For me, the element of complete trust is absolutely key in any d/s relationship (I use this term loosely here applying just to the moment of play, maybe replace it for the word 'activity') and it really confuses me to try to understand how some people can submit so easily in this way.
Opinions please :-)
Who says it is easy? ;-)

Well, I guess there are several answers to that. One is that sometimes you simply starve because you have never tried it and want to so much, or you have tried it, and you want more! The need can be very powerful indeed, and it just sends you flying over inner barriers if indeed you have the prescense of mind to have any.

Believe me I have tried it that way, both ways! And I fell in love both times, love at first beating, as it were. The last one, where I turned Domme, we both fell in love, and I, who is a very down-to-earth-no-nonsense person, for the first time experienced what Shakespeare was all about with his Romeo and Juliet.
