Truly Submissive?

I've always thought of myself as quite submissive sexually.
If I'm watching reading porn I'm generally more turned on by seeing the female dominated slightly.
But in reality although I enjoy beng tied up/controlled I think this is more of a role play as I have to be in total control of the situation - i.e. the other person/people involved have to be playing the roles the way I wish.
So would you class this as just submissive role play or is this just a case of a sub having boundaries? dunno
Am I really the dominant party as I'm the one that's decided how it's going to be? :dunno:
Or am I just a typical Libran who can't make up her mind? confused

I suppose it could be a bit of both. I'm not that familiar with sub/dom so I can't really answer all that well. In certain circumstances I can be very sub redface. In others everytime the person tries to be Domme on my I resist automatically....:giggle:
I'll be watching with interest lol
in s&m the sub is always in control. The dom plays within the subs' boundaries and gets pleasure from that.
The dom overtime will get to know the sub and their boundaries and push them... but the sub is always in overall control.
in S&M I am a switch which means that in a scene I can take on either role depending on whom I am playing with. But as a Dom I have to be sure that my sub is happy and I am doing everything that s/he wants.
and are you saying you are submissive, or just passing over control and trust?

I suppose this is the most important part. I've only encountered a few ladies I could really trust. I haven't had chance to explore this part of me yet, but who knows? Maybe one day biggrin
You think you've got problems- try being a Gemini confused
Are you submissive in RL? I suppose thats quite a big indicator. Unfortunately, most guys don't even try to dominate me, which is a real shame :?
I always think that a truly submissive person can be walked over in all circumstances. That they have no ability to comprehend an argument or alternative thought and are unable to make decisions for themselves.
The sub dom relationship requires a complex mix of demands, with the possibility of either the sub or the dom determining how much play is involved. Either can control by dom or sub values. They set rules and follow their code of conduct.
So each needs a strong sense of their own character and how to apply it. A truly submissive person does not usually have this ability, they are insufficient in such qualities.
Even if a couple are staying within conventional sexual practises there is a constant exchange of wit and repartee which includes sub and dom like exchanges. Or more closely related to role play?

Or rather than wanting to be a sub - is it a means to be passive and just take?
Do the ropes represent submission or are they the perfect excuse to be greedy and receive whilst having to do nothing but enjoy?

Not necessarily. I gave the ropes as an example, but I also enjoy being directed/instructed.
However again I'm in control as I've predetermined what will be directed.
Does that make sense confused

If you consider people who dress up in nappies. its often highly put upon executives who take up the hobby. It is an antidote to their stressfull working life. They have power and make decisons and give directions at work, they go all goo goo and irresponsible in their hobby.
But in a way they still have a prime controlling role to play as a 'baby', but they allow themselves to be submissive to their 'mother'.

wouldn't say it was selfish and greedy. certainly if i'm gagged, bound, etc, then i relinquish 'overt' control to my partner, but in doing so i give myself over to them within very definite predefined limits, and in doing so allow them to indulge their greedy side? it's still very much a shared pleasure. being passive is not the same thing at all as being inactive in the play! ;)

If you state your boundaries and hand over the control to the other person/s - yes it is a sub role.
If you state what they can and can't do and make clear they must stick to the 'to do' list or it's game over - no ... you're just a bossy control freak!
lol

lol

I'd say that sums me up quite well redface
Women I've played with that enjoy the 'submissive/passive' role seem to give a variety of reasons as to why they want to.
Anything from pure escapism, to having a desire to feel used, to only wanting to be played with sexually, to role-play, to wanting to be 'controlled' by another, to those who gain genuine pleasure from servitude.
I've toyed with the idea with taking on a submissive role sexually, but I'd still be Topping from the bottom!
Who am I to say but to me HLB it sounds like role-play and not Domination/submission (D/s).
A sub would state boundaires that they would not wish to be crossed. A soft boundary is something that could be pushed a little and a hard boundary is a line that isn't to be crossed under any circumstances.
It would them be up to the Dom or Domme to guide and control the play within in the agreed rules and boundaries.
To me it sounds like you are also directing the scene and what should happen, so to me that's role-play.
It made sense to me! lol

selfish :shock: I never mentioned selfish :shock:
never said you did! :shock: lol :P but being greedy and receiving while having nothing to do but enjoy might imply not giving, which might imply selfishness? confused my point was, being passive and 'only' receiving is, in certain circumstances, a giving thing in it's own right! biggrin

Ive always struggled to define whether im truly submissive or not. I do enjoy being controlled, to a certain extent. I do enjoy being dominated, I do enjoy being told what to do, to a certain extent. Although it is always within my boundries and if the other person goes too far with it then I will tell them. So I dont know if this counts as being submissive. I do like to think that I am though.
I cant think about this anymore, im confusing myself rolleyes

I am a true submissive . I enjoy being Dominated and used by both male and female Dominants. I like to be controlled and told what to do and told what is going to be done to me. I also enjoy being verbally humiliated.
Saying all this i am not stupid I have my boundaries,
which all my Dominants know in advance. Some things i will not do or take and if these are broken the game is over.
So yes the submissive is always in control, a good Dominant only makes it look as though they are.
HLB you sound a lot like me and what I like sometimes. I wonder sometimes whether is it roleplaying or being sub. Or maybe as POLO says - I am just being greedy. But I often want to be totally submissive. TO be told what to do. Tying up sometimes comes into it - but not always. It is that "loss of control" thing, but knowing that you can trust your partner too. I have not yet met someone who can totally understand that. To say, for example, "I want you to suck me now" etc. It takes all "responsiblity" away from you and it is something I so want to explore! But without going into a sub/dom relationship it seems virtually impossible to find. Well for me anyway!

A submissive, is in effect, always in control of being out of control. She will always ultimately hold the trust and boundary cards no matter how hard they are pushed. She is in control always and yet she isn't but yes she is..... Only a true submissive will comprehend this smile She hands over complete and utter trust of her mind, body and soul to her Dominant/Master/Top.

She... She... She... tut-tut, what about the He?

I think that you, an intelligent lady who perceives and understands the mindset of the D/s relationship, knows where I am coming from biggrin
