Respect for your sub/slave

[jeanne]

...and much too few people have any self-respect.

That's absolutely true. I couldn't submit without a healthy self-respect - else what we do would be damaging to me mentally and emotionally. Instead, it elevates me. Perhaps a lack of self-respect is part of the reason why I was unable to accept my submissive nature for so many years...hmmm. I just learned something.
