For me, being the Master means that I can dictate the nature of the relationship. It means that I'm allowed to be compassionate, instead of being forced to be self-protective, because I know that if my needs are threatened, I can have them met by fiat. Paradoxically, being the Dominant allows me to focus more attention on my partners - I can afford to be more vulnerable and compassionate because I have explicit permission to correct any of the issues that usually punish vulnerability and compassion.
