&lt;span class="postbody"&gt;1.) What are the 3 most important values for you in a D/s relationship?
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Connection (alignment, belonging, open &amp;amp; honest communication)
&lt;br /&gt;
Respect (based on trust)
&lt;br /&gt;
Fulfilling (in that the dynamic improves life) 
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
2.) What is your preferred method of punishment, and what about funishment?
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Not enough experience with straight punishment and I don’t like to do the ‘wrong’ thing or get in trouble/disappoint. I could see it working with me in certain (and clear) circumstances. I have some adversity to punishment due to past experiences and confusions.
&lt;br /&gt;
More experienced with funishment in the form of spanking, edging, orgasm denial, challenging tasks - things that I like but that can also be frustrating or extending (outside of comfort zone). Funishment does not make me break rules; it can actually help me remember protocols.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
3.) What is the biggest mistake you have made as Dominant, submissive, or switch?
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
No biggest mistake per se, but rather, some mistakes stemming from ignorance (participating without being informed or sufficiently safe), not vetting, trusting too easily and making assumptions.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
4.) What is the best thing to you about being a Dominant, submissive, or switch?
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Depth, connection, vibrancy, belonging
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
5.) What is your biggest struggle in being a Dominant, submissive, or switch?
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The transitioning between states ie. returning to life demands and responsibilities. I don’t wanna. Transitioning between anything is hard.
&lt;br /&gt;
My duality  - I hate and love it 🙄
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
