Well first let me start off by saying i have heard from most Dom/mes that You all do not like "door-mat" subs/slaves well here is my question.....

Is the feeling of power/pride/domination/(insert feeling here) much more strong when You see Your sub with everyone else and s/he is so strong and in control but then with You s/he submits to You in which ever way You prefer? Or does it not matter how exact opposite Your sub is in everyday life?

i got the idea for this thread when reading the "What is running through Your mind" thread so thanks to those who created and posted there.. hehe
