Could you have chosen not to be dominant? It is more than a personality trait, being a submissive is every bit an expression of the soul as slavehood. It's just a bit different. <br /><br />I just felt I had to speak, as this is so often how people write essays about sub v. slave - with good intention but failing in true understanding and empathy, which keeps the biases going.<br /><br />I can be found at the site listed or at rominetic@gmail.com. This is not an anonymous post and if anybody cares to, I would discuss it further.<br /><br />SophieSophiehttp://fetlife.com/users/140760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6239336914160909269.post-56122120372171608052009-08-25T20:08:43.661-07:002009-08-25T20:08:43.661-07:00Feeling like you wrote this for me. :-) Thank yo...Feeling like you wrote this for me. :-) Thank you, Sir.
