A submissive will often times be a type 'A' personality, and find comfort and release in their submission.
What is meant by a type 'A' personality? Haven't heard that before.




IMO your sharp divisions here are not really found in reality - I think many subs will go far to please their D and not all slaves will sacrifice everything, to make two examples.

Type A personality.

As far as organization. Yes inner organization. I gave the example of the LGBT community. They are well organized. Our community doesn't have the same organization. We are organized on a local level for education and protection within our community. We fail to be organized at a level above that, that would give our community more legal rights. A more firm place in accepted society. This lack of organization is two part. Too many people have to fear the legal ramifications of being actively BDSM, and then there is the definition problem. All the things we do have various definitions. It prevents us from being able to talk about the same thing, and have the same understanding of the same thing without a long drawn out discussion about the definition. Mind you, I don't want someone coming along and being the definition police, I'm just citing my observation into why we are that way.

And my definitions are based in reality, because they are founded on my experience. They are not meant to be your definition, or a definition for anyone else. Hence the reason for prefacing my post with IMO (aka In My Opinion).
