I am not going to read the other posts here because I think this one should be personal.

To me the submission of my slave shows a trust and love that brings me great pleasure. I know that some will think that I am speaking about the gratification of having my way, and, to be honest, that is part of it. But only a small part.

When I look back on my vanilla relationships, I see that I am looking for the same committment from them that I am from a slave. Not the ownership, but the trust and respect. A slave would never compare me to her exes, but nilla women do so wiothout thought. They do not understand that this disrespects both me and their ex.

The level of resepect that a slave must have to give herself to me is deeply gratifying and personal. She must know all of my foibles, fetishes, and be familiar with my dark side, yet trust me to keep that side in control. She must subjigate her worries to me and trust me to take care of them.

What does this do for me. To know that a woman knows everything about me, yet trusts me warms the cockles of my heart. It makes me want to protect her, care for her, and love her. I have learned to respect slaves more than I have ever learned to resect nilla women because slaves know themselves and respect themselves.
