My sweet friend, you ask such tough questions. One of the reasons I enjoy our talks so much. Well, I got to answer the sub questions. Now I'll flick the switch and try these ones on for size.

When we fully submit to you, how does it make you feel? What does it do for you?

There is a satisfaction in seeing all the training "take" and actually hold, in seeing your mind make the concious choice to serve Me and do as I wish. I don't pick "easy" girls, I seem to enjoy a challenge. Strong willed women. And as such it makes that submission all the sweeter to witness. Seeing a woman submit makes Me proud, and content.

What about when we are pleasing? When we disappoint you?

"How does it feel when a sub is pleasing me? Well, pleasurable…. Sorry had to. Again, for me it heightens the normal pleasure. Ok, simple scale of 1-10If getting a blowjob from your girlfriend is a 2, and getting a really good blowjob is a 4, then getting one from a sub at your command or because she is determined to please is an 11."

Havensov's answer mayb have been a bit cheeky but I can still echo the concept and agree with him. It's hard to explain why exactly things feel more pleasureable coming from a sub who chooses of their own free will to serve... it just does. I haven't been a Dom in my time as much as I've been a sub so I can't give a better answer than that, yet. Perhaps in time.

If a sub is dissapointing, it depends on what happened. Simply failinag a task can range from mildly displeasing to rather highly upsetting, depending on the nature of the failure and the task. But the constant is, assuming the sub is serious about her submission, that if a sub doesn't obey a command of some kind I do take it as a failure on my part to have trained you as fully as you needed. It doesn't mean it crushes me inside anytime a sub doesn't follow my commands to the letter, but the teacher analogy above is quite sensible.

When we top from the bottom?

This depends... some subs do it on purpose and their Masters enjoy putting them in their place so to speak. Others are totally intollerant of it. Myself, I walk a fine line. I like strong willed, confident women. Ones that don't necessarily give in easily. But once someone chooses to give in, I expect them to mean it and frankly not make me fight for inches. You either give in or you don't and topping from the bottom is a game I won't tolerate for all that long. I don't ever want a doormat by any stretch of the imagination, but at the same time I don't want to have a power struggle either. As a switch, that is quite franklly an unfair game to play with me personally.

What about if you don't have a current sub/slave?

I've never had a "full time" sub. For me, I think it would take a very special woman to hold that role with me. I admit I do have a desire for it. But she'd have to meet a very specific set of criteria for me to take on a full time sub. I'm still learning what some of those criteria are.

What do you get out of it all? What brings you back for more? Allows you to put up with all the trouble we give you?

I get a few things. One, there is a discipline that comes with being the Dominant in a relationship, a responsibility of the role. I enjoy the challenge that it presents. Both for myself to maintain a certain style, as well as the challenge of training a sub. From either side of the D/s coin I enjoy the incredible intimacy one can build in this lifestyle, the trust and respect that must surely develop for the whole thing to work. Of course, I enjoy a degree of the sexuality of it all. That goes without saying, but really it's the trust, the respect, the satisfaction of seeing a sub serve and serve well that is at least, if not moreso, appealing. What would bring me back for more would have to do very much with the individual, and their own personality.

What allows me to put up with all the trouble? Simple. I don't just love women, I happen to like them too.

Well that's my try at answering, I hope it helped you my friend. I guess I probably have a somewhat unique take on this, but hopefully it still provided a bit of useful info in there.
