quote: ORIGINAL: fldrkhorse I've always found this "challenge" thing baffling. I read a profile that said "I'm a brat, can you handle me?" What's the point of creating tension and conflict where there is none? I used to think subs wanted to see if the DOMs power was creater than thier own? A buddy told me the "challenge" thing is for attention. Whatever it is, it creates an area of uncomfortableness for all involved. If the DOM doesn't react, then he's weak. If he does react, he's labeled psycho. No, there can be a very real thing about the "challenge". Many of us are very strong, self-sufficient people in our own right. We want to make sure that person that we submit to is actually a person capable of engendering that submission. Many people can call themselves Dom(me) and be really vanilla with kink or, in actuality, emotionally weaker than their submissive counterparts. I can get any of my employees to submit to my will (with or without bitching). The man I serve, by his very aura, compelled me to serve him. His intellegence, wit and humor was more than a match to my own. Without testing these areas, I am not sure I would have ever realized how submissive I actually am. And maybe I am only submissive to HIM. Who knows? This goes back to the expectation thread. I have no expectation nor desire to play endless games of tic tag. (it took me long enough to get out of elementary school). However creating conflict i.e bratty behavior, just for the sake of attention seems counter productive.
