Hmm ... I'm no expert in relationships D/s but I can speak from experience (I was in to relationship D/s as a submissive). I totally agree that a relationship D/s is based on trust 100% , mutual respect and there is nothing like an abusive relationship. A 24/7 relationship or a BDSM scene always begins with a negotiation, which you don't have to be afraid to share your needs and fantasies. Your Dominant expects honesty about your wants, health concerns, turn-offs, and your limits. ( in my relation, in every Sunday I had a free time talk we're I spoke about what I liked or not from last week ) For me it was an experience that changed my life, given me confidence and taught me to say no to people who treat me bad, I know it sounds weird but my Dominant taught me that. (before I was such a pushover and I could not refuse anyone ) Well ...I think I say enough... for now ... I wish you all a lovely Sunday! *Kisses* :* :* :*
