Yes, I am a Police Officer...and NO it is not the reason I am a Master.  I chose to serve my fellow Americans in both the US Army during Vietnam and as a Police Sergeant today.  My professional world was violent, dangerous and rended my heart when I saw the pain and agony that people go through everyday. They say you become used to it...well in 10 years as a Cop..I never have and never will.  I am a Gorean Master for two reasons. One, because I feel the deep desire to give...give a kajira a safe place to experience the wonders of emotional release...the release in the act of submission.  Two, because I know that a Master must be of strong character, compassionate and attentive to his slave.  It is in service to Me, that a slavegirl is the most safe...cared for...attended to...disiplined if necessary...but always able to express her need, of which I will fulfuill!  It is not a responsibility to be lacidasical in...because the Honor of the Master requires it... and the kajira deserves it!
