How to Master the Master

With the internet being now almost accessible to anyone there is an abundance of information being made available even on the most bizarre topics. When you cannot find it using one of the well known search engines, you usually will find something about it on WikiPedia. The lifestyle my slave and I are choosing to live is no exception to this phenomenon, tying in Total Power Exchange and hitting the search button yields a copious amount of results. 

There is one topic that even our community does not like to talk about. By putting myself into a position of absolute power I am making myself vulnerable to all of the cognitive biases that we come fitted with from birth on. I have to make a conscious effort to Master the Master within me or else that Master will start to Master me very soon. 

The Corruption Through Power

Some of you might be familiar with a very well known cognitive bias which quite blatantly states that “people feeling in power(…)

  • We proudly present - BDSM 101 #1

    This entry is part 1 of 11 in the series BDSM 101

    Without further ado, here is the new star of herowner.com. Please let me introduce you to BDSM-101 the fun and light-hearted and sometimes educational but surely completely normal Master/slave comic strip. Created by Don with some ideas from yours truly and input from my slave. I sincerely hope that everyone who visits this web-site will enjoy these strips.

    Introducing BDSM 101

    The first strip is meant not only to introduce the comic itself, but to also show you all that my slave and I lead a completely normal life. We have our own rituals and our own ways of how we choose to express ourselves, but the scene you see depicted in this introductory piece of art is a normal one in our home.

    I read books, just like anyone else, I spend time with the woman I love. We simply happen to be spending time a little different than others when we are together. Yes, my slave wears a collar, yes my slave wears a leash,(…)

    I thought that I should give a little progress report on where Don and I are regarding the comic. I am encouraged by the comment I have gotten on my previous post and it seems that there will be some that might like to read it after all. I have left much of the decision on how to style the comic and what its characters will be like to Don as he has about 35 years experience being an artists and I have none.

    We have both agreed on an introductory piece, to quote Don:

    “I envision the first “strip” to be an introduction to the strip proper. A wide one panel with a portrait shot of you at the beginning…

    of course I cannot reveal too much, I need to keep the suspense after all.

    There is one interesting area though I want to touch on since Don asked me about it and I think it is necessary for me to stress this and(…)

  • A BDSM Comic Is Worth More Than….

    Recently I have had the pleasure of reading an article by one of my heroes. His name is Jakob Nielsen and the recently published article deals with participation inequality on most popular web-sites. According to the  article published by Nielsen:

    • 90% of users are lurkers (i.e., read or observe, but don’t contribute).
    • 9% of users contribute from time to time, but other priorities dominate their time.
    • 1% of users participate a lot and account for most contributions: it can seem as if they don’t have lives because they often post just minutes after whatever event they’re commenting on occurs.

    Thinking about this I have come to the conclusion that this general observation is probably true for my slaves and my web-log as well. I want you to participate though, so how can I make this wish come true?

    Step One…

    As a first step of my invitation for more participation comments are now enabled by default. No longer do you have to register and login before you can(…)
