Oh yeah, i 100% agree, which is why i said when he asks me to be quiet whilst he does something or for a specific thing, i make every effort to do so and usually succeed...but whether i could be quiet for numerous strokes of the cane, i literally don't know.

Oooh, yikes, i don't agree with that! Probably because i don't switch. Fear of retribution isn't trust. i don't trust my Dom because he knows we'll switch in the next scene and i could whip shit out of him, i trust him because i trust him, full stop. Although perhaps you meant that a bit tongue in cheek. *grins*

Eh? *confused* What about love? Crossed wires here, i think, when i said remove power, i meant MINE, not power exchange from the whole situation. You're right, unfairness wouldn't work without an imbalance of power, but the list was about my pleasures and not his.
