My journey in the lifestyle began over forty years ago at the age of twenty-two. That's when I met a thirty-five year old female sub, named Paula, who introduced Me to the lifestyle. We were together until her death, two years ago. It would be an understatement to say she was the love of My life. She was My life.
Everything I know about the lifestyle I learned from or with her -- together we explored nearly every fetish imaginable, which is why I hesitate to list My fetishes. First of all, there's too many of them. In 40 years My palate has become nearly universal. And secondly, and most importantly, I've learned to appreciate a slave/sub where ever she is on her journey -- to accept her gifts of respect and devotion whatever they are, knowing in time, her own curiosity and the natural growth process will expand her palate.
Speaking of gifts, on the proudest day of My life, Paula completely submitted to Me. Becoming My slave, and gifting Me with Total Power over her life. A Total Power Exchange is the most exhilarating event imaginable and comes with an awesome responsibility. I feel it is the Dominant's duty to completely understand where a slave is, before He allows her to present herself to Him. Once He accepts her, it becomes His responsibility to ensure her well being.
My thoughts about relationships were perfectly captured by Shelley:
Love's Philosophy by Percy Bysshe Shelley
The fountains mingle with the river
And the rivers with the ocean,
The winds of Heaven mix for ever
With a sweet emotion;
Nothing in the world is single,
All things by a law divine
In one spirit meet and mingle -
Why not I with thine?
See the mountains kiss high Heaven
And the waves clasp one another;
No sister-flower would be forgiven
If it disdained its brother;
And the sunlight clasps the earth,
And the moonbeams kiss the sea -
What are all these kissings worth
If thou kiss not me?

Beautiful People~
The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.
— Elisabeth Kübler-Ross |

Two weeks on this site has caused me to question everything I've learned in the past forty years in this lifestyle. After reading a number of "slave/sub" profiles, exchanging emails and speaking on the phone with a few, I've had to revisit my understanding of submission.
I've always believed, "A slave is to be measured from the inside, for it is her soul that is enslaved, her body simply follows", and that, they are born with the soul of a slave. It has always seemed to me, the act of submission is the ultimate illustration of strength and courage. In this transcendent paradoxical act, the slave sets herself free by accepting the chains of total domination.
In my experience, the MASTER/slave relationship has always been characterized by a very deep spiritual connection. A connection which defies understanding and is rarely if ever seen in other relationships. The closest parallel is the MASTER/disciple relationship seen in certain Eastern Traditions. In fact, the MASTER/disciple relationship exactly mirrors the MASTER/slave's, up to a point.
In Chinese martial arts a disciple (tu di), commits to a master (shi fu). The disciple, commits himself to the master, and the art of his master. The disciple has committed to entering and mastering a secret branch of knowledge and has requested the master to accept him into the arcane path. The relationship is very sacred and the obligations are binding.
In most of the profiles I've seen here, the slave/sub is telling prospective MASTERS, not only what they want to learn but also how they must be taught. Have I missed something, how have five-thousand years of the traditional SHI FU/tu di relationship disappeared, without my knowledge. Or, is the answer simpler, and easier to understand, suffice it to say, I'm not the one who needs to revisit the meaning of, submissive.
