You seem like the sort of person who can take it. :)

quote: ORIGINAL: Masterand9k <snip>... a true sub... That's where the problem lies. When someone starts with the "tw00" this or that, the eye rolling begins. What is tw00 to you may not be tw00 to someone else. I'm submissive only when in a relationship. I'm not submissive to the world in general.

It's cool I actually like being teased. Thats why I was being sarcastic when I said I was sorry for reading it wrong. After all if you don't laugh you just die faster, right, kid.

quote: ORIGINAL: Masterand9k ...a true sub became submissive by nature before they were 6. If it was 'by nature' then they must have been born submissive, rather than 'becoming' submissive. If it takes until the age of 6 to 'become' submissive, then it must have been caused by socialisation, but socialisation can always be undone, or altered by later socialisation or experiences, suggesting that anyone can 'become' submissive, at any age. Having read research of pathways into BDSM (Safe, Sane & Consensual, Langdridge & Barker, 2007) it is true that early conditioning can lead to a later interest in particular BDSM roles, but only in a percentage of people known as 'early identifiers'. Many others are led to an interest in BDSM through later experiences, introduction by partners or sexual experimentation. This is even more true in the internet age, where BDSM is commonplace and easy to read about and practice from the safety of one's own home. I personally believe that submission, like any other sexual or relational orientation, can be enjoyed by many people, at any age. I know people who have discovered they enjoy submitting in their 40s, 50s and 60s. There is also a strong crossover between people already in the scene. I mainly identified as a masochist until I was trained to be submissive, and likewise you have Dom/mes who later discover they can enjoy the submissive role too. quote: ORIGINAL: Masterand9k As a Dom/Master I can only train a sub how I wish her to be. Training can take many different aspects. The role of a Dominant to a newbie could be to show him / her how enjoyable submission can be, this is itself leads to the newbie being 'trained in submission' as they get an idea of what it includes, and, if enjoyable, is likely to make them want to continue. I had no idea I would like it this much until I was introduced to it by a Dominant, and his skillful training took me to levels of pleasure, satisfaction and enjoyment that I had no idea existed. Now I would never consider going back to just being a masochist. All this focus on what one 'is' rather than what one 'does' just closes off doors to growth and experimentation, imo. We are what we do, if we choose to do submission, this makes us as submissive as anyone else :-) owned xxx

Dude, that's one badly worded question...if she's a sub, then what does she need to learn in order to be a sub? If you mean can you train anybody to be a sub, well the answer is a resounding yes! If they can train an elephant to do a handstand and walk on its front legs...well I'd say just about anything can be taught given enough time and persistence.

BadOne have to agree with BadOne. i think like someone has already said, first define what you mean by submissive - if youre idea of submission is for a woman to accept, obey, follow and hand all authority across to their Dominant then no, you cant. the woman in question would have to be inherently sub to start with. if youre idea of submission is to have her respond to some BDSM and mutually pleasing power exchange then yes, you can. because if its fun and doesnt challenge her too much she'll run with it, whether thats submission per se is another topic altogether.

What I was looking for were peoples thoughts (and I did get a few) But for the most part many of you were trying to school Me. Here is a fact; we are all born a blank sheet of paper. But within the 1st 6 years we become who we are for the rest of ours lives. That said what we become is neither black nor white but someplace inbetween the (hundreds of shades of grey)

That said what we become is neither black nor white but someplace inbetween the (hundreds of shades of grey) i agree that the most formative years are in the first five or six years and that youre personality beyond that point is pretty much on track for the rest of youre life. the thing is that there are subs here who vehemently disagree that submission is a personality thing at all. im not one of them, i personally think it is a personality trait (for some but not for all) therefore the generic term 'sub' covers a whole gammit of different angles when it comes to submission. so youre question is an over-generalisation of highly variable content and is therefore difficult to answer.

Thank you, Sylverë for pointing out what very few seem to understand. There are many, many, things that play into who each of us become as a grown person. And many of them begin before birth. Studies also show that a childs personality does not set until the age of ten years old.

Dunno bout that all the reading Ive done shows there is a quite a debate among the scientific community re personality traits and genetics. You maybe referring to psychical traits. Highblood pressure cancers rates that type of thing. With that said the study of genetics is in its infancy. Perhaps down the road they may find a causal link between the 2. Currently the science is just not there. Just looking at my family of 4 brothers, there are dramatic differences in the way we think, talk, act. BadOne

Children are exposed to two main forms of socialisation - primary and secondary. Primary socialisation comes from our immediate family and the people we see every day, and is our main form of socialisation up to our early teens. Secondary socialisation comes from our society, culture and peer groups and takes place for the rest of our lives. People are capable of change at any age. owned xxx

Dunno bout that all the reading Ive done shows there is a quite a debate among the scientific community re personality traits and genetics. You maybe referring to psychical traits. There is debate over how much of personality development is based on genetic vs. environmental factors and in what way genetic traits affect personality. However, there is research indicating that genetic factors do have a significant influence on later personality development. So, to claim that we are all "blank slates" at birth is inaccurate. quote: lol..., there was nothing blank about my son when he arrived - he had personality to spare! Mine too! Heck, both of mine started displaying personalities before birth.

DesFIP -> RE: can you teach a sub to be a sub (4/28/2011 3:00:23 PM)
Any mother will laugh at the op's belief that we are all born tabula rasa's. We aren't. Because children who grow up in the same home have entirely different personalities. Fraternal twins are perfect examples of this. The upbringing, family order, etc is exactly the same yet the people are not.
