Question about "true" submissivness

[annie]

I am sorry... but as a sub I still maintain my own personal views and there will be times that I will feel it necessary to voice those opinions openly and publicly, even if they are in direct opposition of what my Dominate(s) might feel about the subject. From my perspective how am i being true to my beliefs if, when the occasion arises that I feel passionately about them, i refrain mainly for the sake of the Dominate(s) appearance?

And more importantly what does that say about that Dominate(s) that they would expect or even require that?

And... let's flip that coin...

McG you said...

That said, the sub must support her Dom and certainly not do anything that would work against him. This may mean that a sub has to publicly change her political or religious allegiances.

So... why does it have to be the sub that must support the Dom? What if i am 100 times more passionate about a subject then the Dom is, yet his point of view is different, why must he not support my point of view? I mean after all... I may be sub to him but he has (hopefully) promised to support and help care for me. Would that support not include supporting my beliefs as well?

Bottom line there is a middle ground on this, a give and take, just as there is in a vanilla marriage. i don't agree with my husband's take on a few political issues but i choose carefully when to fight that battle and when to let it rest. Just as he does. Just as we do with most anyone we meet unless it is a true solid passion.

And honestly... I would hope that if there is a relationship, be it vanilla or D/s, that the couple has some mutual ground on their political views. Otherwise, are you really THAT compatible? Not only on political views but for things in general.

And that all being said...

The point, i believe, is what makes a sub a "true" sub? If she will take her Dominate(s) point of view? If she can hold 8 positions each for hours on end if need be? If she can fuck the entire Washington Redskins team at the instruction of her Dom? Seriously... "true" is a definition that is as broad and defined as there are people so for someone to judge that I may not be a "true" sub because I won't take someone else's view point I can as easily assume they aren't a "true" dominate for expecting me not to be "true" to myself. Although most dominates would want the "true" me and all of my "true" character.....at least i would "truly" hope they would.
