1. "This is what's best for you."

2. "This is what I want."

The first statement reflects more what I am. A Daddy Dom type, one who's focused on his partner, developing her.

Over the weekend, I saw a Dom who embodied the second statement. The bad boy. It's all about me, and serving me.

With that realization, I know I have to develop the second Dom within me, to get in touch with my inner asshole. Part of becoming a fuller person.

My question for you subs - which kind of Dom do you respond to better?



AthenaSurrenders -> RE: The two Doms. (10/1/2012 5:43:17 AM)

I like about 80% dom A, 20% dom B.

In reality I want a level headed and loving partner who thinks his decision through and makes the right choices for both of us.

But from a pure animal attraction level, it's damn hot when he makes demands based soley on his own desires and whims.



hellioncheriecpl -> RE: The two Doms. (10/1/2012 6:33:50 AM)

There is nothing 'asshole-ish' about knowing what you want and wanting what you want. I see nothing wrong with either of those statements, or dickish about either of them.

I think the second statement seems super hot and inspires instant lust, but the first statement inspires trust and leads to long term lust, because the caring is there, which is the most important thing of all.

I think You should just be Yourself.

If, after many years in the lifestyle, You have never felt a need, or a desire, to be Dom #2ish, I'd have to question why You had this realization?

Calling it Your "inner asshole" does not sound to me like it's something You necessarily find to be a positive.  

Being a fuller person is all well and good, but some folks (even Doms) just ain't assholes (lol, although admittedly, many are), and there is nothing wrong with that.

I don't see why You have to be an asshole, or a bad boy, to get what You want in a power exchange relationship.  As a Dom, with a willing submissive, just wanting it and requiring it should be more than enough to get it.  No?

Edited to answer the last bit:  I respond better to a Dom who is authentic and who always has my best interests at heart, but who knows how to inspire me to get what he wants at the same time.  Those things do not have to be mutually exclusive by any means.



fucktoyprincess -> RE: The two Doms. (10/1/2012 7:21:06 AM)

How about just "let's have fun together".....is that a possibility, or does BDSM preclude that? [:D]

Okay, but in all seriousness, if you approach it from the notion of "let's have fun" - and fun can mean different things at different times (fulfilling her needs, fulfilling your needs, fulfilling mutual needs....just having fun together....) doesn't this get you as a couple where you should be?

Maybe I'm the odd one out here, but I do this stuff because I find it fun. It's not really purely about what's best for me all of the time or what he wants all of the time. At the end of the day, I want a mutually fulfilling, fun relationship with someone whose company I enjoy outside the bedroom as much as in. Oh yeah, and the relationship just happens to include elements of D/s and S&M.

From my perspective, sometimes these things can be overthought. [sm=2cents.gif]

The first statement says that a Dom is concerned about his sub. The second that he's concerned about his own needs. A healthy Dom is concerned about both. I feel I'm too weighted toward the first type.



OsideGirl -> RE: The two Doms. (10/1/2012 8:15:06 AM)

Master is a blend of both. And the second part is even when he he is in role #2, he will still be a gentleman. He says "please" and "thank you".



Alecta -> RE: The two Doms. (10/1/2012 9:13:12 AM)

There's no reason that #2 can't be the same as #1. It's more about verbal approach at that point.



Toppingfrmbottom -> RE: The two Doms. (10/1/2012 9:32:38 AM)

I need mostly 1 and then in some areas I need a hard ass with no problem making me do it by force, if nessesary.

I agree with this completely!



myotherself -> RE: The two Doms. (10/1/2012 10:00:42 AM)

From my perspective, I need Dom 2 with a sprinkling of Dom 1.

I love to be nurtured, but I can't deal with someone who wants to make it all about me. I've dated some lovely Doms who wore their hearts on their sleeves and tried to give me everything I wanted, and I hated it.

My particular submission works because I'm making him happy, submitting to his desires, making his world a better place to be. And by doing that, I'm happy too.

Yeah, I need the occasional cuddle and reassurance of the emotion behind the relationship, but I don't want it to be all about me.

That's my style of submission, but it's not the only style. Some subs prefer the nurturing Daddy Dom, some prefer the 'selfish' Dom, others prefer something in between.

It's not about changing who you are Steven, it's about finding the sub that fits the natural 'you' [:D]



tsatske -> RE: The two Doms. (10/1/2012 10:07:41 AM)

Dom 2 is, for me, a playtime thing - and even in playtime, I have to trust the descions he's making. Maybe they are about pleasing him - but I know he won't harm me while he's at it. I know he won't, as someone on here recently reported, disturb my carreer because he wants what he wants and he wants it right now. He will chose an approprate time and place to play, with saftty taken into consideration, so I can trust to do what he says even if I don't see the safety. if I think I am seeing a consideration he might not have, I will tell him - ONCE. Then I trust that he is keeping us both safe, and I do what I'm told.

In my daily life, I'm all about Door #1. Again, as in playtime, I need someone I trust to make the best descions for us both. If I can't enjoy down time with him, it's not going to work for me. As much as I love protocol, I love more just being real people together. And I need a Dom that is comfortable in his own skin. Jealousy just doesn't do anything for me.



littlewonder -> RE: The two Doms. (10/1/2012 10:35:41 AM)

Both

There are times Master will say the first one when I am being stubborn and he forces an issue, such as my coffee intake. It's not for him, it's for me. Actually it's for him too because he wants the best slave he can possibly have and if that means helping me also in the process then even better.

There are times when he says the second one because he wants it...end of discussion. Yeah it is about him.

I like both sides of him because I like a well rounded, balanced person.



Salinedion -> RE: The two Doms. (10/1/2012 10:43:49 AM)

Call me 80% bad boy. She needs my force more than she needs my empathy.

The empathy is on 24/7, but obedience is something that really connects us whenever an opportunity for it to occur pops up.



ARIES83 -> RE: The two Doms. (10/1/2012 11:29:39 AM)

Wheres option three?

3. "A combination of genitics and the world have
made me this way, and for better or worse you
are the deer in my headlights."[:D]

I'm sure there is more to a guy than two sides of
a coin Steven, but I wish you well with working on
yourself.

Doing what's best for her IS what you want, so I don't understand the inner conflict you seem to be experiencing.
To answer your question directed at subs, there is a whole lot of us in our relationship, but truth be told,
I tend to find more joy in giving/doing with his interests as my motivator as opposed to it being solely for my benefit.



lizi -> RE: The two Doms. (10/1/2012 1:56:47 PM)

I'd prefer a leader who watches out for his charges, balances things, and isn't reluctant about directing attention to himself. So I'd prefer Dom 2 overall, as long as he had some of the Dom 1 sprinkled in, because if he were completely self centered I wouldn't respect him as being a leader. So what I'm saying is that it's easier, and preferable, to me for a man to know his mind and not hesitate to ask for his needs and desires. I find it easier and more gratifying to be free to do what I do, which is take care of others - let me know what I need to take care of and I'm good.

In my relationship we are both givers. It's not always a smooth ride, however we do make it work. I'd say I work best with a Daddy type who has clear boundaries and who doesn't hesitate to clue me in when he wants something.

What Poise said here is ditto for me: I find it more joyful, fun, and soothing, to do things for others more than I find those qualities in doing things for my benefit. I am rarely motivated by doing things for me. I honestly could care less about myself, whereas if I need to do something for him, it becomes a woo hoo! type of event. Doing things for him captures my interest, doing things for me is meh.



ProlificNeeds -> RE: The two Doms. (10/1/2012 7:26:54 PM)

A mix of the two.
What's-best-for-me Dom is good for everyday things, I like the idea that if I forget things, or feel less than stellar about my choices, someone's gonna check me, it gives a warm sense of security....

That said, in the bedroom, I don't want what's best for me, I want bossy selfish Dom who's all about telling me what he wants... and maybe making me beg for what I want too.

I think you're wise to want to be in touch with both sides, I think a good dom should be a mix of both, the percentages are purely preference though.
