Your willing, intelligent, graceful submission is a hell of a large gift. Don't just go throwing it at the head of someone who calls themself a "Master". Too many men assume that just because they have dangly bits and an opinion(and too many women just because they have sexy boots and an opinion) that they can be the master. His dominance is a gift he's giving you too. When you exchange the gifts, you need to be standing on equal footing. This means you protect your physical and mental and emotional self before you meet him, you take along a friend for that lunch date, you arrange a safe call for the first play session or you do it at a play party where you know the dungeon master/mistress and the other doms will step in if it goes wrong. Once you know he's safe, once you have your life and safety and health protected then, yes, then you can relax into submission. This isn't being bitchy, this isn't being a switch. This is being healthy about doing this. For that matter, the male dominants I socialize with do this too. They talk with the girl long enough online to see if inconsistencies in her story show up, they do a public lunch or dinner meet, they play at a play party the first couple of times, and they progress the relationship slowly and cautiously. Guys have some pretty valuable things to lose too; they're just less likely to wind up dead if it goes wrong than we are. Needless to say, if he isn't willing to go through the steps to make you feel comfortable that he is a safe play partner, at minimum? Don't play with him.
