D/S Relationship

Shadow Crest (92.4657,63.9117,42.4779)

At the heart of the D/s relationship is the power exchange. The submissive voluntarily and willing gives his or her power to the Dom/me. The relinquishing of control and responsibility to another can be erotic for the submissive because that loss of control serves to free the sub from inhibitions which may inhibit pleasure.
Subs serve out of a desire to please their Master or Mistress. Obedience, honesty and trust are required of subs, and the D/s relationship cannot exist without these.
This is not just about sex. It is a lifestyle, one where the words courtesy, respect, honesty, trust, honor and integrity still have meaning.
To me, it is a lifestyle of grace and beauty.
Good manners and proper forms of address are important.
