Submission as a conscious choice about where, how and with whom power is exchanged: I submit to a person because she needs my submission and we love each other.

I think this is also where a lot of people outside BDSM misunderstand submission. For many people, it is deeply tied to trust, emotional connection, care, and conscious choice rather than blind obedience or performance.

“Because she needs my submission and we love each other” also says more about the emotional reality of power exchange than a lot of long explanations ever could.
