ORIGINAL: Unrepentant1 I find it somewhat confusing when I read that subs will only do what they want to, how can they call themselves a sub? To me submission is a gift and selfless act to someone you worship, love and adore. I would be amazed if anyone was a perfect match, but I guess it can happen. As long as something is not a hard limit, that the Domme clearly wants, the rest can be worked upon. I believe when you find the right one, your limits change anyway. Some years ago, I was watching one of those tabloid TV shows...it might have been the Maury Povich show...but anyway, they had a dom/sub couple on and they were explaining to the audience the difference between a submissive and a slave. Well, the explanation was that a submissive could say "no" or had the right to negotiate, but the slave did not. This seems like the consensus of opinion in my local community as well. I've seen the subject bounced around like a tennis ball on this site as well as other sites. I don't know of anyone who has the authority to set standard definitions for this community, but I am sure that everyone has their own opinion. Maybe we should check with Whackypedia? Oh, and as far as submission being a gift, you will most certainly be flamed at some point for that statement. Not by me, because I used to believe that to be true as well. But I have changed my mind, and now I feel that the Dom/Domme/sub/slave relationship is more akin to an equal exchange of power (that is, each member gives and receives pretty much equally, if that makes any sense).
