Article Summary

This confessional fiction presents a male narrator who understands his submission to two women as a permanent "life sentence." During a business trip, he encounters Asada Kaoru, a woman who had dominated him two years earlier. He betrays his current mistress, Mitsuko, by submitting to Kaoru again. After discovering the betrayal, Mitsuko imposes a five-day regimen designed less around conventional whipping than around isolation, animalization, deprivation, compelled ingestion, confinement, and psychological reconditioning. The punishment culminates when Kaoru appears as Mitsuko's guest, revealing that the women have known one another since school and have arranged to share him as a slave. They then mark his body with a tattoo reading "slave," making his status ostensibly permanent.

The article is historically notable as an early-1960s first-person masochistic confession in which female authority is organized as an enduring household hierarchy rather than a single episodic encounter. It combines the magazine's familiar imagery of queens, whips, crawling, leather restraints, and animal identity with themes of ownership, betrayal, discipline, and bodily inscription. The narrator's elaborate honorific language and self-abasing vocabulary frame domination as sacred service, while the coincidence connecting Mitsuko and Kaoru gives the narrative a melodramatic, almost serialized structure. The continuation onto PDF page 52 is essential: it contains the final declaration of shared ownership and the tattoo that explains the title.
