I can totally accept that as an answer (and not just because of what you will do to me for talking back). It was just a thought I had based on some masochists that I have played with and wanted to get your take on it. When I was writing the post I actually utilized the term "pure masochists" but thought it would come across wrong so I dropped the "pure" before posting.

I think your point about sissies is also a very good one as it is equivalent in many ways. Context is also important in the discussion as the entire point of your blog is how someone should realize which side they are on in order to identify and approach the right Domme for them in the right way. From that perspective, I think those who are purely sissies or masochists should identify as a fetishist rather than as a submissive with that as their primary fetish.
