For me, it depends on the situation. It is one thing during a scene to have a submissive begging you to "please stop...something", "don't stop...something", "please give me...whatever" and another thing entirely to have someone begging me to pay attention to them during a time when I am busy. When it happens outside of a scene, I first tend to look at what the submissive is asking me for. If it is time for example, I look at my own behavior to make sure that I have not been a neglectful partner recently. If I haven't been, then I remind her of the time I have spent with her recently and make it clear that constant clinginess/neediness are not traits I find attractive. If I have been neglectful, then I either apologize and spend some time with her then or I give her a definite time within the next 24 hours when I can spend time with her. As another example, if she is emotionally vulnerable and in need of some comfort, and regular signals haven't worked with me (for whatever reason...distraction, work, etc.), then I try to do what she needs right then, if possible. If not possible, then I do so as soon as it is possible. If I suspect that the emotional situation has been contrived or find that the reason she is upset is just not all that valid as being able to cause "emotional upset", then at the very least a serious discussion is called for. This is the way I would handle these two situations but there are so many differing types of situations in which someone could be considered as doing "begging". I think a big part of it is each person's perception of the situation...we all bring our own biases and notions and past experience to each situation. I guess...and I know this will sound strange because it is coming off the top of my head and I don't have a lot of time right now to sit and put it better...I can handle "begging of an adult nature and of legitimate cause" but not "begging due to emotional immaturity, self-esteem issues, or from a need to get what they want rather than what they need." (hope this part makes sense).
