MG,

I also really enjoyed reading your post. I'm curious as to what prompted you to write it?

I agree wholeheartedly with your view of D/s relationships being more intense, "and therefore it can touch emotions and sensitive issues more than a non D/s relationship does. The highs can be higher, and the lows can be much lower."

I have always felt this way- that a D/s relationship involves so many more levels of intricacies of emotion. Subspace, for me, is a reflection of that- the physical sensations bring me to that point of a transcendental meshing of spiritual and bodily feelings. The pain itself, mixed with the utmost control given to the Dominant, takes me to a plane higher than I think I could ever reach in a vanilla relationship, no matter how intense.

I was especially happy to read your words because they come from a Dom.
Actually, i didn't initially pay attention to your status as "Master to my slave", and only towards the end of the post when you mention Cleo as your slave, did I realize I was reading the thoughts of a Dom, which gave me renewed faith in Dominantkind, so to speak.

Although I've been lucky to serve great Doms and Dommes in the past, none of them have ever been so verbal on their thoughts and I really appreciated reading ideas from a Dom that are so similar to mine as a sub.

Thanks!
