Praxton customs

As I mentioned in my last blog I want to talk more on the social customs of Praxton. Many of the customs come from the time when females were treated as valuable slaves. Thus in modern Praxton females are usually restrained to their bed at night, often by being cuffed to the ankle to the foot of the bed. Normally females sleep two to a bed and also sleep in the nude. Thus females consider it normal to exchange physical touches with one another and it is not unusual for intimate relationships to develop.
Females are encouraged not to hide their body. An example is the bath and showers often have glass walls around them that allow others to see them as they wash. Some households even may have one transparent wall of the bath or shower to the outside world.
The fashions on Praxton reflect the past as well. Females wear a collar that identifies their male guardian. They also wear cuffs with various chains attached. These collars, cuffs and chains are less practical as restraints and more like fashion jewellery. While the cuffs and collars are locked, most females are allowed to carry a key to remove them as need requires. While females vary the way they wear cuffs and chains, sometimes choosing to leave them off, they will always wear a collar. The collar is a deeply ingrained symbol to Praxton and a female would never leave her bedroom without wearing one.
On my next blog I shall talk about Praxton from what males are expected to wear and how they act.

Praxton Life

I said in my last blog I would give more of an insight of Praxton and the way of life there. The rest of human civilization, namely the Alliance worlds, believe the women on Praxton are treated as slaves. Praxton disagrees but let me describe a bit about Praxton`s past.
The early history of Praxton started when two rival groups decided to colonize the planet at the same time. One group was military in structure, the other was intent on populating the world as quickly as possible and brought more women than men. Soon the military group was trying to capture the women for their own needs. After a brief war an agreement was reached but outlaw slave trading flourished.
Raiders, small groups of outlaws, would capture women from the estates of wealthy land owners. They would then sell the women to other wealthy estates.
Once a women was purchased, usually at an auction, the owner would take steps to ensure she didn`t easily disappear. The new slave would be given clothes of the owner`s choice, collared and likely cuffed with chains. Often they would be placed in a locked cell with other slaves. To help ensure her behaviour the new owner would often use mild discipline such as spanking or a light whip.
Modern Praxton reflects its not so civilized past. Women still wear collars that identify there male guardian. However the collars are more cosmetic in nature and can be very decorative. Females also wear cuffs with chains attached but wear them as jewellery. Though the collar and cuffs are always locked, most women carry a spare key to remove them in case they need to remove them for washing or changing clothes.
More on Praxton customs later, but I would like to announce Praxton, Book One is now available at Midnight Showcase http://www.midnightshowcase.com/midnight/PraxtonBook1.htm

New story, Praxton

I am looking forward to the release of Praxton, Slaves of the Rogue World at the beginning of September. I had a lot of fun writing the story, so much so there are sequels in the works. I have had a few compliments on the story from the editors, and I suspect more than a few of my readers will enjoy reading it.
Praxton takes place in the far future. “Slaves of the Rogue World” is perhaps a bit misleading. In my story the Alliance Worlds believe the women on Praxton are indeed slaves and need to be set free. Their beliefs at first look as if they are slaves. All females (although they outnumber the males by a considerable margin) wear collars to show who their male guardians are. The females also often wear cuffs with chains, wear little clothing and are submissive to the men. Despite this the females are free to choose their guardian.
Praxton is a male dominate society and females are submissive to them, dressing and acting to please them. The guardians also hand out discipline to help maintain order in the household where there can be several females living with a single male guardian.
Of course the Alliance Worlds have trouble believing that the females on Praxton are content and want to save them. The minor problem is the women of Praxton don’t want to be rescued. Thus we have a conflict between the Alliance Worlds and Praxton, and the fun begins!
So in the next few blogs I want to go over what it is like to live on Praxton, especially from the females point of view.
