Thank You so much for these responses, kind Sirs. Please add to it as You see fit.
Please allow me to ask about this in another way.

Is there a 'mindset' that is/may be particular to a submissive? How is that cultivated/learned/taught by the Dominant?
I guess I am wondering about the type of things a Dominant will build 'into' a new sub.
I realise that each Dom(me) is different so the answers might be varied. Im just wondering about some basic thoughts.
