She gets by giving. Ask her though, and I have no doubt she'd tell you I was attentive to her needs and very attuned to her.

Yes. The semantics are indeed subtle.
Is is subtle, though I'm not sure it's a subtle "difference" so much as a slightly different way of saying the same thing? I agree wholeheartedly that giving pleasure is the most complete way to get pleasure. There is obviously (for a sub) great satisfaction in the doing, the serving of the Dom. Whether it be something sexual, or simply making Master dinner and bringing it to him and watching him enjoy it, I find deep fufilment in doing for him.

For this to be as satisfying as it can be, however, I feel that the both of us are responsible to be "attentive and attuned" to the other.

Thoughts? (I love the semantic back and forth, btw, as a relative newbie it forces me into considering all I think and say from completely new angles and perspectives.)
