Yes, I agree wholeheartedly myself. I have come to accept and understand that, being made the way I am, it is uncomfortably unnatural to exercise the dominance necessary to survive in this world, and with that, I do suffer from...

But with my story (about which I posted here a few months ago), I came to believe- and still have not let go of the belief- that it is possible. That there is a "Master Charming"- because my master was... in my eyes... so that is still whom I hope to find. BUT, in the meanwhile, I know I obviously have to take care of things myself. I just hate it.

With this statement, I agree as well. At times, it is confusing though- as sometimes doms (and even other subs) have the attitude that a submissive or slave should be grateful for anything/ anyone, that we should have no standards. I find that infuriating because I _will_ not submit to any man I deem unworthy. And no one should settle...

I can be quite guilty of this myself, paradoxical to a slave's soul as it seems. But most submissives want attention, want reassurance and love. I heard one submissive say we're "attention whores"- well, I know I am... so sometimes it's hard when your master/ mistress has to tend to other matters.. especially when the relationship is LD...

Thanks for posting this, BrookLynn. Interesting read. :)

BrookLynn,

In my opinion nothing applies to everyone, so although this may be right for some, or even most, it is not right for all.

This seems to be a hash of personal opinion, and, although interesting, cannot be considered to be definitive or even informative.

This is an absolute truth
for the person who wrote it.
It definitely has some good points but I personally dont think it holds any absolute truth. I am no sub so I can ofcourse not be completely sure and I can say that my experience with many(2) isnt that extensive to speak with that much athority either.
You (when submissive) or any other sub will have to feel for yourself if all or some of it holds true to you.

edit: bah. I ended up writing what Rhabbi wrote although it was in other words.

Logic, It may be the same thing, but the different perspective might be what a person needs to here. The way I talk is sometimes a bit stuffy, and can come across as arrogant, so feel free to resay my ideas if you think it helps.

lol yeah but the thing was that I didnt even read your post until after I had written mine. That is why I wrote that "bah" line.
I dont mind writing what you write though. I find your comments and thougths matching mine quite often.
thanx though :)

I agree that it can be that way but I recommend that you and your Dom/Master sit and discuss what each other needs and wants are, try my hard limits questionaire in the Knowledge area here.

If you and the Dom have a lot of similar likes and wants then it is time to discuss a contract with hard limits spelled for both of you.

Now you have a Life plan tailored for the 2 of you.

That checklist sure is interresting.
saw it a couple of years back but forgot all about it until like a week ago when that checklist thread popped into view here in the forums.
Gonna ask my next gf/sub to fill it out if I find that she has a dirty mind like me.
What I did notice though was that mine had changed from the first one I filled out a few years back. That was an interresting revelation.

Logic1 , it means your kink and limits have changed and that you have grown in the lifestyle..

I know that statement of the original poster would not fit many that i know..
i agree it must be more individually attuned...

well thank you all for sharing and I will look at the checklist.

[QUOTE=Wolfscout;403838]Logic1 , it means your kink and limits have changed and that you have grown in the lifestyle..QUOTE]

Yes that is definitely true. I think we all change as we grow and gets familiar with this scene and what is availiable for us and what we try.
Definitely interresting. I had moved on some scales. Eliminated one and added some new kinks *chuckles*
lol I like that test :)
not an absolute truth but it is definitely a good test.

I've come across my share of this thinking and I might just like it less then you. For me, the submission is not about lowering yourself below others, but about raising your dom above you. I'm extremely strong-willed and absolutely will not give in to someone that I don't see something special in.

Just thought I'd share that thought since I saw the opportunity. Anyway, that's good base-test even if it isn't perfect.
