It is impossibly difficult to look at someone who has been abused, and not feel guilty for being lucky. For those of us who find peace in submission, we run an eternal risk of not knowing if the man we have chosen to call Master is deserving. Indeed, i myself have met such "Masters".
The one who thinks it is all a game. The one who uses it as an excuse to only recieve. The one who uses it as an excuse to take out all that pent up anger and frustration. These wolves in sheep's clothing are so easy to miss, it is scary.
i have been lucky enough not to have had "encounters" with such Masters. In so many cases luck is all that it has to do with. A woman (or man, for that matter) can go into a relationship strong...willful, but fear is a corrosive agent, and it eats away everything that person was. This is not just the case with those of us in a D/s relationship, but with any and all relationships, from family, to friends to lovers.
