invitation to try to get started fresh down here."
"Looking forward to meeting him. Not to change the subject, but how's your body after our scene yesterday?"
"Not bad. Lingering pains here and there but nothing to be concerned about. I'm a tough guy, you know."
"Yes, indeed, I do know. By the way, there's talk that Ronny's (the club they've been attending) is considering two under 21 nights a week."
"That would be great, although I must say that it looks like I'm not going to need to go to a club in order to meet some really hot Doms thanks to gsm."
"that's what most people say. I've found it a great way to find slaves, and can really get lost for hours checking out all the sub pics and profiles."
"I can see how that can be addicting. I've already spent a lot of time on it already today. Had to shake myself loose to get some things done around here to make room for Michael."
"Well I'll let you go. Looking forward to meeting your friend. I'm sure Andrew will as well."
"bye for now."
After hanging up, Brandon sends a message to boy12: *****More than one account allowed, but only one account per email. *dunno about that. I know someone who got barred from doing that. *****Wow. Good to know, not that I'm going to create a second account. See if you can get more info."
*Will do.
