"Define 'true'? " I would define a true submissive as one who lives a 24/7 lifestyle, who's entire being is defined by servitude and deference to another. I don't mean this post as an attack or to denigrate anyone. Simply curious as to what others think | |||

"What is a true submissive though? You can get bratty subs, little subs, service orientated subs, obedient subs who like rules and discipline, slutty subs, masochistic subs, role play subs, subs who also switch.....They're all wonderful in their own unique ways, but it's just a case of finding one you're compatible with. " Hmmm this is perfectly correct. However, there are subs that are a little bit of this and that with the switch aside. I believe the OP was referring to more a sub that is full time rather than just playtime. This hard to achieve in today's society and misgivings so they exist just not as you may think. | |||

Just people who are well matched and those who aren’t. | |||

"In my experience, this is the most elusive of creatures.. Most are play submissive's only or situational submissives.. I've been around the world of kink for a long time and in all of that time I've only known one truly 24/7 submissive. Not really a question, just an observation" In the kink scene in my town there are lots of subs. But it’s a very personal thing. How submissive one person is maybe me too much or not enough for another. My partner is submissive with me but not in her work life and we fit perfectly. Within the kink scene, dynamics have to be negotiated and we all evolve in our own ways | |||

The same as with doms, every guy is now a dom with little or no understanding of the true responsibility of being a dom, that one can just decide to be a dom rather than dominance being an enate quality. | |||

"Let people he who they are. That's truth." Very true and a truly important part of understanding anyone is the key for them to be exactly who they are. A D&S relationship can enable a couple to fullfill a dynamic that’s altogether totally different to any other experience they might have in a vanilla world, I find it very rewarding even to the degree it’s all consuming at times too | |||

"My personal view is to distrust anyone who talks of "twew" doms or submissives. Also those who talk about "natural" or "innate" doms or subs. Accepting there has to be some inclination within a person to take a role within a relationship. But I don't believe people intuitively know everything about the role. It is usually as people have mentioned relationship dependent, a bit of personal growth and a bit of fantasy meets reality. As an example my interests are impact and sensation, that would not work for a submissive into service or into humiliation. That does not mean they are bad submissives, just not the submissives for me. Even in a total power exchange couple or a Gorean couple, like any relationship both parties have to make the relationship work in the real world, and with the personalities involved. To imagine a true submissive automatically behaves in a De Sade characterisation of a submissive or even a submissive from Laura Antoniou's Marketplace, or a compliant fucktoy, is in my view, to confuse fantasy with reality. " I didn't mean to infer that one can simple know all of the facets of being a dom, simply that being dominant or submissive is not a choice, the same as one does not choose to be gay or straight, one simply is. And I have in my life been lucky enough to encounter a true submissive, in that it was her defining characteristic | |||

I accept everyone is different, but I have seen too many say they are either dom or sub but in their kink journey they switch. However in terms of a submissive, I think the person's personality should be their defining characteristic and submission an aspect of it. As people have pointed out submission takes different forms, and I would have to understand more what is meant by "submission being a defining characteristic". I would hope it does not mean being a door mat. As the door mat view of submissives is a potential red flag of an abuser. But your view is as valid as anybodies for what you want. I just don't believe that having a personal view of what a submissive should be means anyone that does not match that personal view is not a true submissive. | |||

"These may or may not exist, but Fab is probably a bad place to find them. " I have met and spoken to excellent submissives, doms, and switches on Fab. | |||

" With all due respect, to bring the term 'abuser' and 'red flag' into this conversation is completely unwarented! As a dom, my submissives safety and happiness are my fist concern, ALWAYS! | |||

"You can be a true submissive without living it 24/7 Most submissives have lives and jobs " This. Everyone’s definition of a “true” submissive will be different. | |||
