The first thing that pops into mind when someone ask me about the lifestyle is always respect. Dominance isn't just a sexual term described in a sense of predator to prey. It's a term for an essential part of a balanced relationship. It's a sense of being. A state of mind. It's the respect that allows a person to see who you really are, to reach a depth inside of you that even you haven't fully explored yet. It's letting me see what you find in yourself to be ugly, disturbing, or different. Letting me inside your soul, into your deepest s, regrets, fantasies... And allowing yourself to confide in them together with judgement. Even Doms have s and things buried deep inside that they wish no one else to see. BDSM for me is for both parties, submitting to each other and letting yourselves become one. It's respect, hope, encouragement, fault, and satisfaction. It's the essence of our beings.
