The novice experiments with many facets of leather sex searching for enjoyable ones. In that act of exploration is the creation of new areas of desire.

The Master will ideally remake the slave using discipline and guidance to sculpt a new person. If the master is wise, he will build the slave's self-esteem along with his body, training his creation to be a better human, above the common crowd.

When the slave locates that person and submits to his control and tutelage, the Master becomes a metaphor for God with virtual power over existence. The Master in turn bears a heavy burden of responsibility, with a worshiper he must wear his assumed powerful role with care.
