Just out of curiosity then, how submissive is to submissive?
Obviously, I can't speak for everyone because this is a matter of what they view to be suitably submissive. I personally feel people can be submissive without sacrificing everything to fulfill that role.
There are plenty of people who are going about their life normally but in the bedroom, they love to let the girl take control. Some like to be pegged all the time and some like to be tied up. There's tons of stuff so whatever floats their boat right?
The submissiveness I find a little too much is the extreme levels some people go to. On another site, I had someone desperately beg me to send abusive, degrading and humiliating things. I politely declined since I'm not really an ultra-abusive kind of dom. Then I was asked if I would send it to his work and personal email so he could see off-site how worthless he was (he sent his facebook page with all his contact details).
It was kind of a weird request and even if that were my thing, I had no idea if this wasn't someone setting another person up for abuse. I got another PM a day later and he attached a separate picture of himself holding the current date, my name asking to be abused and his personal info again just to prove it was him and at that point I didn't bother replying.
What's too much for me is the complete desperation and pathetic persona they adopt to fulfill their submissive desires. Some people are too willing to destroy any dignity they have on the whims of a dominant partner just for a few minutes of pleasure.
