Wise words as always Sir_Russell. The idea that someone trusts you and wants to please you so much that they will submit to having their limits challenged just to please you must be just the most amazing feeling. The second part just resonates with me. A good sub gives so much of themselves willingly to their Dom. But to me it's just as important for a sub to know implicitly that when they need something solid to hold on to, their master will be right there beside them.

He inspires me to go there."
