ORIGINAL: LadyHibiscus Lockit you've brought up a memory, that sort of ties in. LOOK AT ME WHEN I AM TALKING TO YOU is a biggie with me. But so many subs get "trained" in that downcast eyes thing! Maddening. I found that people who always prefer the downcast eyes in a sub are actually pretty insecure themselves and they are more worried about the subbie seeing that in their eyes. I find the eye contact absolutely necessary, because they might think that they can take more, but eyes will tell you if they can't. I always thought that eye contact was sign of respect and honesty. People who can't look you in the eye either are nervous and are trying to hide something or are afraid of you. I'd think that respect and is better than fear, since willful submission beats forced one. Of course, eye contact can also be interpreted as a sign of confidence and some might be afraid that a sub is challenging Dom/me's authority. I think, LadyConstanze nailed it - those who can't handle eye contact from their subs are just insecure.
