ELEMENTS OF A DOM/SUB and M/s RELATIONSHIP Stocsnbnds@yahoo.com Fetlife - Stocsnbnds
DISCLAIMER This discussion is about Dominant/Submissive and Master/Slave relationships. We are not talking about other forms of power exchange relationships. There are other relationships such as Owner/pet, Daddy/babygirl and so on, that also have elements of power exchange.
Defining a D/s Relationship • Power Exchange • There will be a significant amount of control by one person. • The exchange is typically not just during a scene. • There is a commitment between the people to maintain a relationship.
Relationship Types • Master or Mistress/slave • Master or Dominant or Mistress/submissive
What extent? • Part Time • Long Distance • Full time, non live-in • Full time, live-in 24/7 • Consensual Slavery
The Hierarchical Role • D/s is a question of mind over matter. • Does not require dungeon or sex toys • Submission depends on his/her will to fulfill the needs of the Dominant. • The Dominant must be able to direct the submissive’s will with his/her own. • It requires much more mental play than physical.
Know What You Want • To be served by another/serve another? • Is it fulltime? • Slave? • Exclusive relationship? • Is it just service and fun, or is a serious long-term relationship the goal?
Qualities to Look for in a Dom • NOTE: Just because he/she is a good top does not automatically mean they will be a good dominant. • Confidence without ASSHOLE
Ability • To control by will • To use toys safely • If the sub must tell the Dom how to dominant, they aren’t being dominated
