Many people who identify as vanilla have this idea that those who label themselves as a submissive or slave are weak.This view is a misconception.
Slaves and submissives have taken on this station after they have fully educated themselves on what it requires. For those who have chosen to be owned by a Dom/me, online, offline and/or both, have taken the time to get-to-know the Master or Mistress that they are submitting to and the rules set forth by these person's.
I hope the individuals that question the strength of submissives and slaves, to take the time to learn on what the life truly is for a slave and a submissive.

Thank you for this post sarahe. Many have the preconceived notion that to submit one must be weak. It is more the fact that they are trying to relate it to their own experiences and they don't understand that in our lifestyle the power exchange is a consensual thing not something that is forced. From the vanilla stand point they could never relate to a time when they willingly gave over control to another because they strive for equal relations and we in the BDSM culture do not. We have equity not equality.
