Ok, I'll see if I can explain this. First off, the specific level of dominance I refer to is a subjective term. Every submissive responds to different things a dominant may do. One sub may want a dominant to virtually micromanage them to the point they are told when they can eat, go to the bathroom, or even if allowed to leave the house. Another sub may want someone more sexually dominant that invokes much less protocol on everyday life. I'm, more or less, in the middle of the examples above. I don't want to be micromanaged because I am an adult and can make responsible decisions on my own. In other words, Mistress is like my supervisor. I know my job, I know what is expected of me. I do my job and she just observes to make sure I do things correctly. If I mess up or make a mistake, she's there to show me the error of my ways and shows me a better way to do things. She guides me and leads me, but is not overbearing and super-controlling. Does that make sense? Now, the big question: why does a particular person dominate and another one submit? To me, it's all a matter of how they are wired. I believe dominance, submission, and sexuality are all sort of "pre-programmed" in our brain like a trait. It's just how we live, explore, and interact in our everyday lives that cultivate that seed. When I was very young, I used to like playing in the mud and slithering around in it. I knew it felt good and that I enjoyed it, but I didn't know why. When I turned 12, I got a birthday spanking from a girl I had a major thing for. I didn't understand why I enjoyed having this girl pin me down to spank me. All I knew is I really enjoyed it. Basically, I think as we go through life, the choices we make and the people we associate with shape whether we are dominant or submissive. I believe all people are either dominant, submissive, or a combination of both...that the seed is planted in all of us. Just like in farming, not every seed will grow. To me, that is why there are so many people out there that don't understand a D/s dynamic or that lack sexual freedom. It's probably the life they've lived, the people they've associated with, and the choices they've made that didn't allow them to grow on that level.
