Hello A/all.  I'm new to the area, but not to the lifestyle.  I tend towards being a Daddy Dom, but never make the mistake of thinking that makes Me soft, or that I cannot administer harsh discipline when it is called for.  I love OTK spanking, as well as riding crops, paddling and flogging, but unless they are punishments, I tend more towards sensual and sensation play.  I think the only way to truly dominate is mental, to get inside a sub's head, find out what makes them tic, what their pleasures and fears are.  I truly believe that no two subs, or Doms for that matter, are quite the same, and that flexibility, and a desire to meet the others needs is extremely important.  I believe that the title of Master is earned, not demanded, that it comes with responsibilities as well as privledges.  I believe that each relationship must be negotiated, and that SSC always applys.
