Hello Hemloc

The question is wither you love the person you respect, or fear them. I personally prefer a combination of both. I am a perfectionist, the idea of failure, in and of itself, is the worst punishment that can be given to me. Disappointing my Dom, disappointing myself,……. It makes me shudder even to think about it.

That being said, a D/s relationship with out it, without love, I believe is a hollow shadow of what it truly meant to be. Love and respect should go and in hand. That is what makes it complete and whole.

Discipline tinged with love, submission tinged with fear……

Training for training purposes is one thing, but a true relationship is another.

So the question becomes…, do you want a trained animal or a loving submissive??
