? Above all else he cherishes his submissive, in the

?knowledge that the gift she gives him is the greatest of all.

?He is demanding and? takes full advantage of the power

?given to him, but knows how to share the pleasure that

?comes from that precious gift.

?He is in control of himself first and foremost, so that he

?may control others. As a stern and demanding Dominant,

?he can cause his sub to cry real tears.? As the consummate

?lover, he will then kiss the tears away, without ever

?stepping out of character.

?In times of trouble, a Dominant will leave the roles behind,

?to be a supportive friend and partner, never forgetting that

?this is still a loving relationship between two caring

?individuals. He is quick to understand the differences

?between fantasy and reality.? He would never ask a

?submissive to put him before her career, or family, just to

?satisfy his own pleasure.

?To win his submissive's mind, body and soul, he knows he

?must first win her trust. He will show his submissive

?humor, kindness, and warmth. He must also show her that

?his guidance and tutoring is knowledgeable and deserving

?of her attention, that this is a man she can learn from, and

?trust his direction.

?He is romantic enough to be protective and chivalrous.?

?When called upon, he will fight for his ladies' honor.? He

?proves to her that he is someone she can lean on, and

?depend on.

?He is old-fashioned enough to be a bit of a chauvinist, yet

?modern enough to respect his woman.? Quick to point out

?the differences between them, he also knows there is no

?inferiority in those differences.

?When it comes time to teach his submissive her lessons of

?obedience, he is a strong and unyielding professor. He will

?accept no flaw, nothing less than perfection from his

?student.? Never does he use discipline without good reason.

?When he does, it is always with a knowledgeable and

?careful hand.

?He is a careful guide, with safety always his main concern.?

?He knows how to use pain to extend the bounds of

?pleasure.? He is a mentor who can bring her to the edges of

?her envelope, and gently show her the inner courage to

?reach new heights.

?He is always open to communication and discussion,

?always ready to hear her wants and needs. He is patient,

?taking the time to learn her limits, and knowing that as her

?trust of him grows, so will they.

?He never has to demand ritual behavior by her. She

?responds to him out the want of pleasing him.? Compliance

?comes from the wanting to please, not the fear of

?punishment. He understands the fragile nature of mind and

?body, and never violates the trust given to him.

?He is secure enough to laugh at himself and the absurdities

?of life.? Courageous enough to accept assistance. Open

?minded enough to learn new things. Strong enough to

?grow. His tools are mind, body, spirit and soul with a little

?help from rope, paddle and blindfold. He understands that

?each partner gains most from pleasuring the other. And

?both of them know that love is the only binding that truly

?holds.
