For those of us that are submissive...I think that those that are not in tune with this lifestyle it would appear that we might be weak. Weak is no where in my vocabulary of how I would describe myself. I personally have experienced situations that I have survived and came out the other side stronger than I could have imagined. I like the control in my work life... but want to be relieved of that in my personal life. I give that to my partner... willingly and with trust. This is in no way my release of my own power. Ultimately my power is precious and should be recognized and respected. Everything I give to my partner to control... is still under my power. To be a good submissive I believe you have to cherish and understand how powerful you are... to be a good Dom you have to recognize this and help your Sub embrace and grow their power.
