The terms "natural" and "true" are pet peeves of mine. You can naturally have a dominant or submissive personality, but being A submissive or dominant is learned. one of this slave's pet peeves is also the "true" label when applied to Dom/mes or sub/slaves, unless of course we are talking about a role in a theater production or a movie, but that's "acting". however, "natural" is something that this slave does not find offensive or self-inflating. you say you have a "natural" ability when it comes to riding horses, but in order to call yourself an equestrian you took lessons from someone and learned valuable skills. this slave believes it is also possible to have a "naturally" submissive personality, and as sub suzanne described very aptly: quote:
I have been a service oriented submissive person in all of my interests, friendships, vocations and relationships my whole life. this slave agrees with her in that she too, has "naturally" gravitated and felt most comfortable, productive and at peace when in a position of service. it mattered not if it was a friendship, relationship, donating skills or time, being paid a wage for it, or a personal interest. the taking of lessons from someone and learning valuable skills came at the hands of everyone served. the specific skills this slave needed to learn in order to be Master's slave have come at His hand, however. though this slave has been what she considers to be "naturally" submissive all of her life, she couldn't be Master's slave without His training, and she is most grateful for it! disclaimer: this slave has read several replies to posts regarding the insistance that one must learn to be a submissive and and also the exclusivity with which some are submissive (as in only in their relationship with their Dom/me), and this slave is not saying that it is not something that some folks indeed MUST learn in order to experience it firsthand. however that has not been this slave's personal experience, which is where her opinions come from.[:)]
