ORIGINAL: KnightofMists Well irish... I am confused... what exactly does being playful have to do with not being submissive? Many have a negative term of Brat! In a large degree it is often used in a negative context. However, it is also used to reflect a sense of playfulness and positive carefree nature of a person. I personally don't feel some who his playful is behaving in a manner inappropriate as a submissive. However, what I view as playful and acceptable behavior for a submissive could be very different for the next person. . So really how do you feel about your Playful nature? Do you feel it adds to your connection to the Dominant and a drive to submit to his will and authority. Or do you feel it detracts from it? Look internally for those answers... and then find the one that appreciates and shares your view points on this. Do not pigeon hole yourself because another labels you as such. Submission and Dominance is an instrinsic motivation that drives many of your behaviors. Look at your own behaviors in the various interactions and consider what is driving you to behave in that manner.... I would also consider that we are not just submissive or dominant individuals. We are also... chrismatic, humorous, easy going, serious etc etc.... we are many things that don't limit our submissive or dominant motivations. My personality is naturally playful and often light-hearted, fun...I get very giddy and silly at times with actual 'submission'...perhaps it's a rush of those "happy hormones" or endorphines? I guess I'm still figuring that out. I do know that I love to help and serve others. However, when it comes to 'submission' I am only turned on by the behind closed doors aspect. I do agree with you about labels and sometimes I tend to place myself in various categories. However, I think you have it right....that we are not just subs/doms, we are all human beings with different personalities! Thanks! Irish
