In a BDSM relationship, the dominant partner (also known as the “dom”) is typically responsible for setting the rules and boundaries, and for making decisions about the activities and dynamics of the relationship. With that in mind, there are a few key things that a dominant woman might do to establish and maintain a successful BDSM relationship.
First and foremost, it is important for the dominant partner to communicate openly and honestly with their submissive partner (also known as the “sub”). This means being clear about what they want, what they expect, and what their boundaries and limits are. The dominant partner should also be willing to listen to the submissive partner’s needs and boundaries, and to negotiate and come to an agreement that works for both parties.
Another key aspect of a successful BDSM relationship is trust. The dominant partner should strive to earn the trust of the submissive partner, and should work to build a strong foundation of trust and mutual respect. This can involve things like being consistent and reliable, being open and honest, and following through on their promises and commitments.
In addition, the dominant partner should be attentive to the physical and emotional well-being of the submissive partner. This means being aware of their physical limits and making sure that any BDSM activities are performed in a safe and consensual manner. It also means paying attention to the submissive partner’s emotional state and making sure that they are comfortable and happy in the relationship.
Overall, the key to a successful BDSM relationship is open and honest communication, trust, and a commitment to the well-being of both partners. The dominant partner should be willing to take the lead and set the tone for the relationship, while also being attentive and responsive to the needs and boundaries of the submissive partner.
Eventhough it seems logical, its great to remind us all that BDSM relationships should be based on honesty and trust. Which goes both ways ofcourse.
That is how I see a BDSM relationship. Trust to me is paramount, all else will fall into place once both parties establish it. I totally trust Her, always makes for fun stuff.
Thank you very much for your well reasoned thoughts as layed out in this blog post. I look forward to whatever thoughts you wish to share in future and wish to reiterate that your continued presence is sincerely a pleasure and that I am greatful all that you have done for me even prior to you returning to the site.
Very true, communication is important in all relationships, especially between a Domme and her sub. Unfortunately many of these real life relationships get off to a rocky start because of the sub hiding their nature out of shame, hurting the necessary trust.
