Being a dominant requires flying in the face of many lessons we are taught and can be quite scary. I know for me, some of it was easy, say tying a woman up, but really hurting them, face slapping, cutting, choking and gagging them took time before I started becomeing okay with doing it and I still at times struggle to push past my own limits. For a woman, there are social norms that are not easy to get past. Learning to top isn't rocket science but sometimes people need to be shown its okay in more ways that "I want it"...tell her you want 10 clamps on your cock and buy, gift wrap, and present her with them on a night you have time to play with them. In other words, gut every thought of hers that "he is just saying it, he doesn't really mean it" and hold her hand the entire time. Its almost a cliche in the scene if you have been around long enough that two people, both vanilla, harbor secret fantasies, one of topping the other bottoming and both are two scared to act on it. After they come out, sometimes the relationship makes it but often it fails only to flourish later with someone else. Not because the two were not compatible but because they were too afraid to act on the desires, afraid they would be rejected if they did, even if the partner says "I want it"... Even dominants do so. I was with someone who was willing to do things that I was scared to try with her for fear of losing her, fear that the reality wouldn't match the hot fantasy, fear of going too far, etc. Its actually pretty common.
