anything can be a legal document as long as you're the king of your own country! sex slavery is legal actually, said king baguettefish the first of the nation of knockoff breaded fish, population 2.
A long time ago my wife was bratting me and demanded to know why I got to make up the rules. (À la ‘who said that was the rule?’ and ‘Well, I don’t see it written down!’)
There’s a post-it with a hastily scrawled “I am the law.” on it that I use up as ‘proof’ of my claims to domestic power.
Mind you, that’s all for play. We don’t fuck with anything that could violate consent.
It's a fun way to do CNC / free use play because you both get to spell out exactly what is and isn't off limits in a way that diagetically fits within the fantasy. It's gotten a bad rap because it's a big part of 50 Shades, but it's actually a really fun concept when done properly.
In the U.S. the whole 13th amendment business makes it a legal non-starter, but as long as you don’t want the state to actually enforce the contract, you can agree to whatever you want.
Also I’d absolutely love to see a deep dive from Devin into civil law (contract, tort, liability, injury, defamation etc) as it pertains to BDSM.
As with everything, consenting adults make almost any court case between two people effectively null, unless the state asserts its authority (as is with certain types of injury), and/or when it pertains to other people (when person A tries to tell person C that they own person B, and such try to claim control of various processes, etc.)
I'd be interested in how much the law would allow or understand those cases, or in which cases the state is allowed (without either party filing claims) to step in by itself. (Which there's a specific word for, but I forgot it)
Oh! I saw the original meme awhile ago, one of the art people I follow reblogs lots of things and this was there. I never knew it got to legal eagle lmao

A "legal" document saying I own my partner does sound pretty hot actually

Isn't that basically what marriage is?

If your concept of marriage demands ownership or subservience, I sincerely hope you never get married.
