So for the s-types why do you obey? It is because it is expected, is it because you have decided to, or does it just happen---you obey even when your mind is telling you not to? Or is there another reason? I obey because...it's expected. I obey because I've made the conscious decision to obey. I obey because it's automatic. There are a lot of reasons, and circumstances behind my obedience to D. He does expect me to obey, although he doesn't normally expect me to drop everything and do it RIGHT THIS SECOND...unless he tells me that he needs it done RIGHT THIS SECOND. He also understands that, in many cases, I make a conscious decision to obey. And sometimes, my brain, my fears, and my desires are in direct opposition in regards to obeying whatever request he's made of me. Sometimes my brain and desires win. Sometimes my fears win. I don't get punished when my fears win. For every time I have to pause after given a command, and have that little internal argument with myself, there are at least a dozen more times that I simply do as I'm told, and do it happily, without even pausing to think about it. It hasn't always been that way. As I've grown within the relationship, the internal arguments have become fewer and fewer, and the contented, automatic obedience has become more and more frequent. For me, my obedience to D is an incredibly complex thing, and is difficult to express in words. If I keep trying, I'm going to wind up with a four page long response full of rambling odds and bits...
