Agrees 100%!!!!! hardly worth replying to

But you did. :/ I know which one i consider stupid.

Everyone has the right to ask questions, some of them may not be worded right but it was still a valid question.

And one often in my own mind. I would be interested to hear if people have been affected badly by humiliation play that they initially wanted. You can see what you're doing with a knife during edge play but mind games can be equally hazardous.

can i word the question differently? say for example a sub is being verbally humiliated and degraded ... is this not going to have the effect of reinforcing a negative self image?

I don't have a negative self image, i'm not happy 100% with myself but i don't have any negative hang ups. However, i wouldn't enter into a relationship that involved humiliation, mainly because it's not my 'thing'. I suppose humilation would effect some people badly but i think it's just down to the mindset of someone not down to the treatment of them.

I think as in all walks of life some will have low self esteem and some won't.

I myself have a very healthy self image, there are of course things I would change about me but they are part of me and I can live with them. Being submissive has nothing to do with my self esteem, in fact I didn't come to BDSM until I really knew myself and really liked myself, it was in fact what allowed me to explore this side of myself.

As to humiliation etc, they are just words and actions that turn me on. And afterwards when he holds me in his arms then I know the truth.

Im sure there are some with low self image that use their submissive side to bolster ithemselvrs or to confirm their low opinions but I'm not one of them.

I think to be sub and let others do what they do with a negative self image it would not be possible. Subs/slaves have to be strong. By suggesting they are not could be considered insensitive and offensive. This may be why your post has not gone as you expected.

The very fact that I'm completely comfortable with myself, and entirely confident in my own abilities, is what draws me to submission - someday, someone might manage to actually take me down a few notches. Someday. Someone. Maybe!

'Cos it's so logical to categorise a group of people by their sexual preferences?

Some women are submissive. Some women have negative self image. Therefore some submissive women have negative self image. Go figure.

I'm sure you'd find just as many doms, dommes and switches that have negative self image.

well behaved women rarely make history

You're shitting me, right? I'm just going to assume your account has been hacked and some idiotic troll is posting stupid questions. Please tell me I'm right?

would i be right in saying that most subs have a negative self image? or at least parts of their personality that has become associated with a negative self image?

i thinks it's a faulty premise....

What, in 9 years here, made you come to this assumption?
