The Gift

Often in BDSM-speak, it is said submission is a gift. What does this mean to you?  What about dominance–can this be a gift too?

  1. I don’t consider my submission a gift. Master owns me, I cannot give him something he can simply take. What sort of sub would I be then! :)

  2. Submission.. for me.. is not a “gift’
    I am submissive.. i have no choice.
    It doesn’t make me unhappy .. i just know who and what i am~~

  3. Oh,with all do respect to differing opinions, i disagree. When in action, submission and dominance are both choices. Oh for me, yes, i’m submissive. it’s a big part of my make up. i had little choice in that matter. It’s there, inside me, as potential. But, like anything else, i could ignore it or i could not. i could exercise it, or i could not. For me, i spent years at odds with it. i’ve fought it, i’ve feared it, i’ve demonized it, and i’ve squandered it. People do not always live up to their potential. i’ve also seen men and women with beautiful, instinctual dominance run from it like it was the devil himself.

    My peace came when i realized that choosing to embracing my submission gave me peace, strength, and satisfaction. Oh yes, it is something i enjoy. And, when i surrendered to my Master, it became his treasured gift. It’s not his by any inborn right. He doesn’t possess me by default. i gave and continue to give myself freely. And, that He accepts it, is His gift to me.

  4. Kisha I couldn’t have put it more beautifully or elegantly myself. That is a perfect mirror of how I feel.

  5. My submission is always a choice. I have to continually choose to submit. I am not forced to submit. So, when I submit to the Boss, he accepts it as a treasured gift, because I am choosing him.
