Excellent question Lateralist, In every day life im confident, and fairly outgoing, and have had lots of jobs with people working under/for me. But for a long time, (before i 'came out' if you like, into the scene) i did think there was something 'unmanly' (if that is a word!!) about my desires to submit. I will never forget my first experience as a House slave at Club Pedestal (Femdom Club) which was the first time i had ever met other men that talked so openly and easily about their sub sides, and realised that there was nothing to be embarrased/ashamed of in following your heart. Yes i crave/enjoy humiliation, does that mean i have no respect for myself? NO, NO, NO, im following my heart and my path, and am now confident in my submission. Is submission a weakness? Certainly not. Is it a strength? im not sure i would class my self as being stronger because im a sub, though i do believe that learning how to deal with situations that im not particularly fond of without losing my head, or being forced to challenge/expand my limits in ways that i wouldnt naturally have tried, can surely be skills that can be very useful in everyday life. And once you realise that in life we all sometimes have to submit to the trials and tribulations that beset us. Maybe, just maybe, we can manage to stay sane!!!!
