Slavery
As it pertains to the BDSM lifestyle, slavery is the act of a Dominant owning a submissive, or a Master owning a slave.

Often times this situation will be agreed upon with the use of a contract, whereas both partners sign a list of agreements, which have been thoroughly negotiated. In many ways, even if in a completely non-sexual manner, entering into a contractual slavery agreement is much like a vanilla marriage situation; both partners are committing themselves to each other as Master and slave.
There are many different levels of slavery, whether it be a roleplay taking place within predefined scenes, or as a lifestyle encompassing a 24/7 situation.
