ORIGINAL: MariaB She wasn't asking if she'd be a good submissive for you, she asked the question, "what am I" and as someone who is fairly new to all of this, I'd say she's probably got a while to go before she works that out for herself. When people walk into this scene/lifestyle or whatever we want to call it, from a nilla world we may just find our desires sparring with our conscience… Why? because bowing down to a primary partner and submitting to his dominance is something so alien to the nilla world we live in, especially us in the West because we've been brought up in a society that teaches us that sensible grown up girls don't behave like that; that western women fought for their freedom to survive alone. We've been on the scene about the same length of time and in that time I'm sure you've seen plenty of new green behind the ears potential submissives playing up. They either hang around for a short while before leaving or they blossom into a role they feel ultimately comfortable with. Submissives don't come ready made, even if they feel they were born to be submissive. Neither do they improve with the right training and all that bollocks. A woman/man becomes submissive when they begin to feel truly comfortable in that role with a certain individual. Just because this hasn't yet happened for the op doesn't mean she's not submissive, it could simply mean she's not had the chance to blossom yet. That's exactly why I think the self reflection is going to do her good. Let's call her primary relationship and the things related to it her vanilla life. Husband, house, kids, etc. I have this really strong suspicion that in that part of her life, she feels like she had to be in control to make things run smoothly. She kind of reminds me of that line from the movie <paraphrased> that she's got all of these balls in the air and she feels like if somebody else tries to take one of them, she'll drop them all. Basically, she's exactly the kind of person who seeks to submit in part of her life because she wants the release that submission can give to some people. I mean, how many people are there out there who have to be 'in charge' everywhere else which is precisely why they find submission freeing? The problem is the OP gets in her own darn way. She's been telling us that (she at least thinks) she has the desire to submit. There's something in it for her that she feels will be more satisfying than *just* the BDSM (casual kinky play) and it's not the other stuff that she could be doing if she went out and got herself a secondary vanilla relationship. I'm not saying she has to be uber slave. I'm saying she needs to come to some determinations about how much control she wants to yield to somebody else (which is probably only going to be so much because she does have the vanilla life at home) but no contribution, no result. She's not going to reap the benefits of submission if she doesn't *give* any submission. Also, she is going to have to sit down and come to some terms about being poly. If her next Dominant is (again) going to be her secondary partner, unless she's only ever going to date people who will only have her as their partner and nobody else in their life, she's going to have to work on her poly self. No, it's not entirely "Daddy's" job to make her feel better because she's got constant jealousy issues or try to dictate the terms of his other relationship. Shoot, the last thread that we had from the other side (the gal who came along because her Dominant's other submissive was having influence in decisions) everybody piled on about how 'bad' the Dominant was for that. The OP *could* be working on certain things about herself that were contributors in her prior relationship going south, so her next relationship doesn't go the same way. If she was willing to do it, she might benefit from whatever sub sig or poly discussion group that might be available in her local community. It might help in her case.
