As ambiguous human sexuality has become in the 21st century, it is important to recognize that being a submissive is just as ambiguous. And that reality has serious implications when you add the need to find a Dominant to serve. Understanding the anatomy of what makes someone submissive is necessary in order to effectively present in the truest and most honest form possible. Because while it is so easy to just focus on fulfilling the fantasy, it is equally difficult to focus on what a Dominant deserves.
A true submissive serves from the heart, they don’t need an Owner driving them to do something, they do it willingly, gladly, eagerly.
