RECRUITMENT PROCESS: Introduction

If you have a calling (vocation) to obedience and devoted service to a Master; are energized by living intimately with other like-minded spiritual and kinky leatherfolk where values like honesty, integrity, respect, honor, and fraternity are valued and supported; and desire to live your authentic nature (as a pet, slave/property or object) contributing to an accepting and loving household; then, the House of BlackLeather may be of interest to you. 

What follows below are frequently asked questions those unfamiliar with or new to the Master/slave or total power-exchange (TPE) community often ask to learn more about whether this house may be what they seek.

WHAT IS THE HOUSE LIKE?  The Household is a leather, poly, Master/slave, service-oriented and training household.  It is structured upon the discipline and protocol of a para-military and monastic organization in which Master BlackLeather serves as head of household and exercises complete authority over the members and the functioning of the household.  

HOW IS THE HOUSE ORGANIZED?  The organizational structure of the house is based upon the principles of three primary sources: MAsT International, monasticism, and para-military organizations.  

The Master/slave (M/s) dynamic of this household is in keeping with the notions of M/s as espoused by MASTER AND slaves TOGETHER (MAsT) International which emphasizes M/s as a spiritual development process toward more complete surrender of the slave to the authority of the Master.  

A monastic model is the foundation of the “formation” process for bringing new members into the household and supporting the spiritual development of the members.  

And last, the military model (aligned closely with Bushido) supports a “chain-of-command” leadership process and cultivation of an attitude of ready, willing, eager, and unhesitating obedience and service in all spheres of life (both within and outside the household). Authority, growth and discipline are the roots upon which this house is formed and grows.

WHAT IS IT LIKE LIVING IN THE HOUSEHOLD?  The environment of the household is strict, safe, communal, spiritually-based, tobacco and other drugs-of-use free, sex-positive, and oriented toward physical, emotional, spiritual, and mental well-being.   The household is a refuge for the manifestation and realization of each member’s authentic nature within the context of mutual respect, support, and responsibility for the well-being of Master and the members of His household. 

This Household is a well-established and well-respected household in the Pittsburgh M/s community where Master BlackLeather has served as MAsT-Pittsburgh, Chapter Director.

WHAT WOULD BE EXPECTED OF AN APPLICANT?  You would be directly serving the Master of the Household and functioning as an aide under the Household's head slave.  Uniforms are required at the time of initial presentation and worn thereafter to identify with the household when in public. Otherwise, slaves are in natural state at all times within the house with only a collar to identify it as property and, as it MASTER's pleasure, to hood the slave to further dis-identify it from its former life.  

Your gender, sexual orientation, age, and body shape are not critical factors for consideration.  Though like the Spartan army, the  ability to serve through hard physical labor within the house and dungeon is required for consideration as a permanent member.  The only essential requirements for consideration are: honesty, obedience, dependability, self discipline, submission, loyalty, and commitment to personal authenticity and transparency within a Master/slave household as what it is: pet, slave/property, or object.

WHAT IS THE FORMATION PROCESS?  After a period of inquiry and several short visits, you will be allowed to make petition for consideration as a prospect in the household.  

Following Master’s acceptance of the petition, a tag is placed by Master’s hand around the neck affirming acceptance as a “prospect” of Master BlackLeather.  The tag is to remain until removed by Master at which time a prospect is accepted as a “trainee” within the household.  Prospects come in and out of the house for short periods of preliminary training. Once the prospect has demonstrated sufficient understanding of Master’s house--its principles, protocols and rituals-- and readiness for a more dedicated relationship with Master and the household, Master removes the “prospect” tag and places a “trainee” collar with lock around the neck.

Thereafter, the trainee is in service and training within Master’s house on a 24/7/365 basis until such time as the trainee is ready to offer his “final and life-time consent” as a permanent gift to Master.  Master determines when He is ready to accept full responsibility for the trainee’s gift (freedom) and as His permanently-owned property.   At which time, a slave collar without lock is placed by Master’s hand around the slave’s neck for a lifetime of dedicated and devotional obedience and service.  

Throughout this process, a member is developed completely according to his nature to be of excellent, enthusiastic and without hesitation obedience and service.  There is no area of a member’s life that is not within the scope of Master’s authority, direction and development.  For those seeking a more realized nature, this is exactly how life is lived in the household.  We seek and find harmony, living O/our authentic natures together.

WHERE IS THE HOUSEHOLD LOCATED?  Master maintains several houses in western and central PA and service at any of them is expected.  This also gives others interested in the house from outside of Pittsburgh greater opportunity to be associated with the household.  The central house is located in Pittsburgh and is being developed so that Master can: a) have His entire household under one roof, b) provide training events and hospitality for others, and c) have a well-developed dungeon for training.  

YOU'RE READY…if the idea of being a member of a leather, poly, M/s household that encourages personal and spiritual growth appeals to you...if the idea of being owned by one and cared for and nurtured by more than one person appeals to you...if you have the capacity to harmoniously return caring and nurturing to more than one person...if you have skills that you believe would benefit the Household; then contact Master at 



for further information and to begin a conversation about and into slavery.

INTRODUCTION

The House of BlackLeather is a Master/slave (M/s) household located in Pittsburgh, PA, USA.  Master Mark BlackLeather is head-of-house and has a poly leather-household/family consisting of a boy, a 24/7/365 collared slave, and three prospects in various stages of training and service. MASTER and household members at the casino on a household outing.  Being a "real" household means knowing how to have "fun" outside the household as well. The household is committed to living the M/s dynamic with authenticity and transparency and welcomes others interested in pursuing the same.  Master offers training sessions that explore the nature of the M/s dynamic and assists inquirers to self-identify (boy, sub, pet, slave, or property/object) and to live their nature with authenticity and pride.   Whatever the nature of the inquirer or level of experience (novice to expert), each is expected to obey, serve, please, and worship Master with enthusiasm, excellence and wit

RECRUITMENT AND ACQUISITION PROCESS

Greetings prospective property to the House of BlackLeather. The following will give it some indication of the kind of property that MASTER seeks and some of the general parameters and/or conditions that enable it to be possessed as property.  MASTER is fully aware that what MASTER seeks may or may not be what a prospective property seeks.  Thus, MASTER's responsibility is to offer clarity so that both MASTER and property are very aware of what MASTER expects so that the property can make a well-informed and grounded decision as to whether to proceed or not as prospective property in this MASTER’s household.  By making as much of what is expected known upfront reduces misunderstanding and potential claims of abuse.  MASTER is seeking only those which are by nature born to servitude and ownership, desire to be claimed and owned, and voluntarily seek this manner of life experience.  Finally, MASTER seeks those that consensually affirm their willing participation in growing a

COMPLETE OBEDIENCE

In my opinion the removal of eyebrows, more than anything else makes a slave look subhuman, abnormal, a freak, and a thing that has surrendered everything to MASTER.  Such a slave is like a blank canvas upon which MASTER is able to form it as MASTER pleases knowing all the while, the slave understands that this is what it is for, the reason for its creation, and the manner of experiencing its full nature.  People in the street will, stare, not obvious at first what is disturbing them about its appearance. Then they will see it and look away, embarrassed, feeling pity or disgust, possibly sneering or even laughing.  The slave will struggle with the effects of shame-inducing social feedback.  Yet, for a bornslave, there is only pride in knowing that it obeyed MASTER's will and purpose with no regard for or about itself.  MASTER ordered, it obeyed.  There is nothing more to be ashamed about as the slave recognizes that it is now truly the property of another and whatever shame or
