ORIGINAL: Plasticine Yes your assumption is correct, and a worthwhile addition. When I project the highly suggestible are strongly affected. OK, so which is it? Parlour trick or actual domination? If you're still talking parlour tricks, then I have no comment. If you're talking actual domination, then the answer is a lot more complicated. The only answer I ever came up with to this question is that I cannot NOT influence those around me strongly. Therefor, I must be careful to do so in ways which are positive and beneficial. Put differently, I have a very strong ability to see that if I respond in this way, then that will happen. Because I frequently see interactions in this way, I cannot not manipulate a situation. If you have the knowledge that pressing a given button will result in X, then whether you press it or not, you are making a choice. I learned somewhere about the age of 25 that while I will always be influential/manipulative/whatever, the choices I make define who I am as a human being. I started making much wiser choices. Now, clearly, when you put someone like me around someone like Carol who is highly malleable and trusts me a great deal... that pretty much means I have the keys to the kingdom. I manipulate and mold her shamelessly in ways that have, in the past, horrified friends and acquaintances. The reason I am shameless about it is that the choices I am making are not ones I am ashamed of. What more is there? edited to add And for me, it is not nor has it ever been about "consent". Both with Carol and in the world at large I do such things without asking permission. I don't have a "consent fetish" like the rest of the BDSM world. I focus on "being good".
