ORIGINAL: zardozlash hello , I would add just a thought to the wonderful advises already given , for me a master needs 4 qualities: care attentiveness empathy and above all consistency. I guess that with all that you are o the path of becoming a fantastic master Good luck and fair winds In my opinion this is the best advice so far consistancy is the one important element that is missing from many dominants. Without consistency you have little strength. Anyone can learn to flog, add nipple clamps, tie someone up and anyone can order about but very few people have the ability to remain consistant. Men, especially, are brought up to please women. I don't mean in a submissive way but in a 'keep them happy and keep them sweet' Many men don't have the ability to say 'NO' but use words like 'perhaps' or 'maybe'. Perhaps and maybe give hope to those who don't want to be dominated because they are words that can be used for manipulation. Submissives don't want to manipulate and don't want to be given the opportunity to manipulate. Use words like 'Yes you can' or 'no you can't' and 'DONT' waver or be riddled with guilt if you refuse something. Up until meeting Steve I was the most manipulative woman with my partners. I could always, always get them to change their minds. I could always make them feel guilty if I wasn't getting my own way. Once I realized I couldn't manipulate Steve because if he said 'NO' it would remain consistent I stopped trying, felt safer and respected him more than I have ever respected any man. Honesty, communication, empathy and attentiveness are all good qualities but they are also good qualities in a vanilla relationship too. All those things without consistency will not make you a leader.
