I sat down after a long day, stretching out a bit. I tapped my leg, "Selene, come here please." I said, looking for my pet. Selene came in a few moments later, kneeling ahead of me, her hands on her knees. She looked towards the ground, but said, "Yes Master? What do you need?" I smiled down at her, and tapped on the top of my knee. She looked up and smiled, inching forward, and putting her folded hands on the top of my knee. I petted her head softly, looking down at her lovingly. "I just needed a pretty face to look at after a long day, that's all." I said, still petting her head. She just smiled up and me, and started murring softly. "Of course Master, whatever you need." She said, a big content smile on her face.
People always think that a Dom/sub relationship is all about pain and control. It's not. While pain and bondage IS a part of it, it's actually a minor part in the relationship. A true Dom/sub relationship is built on love, dedication, and trust. That's something a lot of people forget about when they look at a Dom/sub relationship.
In a Dom/sub relationship, a sub is giving up all of their freedom, willingly, to their Dom, and in return, the Dom makes sure that their number one concern is their sub. In a way, a Dom takes all of the weight of the world off of their sub's shoulders, to put it on their own shoulders instead.
The sub then listens to everything that their Dom says, and obeys without question. The Dom then tries to make sure that their playtime is fun and safe, and that they don't over do it. As I always kid around about when I mention a Dom/sub relationship, "The Dom has no power in the relationship. They think they do, but that's just because the sub lets them think that." xD In a true Dom/sub relationship, it's the sub who has all of the power.
Now, I know that seems like an oxymoron, especially after what I said earlier. However, here's the way I see it: Yes, the sub gives up their freedom to their Dom, and yes, the Dom gets to order them around. However, if the Dom goes too far, and the sub has to use the safeword and end the playtime, then they will be VERY leery about ever letting the Dom take control again, and they could even not let them do it at all. That's why a Dom should give all of their love and attention to their sub, and try to do their best to make their sub happy. For if they don't, then the sub can take away their power totally.
From the sounds of all of this, I'm sure it sounds like being a Dom/sub is very complicated, but it's really not. It's very simple: Just love and respect each other and your limits, and always follow the three S's: Safe, Sane, and conSensual. If you do all of that, then I'm sure you'll have lots of fun in a Dom/sub relationship.
Thanks for reading my thoughts about all of this, and I hope this helps you to understand the dynamic involved in this kind of relationship. ^^
The lovely pic above here was a commission I got from the super talented shadowdrgon_f0x. You should go give her a watch, and maybe get a commission from her! She works fairly quickly, and always delivers more then you expect. Also, her prices are EXTREMELY reasonable (maybe even too much so! xD)
