Godard was a former long-time friend of Bashara’s, who Bob had introduced to the BDSM lifestyle.

Godard replied in questioning that in the lifestyle people are submissive people and others considered dominant, which he also referred to as slaves and masters.

Lindsey asked if Bob had several slaves, to which Godard said yes.
