What he helped me see is that eventually you submit out of fear, fear of punishment but you really aren't submitting if you are doing it just to avoid being punished for something. that is what i mean the whole time. Now I am curious why people want it..and how they learn to trust eachother. For real "run away!" sort of fear? The submissive doesn't develop trust, as that kind of fear requires unpredictability and feeling threatened. People may seek it out for the same reason people watch horror movies, go on roller coasters, bungee jump, etc. That sort of fear provides an endorphin high that can become addictive. For the "healthy" sort of fear? The submissive does develop trust because the person is predictable and though the submissive feels weak/small/overwhelmed, she does not feel like she is in danger. Some of them like the feeling of being overwhelmed, some like the feeling of safety from the world by their association with power, and some like knowing that their will be repercussions for their misbehavior (there are probably other reasons as well).
