About Me, indeed. I turned 50 recently and also celebrated My 25th wedding anniversary. I discovered by nature around 23 or 24 years ago and have balanced that and home life in a polyamorous arrangement since.
I identify as a Daddy Dom and by that I mean One who in many respects is identical to what you'd expect from an decent Master, but more caring; nurturing; protective of My ward, My babygirl. It's never been an ageplay thing for Me, and that actually put Me off the term for the longest time, until My misunderstanding was corrected and I learned that was the label that best captured My persona.
There's a track on a Wallflowers album called Babybird https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukkncg7Zam4 that always makes Me think about cradling My girl, holding her close, letting her feel close, protected, cherished. They lyrics don't match the sentiment exactly, but they get close.
Well, that's a start on the book of Moi, but it's really only the dust jacket. I hope you might find it interesting enough to pick up this book, open the cover and browse a little deeper.
What a Dom is, in the words of a much missed little one who was describing what I was to her:
you don't have to toot your horn about what you have done . Your experience or what you can do... It shows in who you are..
Patient
A gentleman
Respectful
Able to anticipate their needs, physical, mental, emotional, etc.. without having to be told .. even when they don't see it's what they need
Communicative, almost daily, if not multiple times a day
Nurturing
Motivating
Painfully honest
The place one can go and feel safe to be themselves.. to give any and everything without judgement
Affectionate
Firm when needed but always in a safe way that is for their greatest good
Always growing and learning, trying to better themselves and those around them
Patient when having to teach one the same lesson.. again and again .. because sometimes learning takes practice
A listener as much as a talker
Aware that they too, make mistakes
Imperfect
Comfortable in their own skin
A Dom is like the moon, always there.. even when one doesn't see it.. always giving their light, watching over, changing and unchanging
A Dom is a constant for their one...
A Dom is just as much a gem as any sub, little, slave, or pet.
