You've never been turned on by the idea of complete submission of control in the bedroom? Forget bdsm for a second...and look at it like this. There is something completely liberating and....empowering to choose to give up all control, but yes - it requires a LOT of trust. That's the dynamic you're not getting, though both spy and I said it...it's the submissive who always maintains control. The dominant partner is merely giving the submissive what he or she desires. I don't really get into the BDSM thing (don't ask why I know so much about it), but I'm not going to lie...there are aspects of submission that I definitely understand the appeal of. Hmmmm....I'm going to send you a (fictional) story I wrote a while back...might illuminate things a little...PM coming.
