An excellent thread lily, I've been planning on starting something similar- kind of 'what does submission mean to you?' was as far as I got.

Well I was in some way a submissive for most of my life, from when I was a kid right up til around my early 40s.

I gradually lost interest, & began to feel the need to be in charge. I'm still as I said last year, very much a 'babe in the dominant woods' & trying to get my head around things- to do it my way & not someone else's.

I don't really know why I wanted to be tied up & teased by an attractive young lady. I'm sitting here trying to put it into words....

It's empowering I think, to give yourself to someone you trust. To be helpless at someone's mercy after spending the day 'in charge' is relaxing to the point of being meditative.

From the point of view of being the 'D' in the D/s I like to think I can give my girl something to take away. Some sort of philosophy to take into everyday life.

Hmm, that's the best I can do for now- a good thread makes you think for sure!
