It depends completely on the motivation. I had a regular (black) slave in NYC who would engage me in a "plantation owner/slave" role play. It was important for him and very much me to be out of role before hand and during aftercare--lots of aftercare. He is such a beautiful, sensitive soul who has taken the racial abuse to his sex map. For my part, I tried to make it healing for him. Yes he was the "slave" but in a way he was in control of the session and racism.

With any intense degradation I find I can go deeper when I work with my sub who I do not see as a "loser" but as someone who gets excited when called a loser.
