His love for you is overriding his Dominance. That could be a Great thing, a good thing or a bad thing. That’s totally up to you. What do you want more to be at the forefront of your dynamics? His love or his Dominance? If this is bothering you that much you need to talk to him. I was talking to a submissive just yesterday about how most Doms will not show their emotional side because it will make them think they are weak.
Good luck with this.
This is very well-put. It is what you make of it! If what you want is for him to love you and satisfy you, but also simply be "the one in charge", then perfect! You found a partner who really matches you, and that's not always the case.
Some submissives truly do want to feel darker, more scary things. If you read some of the profiles around here, you'll see people talking about pushing their limits, and sometimes pushing past them when they feel they deeply trust their Dom. Everybody's different.
That doesn't have to be you, if that's not who you are at your core. You don't need to prove anything to anybody, not yourself nor your Dom or anyone else.
If your ideal enjoyment of being dominated is simply feeling his powerful energy during sex, then keep doing that!
If you're curious to experience just a tiny bit more pain, or something else just a liiiittle bit more scary, then discuss it with your Dom, and see how you both feel about it. Try acting it out in words or spoken form first, before doing it in reality.
When dominant, I, too, still want to be lovingly passionate. I like to be strong & powerful and get what I want, but I also desperately need my submissive to be aroused and satisfied by the experience, too. Otherwise, why would she want to keep submitting?
So, yes, it is possible and perfectly fine to have a relationship where the love and care is just as strong as the dominance and submission. It's a beautiful thing! It's not for everybody, but if it feels right for you, then damn, hang on to this one, make them overwhelmingly satisfied, ...and they'll do the same for you!
