A rant...

I have been (rather foolishly) reading some forums on a break from doing some internet research and what i read riled me beyond belief.  The discussion was on who is the best sub in London, which, before I even start on the real issue is a pointless argument as it is subjective!

Once more the contributors fell into the trap of the "True submissive" and possibly the "True Dominant" (I think the posters may not have read the highly informative Screw the roses, bring me the thorns).  It was stated that a true submissive could not possibly switch as it would be against her nature.  I have an issue with this point as shown below:

1.  What if the submissive is ORDERED by a Dominant to administer punishment upon another or themselves?  if they refuse based on it being against their nature is that not being disobedient?

2.  I enjoy Domination, but do not get the sexual kick out of it that I do when I submit, both in private and with the guys who really enjoy the dark scenarios I do.  Therefore am I no longer truly submissive because I enjoy Domination on an intellectual level?  My partner would argue that I am all submissive believe me...

3.  Do we really have to box people in, put labels on them?  Why is there such a need to do this?  Does it make you feel safer to allot a label not only to yourself but to others as well?

4.  Since when was being the best submissive about how many strokes of an implement he/she can take and how hard?  No one mentioned the psychological side to any depth, which is so important and a huge part of submission and domination and the exchange between the two.

There is no such thing as a "true submissive" as submission means different things to different submissives and the Dominants they interact with.  "True Master's" I have met in the past and have found them up their rear end at best and dangerous at worst.

Rant over so anyone who has any opinions please share!
