Gooooooood Morning my fine fellow CollarMe addicts! I was just sitting here at my desk (slow day at work) reading through the different threads and found one that made me stop and think. It was a thread asking "...what makes a dominant/master?" It's new and there are only a few responses but it got me thinking about other threads of a similar nature I've seen and some of the answers. Some have said things like, "I've always been dominant, loved tying up the little girls/boys, at a young age" Or, "I've always been one to take the lead!!!" So, being the human being that I am and filtering such things through my own life experiences, I think........"well hell, I never tied anyone up for thrills and I've never been captain of the team........what's the deal with me???". I end up in leadership roles somehow but never really set out to go there. I began thinking back through my own childhood, the things that stick out as indicators in my past. Then I read someone's reply, something about how they like having others do things for them. I thought "YEAH!! That I can relate to!" Then I thought of a reply I made to another thread this morning about first submission. I don't want to fight to make someone submit, I want them to WANT to. So I really started thinking. All of this is pointing to a more passive style of dominance and a more aggressive style of submission. At least initially, and if you think about it, throughout the relationship. At first thought, the terms have a bit of distaste to them in association.........passive dominance and aggressive submissive. Seems like an oxymoron. But is it really? I don't think so. I see alot of posts on the threads that indicate some of the more sucessful M/s relationships would fit to a degree. If being served is inactivity and inactivity is more passive than activity.........AND If serving is an activity and activity is thought of as more aggressive than inactivity...... Okay, so maybe I am stretching things a bit here. But I was just thinking of some of the different facets of dominance and how some of the dominant people I respect most are not really aggressive people at all. Their's is more of a calm quiet leadership. Usually leadership by example and respect earned over time by their consistance. So, then I have to wonder. What are the first indications of this type of dominance? Were they the quiet kids that sat and watched? The bookworms? The ones that prefered their own company over the crowd, and maybe had just a few devoted friends that followed along.........I am wondering now.
