I hope he knows what a great lady he has and I am sure he does.

What you describe The Tigress I call subbie disease since the best ones have it, even the ones here have all talk about it. Strangely enough a good Dom/me does a lot for their self esteem, building them up and finally most of us tell them that they are insulting us. If they are so unworthy what does that say about us as Dom/me, it is an insult that they think we would take anyone that inept.

Once you teach the sub to see themselves through our eyes and that we find them very worthy they grow like crazy

How wonderful that would be...
Do you think after many many years of low-(or no) self-esteem that it's possible to change with the help of a loving Dom?
....or is it too late?

to grow self esteem it is never too late. It is surely harder to accomplish but it is never too late.

This post made me smile. It's wonderful to see that there are people genuinely caring about other people, be it in the BDSM universe or the vanilla world. Really, really wonderful

I'm not currently in a relationship, but will take the freedom to talk about when I used to be with a dominant partner. Back then, his dominance did wonders to my self-esteem. I don't know exactly what it is, but I think what did it was the option to actually achieve what he had in mind for me. That I could be imperfect as I am, but still perfect for him. I think about 50% of why I'm into BDSM is to hear the "good girl" thing

In the long run I didn't only get more self-confident with him, but also in the world. More secure of who I am, what I am...and that I'm a unique, loveable person. Quite amazing what a bit of kink can do to your life

My Master definitely makes me feel better about myself. We both have had some self-esteem issues -- him worse than me, since he was a victim of sexual abuse as a child. Exploring our sexual fantasies together has helped us both to enjoy our bodies instead of feeling bad about them.

What makes me feel the happiest about myself is when he wants to take me out and show me off, especially when he has me wear my collar. The thought that someone so wonderful is proud to own me always makes me feel special and beautiful.

Sir_Russell - after Him, you are the Dom here that I respect the most. As a result, your words mean so much to me.
