I don't think I have ever stated that ...

To be frank I don't think that anybody here will be able to confirm or to deny the possibility of your submissive tendencies being a consequence of your past experiences of abuse.... A professional psicologist could perhaps build up his own theory on the basis of deep conversations with you and on an amount of other cases he might be aware of.

I found it rather surprising (I never had noticed it before) that so many submissive women I knew had had ballet trining in their young years .... just a funny coincidence? THough none of these women had experienced abusive situations neither at the ballet school, nor in their families ... as far as I know.

I quoted it just for the sake of conversation and annedotes .... not to draw a rule.

The only advise I feel able to give you, is to live your submissiveness without anguish or guilt, if you find it enjoyable and only for the time you keep finding it enjoyable, but to keep your fingers away from SM experiences if they make you feel bad, guilty or not free.
