If you had a brief encounter with a person who was new to the lifestyle but on the path of being a Master, what one piece of advice would you be sure you mentioned?
One this I would like to add to the great things that were already mentioned, would be the concept of respect. It can't be demanded to be true...it can't be expected either if you are not able to show it and feel it first. You can command respect, but you can't demand respect (this concept was outlined by a speech in a presentation I attended held by Master Taino). I maintain respect towards my submissive, and in return; I receive not only respect but the purest desire from her to serve and please me. Too many times I've seen dominants who feel that their submissives are not entitled to respect, and if that works for you great! But my advice is that take a good look at how others behave around each other (dominants and submissives alike), and decide if you feel the quality of their relationship is something you wish to have emulated on in your potential relationships, or do you think you could improve on them...I'd rather rule with respect than have fear or some other negative emotion be the motivator.
