So you do not honor and cherish your sub?

With love.. neither of these can exist. There must be a level of love that goes into nearly every righteous quality humans possess.

Making sure that it is safe, sane, and consenual, is loving. One does not have to agree to those terms... when a Dom lets his sub. have a safeword and exercise the right to use that word... I do believe it is rather loving.

This is not necessarily in reference to a scen playing with Doms and subs who visit one another.. etc... it does take time to build a bond that includes love.

But in a situation like the one mentioned to open this discuss.. I do belive love is the foundation for the relationship.

Love moves mountains... and subbies little asses.
