ORIGINAL: Sheela22 Take it from a sub who was overwhelmed by her Dom , ended up bleeding an ran away from him , DON"T RUSH IN TO STUFF! TAKE YOUR TIME EXPLORING HERS & YOURS DESIRES... and COMMUNICATE, COMMUNICATE COMMUNICATE!! I was madly in love with him but ended up leaving him..go figure which side is right Someone apparently wants to paint a picture of someone beating and even raping a submissive in the process of "overwhelming". Such a picture is a complete distortion painted with personal agenda and ignorance. A woman is overwhelmed not physically but in other ways by a Dom. Of course. Yes, this person had a personal agenda... which could well have cost her her life. Think I exaggerate? Search her posts. I say this with all of my heart, mind, body and soul. You sound like one of those people that ends up giving dominants a bad name. If you think your first encounter should overwhelm someone without first communicating with them just because you are a magical dominant and they will be enthralled with you, then I question your validity or sincerity. Being dominant does not equate to being a Neanderthal. I don't care if it is a "no limit" slave, you still discuss what you will and won't do and you discuss what you are going to do before you do it... not after. Just because you thought it was right because your Domly cup runeth over doesn't mean you cannot hurt someone emotionally or physically. You have to take that time because too many people use "no limits" and when confronted with something that they are unwilling to go through find out right quick that they do, in fact, have limits. Being a dominant does not mean that you cannot make mistakes. The dominants who are good will own their mistakes, correct them and then never let it happen again. But clear communication will go a long way in preventing any problems. Dominants also can differentiate between what it is to dominate someone and being dominant. Guess what? Spelling counts because the meaning of the entire word changes. Know the difference and don't be dismissive when someone tries to correct you. You can dominate a submissive, you do not dominant them. You are a dominant, you are not a dominate. It is fine if you cannot see the difference, everyone else can and it speaks volumes about who and what you are. The last thing I would like to say is that people should ask questions. It is how they learn. Being a dominant does not make you an instant genius and you know everything. I dare say that most dominants have asked plenty of questions or have been shown what to do and how to do certain things. Any twit can hold a flogger, how to use it, when to use it and why is something you have to learn. The rewards of being a dominant are when you can take a submissive and watch them melt in front of you by just looking at them. That takes work, practice and communication. Someone wise once said, "Do not judge a man by what he says, but by the questions he asks." To the OP: You seem like you are on the right track with communicating. Communicate before you even go anywhere near a set of cuffs, or rope. Communicate when you have them in cuffs and helpless. Communicate after you release them. You are doing this to another human being, not a brick so they deserve to know what you are doing at all times. There will be time for mystery and surprises, but if you destroy their trust you will never get that chance. Also, know the difference between dominant and dominate, image is everything. I wish you the best.
