For me, it took a lot of thought and self analysis and much discussion with others in the lifestyle, particular one dominant who was extremely patient with me through my working through all that it meant to be a submissive, and just as important, what it did not mean. Yes, when I first learned of the lifestyle -- and I am referring to a power exchange relationship, not any kind of play or scene, which I did not get into until much later -- there was an overwhelming feeling of.....wow! After reading an article written by a submissive describing herself and feelings she had had for many years, I just kept thinking that somehow she had crawled inside my head. But as I was such an independent, in-charge, the one doing all the fixing of everything kind of person.......not to mention the initial conflict with my feelings as a feminist and all the things that growing up my friends and I completely ridiculed........I needed to sort through all of those conflicts and learn and also experience a little of the lifestyle before I fnally chose to call myself one freely. I never called myself a slave until Master accepted me as one. I initially even told him that although I believed that ultimately I would be happiest as a slave, to me it was not something I could just easily make a claim to until I had more experience, which is what I did. I am one though that would not call myself a slave unless I was owned though, and if single would call myself a submissive. Blessed be, harmony
