But when I began to be sexually aware, I didn't fantasize about dominating others, as I do in the rest of my life. I fantasized about being dominated.
As I became sexually active, I kind of did the same thing. I always dated really vanilla people, but I would try to sort of nudge them into tying my up or otherwise "holding the reigns." It didn't usually work. I found myself "topping from the bottom."
And then I met my Master.
He had some experience with BDSM, both as a Dom and a sub, but tended strongly on the Dom side. I picked up on it the first night we were together, and from there out, it just fell into place. It seemed so natural and so instant. Click.
Most people would think it strange that someone like me, someone so dominant and independent and devoted to my unfettered freedom, would be submissive. But it sort of makes sense to me. I am an all-or-nothing kind of person, and anyone who can earn ALL of my respect is entitled to everything I have to give. I trust him with everything, from my life to the inner sanctum of my mind. And in return, he guards that very carefully.
It's freeing to not have to be the strong pillar of mental/emotional stone that I am in most of my life. While I enjoy managing things and am good at wielding that sort of power, it is even more satisfying to be able to let it go.
