i have, throughout the course of my time with D/s, been asked all manner of interesting questions about it. Some of them are intelligent, others are facetious but i'm going to list some of them here, for Y/your reading. They're not in any particular order, and i would urge Y/you to seek more "credible" references if Y/you want something more authentic; most of what's here are my opinions and don't necessarily accurately reflect those O/others like myself also in the Lifestyle.
If Y/you have no idea what any of this is telling Y/you, read this first.
No, it isn't. In fact, i know several strong-willed submissives. The point, is that just because one chooses or more importantly, knows they're submissive doesn't mean they're doormats for E/everyone else's pleasure. Being submissive goes beyond simple loss of control - and it is by no means a catatonic state, as S/some [1] have said to me before now.
If anything, it takes more strength being submissive than it does being Dominant. The submissive has to relinquish over themselves emotional states for Another to handle; that is no easy task, let me tell Y/you.
[1] i don't see how a Dominant can claim this since They won't have the insight, in my opinion into the whole affair, but i'll take Their word for it, of course [2].
[2] Yes, that's an example of me showing Respect. :)
Well, broomstick (you know who you are!), let me tell you that firstly, it's you're when referring to a submissive, and secondly, whilst i might be a freak that is a separate issue to my being submissive.
On a more serious note, this is a Lifestyle choice -- i choose this way of life because it suits me; yes, that's selfish, but then that's how life works.
i could find something equally as "odd" in Y/your life and point it out, but what difference would that make to Y/you? It's Y/your choice, as it is mine, to do as i like for the things which please me.
Nope, not at all. Yes, in certain circumstance it's a lot of fun, but it's not a state i could be in 24/7. But hey, E/everyone likes some kink, don't T/they? Those of you in the Vanilla lifestyle might equate more to this.
How high should i jump for Y/you, then? No! Of course i won't. i am not a doormat; i am not a mindless idiot either. i have to choose to make a decision just like A/anyone else would. Being submissive does not mean "open for A/all to use"; and i defy A/anyone who thinks that's true.
See above. Were Y/you not paying attention? No means no -- especially coming from a submissive. Sorry, but i'm not the droid Y/you're looking for.
