I spoke with someone the other day who did not understand my desire to submit. As we spoke I tried to explain to him that my submission is no based on sex or my desire for kink. If that is all that I wanted I ave plenty of friends that would be willing to take me there without any other connection.
The connection I am seeking (when I do seek a Master) is the dynamic of the relationship first. Sex is really the last thing that I look for, simply because to me it is the least important. Most of what connects me to a person is not the physical sex act. When I seek I look for one who can make me feel something that others do not, a deep desire to please them over everything else in my life. I need Him (and yes only Him) to be strong enough to pull my mind from the everyday drone of life and focus it specifically to Him purpose. He needs to make me feel safe before I can focus on service.
Just because I am submissive does not mean that I am submissive to everyone around me. In most parts of my life I have to be in control and when I am with Him I want to feel like I can finally close off that part of myself and just relax. I do not have a need for discipline just to keep me in line. I love discipline for the purposes of remembering my place and even to endure some pain for His pleasure.
Most of the things that I love about the kink portion of the lifestyle most around me would be shocked to learn. But that is the icing on the cake. The Master that will keep me will understand that it is ingrained in me to be pleasing and the idea of being displeasing breaks my heart. He will understand that it will take me time to grow from a simple submissive and reach my potential through His guidance. He will know that once I am His I will be fiercely His, desiring His control in all aspects of my life.
As we discussed this in detail I could see that my friend was beginning to understand that this part of me that he had thought was low self esteem and something to be fixed was something else entirely. It is really good to know that he is willing to learn and be open minded. I hate to hide who I am from those around me and most of the time it is people's close-mindedness that causes me to walk away from them. I am not perfect, I make mistakes but I expect those in my life to accept that we are not all the same and that is what makes life interesting. The one thing I know for sure is that in order for me to reach my full potential as a person as well as a submissive it will take the Master that pushes me to grow in more ways than new kink. I do not have to have a Master to keep moving along, I need a Master because it is who I am and how I relate to the world.
