Submissives


Surrender. A thought so foreign to my nature it's hard to conceptualize.

I've often thought I was born in the wrong century and as the wrong gender. My whole mind set has always been strategy and battle. The battle for a better life, to survive personal tragedy and to defend my family and friends. To constantly think ahead and to plan alternate scenarios.The first line of attack and defense has always been intellectual but I am not afraid to face physical attack or give as good as I get. Surrender has never been an option.

The sexual arena has similarities. Intellectual stimulation with physical sparing. That overwhelming power of aggressively giving and receiving pleasure is addictive. Being submissive has always been abhorrent to me.

So I find myself wondering about what drives a person to be a submissive. To surrender themselves to another.

Do not mistake this post as being judgmental. Everyone chooses what is right for themselves. I'm just seeking information to fully understand from real people and not some poorly written article or book.

I assume that for each person their reasons are variable but is there a common factor to consider?

A friend of mine once told me it was about being desired and playing with all the hardware and leather.

I think she might have been kidding about the hardware and leather, but I can see the attraction.

I could also tell that she was after something that isn't obvious on the surface of D/s relationships. As a sub, she got all the attention without doing any of the work. And her description of the stimulus and satisfaction she got out of being in headspace sounded really attractive.

I don't know. I'm just passing it along. Some of this stuff might be commonly held by practitioners. I'd be interested in hearing from others as well.

Just the same as you find pleasure in the hard won battle of conquest, the same gratification comes with me being overpowered.
Physically, being manhandled, roughly subdued.
Verbally, with loud sharp commands.
Emotionally, having another person look at me and know my weakness.


Look at being pulled over in a traffic stop at night.
Blue light of a patrol car and you are thinking "what did I do?.....what will I do?"
That uncertainty at the moment and during the minutes of having your license checked.


Add to that someone holding your arms behind you, as you lean out over the edge of a very tall building knowing that person could very well let go. The combination of all this plays into my enjoyment of being a submissive.

Although unrelated, I'm also an exhibitionist so being watched by others as I'm played with, and made someones' toy is even better.?*
