The Joy Of Being Submissive (2)

Over a year ago, I wrote in this Weblog that “there is something fundamental about the very trait of submissiveness that is, at least for me, undoubtedly life enhancing.” For clarification; what I meant by that statement was the quirk of psyche and not the state of being in a Mistress / slave relationship. At the time I had planned to dig a bit deeper and to explore what, in practical terms, that actually meant; however, I guess I must have been distracted because, although it's something I think about quite a lot, I never got around to actually writing anything down.

What reminded me of this was a recent Weblog which strongly suggested that the author, because of his particular circumstances, had come to regard his submissive nature as practically a curse.

Of course, every submissive will view their nature differently; but, when I thought about it, I realised that I rarely see any declaring it to be a blessing.

Generally it doesn't even seem to be regarded as a characteristic at all, but more as an itch that can only be scratched through the acquisition of a Mistress.

Inevitably though, when the itch just doesn't get scratched, it becomes more and more irritating, and, almost as inevitably, so does the submissive, which just perpetuates his predicament.

So, mainly for myself, but also, hopefully, for any troubled submissive who happens by, I'm am going to try and demonstrate just how lucky we are.

I feel already that it's going to be an interesting read when you get around to writing it Feitheachd
Although, not a sub, I totally agree that submissiveness - when embraced, accepted and allowed to flourish - must be a blessing and therefore life enhancing. It is a lovely trait to have.
I have seen submissiveness develop in people and bring with it great comfort, security, confidence and ultimately happiness for the sub. It's not always an easy journey to undertake (and I think sometimes accepting a submissive side can be more difficult for men), but if seen through to the end, the rewards are tenfold.
This recent thread certainly highlighted to me the pride a lot of subs have in their submissive qualities and nature
