(From the female half:) I agree with the alpha comment; that is the basic premise to my partner and I. We are engaged, both professional and lifestyle Dominants, and share the "helm" so to speak, with both our business and our relationship. My primary attraction to him was that he, unlike other men I'd encountered, did not kowtow to me. Even allegedly Dominant men would bend over backwards to accommodate my wishes, and submissive men would completely lose themselves inside any desire or expectation I had of them. While this is all well and good for getting your way, it does not fill a need for the type of companionship I have with my partner. There is a validation as a Dominant you receive from someone you deign your equal that simply isn't there from a submissive (and accordingly, the worship and obedience craved from a submissive I will never receive from my partner). We are closed-relationship polyamorous, and understand that not all needs (personal or practical) can be met by one person alone. I find common ground with my partner, as I feel we both have common goals as Dominants. Not to put all Doms and subs into end-all be-all categories, but your average lifestyle submissive operates from a desire to be loved, protected, and kept secure inside their relationship. My partner, while being fanatically loyal to me, has goals of furthering our company, protecting the family, and providing a future for us and ours. I share these goals, so I never have to wonder if we are working at odds with one another. I never have to question his motivations or methods, because I know I would operate similarly. So there is an intuitive amount of trust to build on from the very beginning, that only got stronger as time went on. I could go on and on, but I'll leave writing a book for another day. ;) Warmly, DD
