Thoughts on a cloud

Just a random collection of life stories, including many bizarre things that happen to me

Bear with me on this one,

While I've not had a huge amount of experience comparative to others in BDSM, my experience means that I know some key things about myself.

I am a Dom, I've tried Subbing for a few people but they either lacked imagination or passion for it so we both got bored easily, in fact halfway through once my partner asked at the time if we could switch ... which did add an interesting dynamic to that session.

But a question I ask myself often is can I be relied upon to be an effective Dom if I can't first master myself. key mistakes in my past have been me being too focused on what I enjoy and not enough on the subs experience, attempting shibari with rope that wasn't suitable (it was waaaay to short and it looked ridiculous) to just not having thought out scenes properly.

I chalk most of this up to learning experience, my partners were never in any danger, and I always respected given limits.

but recently I've also been considering myself physically, are Doms not supposed to be physically imposing? What does it say about me if my stamina doesn't outlast my partners?

Weird almost adolescent worries, but ones that I think should be considered by every Dom, if you cant manage to master yourself, can you truly master another?

 

Something to think on perhaps?

SageFlame​(sub female) - A thought provoking piece indeed.

Your question about Doms being physically imposing, though I think it rhetorical, I'd like to say dominance I submit to has no relation to physicality.

Moonlighter​(dom male) - You raise a great point, perhaps it would be better to say that rather then physically imposing, its about having a presence if that makes sense. I'm probably not doing a great job of explaining it.

SirsBabyDoll​(sub female){Pizza+☕} - I agree with Sage. As n example, my own Dom is shorter than me by about an inch...until I get on my knees that is.

It's presence, not physical mass that matters more in my view. While a taller-than-me man is sexy as fuck and intially feels like he is dominant, the reality is that there have been MANY men that were taller and took up more mass than I do and just didn't make me feel submissive. Hell, I tended to just bowl them over and brush them to the side.

It's the amount of space you take up within a person and not within a room that decides is someone is THAT PERSON'S Dominant or not.

rosethorn​(sub female) - This is something i try to explain every so often and many 'Doms' don't seem to grasp what im saying. If you can't show disaplin and mastery over yourself then 1, how do you expect to have mastery over any situation or sub 2, if you don't have disaplin and mastery over yourself then why should a sub offer you mastery over them? (Many can't answer this question).

There is only one thing you can control and that is you. Everything else tries to distract or sedate you from doing this. You need mastery over yourself before it is over others. Otherwise how would you know what you want and what kind of traits would work well with you?

Having a sub for many 'Doms' is a good distraction and sedation away from focusing on themselves first, but it will always fail because you can only control yourself.

Disaplin, integrity, morals and ethics.

rosethorn​(sub female) - Good blog post, humility is important too. You would be surprised how many domes have never thought why a sub would be willing to submit.

SageFlame​(sub female) - Mastering yourself in my opinion has more to do with finding your flow; not emulating or following what others have done.

You mention true mastery. This is something to contemplate. I'm learning everyday. I've gathered the understanding that a Mastery within a dynamic is much to do with adaptation. Two unique individuals connecting and forming a unique dynamic. True mastery might have something to do with truly knowing a subs heart and soul.

I think this whole arena of bdsm, D/s and kink is one of the most fascinating I've ever encountered. Also the most meaningful when it comes to human connections.

Mistakes are not failures if we learn from them. I'm always distrustful of those who have a persona of perfection.

Focus on adjustments rather than right or wrong. Your self reflection and transparency will go a long way. I enjoy reading your posts.

Naya - Ever thought about finding a mentor?

Or just a Dom friend you can talk this stuff over with.

It might help x
