ORIGINAL: RavenMuse Whilst it is a fun little movie in some respects, there are several things where I agree it isn't a good model for D/s. The submission seeming to come from her emotional baggage and being to some extent bracetted in the same 'box' as self-harm. Him being insecure and somewhat neurotic... and don't get me started on the brattish behaviour in order to get 'punished'. I'd say about 90 % of submissives have some kind of emotional baggage ... Baggage is part of life. If you want a 100% baggage free person, I suggest purchasing an infant clone, raising it in a bubble and then move into the bubble with it when its of age. But then you'd be bringing in your own baggage ... Hmm, yeah. Her self harm had nothing to do with her submission to him. Getting a spanking from your Dom doesn't feel *anything* like hurting yourself. The two feelings are so vastly different its not even funny. Self harm is not a submissive act. Its an act of control ... Taking control over yourself and taking control away from others. Submission is an act of giving that control to someone else. Complete opposites ... I've been harming myself for over 10 years now. When I have a Master or Daddy I stop ... Not because I'm told to stop but because the need to harm myself simply isn't there. I don't feel chaotic, therefore I don't feel the need to struggle for control. When I do not have a Master or Daddy its like all this chaos just builds up inside and around me and finally something will trigger me, an argument with my mother, being yelled at by a stranger, or even some percieved slight from another person, and I'll hurt myself ... Its not about the pain. Its about focusing on the act and the act itself, to hurt myself, to scar myself ... Its very primative ... But its like glaring at the world and saying, THIS IS MINE AND I'LL DO WHATEVER THE HELL I WANT WITH IT! Its not submissive in the slightest ... As far as him being neurotic. Uhm why? Because he had a hard time accepting the fact that wanting to spank girls wasn't a bad thing? Oh, right like you *never* once questioned yourself. At some point every one in this lifestyle questions it ... Not everyone battles themselves over it but everyone has at least a moment's pause. Again, human nature. Part of living in the real world ... Finally ... SOME dominants LIKE bratty behaviour and tiny little pranks. She put a worm in the mail and a dead bug on the bed. Neither act was some horrific thing ... She didn't embaress him, bring anyone else into it, or act obnoxiously bratty like I've seen some submissives do and then excuse it as PMS, menopause or bitchiness ...
