To master another you first must master yourself. Nothing you've written, your reactions to what others have written, shows you have mastery over yourself. You are not alone. It's pretty common actually. One of the first things I realized when I realized I wanted this sort of relationship was that I had a lot of work to do on MYSELF before I could even begin to think another person, especially a person worth having, was going to give their power over to me. Being a master isn't just about the fun slap tickle. You have a person/s, giving you a helluvalot of control over them, their life choices, and probably even their relationships with other people they love a great deal. In controlling them, you have a huge responsibility. Most reasonably intelligent and sane people are going to have some very fucking high expectations of the person they give that control over to. I've worked damned hard on being the sort of woman, a woman I would want to have in my life, would feel safe in giving that control to. I don't take that responsibility lightly. If the words of a random stranger (me) is going to get your panties bunched, what in the hell do you do when something serious and real, slaps you in the face? I don't always use the most sugar coated words to explain my point of view. But how people take those words and my point of view says a lot about how a person deals with the less than pretty stuff real life tosses at us.
