duktig flicka, please font think anyone here is stating that your relationship is not "real" bdsm, only that we have a different bdsm relationship yours is alot closer to ours than you believe as ypur nex quote proves

this is why many subs enter the 24/7 relationship the giving up control IS the turn on and most subs DO enjoy the punishment aspect. as i have said in other posts i dont believe a true dom would ever ask/demand a sub to throw away/kill thier own personality as that would defeat the whole purpose of domination

that in my opinion IS abuse as with any contract there is always a way to release yourself that sub just needs to realize hers is a phone with 3 little #s "911"

He'll push me sometimes into doing something I don't like, but that's because it turns us both on that he does so. If he was trying to make me do things I really didn't want to, I'm quite certain I would kick him out.
now you get the whole 24/7 idea. its not just to turn the dom on its to turn both on so no more sulking ok?
