Anyone getting involved in D/s should be required to read this (or something like it) so they understand that the dynamic is an agreement based on trust.

There is so much missed by the Dom, the sub, and any outside on-lookers when you don't consider the most important aspect of the "because He said so" is because there is agreed upon trust and consent prior to the expectations being set out. Safe, Sane and Consensual. <br /><br />I'm happy that this is my introduction to your blog!

My Dom gave me an assignment last night and despite being tired, I knew I wouldn't sleep well unless I completed it as requested.... because he said so. Making him happy, fulfilling his requests, these are things I must do. They make me happy to make him happy.

There are a lot of things we do and say that don't sound pretty, especially to someone outside our lifestyle, but many times it does reach the core of what this is about for all of us.

I think you have a point to a degree, but it also depends on the context and the power exchange dynamic agreed upon between the two people involved. Like I said in my post, it's not a blanket all encapsulating thing to say. It has as much to do with the time, place and context as anything. I do appreciate your comment and view. <br /><br />@tori... No need to apologize. I think this is why we post and comment. So we can have a conversation about a subject, to make us think, to maybe look at something differently, and to share our own personal experiences and views. Feel free to disagree and offer your own opinions on the matter. That's always appreciated.<br />DauntlessVitalityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10351897046636302746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5852181366292579823.post-21135125257119251792015-05-11T17:16:10.880-05:002015-05-11T17:16:10.880-05:00tori, I agree!

They just see the fun aspects and leave the rest out. A perfect example is just what you mention, just because you can doesn't mean you should. <br />DauntlessVitalityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10351897046636302746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5852181366292579823.post-6672843227077120572015-05-11T15:32:40.127-05:002015-05-11T15:32:40.127-05:00(sorry for hijacking your post DV)
