I don't have a problem with that. But putting your life in another person's hands that's just as flawed as you are is not respectable, and really rather dumb.
I disagree. In a sexually dominant/submissive relationship, the sub places a lot of trust in the dom by relinquishing her control of the situation. In return the dom has free range to do as he wishes, but his ultimate goal is to fulfill both his own and the sub's sexual desires. He could focus solely on himself, but that would make him a bad dom because you are not giving your partner any reason to continue this type of relationship. The sub trusts that her dom intuitively knows what she finds pleasurable and what she does not.
Same applies to a regular dom/sub relationship. Again the sub puts trust in the dom that he will do what is in her best interest.
