Simple answer - If you have any fear regarding entering or being in a bdsm relationship, you shouldn't be in one
Before entering an agreement, it is important that it should be discussed between the Master and slave as what is to be expected by BOTH of them, emotionally and physically. If there are any doubts, walk away - you should never enter into something you feel may hurt you. Fear and BDSM should never be said in the same sentence, it must be all about trust.
If you are one of those that get emotionally attached too easily, you should never ever get involved in this sort of relationship as it could turn into an abusive relationship.

The question is, What is a fear of YOURS regarding entering into or being in a D/S relationship? So your answer could have easily been, "None, I have no fears intering into a D/S relationship. As I would have discussed... yada yada yada.
I think the issue that some here have had is your way, intentional or not, of telling others how they should or shouldn't feel and/or act in their own lives. What may or may not work for you in life may not be the same for others.

Well, by now, she's pretty well expressed her purpose for her posts. But BDSM isn't exempt from all the rules and traits of relationships in general, and this discussion stayed in bounds...until it was hijacked and went off the rails for a non-subject related reason.
I have a hard time seeing such a discussion driving away people who otherwise are interested in trying out a new lifestyle (or kink, as it were). It's just a thread on a website, big deal.
You know LM, there are easier ways to get mentioned on others' blogs. But this might work.

Looks like we need to move this into the 'spanking' area...
