I am posting this in the Master section, but it is equally for Mistresses as well.

I have been doing an awful lot of reflection on my own submission lately. As a part of this journey, I have asked my fellow subs a number of soul-bearing, not-so-easy questions in the Questions for a Sub section. The responses have been incredible.

Now that I have their perspectives, I am looking to learn about the Dom/me side as well. Not so much what do you get out of being a Dom/me, but what do you get out of our submission?

A subtle difference, but an important one. Why do you Dom/me, is a whole other topic.

When we fully submit to you, how does it make you feel? What does it do for you?

What about when we are pleasing? When we disappoint you?

When we top from the bottom?

What about if you don't have a current sub/slave?

What do you get out of it all? What brings you back for more? Allows you to put up with all the trouble we give you?

Yes, submission is a gift. But let's unwrap it, and see what is inside the package.

Although I am asking a number of questions I am hoping you will just use this as a jumping off point. I would like to start a discussion, not necessarily complete a survey. Please feel free to answer as many or as few as you would like, and add any other thoughts as you wish (not that you wouldn't anyway....y'all are Dominants, after all....).
