This is a tentative credo for the slave.  Each Master has the
prerogative to modify it:
 
1. I am a slave, and as such I surrender myself completely to
   my Master, and to His love for me.
2. Because my body is now my Master's property, it is no
   longer my right to protest any use He chooses to make of it.
   Rather, it is an honor if He deigns to touch me at all.
3. It is my duty to obey any and all commands given me by
   my Master, and to do this without question.
4. I shall speak only when my Master gives me permission to
   speak, and any question I have regarding His commands or
   the specifications of my assigned duties are to be in
   private, never in front of other people.
5. I acknowledge my inferiority to my Master.
6. In all personal activities, I surrender all decisions to
   my Master:
   a) I shall wear only the clothing my Master permits me
      to wear, or go naked if He so requires.
   b) My bodily functions are controlled completely by my
      Master;  even the times when I may go to the bathroom
      are as specified by Him.
   c) If I am permitted to work, I shall work only for my
      Master, and surrender to Him all proceeds from my labors.
   d) I shall address my Master as "Sir" or "Master" or by
      whatever title He chooses to specify.
   e) I shall keep my body in the specified state of
      cleanliness, outside or otherwise, according to my
      Master's experssed desires.
   f) I shall accept whatever punishments my Master may
      decree without complaint or protest.
   g) At all times, I will stand in a respectful posture in
      my Master's presence, and will sit or lie down only
      with His consent.  At no time will I presume to sit on a
      piece of furniture without my Master's express
      permission.
   h) My very thoughts will be only to love and serve my
      Master and make Him proud of me.  I will never carry
      feelings of resentment toward Him, and if such a
      thought should involuntarily cross my consciousness I
      shall immediately confess these feelings to Him and
      submit to whatever punishment He deems appropriate.
7. I recognize my duty to keep my body in a proper,
   healthy condition for my Master's use and pleasure.
8. I will reside in whatever domicile is commanded and
   provided by my Master.
9. I will eat only those foods provided by my Master, when
   and where He specifies that I may eat them.
10. I will never drink alcohol or take drugs without my
    Master's specific permission.
11. I will at all times be available for my Master's use, or
    the use of whomever He shall command me to serve.  At
    the same time, I shall do my best never to be an
    encumbrance upon Him, or to make Him uncomfortable by my
    presence.
12. I will submit willingly to whatever additional rules my
    Master may wish to impose, either now, or at a later
    date.
