Submission is not a gift.
Submission, is an act of yielding control to the will of a strong, capable, dominant man or woman; it is a state of surrender to authority exercised.
I do not give control; instead, it is taken from me, and as a result I will defer and yield. There are very few men that I know, who are able to understand this. More so, even fewer, who are able to act upon that understanding.
I do not offer; I present who and what I am as a female. I do not give; I acquiesce my mind and body to dominance and power.
I do not romanticize dominance and submission, by believing them to be an exchange of gifts to be cherished and adored. I do not find the concepts lovely, beautiful, or pretty in display. Instead, I see submission as a very primal, raw, and instinctive response to genuine domination; which can be strong, harsh, and demanding.
Indeed, the men who I will submit to, understand this and do not hesitate to take what is there to be taken.
Men don't wait, for the "gift".

I've been struggling with this concept...of submission/gift for a year now....and not making much progress either.
What you say makes more sense to me now, and getting away from this 'gift' mentality (psychobabble I think) probably helps.
I innately agree that submission is raw, primal and instinctive as a response to strong domination, but that domination is rare I have found. That makes me half-ass my attempt at submission. Why submit to weak men? Pointless, they don't know what to do with your submission.
Well, my husband is finally starting to read and perhaps will 'rise' to his powers. He's reading "Taken in Hand" tonight for the first time...and has been at it for hours... this is the first sign of life in him on these issues...so I just will be (finally) patient and see where it goes.
Your article is a good one. It does speak loudly to me. Clarifies an issue I haven't understood much.

i never saw it as a gift. i have heard it countless times, and when a dominant says..i cherish your gift..it turns me off.
yet, i am dewy eyed girl and quite romantic..but when it comes to this lifetyle..it seems the will and body have a mind of their own and all those higher faculties in my nature take a backseat.
A very good post, and i love your blog.
Thank you, for your comments. I'm glad that you enjoy my blog.
