"Does any of you else share these worry?

I could imagine some of you female submissives could have similar misgivings (that the urge to submit is perhaps an urge to ‘go back’ to being a repressed woman)…"
I know you've had a lot of good answers as you anticipated, but I thought I'd like to add this one: When I 'woke up' to my sub side it was literally, as in having dreamed about it. The dreams continued, and they were exciting like hell, also confusing as hell. I just could not grasp what all this had to do with ME! For all the usual political and mental reasons already mentioned elsewhere. it was like a complete schism between mind and - mind, I suppose. Soon after I had dom-dreams!
I speculated myself into a corner for over two years, without getting anywhere by that route.
Finally I just went and did it. And that solved the puzzle quite without any more speculation. I had tried abuse once, and that made me feel awful for months afterwards. I tried this, and it made me feel happy and liberated.
Things that make me feel good are not bad. And the person who makes me feel good is not bad. It is that simple.
It is another expression of love and or lust. Neither are bad.

I think it is good and neccesary to question yourself. But listen to your inner voice, your instinct, the most inner voice that tells you if you are doing right. And trust it.
