Being who I am is power. I am a very powerful person. I do not lose any of that power when I am owned. In fact, as I grow, I become MORE powerful.

This is why I do not use the term "power exchange" to define relationships in Ds. To me what occurs is "authority transfer."

I transfer all ultimate authority to a master. I still have my power, I simply do not decide how it is expressed.


Wow. i really like how you expressed that, EmeraldSlave. Do you mind if i use that quote from you to start a discussion on a different forum?? - i can tell you the forum privately if you want - i don't know if it's proper etiquette to mention different forums here??

ok, I am weighing in with my thoughts now….

"I agree that being submissive is an emotion and a need to give pleasure,
to serve and to give up your power."


This I do not agree with, as least as "submission" applies to me. It is definitely not an emotion, but much more than that. It is part of my make-up, part of my character, just part of who I am. Emotions come and go with your mood and so on, but my nature, the part of me that needs to submit, is always part of me.



I am a submissive. How I feel at any point in time has nothing to do with who I am. Feeling like a lazy fool does not make me any less a self employed strong willed and determined woman.
But my submission brings emotions so deep inside of me to the forefront that I am totally in awe sometimes at the depth of my emotions. I NEED to give pleasure, which takes many forms.

"I don't see submission as giving up power. Submission is a power that feeds
dominance just as dominance is a power that feeds submission. Each is the
fuel that causes the other to manifest. When one does not have the other, they
lay dormant.
Submission is no less powerful than dominance, but the common misconception
is to equate submission with weakness and that is wrong. Without submission,
there is no dominance occurring. They are equal and interdependant."

There is power in Submissives, yet no power in being Submissive.
The power is a well-greased gear, balanced and kept in working order submitting to the use that fit's its form. It only becomes an issue if not properly oiled or ends up rigged to function in a foreign environment.

Q



Very well put Q.

There must be an interdependence not a codependence.

Submission is extremely powerful unto itself. Don't believe it? Story to follow:

Now. If you circulate yourself from time to time, you will eventually run into other such examples of stunning submissive power. Believe me, everyone else in the room notices too, for we want most what we cannot have.....


I went to a party in N. IL years ago and into the atmosphere walked a Master and his slave. They are well known in the community but I did not know them or had I heard of them. EVERYONE in the room noticed. When I met Master I told Him about this couple and begged Him, please, I want everyone to notice You in the room. He said, they will notice, because of you.

Thank you Rommel
