No offense to anyone who disagrees but personally the idea that you could not or should not love your submissive is broken to me. When i follow that out logically that means that to be in the bdsm lifestyle I would not experience love. How could I then say that this lifestyle is best for me, more fulfilling than a vanilla one if it's only appropriate to feel love in a vanilla lifestyle?

Maybe the person who wrote this article just doesn't experience love? Or possibly isn't that experienced.

I couldn't imagine not feeling close to subs for all of the reasons that have been mentioned before me.
