You've made me ashamed in my use of the term "scorn"... ah, sorry! BUT i felt a kinship as soon as i started reading your post. that said, there are a lot of different opinions around here about whether you should look for having your hard edges softened by someone. some say it's unfair to expect that, or that you are not entitled to expectations because you propose to be a sub. others say, "just be careful of making your expectations too high or unreasonable, as though this is some altered universe." and there are good and reasonable intentions behind all of that advice. still, your journey is your own and only you can know which pieces are missing from your puzzle. to come to this knowing yourself so well that you know there are places inside that you can't reach by yourself... i call that quality introspection and good material to bring to the BDSM work table, so long as you are also bringing gifts on offer. laying yourself bare, the strong parts and the soggy parts, is the beginning of yielding from within and thus the beginning of true submission to something greater than yourself. that "something greater" is formalized in a D/s relationships, but its still love or whatever you want to call it. it's not localized in the man; he is in the service of that same great thing, and to want to be a part of it with him is not weakness to admit or ask for, as long as what you ask for is a counterpoint to what you have to give. i would advise you, in your journey, to stay on the forums. it gets rambunctious here but it will keep you sane! :) Please don't be sorry... I needed to hear what you said.... and by soft I don't mean a mush ball, just a little less defensive.
