Focus50 -> RE: Consensual Domination! (3/29/2008 2:17:02 PM)

This is somewhat vague but I'll take a stab by what I understand you're saying.... IMO, be it a casual or committed relationship, both parties are *NOT* equal in the decision making processes. There'll be communication, there'll be an understanding and agreement of defined limits and there'll definitely be a safeword for a casual play partner. Other than that, ALL decisions belong to *me*! As far as consent goes, I do not require consent for everything I choose to do to/with her. In agreeing to participate originally, her consent is implied no matter where I choose to take the scene - allowing for the limitations imposed in the previous paragraph. Even when I yousta play casually, I still placed a collar around her neck to signify her place in my presence and as a powerful means of setting desired headspace. It's mutually understood that it's only a "play" collar; that it only signified ownership and committment etc for the few hours or weekend we'd be together. Most forms of BDSM have a control dynamic in play. I certainly wouldn't be involved with any sub giving instruction as we go. Choices are *mine* by right and hers when I ask - that's what allows Power Exchange to flow. Overall, if she didn't trust me, she wouldn't be here! Focus.
