We are all unique in what we want and need. I don’t have to understand other people, no matter what gender or on what side of the slash they think they are. When it comes to dominants, well … for me some look like a caricature to be painted out of a silly comic book, but this is what I think and it tells something about me, not them.
Why do they act like that? Who cares, it is their way, maybe they are inspired by porn, they are inexperienced and read a „how-to-be book” too much. It bores me to death and they are not my people, that’s all.
I met a bunch of men who had the idea a domme doesn’t fall in love, would never kiss, should be cruel and always in control, always be self-confident, or I am not a real dominant. What is that for an idea? Life is not a play, that's what some learned from a dominatrix. We are women too. We like flowers, we get lost, we cry. We don't wear latex or leather the whole day, some not at all. Some like jeans and aren’t interested in high heels and don't dominate 24/7 or want to micromanage a man.
For me, the point is, when I can’t be me and only me and the boy is disappointed because I am vulnerable and strip as much as I expect it from him… what can I say, then it is not my one. Roleplay is not life but works brilliantly for hookups.
Casual can be fun but at the end, it is a scam and endless boring after a while. It leaves us feeling empty when we crave intimacy. To be touched. Looked at. Admired. Smiled at. Laugh with someone. Feel safe, yes all the little things count also for dominant people. Feel like someone's really got you. And still, seems dominant people, it is true for men and woman, don't do that openly. That's what I learned from newbies and maybe that is the reason why some change into a caricature. I know more than one domme who prefers to be single cause they think they lose control. Well, we all want different things in our life, and that is ok too.
I often think the mistake people in the BDSM world make is not thinking some of the same rules apply as in the vanilla world. If a relationship is going to work there must be romance, communication, and both parties have to get what they want out of it, to a large extent.
Men often think a Domme is supposed to cart wheel in the room and put on a show like in the porn they've seen. Dominant females think ignoring the man's desires is synonymous to being dominant. Both are wrong and headed for disappointment.
The secret is, if you're lucky enough you can find someone whose desires match well enough you are both getting what you want out of it at the same time.
