that says it all for me! like many other of the romanticisms involved in bdsm.
it just sounds concieted and a bit sloppy to me and sometimes it comes across almost as though people are trying to justify submission in some way, im not saying they are but it can at times appear that way.
ive always wondered this..if submissions considered a gift then whats Dominance?
