Over the years I've learned a few things here. I suspected but now I'm sure that submission is not a sign of weakness by any stretch of the imagination. I am a switch, dominant in nature, and I like to submit sometimes. I've given thought to what that means. In that direction, I thought "why would anyone submit ?". Really, I am quite dominant in just about every aspect of life, but some times............
What does submitting mean to me ? After some introspection I may have some answers. No matter how young you might be, you might long for the good old days. I do. How many are actually tired of being an adult ? The time in the past there were less responsibilities and less problems. Someone took care of us. Kept us from harm.
In that process for our own good sometimes we were restrained. Can't get out of that stroller. You are basically tied up, and in the early years how different is a diaper from a chastity belt ? Are submissives trying to recreate the past ? Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with this. What happens behind closed doors between consenting adults is all good, no matter what is happeniong to their minds. If it is what we seek and what we want, and it hrms none, do as thou wilt. I certainly wilt.
Since I was young, I've read about bank presidents who hire people to literally tie them to whipping posts and of course, whip them. These are business people, sharp and on the spot, able to think on their feet. Able to leap a hundred thousand in a single keystroke. But they have this need within them.
I say that it is a vacation for them. They welcome being out of control for a time. Let their brain idle for a while. Control means responsibility, and they know it. Then they willingly give up their precious control, to shed that responsibility. As each restraint is applied, they feel more and more free. Believe me I know.
I have been offered positions of authority a few times. I could be boss, but I turned it down. Life is a bitch enough. My Father was the same in that respect, he was offered promotions many times and turned them down. His attitude was like "No, it's enough of a bitch to work here, no way am I going to run the place". I see that in me. I could take command of a business right now, only money I would have to come up with is payroll and bills and they would hold the paper. I won't do it, at least not alone. But then partners are a pain in the ass. I found in business that there must be only one boss. One person with the old cliche-ish plaque on their desk that says "The buck stops here".
My kind realizes that with authority comes responsibility, I don't take that lightly. You tie my ass up and all that, I am not in control, and therefore I am absolved of all rsponsibility.
A vacation.
Who else sees it this way ?
