There's quite a large difference between granting a request and submitting to a request.
It's still the dominants ultimate decision.

No.

No.

Sadly, too many subs feel this is true and thus break down communication by not requesting or even informing the dom of things.

And too many doms feel this is true and thus equate saying "no" all the time with being dominant.

I understand that the way people fantasize about these relationships, it is hard to mesh with the reality of communication and working together, but it must mesh or it will be doomed.  The quicker people give up their illusions, the much more fulfilled they will be.

And submissives who think a Dominant is going to "un-mess" their entire lives if they lack the emotional maturity to even make the smallest decision for themselves, or think clearly on their own, are going to find themselves frustrating a few Dominants, IMO.

D/s requires adult participation, just like any healthy relationship.

Not if you are a TRUE DOM!!! I set the rules and never try anything new..Unless of course I thought of it. I have found that to have any chance at a long lasting relationship it is solely based on me taking the bitch by the horns...and communication only gets in the way....Great post!....Keep up the good work!...Can't wait for the next insightful question!!!

Status: offline 		My Master submits to nothing, at least when it comes to me, lol.  I have, however, made requests.   Of these requests, some he thought were good ideas and incorporated them.  Some he wasn't so keen on but explored them and either incorporated them or rejected them, and some he flat out rejected.

He controls the relationship, always.

I want a sub to make requests.  That gives me power.  Knowledge is power.  If a sub wants Me to do something I now know what I can use as a reward.  I would never do something I truly, truly hate.

The reality is in a loving D/s relationship both partners have to be happy.

That said, I still want to go to zoo...

I answered your slightly altered question in Ask A Mistress so won't rehash but will only clarify the part on submission.

No, it does not mean the dominant is being submissive.  The dominant chose to act a certain way.  It so happened to coincide with the submissive's desires.  There was no shift in power.  The dominant will often do things that the submissive likes.  If it all sucked for the sub it probably wouldn't last long.  But there is no change in the dynamic of D/s just because a dominant is in a particularly agreeable mood that day.

Submitting to a request is not the same as submitting in a BDSM dynamic nor is it the same as submission.  Much the same as hitting "submit" on a form does not make a dominant doing it suddenly a submissive.

I am servicing my own desires.  At the time I desired to do what my sub liked also.  The difference is I will indulge my sub but will not do anything I really dislike.  There are times he has to do what he does not like to please me.

Status: offline 		Doing something nice for someone or as a reward is not submission. The intent behind the action is what defines the meaning. I've cleaned my friend's apartment while he was at work because it was a nice surprise, not because I submitted to him. I've had my house cleaned by someone in submission. It's all about the mental, emotional and spiritual intent.

Status: offline 		It's always been My philosophy that a D/s relationship must be enjoyable/fulfilling for BOTH parties involved. As a consequence, it is imperative for the sub to commuicate to her Dom, her needs, wants, desires, and fantasies! A daily journal is a requirement. She must always be direct and truthful in what has pleased her, turned her on, and what she has thought about in between times. This is My way of gaining continuing insight into her psyche! Although not the only way.

What I do with the information gained is up to Me. But suffice to say, I do pay great attention to her needs. What kind of fool would ignore them???

Status: offline 		I'm not talking in reference to a friend cleaning a freind's house.  Between a dom and his sub only.  If your sub said 'please do me like this tonight'  and you do, are you submitting to his request?
