ORIGINAL: AAkasha I'm curious how you determine if they have a dominant personality if you are not yet intimate with them. Akasha Why in the world would someone need to be ?intimate with another to determine if she/he is dominant? Maybe you mean intimate, as in a small space, just between you two, as opposed to sexually intimate. Feel free to clarify. Aakasha, I'm not sure that I understand or agree with you. I think you may be saying that you're a bedroom only Domme. In that case, I can see why it would take an intimate situation for your dominance to manifest. But what happens when a sub is a service sub, and is hoping to serve a Domme in that capacity? I have had more than one D/s relationship that didn't involve sex. Yet the D/s dynamic was clearly established. Getting back to your original question, dominance can be demonstrated in a number of ways. I hate to avoid your actual question, but the reality is that dominance can be demonstrated in a vast number of ways. But in truth, it's hard to pinpoint exactly how to define dominance. I always say that it's analogous to shopping for new furniture; I don't know what I'm looking for, but I'll know it when I see it. Frankly, I've had more than one "Domme" ask if she could submit to me. IMO, that is what I'd call "not dominant enough". I also remember one particular Domme who I dated for about 2 months. She was nice enough, but she never did anything to establish her place within the relationship. We had a great time, but it was as vanilla as it gets. She never even asked me to do her a favor, and she certainly didn't establish a D/s dynamic. I finally realized that she wasn't showing me what I was looking for, and I moved on. But we still remain friends to this day. I understand that everyone is different, and every D/s dynamic is different. But I do expect to see some outward show of dominance. It doesn't have to be caricature behavior like wearing latex and carrying a whip. But she needs to make a demand, establish an expectation, set a parameter, define a protocol, reprimand me, make me kiss her ring (I jest), or do something to remove the equality in the relationship. Thank you for the clarification. When I hear submissives talk about their desires for this kind of relationship, I wonder where the "demanding girlfriend" ends and "femdom" starts. In other words - I know a lot of women who are more outwardly "controlling" of their husbands and boyfriends than I am. Are they kinky? Ohhh hell no! But demanding - yes! Much more than I am to my boytoy/husband because I am pretty self sufficient in a lot of ways. I have a few in laws who really, really have a tight leash (pun intended) on their hubbies, yet I am the one with the whips and chains in the closet. These women enjoy being catered to and being treated like a bit of a princess and the men love to treat them this way - they do not do this against their will. These are "well trained" men! And the rules and expectations were set very early in the relationship. But again, kinky? Ohhh god no. So here is the question - where does the kink end and the demanding girlfriend start and vice versa? I may be playfully demanding now and then to my man, but mostly, I just want things done how I want them done and in reality I don't have to be demanding, because he knows what to do. My control in our relationship is pretty seamless. However, to this day, I still question whether my "control" of our relationship is a manifestation of my "femdom kink" or just a coincidence, because I know women who are FAR more demanding and controlling of their men, but I am ten times more kinky and sadistic and that's a hardwired lustful need that I refuse to compromise on. In other words, if I had to give up having a doting, attentive husband tomorrow but still have a slut/slave/boytoy for my S&M, as long as I could have a maid and he did not transform into a dominant asshole but was just an "equal" I would be satisfied with that. I am not a control freak but I need my kink. Akasha
