Strength and BDSM

No, not the strength to hoist a slave up into the rafters, or keep them pinned to the mattress.
Not the strength to stand on tip toe, kneel, withstand bondage or impact play.
I’m talking about the inner strength that is needed to:
A) Be Dominant over another person
Be submissive to another person
Let’s start with B.
A submissive doesn’t submit because of weakness. It takes incredible strength to put your safety, health and wellbeing into another person’s hands.
Even a person that just wants someone to take over their lives so they don’t have to worry about finances, decision making or life challenges, HAS to have the strength to trust implicitly, follow rules and protocols, accept guidance and discipline, but most of all to follow through on the commitment.
Often the daily life of a submissive can be more difficult than the finances, decisions and life challenges, but now the submissive has a Dominant to guide them. But the commitment to the Dominant is a singular decision and commitment, rather than multiple decisions in life.
A submissive must have the strength to strive to fulfill the Dominants wants, needs and desires, as well as instructions. The strength to keep the Dominant happy in life, so they can be happy together.
As for A.
A Dominant needs strength to take on the responsibility for another’s safety, health and wellbeing. Obviously, this is similar to being a parent. And like parenting, the Dominant is responsible for another’s care, upkeep, nurturing, guidance and happiness. Unlike parenting, the submissive won’t be moving out onto their own. We hope that it is a lifelong commitment, which also requires strength.
A Dominant must have the strength to stand by his decisions that are made for the good of the submissive, even if they sadden the submissive. He must have the strength for “tough love”.
A Dominant must have the strength to stand by the submissive thought self-doubts, anguish from outside the relationship and illness. The strength to keep the Submissive happy in life and so they can be happy together.
These strengths that are needed, are not done with muscles. They are accomplished with mental and emotional strength, fortitude and a desire to be the best Dominant or submissive that their partner could ask for.
BDSM is not about physical strength. It is about inner strength.

This is an excellent blog. But I can see some might have an issue with this…”The strength to keep the Dominant happy in life, so they can be happy together.” As a sub I can do everything I can, but I cannot guarantee a persons happiness.

Nothing in life is guaranteed. All we can do is our best.

No one can "make" anyone happy as happiness comes from within. That being said I believe this in the article; "A submissive must have the strength to strive to fulfill the Dominants wants, needs and desires, as well as instructions. The strength to keep the Dominant happy in life, so they can be happy together." implies following the dominants set rules and instructions and in that way make them both happy.
That is my take on it at least.
If either is not happy with their "own" situation, no one can make them be so.

Yup, as I said above, we can only do our best. It also takes strength to accept that nothing is going to be "perfect".
