 "
i have been accepted by a master for training. Already i have received some instructions about how i should behave when at home.
My master is currently deciding on a collar for me. i will be wearing the collar 24/7 and so he is sensitive to choosing something that will be acceptable at my job at the office.
i am new to this, excited and certain about this decision i have made, but i am sure i will encounter feelings that may be unsettling or confusing, and i can't discuss this with co-workers or friends at this time. It is even a bit frustrating not to be able to share my excitement with anyone at the moment.

This is typical you want to shout from the highest tree tops that you are Owned, your are a slave you are MASTERs Property. It is so fantastic it still feels a bit of a dream. So what of the implications of being collared 24/7/356? That is you wearing your collar 24/7 to work etc as a way of life. Let along coping with first
day nerves down at the gym or swimming pool and being confronted with the
question "anybody would think you are a slave! Or something"
Well you cant take the chain off now HE has the key which means... You have to face every situation of your normal life as your new status. Masters rarely teach you this - to be real honest its just makes their dick hard that you are collared - and twitch when they think of your possible humiliation at the coffee machine at work. It is more likely that its your slave brothers that will help you. The chain is on your neck when you go home and have to explain it to your folks - you cannot ask for it to be removed all the time. When you go to the Gym or Swimming people will see it! When you are running on the treadmill at the gym your chain will clank - to your ears LOUDLY.
You will go red in the face, be ashamed and die of the countless humiliations as Master is no where to be seen. You are coming out as a slave! What you gonna do about it?
It is reasonable that your Master still wants you to keep your job or has he plans to provide for your future indefinitely?  I have found that a normal started collar is the traditional chrome dog collar is the best choice.
Here you have a fab collar that is bright shiny chrome with a great dog tag on it that is fine for lifetime use. It has room for your dog name on the front and on the back "Property of Master" What could be better.
That collar is sized so that it rests comfortably around your neck. It is also hidden by your office shirt. The back of the chain can be seen if people look down the back of your neck - how often does that happen ? In mitigating this risk the chain looks like a one of the styles you get in Silver costing several $100. So you are just using social camouflage - A St Christopher could clank as much. Your Master is not likely to allow you to have a chain that can be remotely removed - what is the point of that?
So if you have an open shirt work environment you might want to turn the padlock around to the back of your neck so you see just the chain.
The thing is that after a month or two you will not notice it is on - and let your guard down and then someone might ask a question - so have your script prepared. What if some one asked/said... "anybody would think you are a slave! Or something" It could be that your are a GothBoy or punk? But you are 27 not 17 - so its just a rap or skater thing? But you are 47 not 27 - so its just a biker thing - think ZZtop or Hells Angels?
It is just a fashion ascribed to some social tribe. You could be out and proud and you say - I have a Master or a Mistress. You have to assess the risk - you you work for a bigoted, conservative organisation that holds prejudice views about stereotypes.
That is you are not made of the 'right stuff' for promotion because you are not like them.
My time at IBM I was advised despite being gay that I should marry, play golf and go to the 'right' church if there was any chance of me really getting on.
Ok you cant do much when you are in the gym or going swimming - you just have to be brave and front it out. People will point out people that are different, as in the olden days when there was a black man yet how much does that happen now? Basically people take their cue from you - if you are ok about it then so are they. Equally in big cities the anonymity is so substantial that people will do anything to stand out of the crowd, any thing to be noticed - be anything but average! Some might react to you as either a fashion victim or attention craving. Likewise a potential Master would also notice you. With training your Master will empower you with his strength to be a proud slave - this is what a Master *Should* do, any decent Master would know how to do this. You have to remember - who trained your Master? |
