What happens to your identity as a slave when the Master you've belonged to for 21 years dies?

You can listen to this episode on Spotify or Apple Podcasts.

The Erotic Realm podcast explores eroticism in all its forms, including the darker desires of BDSM and kinky sexuality. It’s mission is to humanise eroticism one erotic realm at a time.


In this episode I’m joined by Kim — MJ’s Girl, who shares the story of her 21-year Master/slave relationship with Master Joe, and what happened to love, submission and identity after his death.

We explore:

  • What 21 years in a Master/slave relationship taught Kim about love and submission.

  • The difference between being a slave and a submissive.

  • Why this fiercely independent woman chose to give one particular man her submission.

  • The psychology of collaring, ownership and erotic identity.

  • What happens to a slave identity after the death of a Master.

  • How continuing bonds may help us understand carrying a BDSM relationship forward through grief.
