ORIGINAL: raiken Allow me to ramble...for my spirit is being troubled as of late... i am grateful for this thread, as it is not something that i find discussed very often. Lately, i am discovering a different side of myself. i have been experiencing inner conflict regarding my submissive tendencies, fantasies and desires. While i have always been predominantly sub in my relationships, there is something calling from within my psyche that wants and needs to come out. There has always been a strong dominant side to me in all other areas of my life. i manage a crew at work, i am head of house, self supportive and independent. Recently, my Master whom i serve part-time due to distance and other circumstances has had another join us in a poly type setting. Most of my life i have been sub to those i chose to be involved with. Since i was a teenager, i have always attracted and have gravitated toward dominant men. i have never been in a relationship where i was not submissive on some level. The men who were able to dominate me, were always men who were stronger intellectually and emotionally and had given me no other alternative but to finally give in and surrender. It was as if they conquered me! *grinz When this lifestyle became popular online, it was not a big deal for me, as is the case with certain others who come into their own later in life. i did not get that "aha" moment that confirmed who i was or what i was missing all these years, and with the bells and whistles associated with a profound discovery. i enjoy hearing of others who get to have that type of moment hit them, it must be awesome. However, i thought, up until now that with regard to my submissive desires and tendencies, i knew who i was; simply a woman who naturally enjoyed pleasing, obeying and serving her man, enjoying his firm hand and leadership, and making him feel like king of the hill! LOL! i still enjoy that, as it will always be a huge part of how i relate, but yet, i am longing for more now. i realize that growth and continual learning fosters changes, some i expected and some i would have never anticipated, like the change i find myself going through at present. As i watch Master play with his newly aquired slave, i find myself continually and strongly being drawn to the other side. i am not sure yet what this will amount to, but i know that i am still "be-coming", and recently the wheel has been set in motion once again. i find myself desiring to lead, guide, advise and discipline, both mentally and physically and find i get off on just the thought of it happening, regardless of gender. With regard to offering my thoughts and opinions, with Master, they have always been welcomed, even when they hit a soft spot, weakness or trigger, mainly because he knows my hearts intentions and values my wisdom and insight. i always express my thoughts with respect and kindness, and never to belittle, degrade, or embarrass him, but mainly to just make him aware of how i feel and what i observe. In many ways, he has said that i have been his teacher, just as much as he has been my guide and mentor. i have not always agreed with his judgements and descisions, but that didn't mean i didn't wish to obey, or respect them. i obeyed regardless, and then when things went wrong, he was humble enough to admit he screwed up, and the fact that he is secure within himself to admit this, only serves to inspire me to respect him all the more. He once stated to me that i need to let him learn his own lessons and not interfere, even if i strongly felt he was making a mistake, but to simply obey, as long as my safety, and his or others, were not jeapordized, and i will continue to do so. He said that Masters need to be able to fall and learn how to recover on their own, and as his slave, best friend and confidant, i will support him. If i became belligerant or domineering, critical and insensitive, and showed an attitude of disrespect for his person and/or social position in our M/s relationship, using belittling words and body language, i would not blame him for kicking me to the curb and writing me off as an incorrigible! *grinz For he would in a heart beat...yikes! LOL! However, my integrity won't even subconsciously allow me to go that route, thank goodness! *smile So now armed with this recent news flash, *grin Master has decided to explore this newly emerging "Mistress" in me, as he aptly put it, *smile (it feels weird when he jokingly says "come here my little mistress!-lol) and has welcomed me to train under him, and has decided to teach me his craft. While in my heart he will always be Master to me regardless of what titles and names he chooses to bestow upon my person, i will ONLY submit to him. He said that if another comes along who knows how to bring out and Master the slave in me, he will not stand in the way of that either for he loves me enough. He once said that he may not be my final Master, and that i may grow away from him one day, and that saddened me, but i see he is wise in saying so. i know if that should ever happen, we both made a pact that we will be lovingly connected in some way forever, for we are in each others systems. Master has told me that if he tries to cage me in spirit, he may eventually loose me, for i may come to resent him for attempting to smother or stunt my personal growth. He has also stated that it may be fun if we were both dominants, it is a new experience he welcomes as well. He said if i do well under his tutelage that we can have fun playing together, dominating other subs, but that he will always be above me in rank, and that is fine with me! *grinz i am very grateful that he understands and can real-eyes what it means to me to feel totally free to discover what will be fulfilling and satisfying to my spirit and soul, in every area of life and desire. His support means the world to me. He inspires me to be my best, and it is a rare find to be able to align with another who naturally brings out the best in me, and i in him. While i know this is long, i guess i just needed to share with you all, for i find myself at a crossroad of sorts, or perhaps a critical juncture, and feel the need to tread softly...and so i very much will welcome any thoughts you all may have regarding what i expressed. "Kudos" to all who made it to the end, you deserve a medal for your perseverance! *soft smiles ~raiken The road you travel will be difficult as you find certain new feelings conflicting with old feelings. Luckily, you have a dominant (Master) who seems to be of a very understanding nature as regards your feelings/discovery (he sounds a lot like me...~grins~). You may indeed find another who brings out the submissive feelings in you...or you may not. It has been 6 years since the "gadabout Domme" and I "ended" our relationship as Master/submissive and yet, though she has experienced submissive feelings towards a couple of others, in a recent conversation with her, she stated that her dominance is all that interests her and that she still considers herself submissive to me only. This is the way she prefers it. You may or may not prefer it another way. Perhaps you and your Master will find one that you both choose to dominate, perhaps you will find another that you wish to submit for play to and still submit in the same manner you do now to your Master, etc.. I wish you luck on your endeavor.
