What does it mean to you as sub or as Dom/me?
A Desert Rose said:Don't you also think, that a sub has a need or desire to express that part of her personality? And once she (again, I use she because I am one lol) is able to, she is free?
Well, anyway I think so. But I do know that I have lots to learn about being a good sub.

I agree with you Rose, it all boils down to good communication between a sub and her(yes I am one too) Dom. That is the basis of MY-Sir's and my relationship. We talk about our desires. In other words, we don't pull any punches when it involves what we want. To me, that is true freedom.![]()

~~~~~~~~~That has always been the hardest part for me- expressing what it is that I want. My last Dom was not the least bit concerned about what pleased me. It was all about being "HIS" how and whenever he wanted me.
Therefore, I don't know how to ask. But I know how to give.

A Desert Rose said:He never appreciated the gift of submission (which is a topic for another thread) and although I felt free to give him every part of me, I was never free to ask or express any of my concerns or desires.
So then, I really wasn't free, was I? HUMMMMM theres a thought I never had before now........

MissTaken said:There is also a certain freedom that goes with finding a context wherein you are free to be who you really are, as opposed to questioning submission, hiding your submission or being afraid of what some would call your "darker side."
Artful's dream said:Until I had the freedomto express MY wants and MY needs and desires as a sub I was truly a slave (in the worst way)
In my "vanilla'relationships only My partner was getting pleased...noone was really there to take care of ME ..even me,myself,,I was always so worried to make sure my husband or partner at the time,"got off" that it never really mattered if I did or not,well what a waste of my time!!
NOW i feel free to express my sexuality,be proud about it,discuss it and even become more educated about it..I FEEL FREE TO BE "ME' .the REAL me..not so and so's "wife" or jack-off Jim's piece of meat..ME!! DreamIS ME....I fee FREE being Artful's submissive slave..IRONIC,hey? He makes me feel loved,desired ad cared for more than i have EVER felt in my life..Freedom is being allowed to be "who you are,and accepted as such" I am accepted,I am loved,I am free~

the cravings,yearnings from within my very soul are all now bein fulfilled...I am a lucky woman..My Master freed me by binding my heart to His...![]()
Little Girl said:I have found that I enjoy giving, but I have trouble with the receiving, when I feel that my pleasure is in fact giving pleasure to the person I am with, only then can I let go and enjoy myself.
MissTaken said:
Yes. Yes. Yes.
Great observation and I wish I had thought to say that
It is true.
That I can't "loosen up" with anyone who doesn't gain pleasure from mine.

Little Girl said:
The problem I have found in my relationships is that my partners don't have the self control to not take advantage of my desire to give and usually end up taking advantage and becoming selfish. But through the exploration of D/s I have found the freedom to ask for what I need and want and I am at a point where I won't accept my desire to give being taken as a weakness and used against me anymore.... Sorry my 2 cents worth I suppose![]()

He knows I am a hand full at the very least and a total hurrican at the worst, but I feel certain he is capable of putting me in checkWhich is really what I want and need. A man who can dominate me and still respect me and as he says earn my respect and trust with everything he does...... Wish me luck on my new adventure
