ORIGINAL: tearfulsurrender This is a topic that was on my mind a great deal yesteday. Why do i crave an authority figure all the time? Why do i need to be told what to do, how to do it and when to do it? I spent several hours thinking about this. I was a very rebellious child and teenager. I had extremely strict parents. When they said one thing, i did the exact opposite even when i knew the consiquences. When i was paddled at school or came home and dad spanked me with his belt, you would have thought someone was killing me. I never "stood there and took it" I left home when i was 16 years old because i could no longer deal with the restrictions they imposed on me and if i had to hear "as long as you live under my roof you will live my my rules" one more time, i think my head would have come flying right off my shoulders. So, fast forward three years to when im 19. All of a sudden, i find myself dating older men who boss me around...and im loving it! When i heard about the wonders of the internet shortly there after, i found myself reading stories and quips from other girls like me. The more i read the more i was turned on and intrigued about this world they called BDSM. One would think that i would have naturally identifed as a Top, but oh no!! I needed a Daddy! Some people feel they are hardwired for this lifestyle, and that may be true. I think i just got tired of fighting. I was tired of always being the one in control and making for the most part the WRONG decisions. After years and years of struggling with this, i finally came to terms with what i needed; a stern displinarian. There are certinaly times when the hard headedness in me comes out... but i quickly remind myself how hard that life was and i soften. I wasnt born submissive, i grew into it. tearful Hi tearful, To me it sounds like you seek security in someone controlling you because you equate that with love since it's how you were treated by the people you loved most that gave you guidance when you were little. In physically abusive relationship studies I read about they say how this equating your childhood with love and security good or bad is very common. Most people look for partners who have some habits like our parents or guardians had in our lives as a child even if we hate the habit. suzanne
