First off, to each His own.
Secondly:
Comments like this always make me frown. Perhaps I miss the point completely and would appreciate to be educated.
What is submission if it doesn't include obedience. I'm not talking about blind obedience....mindless 'YesSir'. But obedience out of a desire to please Him. But when her obedience doesn't please Him...... Why does He then have her? she is missing out on the deep satisfaction of knowing that she obeyed and He was pleased. Because He feels like she should rather be playing games??
If obeying Him is boring to Him perhaps He needs to (a) rethink the necessity of the task and (b) look for a vanilla partner who likes to be spanked on occasion, not a submissive.
Then again, One partner calls me a brat. W/we enjoy the fun and banter. Teasing Him is fun and even skirting on the edge is something that energises U/us both. But when He commands, I obey. I will ask for leniency when needed, I will ask questions and clarification... BUT I obey. This is the very foundation of D/s.
I believe myself to be challenging as a submissive. Not because I willfully disobey but because I expect a lot from my Him. I have a good mind and am not lazy to use it. I don't submit to anyOne and those who have my submission have shown Themselves to be worthy of it. They worked for it.....as I worked for Their Dominance.
I realise there isn't a 'one way' of D/s, but this seems to go to the very nature and fabric of What Domination and submission is.
