I find this thread to be fascinating. This is a question I have often wondered about myself. Thank you to everyone for voicing your opinions and experiences. FWIW, those of us that are neophytes learn a lot from reading these responses, even when we don't join the discussion.
I love this HottieMama, you summed up very nicely the way I am
Nobody should make you feel as if the person you are is incapable of having independent thoughts and feelings.
In my-admittedly novice-opinion, any relationship (BDSM or otherwise) should be based on trust and respect. People are going to disagree. And you should not be afraid to express your opinions or beliefs, even if they differ from your partner's.
Of course, said disagreement should probably not come with a tantrum, throwing things, or screaming.
