The Nature Of Submissives

[lupestripe]

Are submissives generally selfless creatures who wish to make others happy, or do they have self-esteem issues that are only alleviated by the opportunity to serve and make their masters happy? I really don't know my own take on it.

(And yep I am being way to psychoanalytical and I know you can't generalise completely - just interested in the psychological mechanisms)

To be honest, I wrote it in response to your post so it's not your fault for missing it lols.

I completely agree with everything you say - I certainly think that's an element. I enjoy making Master happy and that is what I live to do - making him happy, makes me happy. In some respects, it's a more transparent form of how a relationship should be anyway.
