Some of those traits are evident in non-BDSM relationships, the my-master-is-God type particularly springs to mind.

I haven't spent much time thinking about it, just six years or so online observing. These are the types of submissives I find in most chats and email groups.

And you bet your butt that these kinds of people exist outside of BDSM relationships. Although, the vanilla community has its particular variety of quirks that goes along with it.
