Slave, Submissive, or Somewhere Inbetween

[dzire2pleeze]

I have never seen myself as a "slave" as defined by some. As a matter of fact the word itself conjures a feeling of rebellion in me. Using the word, "master" makes me feel like i just popped out of a bottle. I am comfortable with the word, "submissive" because that is what I am by nature. (Although i rarely show that side of myself in real life. I am controlling, opinionated, outspoken, etc).

However, I have been told that I am a submissive with slave tendencies. Obviously, i have no idea what i am. But as words go I like the sounds of "submissive" and "Sir" much more than "slave" and "Master."

Bottom line for me is i do not like being labeled, period. And the word "sub" just absolutely grates on my nerves as it has a completely different connotation than "submissive."

After all this rambling, I have forgotten what the original question was? Oh, okay. I guess i answered the question. Although, why is it that "submissives" do not get privileges? I want privileges and don't mind earning them. Okay, now i'm really confused.
