I think of it as "breaking" the will in terms of training and educating it, like breaking a horse, not shattering it into pieces. Willing compliance, complete engagement, yielding in mind and body, melding into a team is the aim, not trauma that leaves the person a mindless shell.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is what I would have liked to say but you have said it better. I'm a little rough around the edges.

I have a different take on this. I think of it as "breaking" the will in terms of training and educating it, like breaking a horse, not shattering it into pieces. Willing compliance, complete engagement, yielding in mind and body, melding into a team is the aim, not trauma that leaves the person a mindless shell.

And what a beautiful companionship it is when you are able to gain the horse's trust that you will be a worthy leader.

pyro, even if you'd previously been molded by a Domme, and had some of those "rough edges" polished, your current Domme might still need or want to change some things about you to fit what she wants. My Master has somewhat similar expectations and playstyle in common with my previous Dominant, but I still needed to change in some ways to suit him. A big part of submission for me is feeling that sense of yielding, feeling like I'm almost an extension of him, where resisting what he wants from me is *much* harder than doing something that is difficult for me. When I had a submissive in the past, we also made a wonderful team in that respect.

Thanks, DominaSola, I agree, and think that is true of D/s relationships as well.

if by Dommes I mean life experiences and by molding I mean reconditioning....

yes please. Sign me up.

Until then I will continue to make myself as worthy/mutable as possible.
