How can that be a relationship, and who could anyone want a relationship like that if if were? Love, Respect, Cherish... There has to be an actual person in order for you to have that... If all you have is a "warm and available body" you are probably better off masturbating. Maybe I am just being narrow minded, but I don't understand it... How could anyone want that? by Blizzisme on 2006 Mar 14 - 05:18 | reply to this comment About the word "submissive" While I believe myself to be submissive at heart, I prefer not to use that word with others. The reason? In my opinion, the word seems to have been co-opted by the BDSM community to mean a certain set of very specific attitudes and behaviors, not all of which describe my own submissive nature. One of the reasons that I could never embrace BDSM - having spent several months reading and conversing with others about it - was that there just seemed to be so many rules, so many unspoken - and sometimes spoken - assumptions about what "being submissive" meant. So I do believe that I have a submissive heart, but within a loving relationship, that submissiveness will likely play out in rather difficult to describe, and certainly impossible to contain, ways.

I've been reading through this beautiful site - I've read hundreds of pages and made two anonymous comments - and have been getting the very clear impression that Taken In Hand is basically a forum for women trying to clarify how they would like men to communicate with them. Or PARTICIPATE with them, to use Frank's excellent word. As a man, I hope to be a good student. I have been absolutely stunned at my change in the area of improving and admitting when I've been mistaken. I considered myself to be a very honest and kind person before, however, before beginning a Taken In Hand relationship I would never confess things to my husband or
