A simple question for all of you this day...what does it take for you as a dominant Male to be happy and content?
To know the one serving me does so out of authentic love and unquestioning devotion—to experience true worldly gain and pleasure from this, not just an erotic simulation of submission which merely serves the servant.
I couldnt have said it better than this.
Is it part of your (collective) point that neither happiness nor contentment is available to you (individually) by your own devices, but only through the efforts/attitudes/emotions of a submissive partner?
I ask because I, as a dominant male, gratefully enjoy happiness and contentment in a wide range of circumstances, many of which don't include a submissive partner, or any partner at all. That is not to claim that I don't also experience unhappiness and discontentedness. Frankly though, these seem more often to arise as a function my own attitude, behavior, and orientation to life in a given situation than as a function of my partners' doings.
Not that a fucked up relationship can't fuck me up, of course. But I sure don't need this or that list of submissive qualities laid at my feet to allow or ensure my happiness, say.
As for what does correlate with my (domly) happiness, I won't attempt to give a laundry list of the conditions. Without thinking too long or hard about it I'd expect that some of the same factors which contribute to my happiness and/or contentment in one situation might be irrelevant, or even militate against those responses, in another context.
I'm using the word context broadly. A certain day, or season, might the context in question. A certain partner might be as well, but again there's no necessity for this.
(By the way, MR, did you ever get around to taking a look at that epistemology paper? Feel free to reply offline.)
