ORIGINAL: thatsub To me this looked like a rather simple and straight forward question. I guess, I have been away from this forum too long and forgot how regulars here like to twist everything inside-out and make OP a monster. I view the forced part of the question as not a non-consensual kidnapping or rape. It is more of a mental pretend game some subs like to play in their head. Some of us like to imagine that we are still free and our submission is "earned" by a strong Dom/me by asserting their dominance. Just view such a simple concept of "D" as a punishment - it is assertion of dominance and while one might say "I let you punish me because I want to", others will say "I let you punish me because I accept your dominant position and my submissive position". In my opinion, there is a difference in those views, even though under close examination they both appear to be consensual and done by sub's choice. Have you ever considered, that when subs agree to something and submit feely, they don't always feel "right" about it, because these actions give them power and control over the situation? Some of us would like to have illusion that we do not have that control, we like the "forced" submission. Please bear in mind that this "forced" submission is still consensual and is not forceful in a rape sense. I knew what the OP meant, but there are many things that could have been assumed from the wording choice, so I suppose it's my own biases that led me to understanding his question. In my experience - the actual act of initial submission to be his slave was not "consensual non-consent". This, for me or him, would have done nothing for either of us. But certainly, acts within the dynamics of the relationship, like fantasy play, for example, is where I can enjoy "consensual non-consent", which I feel is very different from my initial act of submission which was totally, and completely given to him from me, because he allowed me to experience the kind of person he is, and that was amazing. All that aside, I'd also agree heartily with the statement in bold. I would however, consider myself more of the, "I submitted, now it's in his hands" camp, because anything else to me seems like it would be "topping from the bottom". I really don't think there's anything wrong with either preference, as I enjoy both myself, but it can be difficult when you and your dominant/submissive don't share those preferences due to the nature of the "consensual non-consent" situation.
