It's the greatest gift from my perspective for a sub to be willing to trust and submit. And I think about the contrast between strength and vulnerability for a Dom in this situation. Service oriented submissives are geared to want to care of their Dominants and that always entails some vulnerability to let that happen and someone to sacrifice for you and focus on you. Just like there is great strength in submission, there is great vulnerability in this control because it is so achingly clear there are real limits to it.<br /><br />The flavors or submission and Dominance are fascinating to me. Thanks so much for this post Christine.Michelle Polarishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03717774498289472190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8024713165941894494.post-24075833933162867362010-11-03T19:02:35.069-04:002010-11-03T19:02:35.069-04:00Great post Christine.

I think besides strength in giving up control, there needs to be a lot of trust.Kathy Kulighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17061095905421177808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8024713165941894494.post-67997177759830405812010-11-03T16:46:40.717-04:002010-11-03T16:46:40.717-04:00Clarification - I bet the Doms don't like bein...Clarification - I bet the Doms don't like being dependent on anyone.

Subs are definitely the ones in control because if they don't submit, there's no submission. Also, if the dominant controls without the subs permission (explicit or tacit), you have abuse and not a D/s relationship. Both sides of the relationship are interdependent, although I'd bet most Doms don't like that part.

I agree, there's so many levels of submission, and it also can mean different things to different people.Shoshanna Evershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10172269305910566840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8024713165941894494.post-48823502796612827252010-11-03T08:52:10.140-04:002010-11-03T08:52:10.140-04:00You know my firmly pro-sub stance, and there's...You know my firmly pro-sub stance, and there's one D/s cliche that I think is absolutely true - a lot of submissives are people who are very "strong" or have a lot of responsibility in other areas of their life. They're ceding control because it's a needed respite from decision-making. And of course because the whips and chains are fun!Delphine Drydenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05404686237412306195noreply@blogger.com
