ORIGINAL: Smythe Dominants, do you get pleasure from making your submissive do things they don't really want to do? My Master sure does, and for a couple of reasons. First, it makes him proud to see me overcome my own desires and preferences and do for him what I would not otherwise wish to do. He loves to see me work for him, and the more I do, the closer we become. Also, sometimes he has me do stuff I don't like simply because it amuses him. And when he is amused, I am thrilled. He has the best laugh and the greatest smile - it lights up my world. So even if I'm agonizing, I'm usually laughing right along with him because he is so delighted. For us it just strengthens the bond. It's not something that happens with great regularity, but it happens when he wants it to happen, and I generally feel good about myself afterwards for overcoming myself to please him. Then again, I'm one that needs a challenge, and this is one of the ways he finds pleasure in developing me. ownedgirlie, you and some others have really helped me think about this question in a new way. Ds can be such a beautiful dynamic. In your situation, your master likes to make you do things that are hard for you, or that you don't like, but you still get pleasure from doing them. If you were always asked to only do things you liked, maybe you wouldn't be as challenged, or feel such satisfaction in serving. My example of ordering gross stuff for my ex-sub was just a silly example. As you might imagine, it was more of a humorous situation. In general though, I prefer a situation where both parties are clearly getting what they want. But what you have explained is that this is not always as simple as it appears. Smythe
