First, thank you for the well considered & thoughtful reply.

Second, I do think there is a major difference between expressing emotional vulnerability with your Domme in a collared & dedicated relationship vs a more limited one.

Third, I do have relationships with several Dommes that are so long-standing & deep that they have told me they love me & I have genuinely responded in kind. So, its not that I am emotionally closed off with my Dommes when they initiate it. But, I think of vulnerability as being able to open up & share my innermost thoughts (both good & bad) & that is where I was coming from in my reply.

Finally, I think it's awesome that you were able to experience something so transformative. I actually have had too many experiences to count where I have put similar levels of trust in a Domme during play & actually have never had a bad experience when doing that. I have just never felt vulnerable while doing that in the way you did during that experience.
