What about the sub truly knowing the Dom/me? I see a lot about the necessity of full disclosure on the part of the sub, but it seems that Dom/mes are allowed, or even expected, to keep themselves to themselves. Not to lie, of course, except possibly by omission, but there's certainly less expectation of telling every little thing.

In part, I understand this. Knowledge is power, and in an unequal power relationship, there could be unequal knowledge of each other. But still, this sometimes seems to go too far, IMHO.
