I am going to throw my two cents in as well..and of course everything said is my opinion, and not meant to offend anyone...

Sexual intercourse is never a part of my play with any of my submissives, male or female...and the only one that is serviced sexually is me. That is not to say that I do not allow them to have sexual pleasure from time to time, it just is rare, a reward for something stupendous, and usually comes from forced masturbation or another sub....As a sadist, I get nothing from performing sexual acts on my submissives....I leave that work to themselves or others.....Now that does not mean that my submissives do not get sexually arosed or do not have orgasms.....the subs I usually play with are able to get that sexual pleasure through their service to me and also through their beatings/pain.....but if they do not, and have asked to be my property, then it makes no difference to me whether they are sexually fulfilled or not.....

as for love....I never fall in love with my submissives....I honestly believe that it can cloud ones judgement where Dominance is concerned.....now I am not saying that it cant be done, but it certainly isnt for me....there is a large amount of trust and respect though.....and through those I believe there is a form of love...just not romantic love.....

One of the things I enjoy the most about the entire BDSM realm is that we all have and form our own definitions and concepts....
