I have heard it said that a 24/7 D/s relationship is not possible with children. As someone that has lived it I can tell you that yes it is indeed possible. It requries some creativity and discretion of course but it is more then possible, however it isn't really something that I am currently seeking.
I can not change who and what I am. I am not ashamed of being a submissive on the contrary I am quite proud of what I am. It is not a secret from my family or friends. It is who I am. I am not weak or incapable of dealing with my own life. It requires a great deal of strength to submit ones will totally to another as well as a great deal of trust. I've learned not to give that trust blindly, it must be earned.
I flourish in a strict and structured enviorment. When in a relationship I give absolutely all that I am to my Master. I am obedient and completely devoted to him and if that is not enough for him, and he wants additional submissives then I am not the one for him because I don't share.
I am a firm believer that courtesy is a given but respect is earned. What value would it have otherwise? This would mean it would be silly for someone to demand that I call them Sir or any other honorific.
I do not believe that submission is a "gift". The Dominant gives his Dominance and the submissive gives her submission. It is a mutual exchange. The "tame me if you can" mentality greatly disturbes me as that is not what this lifestyle is about in my opinion. It is about trust, love, respect and power exchange. It is not about finding the one that can break you of your brattiness or wrest your submission from you. It is about finding the one that with but a glance can bring you to your knees and you have no desire other then to please them in any way that you can.
The hardest thing a slave can face is being unowned. While I loathe my freedom I would choose to remain free rather then be with the wrong one. This holds true for sex as well. After two and a half years of abstinence I am not going to jump into bed with just anyone.
To me, D/s relationships are so much more intense and intimate then a "vanilla" or non D/s one. The bond builds more quickly and intensely because of the extreme intimacy and trust required to maintain such a relationship. When you literally place your life in anothers hands. I do not believe the deepths of intimacy and bond can be achieved outside of a D/s relationship. As I have always believed, love makes for the strongest bondage of all.
