Damaged Goods

[numenor]

I'm waiting for Master to come online, and so I've come back to good old BDSM library to amuse myself while I wait.

Something a friend said to me the other day got me thinking...
Are all Subs damaged goods?

Since BDSM is considered to many to be out of the "norm", is their something that makes us sub girls (and guys) abnormal...

And further more... is it wierd that I quite like the idea of being damaged goods... I'm falling far too quickly for my new Master, and the thing I like about Him the most is that He is considerate to my flaws and limits, using them as a basis to work on. Without the things that make me damaged, we would really just be two people fucking rough, but it's in the way He handles my flaws that shows He really cares...

I do not think that your definition leaves any room for someone to not be "damaged", everyone has flaws and limits. I guess it all depends on how you define "normal".

So what do you think? Can a submissive truely be submissive without being a little bit damaged to begin with?

What I think - I think that everyone has damage, so in short no. A more in-depth answer would be that i don't think that it is a requirement that a sub be non-normal either... since I believe everyone has "damage".
