See the similarity? No, unfortunately I do not see the similarity. Me surrendering control to my Dom is absolutely nothing like surrendering to God in the Old Testament. I appreciate that you may view D/s in that way, but I do not. |

Love the question TopekaDom, thanks for posting it.
And wow, some beautiful responses, a joy to read, lot's of resonating going on inside of me. To me, chasing or being chased is secondary to openness, vulnerability (bows to Bunnie). Which, i believe, is important to have on both sides of the slash. To me, knowing how and when to be open and vulnerable is a mark of maturity. i think it immature to wear ones heart on their sleeve for any and all, that it's an ongoing challenge of human relationship to know when, where and how much. I.e., i think it never ends, that openness and vulnerability is a practice. As i see it, Top, Dom is wired to chase, bottom, sub is wired to be pursued. i think what often thwarts, what i perceive as those natural drives, is a lack of balance of openness and vulnerability. i read apeepingmom's explanation: "I don't want to be conquered, I want to surrender," and add a resounding YES!!. i surrender to an open vulnerable expression of need. Need hidden behind force gets a wall from me too. |
