*bites the bullet and opens her mouth* I must say I do not tend to post on the forums, but I must agree with both the Godfather and my Master on this issue.
I do not look in the mirror and see Angelina Jolie, but I look in the mirror and am happy, pleased and confident enough with myself that I can forget myself and give myself, my pleasure and mind over to my Master. After all, how fulfilling would a session be with my Master if I was tied up and yet all I could think of was "I hope he doesn't think my thighs look fat in this hogtie - or I hope my belly is firm enough" - it is not a point of asking someone to "look" like a super model, just that they can look in the mirror and "feel" like one. If I was overly concerned with myself, then I could never let that go and truly, purely and blissfully enjoy, find sub-space and the pure unbridled ecstasy I am searching for in my Master’s touch. For as Godfather so eloquently stated, a wonderful Dom can nurture and boost my self esteem, but he cannot create it from thin air.
Perfection should NEVER be asked for in another…not from a Dom, or from a regular Vanilla lover – but confidence, poise, intelligence and grace is a trait any lover should expect the other to possess. I believe that is what Godfather was pointing to. At least, that is how I took it. However, it is nice to know that the no matter how vile, idiotic, moronic, fat or hairy a sub may be – she has hope with some of the Dom’s here who swear they only care about her true, hidden nature. It’s sweet, really. And I’m not being catty, honestly – I am just turning that mirror back on those who have stated such here at the forum. For I find myself wondering If these Dom’s were given a choice between two such subs, which one would they really, truly chose?
Happy thinking all – I know this post has really got my mind working. You know what they say – thinking = learning which breeds tolerance and acceptance. So bravo, Godfather. I think you are doing more good here than you even realize.
