Not a supreme being here either. I prefer to be respected because of *who* I am rather than secondary sexual characteristics. I've worked hard to self-actualize, and I have confidence because I know myself, not because someone else deems to feel me superior. That being said, do find local munches and check out the book resource listed above. Think about female icons you admire, whether she's your own grandmother, Mother Theresa, or Xena. She doesn't have to be a real life person....TV personas can work also. Make a list of the attributes you admire in each, and then cultivate those into yourself, while still BEING yourself. This is not about 'acting' unless you're doing a bit of roleplay for fun. Also, think about what leadership qualities inspire you. Submissives ALWAYS have an initial choice to submit. Unless you are truly desiring to lure a submissive to your home and trick them into a locked cell in the basement, power exchange is about being a good Partner. (Caged submissives are really a lot of work so unless you already have several trained, I don't recommend going that route.) My own personal opinion is don't get caught up in making 'too many rules'. Like being a parent, rules and boundaries have to be enforced. Also, if you find you have a bit of a Sadistic streak, don't feel like you need to 'make up' scenarios for 'punishment'. "Funishment" is perfectly acceptable....ie, spank him because you enjoy it (and hopefully on some level he does too.). Beware of 'no-win' situations, where your pet feels he failed because you feel the need to 'punish'. Mostly, take what feels right to you, leave what doesn't, and have fun.
