Being in a D/s relationship isn't just about just pleasuring one or the other. It is a true relationship that demands that of a vanilla relationship with so much more. I am talking about trust and respect. When one is in a D/s relationship trust and respect is everything. One part must trust the other to do as told for what ever reason or to trust that one will not do anything to really hurt the other. Trust is so much more than allowing them to know your darkest places or being around your most precious possessions. It is knowing that no matter what that their behind you one hundreds percent and knowing that they care enough about you that what ever they decide is going to be best for both parties. As far as respect goes, respect plays a major role in D/s relationships. As we all know a sub must respect their Dom to ensure that no lies are crossed that they do not allow, but on the other hand a Dom must respect their subs to ensure that no lines are crossed that may really hurt their subs. A Dom holds more than just physical well being in his hand. A Dom holds everything be it mental physical or emotional well being in their hand. If a Dom misuses that trust and disrespects a sub it can ruin that person not only as a sub but as a functioning part of society. In all aspects in order to take respect or trust one has to give. A sub can't expect her Dom to respect her wishes or trust her if she cannot respect his wishes and trust him. In the small amount of time i have been here if i have learned nothing else, i have learned that in this lifestyle trust and respect are the only things that make this work for everyone and allows both Doms and subs to enjoy a loving and giving relationship. |
