Thanks for posting this link, Eraser. Laura is my favorite bdsm author as well and awhile back I had actually considered making an all new thread for discussion of this lecture. I have loved it ever since I read it a year or so ago. I'd encourage everyone to visit the link and read the whole thing. Oh, and then go out and buy the whole Marketplace series, and read those too. Antoniou's work does an amazing job of presenting honest, insightful, and poignant thoughts on the scene in general. Even though the work is fiction, I still think everyone, doms/subs/whoever, can learn a good bit about integrity from reading her work.
