Stop saying that! Please? We all have our fucked up issues. Just because we do have such issues doesn't mean we have to label ourselves in this manner. Yes, this includes you, sweetie. ~hugs~

Excellently stated! Thank you for presenting it like this.

I was going to say this to Wedjat, but now I'll just highlight Oz's words...save a few ketstrokes and still express myself. Thanks, Oz.

Thanks again, Oz. Wise, wise words.

Now as to 'barely' submissive, I would contend that some feel just a little submissive until they meet the right dominant. When you get chemistry, sparks fly and your submission may well overwhelm you.
Likewise, a somewhat dominant personality may blossom into a full bored uber-dom (pardon the hyperbole) with the right submissive in his "clutches".
A perspective from which to learn. Thank you one more time, Oz. Gosh. been doing that quite a bit lately it seems.

I'm discovering, for myself at least, that it completely hinges on the matching of minds to make this D/s type relationship work. Some submissives crave the strict Dominant. Then there are others who appreciate the informal-ness certain Dominants prefer. Some Dominants need absolute subservience to find happiness, while others appreciate a different style of submission. It's when the two matches come together and strike into each other that blazes it all into the magic we all seek.

Brings a new perspective to "come on, baby, light my fire".
