You are the one person out of many individuals that I choose to bow down to. Of course my submission is a gift. Otherwise I will take it elsewhere.

HarryVanWinkle.... you do have to be there to have your place. Free will is a wonderful thing... but to say.... Her Will.

You choose to say it.

and it gives me shivers of pleasure to do so. well, it will.

YEAH.

meh. How to say this... When a submissive bows to me, I view that as a gift of trust. They are trusting me enough to know whats right for them and they expect me to honor that and do what's best for them. I view that as a gift. Something to be treasured.

Or it could be the helpless romantic in me. One way or another...

I was in here checking out a certain person's posts, and decided to respond to this thread. I have noticed within our community there is often a trend toward labels. Gifts and tributes are troublesome terms. Is it a gift when a Top demands a couple of hundred dollars for an hour of lame bondage? Is it a gift when a sub does not bring all of himself, his power, intellect, all of it, to the relationship?
To me, it's more an investment then a gift. I am investing in the relationship, and hope to get an equal investment in return. Personally, I would much rather submit to a person who wants all I have, and brings all they have, then the most experienced, has own own dungeon, so called "Pro-Domme" in the world.
THAT person will deserve "gifts".

I think that you hit it Taggerung. Trust is a big deal for me. I have had a few really bad experiences in the past. There really is no way to earn that with me. I have to decide to throw caution to the wind and take that really big step. Trust is a gift because I cannot (and do not) reasonably expect something in return.

As for a 'gift' of submission... Come On!.. We call it Power Exchange for a reason!
