I've been happily collared for a little over 2 years now, and I wouldn't have it any other way. It took me many a years to find a Master who was real and who has a lot of common interest with me. Originally, I started out as just a slave, a possession if you will, but over time I have worked my way up to become my Master's prized trophy pet. The interesting part is that originally, my Master only wanted me as a pet for a very specific purpose, but the more tests that he began to put me though, the more useful I became to him, largely due to the fact that he has stressed to me many times that I am a very rare breed of slave…
The biggest problem that I found in finding a Master was finding someone both with experience and the know-how of the lifestyle, as it's more than just a sexual fantasy or a "role" as it were, but I'm very glad that I did. Being a slave is more than just the sexual aspect and the domination. It's a way of life, unlike any other that in its own way is very rewarding.
On the topic of the collar, in the last 2 years, it has not come off my neck unless Master has taken it off to put something else on for the current moment, or I have had to remove it to step into the shower. While the collar is more like a ring around a finger in this case, it goes far beyond just the collar. There's something about giving yourself up to another person that's always just thrilled me, and I'm very lucky that my Master and I share a lot of the same interests, as this has resulted in a lot of very fun times. Also, nothing thrills me more than seeing his reaction when I outdo myself to thrill him. That's part of why I love the fact that we are both so "twisted" for lack of a better term. Most people call it sadistic, but in our case, it goes far beyond sadistic. 
Also, my Master absolutely LOVES to enjoy when am the subject of a good show, and actually encourages, and in some cases, has even required, that I submit to serving another dom just so that he can enjoy the show and see just how much I can take. In one particular case, he ordered a photo shoot as a way for me to prove that I would so whatever was asked, without hesitation. Like a good boi, I accepted the challenge immediately and provided him with this.... https://www.dropbox.com/sh/hk1hk00lenb9lqw/AADO8b9y-uV3tkTlOGHnuXWCa?dl=0 It's always rewarding in the end, as every time, he has rewarded me immensely for doing exactly as he wished, without hesitation. To be honest, I would be rather lost without my Master. It's a special kind of bond really.
@bostonpolar:
I made arrangements to meet about 10-15 of them. I lost count because of what happened – which was that NOT ONE of them showed up to meet with me as we had planned. In almost all cases they never contacted me to tell me they were not going to come and just stood me up. Then I got ghosted by them and never heard from any one of them again.
The sad thing that I find is that this seems to be the case with most people on the internet. They'll talk the talk because it's a hot fantasy for them, but when the time comes to put their money where their mouth is, most of them cannot be bothered, usually because by that point, they've already gotten their rocks off. This is the biggest problem I find when my Master orders me to do things like find a play thing for him online.
