I identify as a submissive, not a slave (though if the right woman were to ever come along, that would be a distinct possibility). I am drawn to women with sadistic tendencies. Even though I dont love pain, I do love being disciplined by a strong woman. In part, it is the giving up of control. In part, it is the anticipation of the unknown. In part, it is a test of will to endure the pain, and come back for more.
