It would almost definitely have been easier for me to accept if I had discovered dominant tendencies, due to both society in general and the way I was raised(and it would have been better for my last relationship), but alas, it was not to be.

I know without a doubt that I am submissive, but it is diffiult to accept that, yes, I want to be controlled and humiliated, and no, there isn't anything wrong with me because of it. It's hard, but i'm learning, and this forum is helping so much in that.

(now to wait and see how long it takes me to 'come to terms' to the point of actually attempting any sort of real D/s interaction. i'm really a bit of a chicken)
