So I promise this has to do with kink but I had a thought today. I play a lot of tabletop games and almost always I'm the game master the one who runs the game. At first, it was more because there was no one else to do it. But over time even when I was enjoying playing a character I still had to be a GM. Today while I was setting up a play session for my wife I realized I have the same process. Starting out thinking a few days before. getting a tentative plan together evaluating resources and then putting it together so someone else can enjoy my work along with me. For me as a dom the setup matters. We've had quickly thrown together sessions and light bondage as a spur of the moment thing and don't get me wrong They're fun. But when I can plan it out. See her anticipation and carefully execute my plan. I don't know what it is but the set up for me is part of the fun. Laying out what we're going to use, writing down the plan, it all adds to the enjoyment of the session. And when I see how much my sub enjoys it adds to the experience for me. It may be an odd comparison but it did make me realize I need to be more mindful of preparation and not only the benefits of being able to do more complex sessions and incorporate more elements safely than can be allowed for a more spur of the moment thing. But also because I enjoy it more but because my sub enjoys it more. She sees my level of investment go up. I'm less go with the flow and more of a dom because I'm more invested in how the scene goes. It's these little realizations that help me grow as a dom and be better for my sub and myself and get to learn new things about myself not just in kink but in day to day life as well.
