I don't consider submission itself to be a strength or a weakness. However, I believe that submission is indicative of a certain amount of strength. Most people who are introduced to me in a vanilla context and later find out that I'm a sub tend to be surprised by the knowledge, because I have a very extroverted and confident demeanor in everyday life. I think that you can't really give your Domme control of yourself until you have control over yourself to give. To exercise control over your life takes strength and confidence; to give it away to someone else takes love and trust.

..... My statement refers more to the complete
fulfillment and uplifting I feel when I know that I have pleased another.

I feel the power of accomplishment, which feeds the hunger and craving to please that
I desire personally in my submissive nature.

Quite the rush when I'm a good boy.

I consider myself very submissive. I believe its a strength of character to give up my freedom to her and obey her wishes. I am very ordinary outside of my submissive relationship, not wimpy at all, I think many Dom's have this impression though.

In rsponse to the OP's questions: It's a strength. No, I hardly think of myself as a wimp.

Women are the center of my universe. I humble myself before them, their nurturing ability, their miracle of being able to give life. I respect, honor and protect them wherever possible.

Are men weak when they stand up and refuse to be a part of the mainstream "macho" crap, because they know the truth? Is one weak when they weather the insults of fools who buy into that male power fanstay bullshit? Are they weak because they support others? Are they wimps because they give of themselves, for another's pleasure and well being?

I think not.
Submissive. Male. Proud.

Let vitue distinguish the brave.
Place riches in lowest degree.
Think them poorest who can be a slave.
Them richest who dares to be free.

I believe that only in freedom can one give themselves totally.
