OP, not sure why you are trying to analyze D/s relationships bit by bit.
We are all so different in what we want and need.
How does me telling you that I get off when a Dominant man is able to make me feel like a quivering pile of goo help your own relationship?
Yes yes it does !
My quest is both for pure scientific as well as practical reasons.
But understanding how to use something or how something applies to your own life is VASTLY different to understanding the thing itself, without you in the picture.
Where does the need/want for D/s come from? (quite unknown, nature vs. nurture debate, not looking for this right here)
Can a D/s structure be a natural need for a fulfilled life?
What definite, calculateable parts exist in D/s ? (D/s exists and thus there's mechanics behind it, even if some valves are completely turned on in some D/s relationships and turned on fully in other relationships, it should be possible to identify every single one, can't be that much if concentrating on the basics).
How do sexual and social D/s interact with each other, what if a relationship has only one, what if a relationship has both?
Understanding the core of something is knowledge, knowledge is power.
Analogy: I can play a game and know how to use controls and interface 100%. I'll probably be a good player.
But I can also study a game, learn the exact mechanics behind it, how my controls interact with the game on a basic level, how the information shown on the screen is put together. I'll have the tools to become an outstanding player, and even gain knowledge on how games in general are designed, which in turn allows me to furtherly interact with the game on a more intellectual level and then possibly create my own.
It's basically the difference between casual and hard core gaming. (just that hard core gamers also exceed in the pure control/interface use but I'm getting side tracked here ...)
