Do you consider your submission a gift?

Really short answer is no. I often take a very negative view toward this phrase and just have come to realize it has to do with my spirituality. I embrace the view that all things are equal and differences are just differences and not to be judged better or right versus wrong.

Some will try to bend it that they should be or will cherish the other person but then that really is just another way of saying they expect mutual love in the relationship. Of course that way it is a gift but I do not buy for one second people who do use that phrase are trying to express that thought.

What they are expressing is they want their submission to be considered special, Better/more then others in other relationship dynamics. This is just delusional and unhealthy thinking if they are serious in this thought. For us meant to live a power exchange dynamic is because it is a best fit for us. Not because it is the best dynamic and only a few of us can live it. We live it because it gives us the best possibility of having happiness and love in our life not because we give more of ourselves then other people in other relationships.

Also it simply is not a gift if you are expecting something of equal value in return which most of us if not all are.
