To submit is a verb, an active thing. Submission is a noun, the name of a concept, nouns personify. You are a submissive, it one of the main things that defines you as an individual. I believe Submission is threefold. You are a submissive firstly, it is what you are, its identifies you as much as saying that you are am American, or that you are an Asian. Secondly you “feel” submissive, this is different from being a submissive. Different individuals experience different emotions and desires. So apart from submission being a defining aspect of your nature, one that is fundamental, derived from both genetic and environmental factors, it also a complex emotion. The emotive aspect of submission contains elements of the baser emotions, fear, lust, love ( at times ), desire to please. Thirdly there is there is the active part, you make a conscious decision to submit and you do it willingly if at times fearfully. So a Submissive is a person male or female who because of genetic and environmental factors is predisposed to having strong emotive urges to serve, to please and to submit most times but not exclusively to a Dominant individual. One that willingly ( for the most part ) submits to another in an active ( though not necessarily physical ) way. It must be noted though that human beings are creatures of choice, a submissive may freely or subconsciously choose to suppress their natural desires or to accept them but not act upon them.

What are your views on my observations on submission, these are my personal views and may terefore conflict with what is generally accepted. I would be very interested to hear the views of a submissive on my thoughts of submission as a Dominant.
