Profile Pieces: Dusty Laviscu on Submission

I enjoy reading Profiles. I spend significant thought and effort on mine. Here's a piece from Dusty Laviscu's Profile that I find worth sharing.

Submission is not a sign of weakness or inferiority. *Submission does not indicate lack of intelligence or motivation. Most subs are very intelligent, creative & are highly motivated people. *Submission is not a hidden desire for pain or humiliation.*Submission is not the same as passivity. Subs are not passive. They participate actively & are thinking individuals. *Submission is not something that can be demanded or forced. The definition of the word means it is a willing act. A sub submits because they have chosen to do so, not because someone forced them. *Submission is not a miserable state of existence. Most subs are happy, well balanced people who are simply fulfilling their nature. *Submission is not slavery. A sub has not given up their right to choose but has given some of those choices to another to make for them. They have input into their relationship & maintain their identity.*Submission does not indicate sexual promiscuity. Subs are not sex crazed nymphomaniacs who cannot control their drives.
