A slave girl chained in a BDSM dungeon.

In some forms of BDSM, the role of slave means one who is controlled or dictated to by another person, who is known as a Master or Mistress. A slave is a submissive, but the term implies a more pervasive relationship than "submissive" does. A slave is almost always a slave to a specific Master (or Mistress). Occasionally, but rarely, a slave will acknowledge more than one Master. A master/slave relationship suggests one that goes beyond sexual scenes, and affects the day-to-day life of the people involved.

However, different people have different conceptions of the role, and may use it in different ways. There is no single accepted and definitive list of traits that a "slave" must possess, nor is there clear agreement on what distinguishes a "slave" from a "submissive".

Outside a BDSM context, a slave is a person who is owned or wholely controlled by another, without the slave's consent.
