What makes a good dominant? Iâve been asked many times what made him, HIM for me đis it just all about sex? When we made decision to enjoy a relationship with Dom/sub agreements I needed someone who understood how contrary to my nature giving up power would be and respected my boundaries along the way. Past experiences will cloud new relationships. This is impossible to deny. The things that create who we are are often deeply seeded and difficult to explain. Time and patience are required throughout the life of the relationship. I desired someone who had that type of understanding and compassion. When his care and transparency remained consistent, I knew he understood what I needed. For me a good Dominant needed to be able to control himself before he could exert control over someone else. Practicing self restraint with my best interest at heart is what I found to be most meaningful in that role. Someone invested that found me satiating for years to come not constantly on the prowl for the next shiny new toy was always important to me. What we all desire is going to be different, but that was the first box to check for me. Iâve often said Iâve never felt more emotionally safe in my life. If youâve met him you know what I mean. The bomb ass sex was just an added bonus!
