I tend to agree with kittenfemme; love and sex are optional. The first Mistress i fell in love with didn't have much to do with D/s, but more of an S&M play. Today i am deeply in love with the person i call Mistress. I believe our D/s relationship, and our partnership have thrived because of our love.

But if she was to tell me she was lending me off to one of her Dommes for the night, and i felt safe with that person i could very easily be there as a servant, a pain slut, or a sexual slut, and i feel i would enjoy the experience very much. ( as long as they respect my safe play, and sex practices )
