ORIGINAL: Lordandmaster Fear can be an aphrodisiac, but it doesn't work well in a long-term relationship. If you fear someone, there's a limit to what ELSE you can feel for that person. What an interesting perspective that I had not considered before. To the OP, I think there is healthy fear and there is unhealthy fear. I tend to feel intimidated by my Master sometimes, and always in awe of him. I might fear what he will do to me in a given circumstance, but fearing the man himself is not something either of us considers healthy. Having said that, when he gets angry, wow he can really get angry. There was a time, about a year ago, when he lashed out at me (verbally) in anger and I completely cowered. He didn't threaten me, nor did he say anything harmful to me that I can recall, but his whole demeanor scared me (then again I have had traumas to recover from, having to do with yelling in anger). I found myself totally afraid of him. In retrospect, I realized it wasn't him I was actually afraid of, it was that a trauma trigger had been pulled. But at the time I did not know that yet. I completely shut down and withdrew into myself. A few days later as he was trying to guage what was wrong, I told him I was afraid of him. This caused him great concern, as he does not want his slave to fear him, and he worked with me on correcting that perspective right away. I do not consider fearing ones Master, Dominant, Owner, Top, Partner, whatever, to be a good thing. I lived in fear of my ex husband for years. Fear can be all consuming and walking on egg shells is never fun.
