i know that without submission a dominant is powerless, but that isnt what this means or is it. i dont think im fond of that analogy, it suggests that we have power over our dominants - so what is it.


lally,

A fine post that got 'peeps" thinking! for some submission is simply agreeing to spread the legs or someother relevant act. As noted by several replies, it might be a "power" thing, and they follow thru that the sub has the power to submit. Then what happens to that power if the dominant simply uses his "power" to shrugg and walk away. The that submissive power is wasted.

Grins, I will refrain from further comment in the interest of keeping this thread flameless.

i just love what everyone has put, and through it all is a common cord that the power we have we freely give, that it is ours, enhanced by our submission but is in no way dependent upon it.

Ok. Hi Lally. Lally sent me here. I was the friend that used this term. When I talk of "power of submission", I think I use this because although I am submissive, I am a very powerful person. My energy and personality are big and powerful. being submissive does not negate that. Also, my mind can still direct outcome. Never have I not gotten what I wanted from a Dominant. First, I have the power to express my wants and needs and the power to make the right choices about who I select for my Dominant. I also use my power through my energy and body language and eyes.I guess you can call it persoanl power. But power in submission is also the empowerment of letting go. When a submissive relinquishes power to a worthy Master, she is not negated. If he cares about her and is ethical, he builds her up (as opposed to tearing her down), she becomes more authentically herself and more confident. Thats the power of submission.

In theater for an actor to give his/her best performance he/she has to have another actor of equal caliber to bounce energy between. If the other is not as accomplished, or less talented, then the dymanic isn't as good as it could be, and the acting will be subpar.

I see subs and doms as being in a similar situation - you could be the greatest dom in the world , and if all you have to dom is the local doormat then you aren't living up to your potential. In this sense there is true power in submission- in direct proportion to the power of the dom.

Not all power comes from others, most of it is within us.  I think the best d/s happens between partners who both have their own personal power to bring to the table.  For the dominant partner, that power is generally about their ability to lead and influence others.  For the submissive partner, things like self determination and personal power play into what they bring to the d/s table.  When they surrender these to a dominant power and the dominant partner adds their focus and control... well for me it is magic :)
