High-maintenance = love and attention.
I guess it is a bit late to quibble about the definition here, but this thread is sorta my attempt to lavish some love, attention, and reassurance on my subs. They need it at times, and at times they feel they are a bit too much trouble. I want them to know that I consider them to be worth the trouble. After all, if they were not, I could be a bad Dom and simply go find one of those doormats.
