I was thinking about this some more, and would like to clarify my answers.

If I was in a relationship with a Dominant man, and after we were committed to each other and had been together for some time.... and there was a reason why we couldn't participate in D/s activities in or outside the bedroom (health issues, etc.), then yes I would give it up absolutely. Commitment supercedes sexual desires when faced with circumstances beyond our control.

But right now, as a single girl, without a ring on my finger or a collar around my neck.... no way would I give up my submission.

I am not sure if I ever truly could be happy. Certainly not if I had expressed my desires, and was told to shelve them. I think after a time it would breed resentment, and the relationship would be doomed from the outset.
