          On his journey as a mentor, Master Taino touches the lives of many leathermen and boys, making a difference on the newcomers to the Master/slave lifestyle.  Master Taino receives dozens of e-mails regarding His website, play scenes or mentoring work.  The following are just a sample of these testimonies.

 Found my soul   

Hello Master Taino SIR,

Once again, I want to thank you for all you have done for me during the five unforgettable days.   I have learned a great deal from you SIR and also from brother slave david.

I have always been searching opportunities to challenge both my physical and mental limits. My
struggle has always been that finding of tops who understood how to challenge me mentally. But being with you was a totally different experience: Instead of focusing on “my limits”, you directly challenged my soul, which has shocked me, waken me up or even changed me… I was brought back to face a very fundamental question: Am I a slave?

In the five days, you also showed me what a GREAT MASTER is about. Your Mastery philosophy makes you stand out from very self-centered domination world. You have done so much to educate and to nurture boys along with their journey to grow and achieve their dreams of slavery. “What is a Master so great about?” I often thought, “He is not only knowing how to enjoy boys' bodies, he also knows how to inject the courage into boys' soul and gives them more strength to survive, to stand firm for their believes, to fight for hopes when they have nothing...” You are a true MASTER who has all these qualities.

A good slave boy should be submissive, devoted and loyal. Brother slave david also gave me a good lesson.  I feel so sorry for his mistreated past, but very much admire his dedication and devotion. I began to understand: a slave boy’s need is serving his MASTER, is not about how much his own pleasure or limits to be met or fulfilled, or in other words, fulfilling his MASTER’s need is the slave boy’s only pleasure.

Other brother slave boys’ story, especially brother slave tommy’s story, moved me deeply. I admire their dedications. Also through their own experiences, I have learned more about MASTER SIR. The hardest thing was to read those letters between brother slave tommy and MASTER SIR, tears running silently…

The night before my departure, I was chained to the cross. The weight was on my balls and clamps were on my nipples, a whip kept landing on my chest…That was the first time in my life, I felt no longer scared. I took the pain proudly, not for my own pleasure, not about challenging my limits…but for a man whom I felt I can trust, whom I felt I belong to, whom I want to please in whatever way he likes.

The five days was finally coming to the end. My mind was occupied by a sense of losing something I had just found. I found myself very confused about some questions I thought I had had answers. I felt I needed to find myself back in my soul…

While the plane was taking off from the National Airport, I looked out from the window: Laying in front of my eyes, there were some greatest landmarks of the nation, the Capital Hill, the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorials Hall…they were still so familiar from my past visits. But what are about the rest of the surroundings? I wondered, those buildings, green fields, streets, bridges and river were brushed in gold by the late afternoon sun, making the entire city so pretty but largely and silently remains mysterious unknown to me. I started to see that there was an underline from this picture: I am still a boy who knows nothing or only little about the world, who has to learn…

Love YOU SIR,
boy tony


 The responsibility of a Master  

Master Taino,

Thank you for sharing with us the inner dynamics of your family and intimate glimpse into a world so often misunderstood due to prejudice, fear and ignorance. Your philosophy of the caring, nurturing and responsible Master are a relief and has validated my own attitudes. Bravo for bringing our lifestyle out of the shadows and into the light of day! For the last 10 years I have participated in the S&M and master/slave scene - usually in a fantasy forum with detached feelings - just sex! Picking up techniques along the way, I sort of accepted the superficial nature of the scene - but always haunted by an inner feeling of "is there more?" Although I have experienced a lot - it has always been from the perspective of a fantasy fulfillment..

Here's the kicker SIR! We have since realized that this was no mere fantasy fulfillment - we have experienced our "core beings" and have released what heretofore seemed taboo and sick by "friends" "family" - people who we felt loved and understood us (but not this far) and our own inner fearful selves. This is NATURAL to us! Our bonding has become so deep and meaningful and our "labels" crystal clearly defined! He seeks to please and serve me and I want to own, control and be responsible to and for him. Take him, break him, love him, teach him and nurture him! Your philosophy stressing the balance is so very much where I want to be with my boy. Actually we have BOTH been researching our true identities and it was Jeff who came across your website and like a good boy, so proud to show his eagerness to be the best boy he can be for me, asked me to check it out.

I don't have all the answers....hell I don't even have all the questions! I know I could learn a lot from you - and more than anything, I want to do this right! I have to do this right! His love and dedication to serving me and making me happy are so sincere and heartfelt, that I owe it to my boy to do this RIGHT!

The best years of my/our lives is ahead of us. I am so grateful to have a boy so dedicated to me. The responsibility to protect and nurture I proudly accept as a man and Master.

In many ways I have "come into my own" regarding my dominance - but I seek to learn and grow better - keeping that balance between love, guidance, dominance and control. A melding of your years of experience and my own twist. Additionally, I encourage him to learn. Our unconditional bond and love are not threatened by growth and learning. I am so proud of my boy! We welcome mentoring and/or training and certainly your personal advice. I also feel that it would be beneficial to eventually experience your training weekend and become involved in MAsT. Please, if you would be so kind, share with us any information, direction or tips on enriching our participation in the Master/boy community. We would also be interested in "giving back" to the community in the future.  

Sincerely,

Master Skip


 My slave heart 

Dear Master Taino,
 
SIR, the past weekend was truly an eye-opening experience for me. It was not only eye-opening but i was able to find in myself that i do have a natural slave heart.  A slave heart thirsting to be nurtured and mentored which you unselfishly fed and cared for SIR. For this, my profound thanks to You SIR.
 
i felt transformed from a butterfly endlessly searching for the right nectar into a bee that has a found Hive to return to. You, SIR, have opened an avenue of opportunity for me to discover my potentials as a slave. i know i have many more things to learn to become a better slave.  But that first fledgling step that i took under Your wings SIR have afforded me to gain more courage and confidence to pursue and seek what my longing slave heart craves for all these years. For this realization, i humbly thank You SIR.
 
Many questions about my being were answered during my short stay with You SIR and i know that with much patience and determination to get back to You, i will continue to grow under Your guidance.
 
Respectfully Yours SIR,
slave will

 Insightful website   

Sir, 

i wanted to take this opportunity to thank You from the bottom of my slave heart for Your  insightful  website.  it has given me great comfort, pride, and self assurance in my quest to find a Master / Daddy to serve and dedicate my self to.  Often Your words have saved me from making uniformed choices that might have jeopardized my  need to serve a real Master / Daddy.

Daddy Andrew (me new Master) speaks very highly of You, Sir and i sincerely hope that one  day i will have the honor and privilege of finally meeting the Man  that has played such a significant role in my search for fulfillment  and completeness. 

Sir , thank You for Your time and patience
Sir, Thank You, Sir

 On slave tommy's memorial   

Sir,

i just went to your website and read about you and your leather family. i was greatly moved by the section on slave tommy, his journey in life and your farewell letter. Thank you Sir, for sharing the love and guidance that you and slave tommy experienced.

i was in a slave
-in-training a few years ago and felt the love of my Master. It was the most powerful thing i have ever been through. Our relationship ended and He has since passed away, but reading your letter and slave tommy's letters brought all my feeling for my Master to the surface.

Thank you Sir, for being so open and caring to share such personal feelings with the world.

 Genuine and inspiring

Master Taino Sir,

I just wanted to say thank you for your truly inspirational web site. It is quite wonderful to visit. You've made this boy pretty happy this morning Sir.

I cruise around the web, looking for the usual assortment of hot pics of slaveboys serving their owners, and not spending too much time at any one of 'em Sir. Your site stopped me dead in my tracks and made me read!

Your sections on mentoring and philosophy really struck a chord Sir. It is well thought out and shows an understanding of what goes on in a submissive's head. It is nice to believe that somebody has actually taken the time and the energy to think about us boys as people Sir. One runs into so many master wannabee's, and gets used and then discarded. It can make a boy positively cynical! You are the genuine article Sir, and it is inspiring to know that men like you actually do exist.

I was also very touched by the memoriam to slave tommy, and wanted to offer my sincerest condolences and sympathy to you and your family. To have lost the companionship of such a lovely boy must be a great burden to bear. But you must feel great pleasure in knowing that you made such a difference in his life, and that he moved on knowing that he was a valued person in yours. He must have been pretty happy about that. He'll always be around in that one doesn't forget the delight and joy in having known the company a loved one. So guess what...he's still with you Sir, and will never leave :)

On a lighter note, wow! What a hot bunch of pics! I now know who the famous pic of the boy getting spanked in the street at Folsom actually is! It made me quite envious. Lucky me Sir, for having found out it's you! Thanks.

You do good stuff Sir. Obviously a Master worthy of respect and admiration. I just wanted to let you know that in that vast cyber world, your efforts are having a very positive effect on complete strangers. Ya made my Day Master Taino Sir.

Gratefully,

padlocks

 Thank You SIR  

Thank you, SIR, for allowing me to begin to service you last Saturday.  I appreciate your patience in my inexperience.  I felt a strong connection to you and hope that you found me worthy of your time.

I felt a great many emotions and recognize that I have a strong desire to be dominated by a Master.  In our limited time, you brought me further than I have ever been before.  One lesson that I am trying to learn, SIR, is that the acceptance of pain from you is a form of submitting to your control.  At the time, I found it frightening and uncomfortable---yet strangely erotic.  I have since noticed that the soreness is a reminder of the event and that I find highly satisfying.

I must admit that I have difficulty in seeing this beyond a part-time sexual relationship.  I am not sure if I will be able to devote the time you expect due to my commitment to my partner of almost 12 years.  He is first in my life and we are extremely close. We spend most of our free time together and that is very important to both of us.

I realize, SIR, that there are a great many boys willing to devote themselves to you.  I understand if you think my limitations do not meet your requirements, however I hope you can find the time to work me into your demanding schedule. 

Thank you again, SIR.

 You have my respect 

 

"This boy [had] the great opportunity to become acquainted with the highest caliber of Masters, such as Yourself.  You possess all the qualities which other Masters can only hope to one day acquire.  This boy thanks You for Your caring, Your compassion, Your mentorship, Your support.  Mostly, thank You for being who You are, and for opening Yourself to this boy.  You have both my respect and love within this community"

 One hot evening

Master T -

i just visited your website. You certainly are a pro! I was a very lucky man last Saturday night at SigMa and i very much appreciate your attention, skill and care.

My experience with S&M includes some experiments with a lover a few years ago, a few creative one-night stands, one previous hot night at SigMa in November and porn. Never have i been at the hand of someone so experienced and caring and i had a blast.

As i reflect (and fantasize) on the night and that side of my sexual desires, i'm actually glad i'm not living in a city where i could get TOO heavily into the scene. For me (at the moment at least) i love the thrill of the unknown and the new. Of giving myself over to the hands of someone i feel i can trust but have just met.

You did amazing things to my body last week (and as promised, no lasting marks). If it worked out with You, I'd love to meet You again. As i said, i'm starting a particularly intense time at work that will last thru most of the spring. But i do appreciate how rare it is to find someone like You and look forward to more of the fire you put me through.

Best of luck with Your family and Your adventures.

 My first steps 

Master Taino

i sit here tonight transformed. a week ago i took my first fledgling steps into a world that has for a long time been a kind of whispered fantasy--just beyond my reach. its been there a dream unrealized without substance or focus because lacked a key. You and Your family became that key.

i don't exactly know what else to say except that--after the flogging Your boy mikal became something primal--something almost purely spiritual in nature. it was the most erotic and fantastic mental and physical ride. i know it was just the tip of the iceberg it was something that felt like a birthing-or rebirthing--now comes the time for growth--and maturing

this erotic birth in Your dungeon w/ tommy, dave and jeff felt so much greater for there presence--it added a sense of purpose, fraternity, and love to the whole process that i scarce think i could have imagined any other way it could or even should have happened.

the sexual energy harnessed within Your boy by Your guidance and love has rededicated me to this task of service,loyaly,obedience,and trust in Sir.there is something within me trying to gain form-that form whatever it may be is of course Yours for the molding--but i cant think of anyone else--any other family id be more proud of being reborn onto than yours Sir.

 A great role model

Thank you Master Taino for being a great role model.  I am a Master with a slave and I am hard, but caring and loving toward him. I hear daily about slaves who are being mistreated by some of these bad guys, but I appreciate your input into my life and my slave appreciate it too.

 Appreciation 

Sir,

i just wanted to take the time to thank You for all You have done for me. i met Uou when i was lost and alone. Unsure of who i was.

You talked to me like i was a man, equals in worth, but not position. You showed me respect, the respect due to someone who longs to give their soul to another man. And You guided me. i feel that guidance has played a big part in the steps that have led me to where i am today. Though i wear another man’s collar, in many ways, i feel i am and will always be one of your boys, Sir.

You told me when we met, how to approach someone, and how to present myself in a serious way. That was something i never knew before. i guess i expected a good Master to smell my true self and not have to be shown it. That was naive, You told me of the many flakes and fakes online who will represent themselves even better than i could. You told me to be true to myself, and after some chat, were even complimentary of my strengths and attitudes.

i had done much searching to find who i was, and you pointed me in directions i had not found. i took the advice you gave me. i changed my approach and my demeanor to the proper way of a boy who is seeking a Master. i was quickly rewarded with the attention of many Men, some were even flakes and fakes. But most were genuine, and searching like me. Your words were true and you didn't sugar coat anything for me. Several times You advised me to be very certain that i wanted what i was asking for. i did. And now i have it. i think I owe that, at least in part, to Your advice.

i am honored that You took the time and effort to stop and talk to me, to point me in the direction i needed to go. My Master and i are both appreciative. The one thing you said that sticks in my mind is this "There are many kinds of boys, and many kinds of Masters, the key is knowing which you want to be, and to be with" or something like that. i have found the one I want to be with, and because of your advice, i have found the one i want to be. i hope that You will share Your advice and time and effort with other boys like me, lost and needing just a bit of encouragement. I think many people in our lifestyle forget, it is a hard road to submission. And all a boy needs is those moments when he is told "you are not crazy, you are not wrong, be yourself the rest will come." i got those words from You.

 The Master’s passion

i just visited Your website...it is very compelling and extremely powerful. Thank You for sharing Your passion.

submissively,

slave bob


 Thank You, Sir

Dear Master Taino,

I want to thank you over and over for being so generous and caring with this boy. You invited me in your home, talked with me, fed me and listened to my problems and fears. Thank you. You are truly a Master to be revered and respected. I am still not sure where I fit in, however in your family. Not because you all haven't looked on me with kindness or welcomed me with open arms but because I think I still don't feel completely comfortable being a slave. I know that it is there and will completely explode one day (probably soon), but that intensity of spirit hasn't yet arrived. What I need though is to be around wonderful and brilliant Masters, writers, intellectuals and mentors in the field such as yourself, and your wonderful family. I sincerely hope that your invitation to IML is still open to me, and I will have the money for you at any time. If it is OK Sir I would like to e-mail you from time to time in order to get my feelings out and possibly seek correction from you. I know that you are very busy and would always consider this an honor and a privilege.

Sincerely,

boy lars
