*hugs* i guess like you said earlier, step 1 is finding someone who is willing to play into that fantasy of yours w/o thinking that’s how you are 24/7 w no variations

ugh that’s super frustrating and i relate a lot 2 this wrt myself *offers hugs
like, I feel like I've always been very much a sub; I don't know where or when those feelings started coalescing, but I feel like it's been a stable part of me and I've known since I was young
it's not like I want to play a caricature or put on a fake accent or speak in fake shitty english or whatever
I guess it's mostly that like... I am submissive; that's part of my personality, so that I don't find contradictory... and I feel like I get off on pleasing other people? with friendships I wouldn't use the word "get off", but I'm very happy when I see my friends happy, and I feel like being in this submissive role would let me please the whims of my dom/me and I just reaaaaally like that idea
and like, this eroticism of violability, I do think part of it is internalized misogyny, and part of it is being a #rape survivor, but, idk, there's suuuuuch a fine line between pushing a person's limits and being very tender with aftercare and crossing over into something that's actually more like rape/coercion and a triggering faux-aftercare (which I have experienced at the hands of multiple men)
thinking about it now, I def think part of the violability thing is that I want to have control and agency over a situation that could potentially resemble rape, but where I get to define the limits and how it goes and the terms of my aftercare, and, god, I'm tearing up right now because I feel like a proper, genuinely caring bdsm relationship would really, truly be therapeutic for me
