is it possible that subs aren't afraid to look like they don't know and that there is a certain amount of ego that comes with dominant territory regardless of it being deservedly there? That people who are given so much power to hold someones life in their hands don't want to seem afraid or unsure of that responsibility? My Master always tells me that I am the one with the power as I get to be the one who says "stop" and he has to listen to that. I am not always so sure of that as when I am blindfolded strung up and gagged, just holding a bandana for protection my life is turned over to him to do with as he wishes right???
I agree that growth needs to occur on both sub and dom/domme but I wonder if just acknowledging being anything less than perfect makes it seem less like we should as subs give them that?
