Rights, as a Submissive....
I have the right to set limits, and expect them to be respected. I have
the right to adjust these limits at any time, with notice to you. I have
the right to expect you to push them, to force me to create new limits
and boundaries.
I have the right to privacy. I expect you to be concerned about time we
spend apart, but I expect you to understand that I am a person, seperate
from you, and thusly having problems and situations in my life that I
will not need your help with. I have the right to expect you will
respect me for my independence and not criticize me for it. I have the
right to ask you for help, should I need it. I have the right to be
trusted, providing I have earned it, and I have the right to expect you
to believe I am an intelligent, caring and loyal person.
I have the right to ask things of you, and have you listen to my
requests. I have the right to ask for your attention, without having to
misbehave to get it. I have the right to ask you to contribute as much
to this relationship as I do. As long as my requests are submitted
respectfully, I expect you to consider them as you would from any friend
or colleague. I have the right to question your motives, should you deny
my requests, as long as I do so with the proper respect.
I have the right to expect you to administer your punishment with care
and caution. I have the right to use my safewords at any point, should I
feel them necessary. I have the right to get up and walk away from a
scene if you have crossed the line. I have the right to expect you to
respect my desicions, and not think less of me, or abandon me for them.
I have the right to speak up if I feel our relationship is not giving me
what I need. I have the right to tell you what I need, in a respectful
manner. I have the right to expect you to understand my reasons for
doing so, and the right to expect you to listen with an open mind. I
have the right to walk away from the relationship if we cannot come to a
common ground on these issues.
I have the right to expect tenderness, love and understanding after a
scene is completed, should it be what I desire. I have the right to ask
you for that tenderness if I've had a bad day, or if I just feel the
need for closeness. I understand that there will be times when you and I
will disagree about this - when you will want a scene, and I will not. I
have the right to call for a talk about this, and to expect you to
listen to and consider my reasonings. I expect you to have the final
word, but I expect you to wholeheartedly consider my feelings, whatever
they may happen to be.
I have the right to expect our relationship to progress, for trust to
continually be renewed, for our souls to be as close as our bodies are.
I have the right to tell you if I need more from you, and I expect you
to respect my decisions about what I want and need. I expect you to want
the relationship to progress, unless decided otherwise before hand. I
expect you to understand that deep trust often breeds love, and I expect
you not to repell me if I tell you that I love you. For, my master, I
will love you, should our relationship move ahead, should our trust
continue to grow. I have the right to expect you to tell me, at any
point, if you do not feel you can return those feelings, so that I may
decide what I want and need. For it is your pleasure that adds to my
own, makes it real. And mine, that adds to yours.
