The true man wants two things: danger and play. For that reason, he wants woman, as the most dangerous plaything.

Man should be trained for war and woman for the recreation of the warrior: all else is folly.

The warrior does not like fruit that is too sweet. Therefore he likes woman; even the sweetest woman is still bitter.

Woman understands children better than a man, but man is more childlike than woman.

A child is concealed in the true man: it wants to play. Come, women, discover the child in man!

--- Thus Spoke Zarathustra

I offer a brand of reason-based, not whim-based, dominance. You’ll always be free to express your opinion, at which point I will listen, process, and decide if I want to hear more. If I do, then you’ll continue speaking. If I don’t, then a decision will have been made.

I’m not looking for a domestic slave and am perfectly happy to help with readying dinner—unless something more important calls for my attention. In that case, you’ll assume your place. I don’t approve of boredom. So if you desire a career, I have no objection—as long as you remember where your first loyalty lies. I have no wish to micro-manage your life, but I will impose such restrictions as I conclude are necessary for your well-being.

If you are disposed to forget where your first loyalty lies, then I will happily help you remember. To this end, I have no hesitation about deploying physical force and restraint when and if it makes sense. But I have no fetishes and in fact do not even understand them. Why conquer just a part of the woman when the whole awaits? I want to get to know you as an individual—I can’t control what I don’t understand. And I am not content just controlling your body, for controlling your body is just a means by which to sculpt your being. If the material I’m working with is recalcitrant, well, I wouldn’t have it any other way. One cannot act without the existence of something that resists that action. That’s my philosophy with woman as with other things.

My greatest virtue, in my estimation, is my psychological acumen, which is exceptional (for a man at least—I can guarantee that much!), so I won’t necessarily mind if you attempt to outwit me, so long as I am in the mood for that game. That is something you will have to learn to discern on your own! I don’t announce when the irony ends and the seriousness begins—or vice versa.

If I humiliate you, this will be, not to amuse myself or to hurt you, but so that you might be reminded that you are a woman, my woman. You’ll keep yourself pretty, healthy, and well-toned out of respect for me—and “well-toned” includes mentally well-toned. There will be no idle channel surfing or other existential distractions under my dominion. You can dress as you please most days, but not when I’m in the mood to see a particular side of you shine.

Ideally, you also have a bit of a feminist side, and therefore feel a bit conflicted about this whole business. That conflict is where the fun begins for both of us! I’ll help you feel that tinge of self-betrayal. But it will be well worth it, as this will be a self-betrayal of the most sensuous kind. You’ll get gentleness, but in feeling my gentleness, you’ll also feel my hardness. The first will never be genuine without the second. There is no vitality without tension and contradiction, and vitality, not stability, is what it’s all about. I don’t want to enslave you. On the contrary, I want to liberate you from your own willfulness—again and again. That’s real women’s lib in my book.

But however the fun begins, it will always end when I say it does—that is, when the law is finally laid down! And that conflict notwithstanding, your smarter side recognizes that what you really want is not equality but the kind of inequality that expresses your individuality—something you will not sacrifice for the empty abstraction of equality. “Equality” can always be reinterpreted, which is why it must always terminate in bickering, strife, and equal misery for all concerned. The meaning of inequality, on the other hand, is plain for all to see.

About Your Response: Include accurate and revealing pictures. That doesn’t necessarily mean sexual, just revealing—whatever that means to you.
