******************************************************************************
I’m
prompted to write about my take on submission as I see so many use the term so
loosely and so easily. My take is my take, what submission is to me.
Submission, for me, is given
freely, with no boundaries, no expectation of equality, no sense of being
recompensed in any way. My submission is freely and totally given to my
Dominant. I don’t tally up the submissive moments and then expect X, Y and Z back
in return. I don’t try to control what He does or wants, I give my submission
with an open and honest heart. Once my submission has been given to Him, He can
expect it at all times.
At times it hurts to give so
much. Times when I am less open to giving for whatever reason. But they are the
times when I know I am truthfully submissive. When I give and give more. When I
give more than I ever thought I could, when I have to challenge myself to give
when I feel there is nothing more left in me, that’s when I slip into a
wonderful state of deep submissiveness. My heart opens to my Dom. My mind is
unlocked. When I truly feel I am His. I find a place of wonderful peace and
euphoria knowing I am completely His.
I think the D/s power exchange
is best explained using the analogy of pain play. In pain play, I get beaten
and beaten and take terrible pain. I slowly start to subspace, get little
rewards along the way for my submissiveness. I take pain that feels like I will
break and collapse, pass out or go mad. And then, tra la! The moment arrives
when I slide into deep subspace, that incredible place of euphoria and peace
which makes the whole journey sooooo worthwhile. The place I wanted to be. But
to get there took so much strength of mind, so much pain. I had to give and
give and give to Him with no sense of return along the journey.
Once there, in that deeply felt
subspace, my Dom sees me there and the sense of power and control He has at
having got me there becomes intense and palpable. He has a massive rush of power.
HE got this woman to this place. HE and HE alone has complete control of her
body and mind at that moment in time and has made her reach a place of deep
euphoria. What a massive power trip!!! What an incredible feeling to know He
has complete and utter control over another human being! Knowing He has made a
woman float in a euphoric state by His actions alone! He feels the power of
what he is, a Dominant. THIS is the place He wants to be. The rush that comes
from this sense of power is a thousand times more pleasurable for Him than the
rush that comes from making a woman orgasm. It’s like a total mind orgasm.
It fills Him with deep
satisfaction, He floats in Dom space. He got me there and is deeply pleased
with me for the submission I gave to get Him to that wonderful place. My
submission in that play has pleased Him so much, has made Him feel so
incredibly good, He cannot but love me for what I gave. This bonds us in ways
that is hard to describe with words. THIS is what we had both sought. THIS is
what the total power exchange has achieved. Connection with another human on a
plain far, far higher than that reached by sex alone.
I feel that my regular day to
day submission is much like the submission I give in pain play. I give and
give, push myself, give till it hurts, am obedient, follow orders, look deep
into myself to give more and more. Do things that incredibly challenge me,
follow His orders at all times. And then, tra la! One day, there it is, the
incredible buzz, the deeply satisfying sense of submissiveness. I am there in a
place where I am totally His to please Him. I become His submissive, not just
someone who is being submissive. I float in that place of euphoria and peace.
It fills me with a calm inner joy to be owned by this man and His submissive.
And THAT is what he sees and
feels. THAT is what makes him feel deeply dominant, when He sees that deeply
genuine submission. He is in that place where He knows He has a totally
obedient girl, one who makes him feel His power. He feels the power that my
submission gives and knows He has complete and utter control over another human
being. What a rush of power He feels!!! He cannot but love me for what I give,
for taking Him to this place of power. My submission has taken Him into
domspace. Not the adrenaline filled domspace of play, but a place of inner calm
and joy knowing that He owns this woman and is her Dominant.
Understanding the dynamics of
submission and domination takes the relationship to the place it is meant to go,
to a place where both the D and s feel the power of the relationship. Where we
stop playing at being D or s and actually are.
My submission is not a thing of
limits. It needs to know no limits for when I give limitless submission, there
is that magical moment when the Dominant will feel His power. He knows His girl
is no longer playing at submission but is actually HIS submissive and that is
the moment He knows HE is truly her Dominant. And that is the moment He has
been waiting and hoping for.
This is what my submission is
to me.
Thank you for sharing this.
ReplyDeleteI will try to integrate it in my repository of theoretical knowledge about how D/s people think and feel, bearing in mind that everyone's different, of course.
Indeed everyone's experience is different. Thanks for your comment.
