Just a Q to those who've committed themselves to 24/7 submission, be it as a sub or a slave. How did you know, or what told you, that such a life was the one for you? I've heard that common indicators are the overwhelming desire to serve, or to have every aspect of you controlled by that certain person, or to feel immense satisfaction from pleasing your partner even at the expense of your own pleasure/convenience. But yet, isn't it also true that it takes a great deal of time and effort to learn to put the other party's desires above yours? And also that 24/7 subs have their moments when they do not like what is going on, or wish that their M/D would dominate them in a 'fun' way instead of all the drudgery, etc?

So how do you know, if you are just going through a stage of learning, and that you would truly find happiness in 24/7? Or if, on the other hand, such a lifestyle isn't for you, and you would be happier as a 'scene submissive' or 'bottom' etc instead?
