level of service will feel treasured as the valuable possession he is. Once again, the reward should fit the slave. For a fetishist, worshipping the fetish object to his heart's content may be in order. Likewise, permission to entertain the dominant by masturbating in front of him would be an excellent reward for a slave who has shown exemplary sexual restraint. If the slave is a "switch," that is, if he has dominant tendencies as well as submissive, one great reward may be the gift of his own slave to train.

    The Collar

    The slave collar remains the most widely recognized mark of submission. Assuch, it makes an excellent reward for a new slave who has completed her preparations well. One dominant friend of mine has devised a collar system. As his slave progresses through the training program, she is rewarded with different collars, each representing a new level of achievement: first white, then red, then green and so on. (Another dominant might provide medals or badges with appropriate titles.
    Dominants with a military bent may mark each advance in rank with a “stripe.") Many slaves crave the collar; some can bar ly function without it. When a dominant collars her slave, she signals that their roles are in full effect. By accepting the collar, the slave indicates her willingness to serve the dominant at that time. If the collaring is performed publicly; at a play party or other community function, it alerts other players that the slave is unavailable and that the dominant should be approached before any contact is made with the slave.
    Collars may be of many different types, from the studded black leather variety to a simple velvet ribbon. Dominants must take great care in selecting the collar, for it is a tangible symbol of their will and their commitment to the slave. The collar should suit the slaves role. A choke chain is appropriate for a slave submitting to canine training; "a delicate lace ribbon may adorn a lady's maid.
    Submissives who serve in non-kinky public should be provided with a more subtle collar - a stylish silver chain from a jeweler's or even a 1ength of leather lacing in the dominant's signature color - to avoid undue attention and confrontation with potentially hostile outsiders. (The submissive may of course be given a more formal collar for service in the home or at BDSM functions.) Miss Abernathy has a particular prejudice regarding collars: they should lock. Anyone may wear a collar for casual play or for the sheer fashion value of it, but a submissive in service to a dominant should be given the assurance that a locked collar provides. The lock not only holds the submissive captive to the dominant, but binds the dominant to the submissive. A dominant may wish to display/the key as a pendant to remind the slave and any onlookers of her power and love for the submissive. (One note of caution is in order here: all locks should have more than one working key; and the submissive should be informed of the location of an emergency key and the specific circumstances under which he may use it to release himself from the collar. I am speaking of real emergencies here: fire, earth/ quakes, medical crises.)
    Collars should fit snugly without impeding movement or restricting breathing. One exception is the posture collar, which is designed to hold the neck straight and the head forward. They are especially useful for slouching sissy maids or other servants who lack focus. A posture collar should be fitted by a knowledgeable leatherworker to assure that it does not damage the neck, restrict breathing, or chafe the skin. Many dominants prefer adjustable collars, particularly if the slave is expected to do heavy labor or to sleep in the collar. In both cases, the neck may swell, and loosening the collar a notch will prevent the danger of strangulation.
    The Collaring Ritual
    When being collared, the slave should present herself in a manner that displays her gratitude and willingness to serve. Miss Abernathy
