A submissives journey - Respect in the BDSM D/s lifestyle

Respect MUST go both ways! This not only applies to the submissive respecting the Dominant; but also applies to the Dominant respecting the submissive. BEING SUBMISSIVE DOESN'T MEAN BEING A DOORMAT!!! If you're a submissive playing with a Dominant who doesn't respect your self-esteem as well as your physical self, then you may be involved with an abusive rather than an ethical Dominant. Rethinking your continued involvement in this relationship is strongly encouraged! Remember, just as a submissive needs a Dominant to be submissive to; a Dominant needs a submissive to dominate. Both equally need and deserve respect from one another. Respecting each other is also a prerequisite for trust.
