Blind Obedience?

[craven]

Thanks for throwing this one out there sexy lady, I know some of the background to your post so understand your thoughts and appreciate your motivation for highlighting these points.

I for one could not agree with a post more, everything you say apart from being accurate is simply common sense and to disagree would be illogical and impractical in anything other than theory.

There is no weakness in surrender, the words submit and surrender do perhaps in part perpetuate the myth that in doing so there is weakness.

However the act of handing ones power to another, which is in effect what the definition of surrender should be, represents the ultimate gift, this can only ever be offered by those strong enough and confident enough in themselves to do so.

In surrender, submission or whatever we term it there is only true and real strength, those that are less strong are not able to fully hand over their power, they have to or feel a need to hold part of themselves back.

True surrender takes true inner strength, and anyone who thinks differently, in my opinion anyway not fully appreciated the power exchange.

It is therefore also a given then that those strong enough to offer their power to another are not going to be the types of individual that would be blindly obedient, My Domma would never tell me to do anything that was illegal or dangerous, as she treasures me and cares for me, so to endanger me would not be in here interests however if she ever did then even though I have surrendered to her fully, I would question her instruction, we have an agreed way for me to do this and she would expect me to raise my concerns with her.

This does not make me disobedient or disrespectful, far from it, my Domma uses our combined power in both of our shared interests. This is why I feel safe and secure in handing my power over to her. I know she will use it for my benefit, and in the event that I am unsure or feel a need to question her use of it I am able to do so.

I would consider myself to have a strong and robust personality and I have submitted fully to my Domma but I am not blindly obedient nor would she wish me to be, I am her submissive, not doormat. The intricacies and subtleties of our power exchange entertain, amuse and are the oxygen that keep our relationship alive.

Blind obedience would I feel smother our dynamic and in truth be of no interest to either of us.
