ORIGINAL: Neala I just had the lovely opportunity of meeting Mr. Shrink and was curious if you boys and girls have ever run into that type before? <snippage> What, what, whhhhat?! Slaves have an opinion...slander! Okay..so...yes...have you lovelies run into this as well? I haven't had the, er, pleasure I guess. I'm baffled at the idea that people really expect a submissive to have no opinion, no self. What, are they searching for the Buddha? For me (YMMV, of course) effortless submission is no submission at all. While I sometimes do like to ride the tidal wave of feeling, the most intense areas of my relationship come from having strong opinions, likes and dislikes... and my Lady asking me to go places that require me to give over trust and control in those areas. I am not a puppet, or a blow-up doll. I have a mind, and feelings, and needs, and opinions. A relationship, whether it be friendship, love, sex, pain... all these involve my real mind, feelings, needs, and opinions, as well as those of the other person in the relationship. To expect otherwise tells me a person is not looking for a relationship, they just want a canvas on which to paint their own reflection. (Where did that soapbox come from?)
