A Different Viewpoint
February 8, 2010
Most of us have had many discussions regarding the concept of submission. I have written about my take on being submissive, in a post or two quite some time ago.
To me, the idea always comprised somehow giving something of myself up, somehow. To be a submissive woman, you’re suppose to cow to your man, walk ten steps behind him, yada yada yada…
Never happening in my world. I’m not even comfortable with the idea of handing all the decisions over to a husband, if I had one.
I’m a big girl; I make decisions every day, thank you.
But a gentleman presented a different viewpoint to me recently, one I had never considered, and it has intrigued me enough to want to write about it.
To him, it’s more of a centering; becoming focused by temporarily giving up control.
I have to say, this I can get on board with. After a lifetime of fighting with the idea of submissiveness, I can actually accept this concept. Because I’m not giving anything up; on the contrary, I’m being given a gift of release, however temporary.
Now before I get a ton of e-mail– I know this is not the way it works for a lot of you. But for me– strong, independent city girl– I can wrap my head around this.
Of course, it helps if there is chemistry between two people. And that certain look a man gets in his eye…
