you know, i thought about adding in something about trust since you mentioned it in your other reply. but it's more than just trust—there's a deep intimacy, a mutual respect, and vulnerability in this type of submission. it's something that's desired and inspired—just a way *some* of us are wired.

trust is foundational in this—in any healthy relationship. but this greatly differs from the view of "submission" that most of these trads types espouse—the focus never seems to be on choice or trust, but compliance.
