It started when he was ten years old. He was taken away from his family and sent to an all-boys school, where he learned to be obedient, submissive, and timid. All around him, boys were learning the same lessons; boys were conditioned to put their own needs and wants behind those of their female counterparts.
Every day, he faced the same struggle within himself. He longed to be accepted and find a place in society, but he also wanted to be free, to express himself and feel powerful.
When he went home for the holidays he tried to collect his thoughts and decided he wanted to be owned by a mistress. At the same time, he dreaded the thought of living the rest of his life with a collar around his neck - a constant reminder of his servitude to a woman.
Despite the ever-present reminder of his subservience, he could not help but yearn for the acceptance and love of a mistress. Everywhere he went, he saw boys under contract, proudly sporting their collars. In his heart, he thought:
"Perhaps, one day I too can wear a collar and be owned by someone. Perhaps, one day, I will find my place."
When he returned to school, his dreams were shattered. Everyone he met seemed to believe in the system, insisting that it was the way society should work. No one wanted to talk about changing the system of male subservience, citing reasons such as 'tradition' and 'order'.
He felt further isolated and alone. Despite his close friends, he felt like a prisoner in a world that had forgotten about him and his own needs. Even his friends gently mocked him for not having a mistress. Every day, he longed for a mistress who would love him and cherish him the way he desired to be.
Eventually, he found a willing mistress and was put into her service. Despite his excitement and joy, he was constantly reminded of the unfairness of the system - that females were allowed to have authority over him and as a result, he had to be submissive and obedient.
But, he also found a newfound strength. With his collar placed around his neck, he served his mistress with pride, knowing that he had found a place in the world, and that the world had found a place for him.
