ElanSubdued -> RE: Do you thank your sub? (3/30/2008 11:54:03 AM)

I can speak from both sides of the fence here. When I was a dominant, I thanked my submissives, always. Sometimes this was for nice things they did for me, but often this was just for being caring, loving partners and for being people who I respected. As a submissive myself, I certainly appreciate receiving thanks from my partner, whether this be verbally or just a physical caress. I don't always expect thanks for the things I do, but if I never hear any words of encouragement, praise, or affection, it can feel a little cold and I'll admit, I'm less motivated. Physical or verbal gestures of thanks are a wonderful motivator and they are also a lovely way to tell someone "I love you" or "I appreciate you". In my opinion, courtesy and politeness are attributes that wear well on all people, and they certainly help keep the gears of romance in a relationship well oiled and running smoothly. Elan.
