I'm a dominant male, and I think that, for me at least, it has to do with the need to protect, to be someone's safe place. For somebody to trust you with their entirety, and to know that even if you screw up, you will be forgiven. I have my sub's well being at the forefront of my mind, often before my own. The idea of pushing her a little bit, but not too much, to expand her horizons and show her new heights in her mind.( and it is mainly mental wouldn't you all say?). I've seen a private scene between a loving dom and sub do what therapy couldn't, and I've heard of it damaging people when it's done wrong. The realiziation that you're playing with fire can often scare someone when they're getting into it. It's feeling special, because someone trusts you enough to give themselves. I think that often, society portrays dominance as angry, vicious, painful, loud. But who gains more authority? The one screaming and yelling to a subordinate or one who is calm, collected, confidant? I think we both know the answer to that. For a while I wondered what I was, whether I was some sort of evil for having this inside me (and an ultrareligious unbringing didn't help one bit). But then I saw in it that, yes, I was dominant, but I did it because I loved protecting, not harming. Takethiswaltz, I love the way you think, I think the same, I hope I helped some ^_^
