You did what to who for how many cookies? Your post is exceedingly difficult to read, dude, and I'm wondering if there's a bridge missing it's troll. Anyway, by my personal definition, "master" is a measure of skill moreso than a category or inclination. So and so is a master of something - a skill, a property. The word means different things to different people, but that's my personal feelings on the matter. By my definition, no, someone cannot just wake up and decide they are a master, as that is something you grow into. Can someone wake up and just decide they are dominant? Eh, I imagine it isn't so simple as something that happens over night, but I am sure there are those that have had such epiphanies. How a person comes to realize who they are and where their inclinations lie are as unique as the person. Dominance and submission does not equate to abuse. Sure, there are unethical people in the BDSM community, as there are in every walk of life, but I think it is a wild injustice to assume that it's the norm. Someone can have a D/s or M/s dynamic devoid of S&M...and regardless, I really don't see how "beating" someone that consents to it is abuse, provided all parties are consenting with sound mind (not having been coerced) and their limits are respected. You are also assuming a male Dominant/sadist, female submissive/masochist... which is an incredibly narrow (and skewed) perspective! What about the plethora of other dynamics and orientations that exist?
