1. Defining the Role of a Dominant
Domination is an art form, a form of interaction between two willing and consenting partners. Mastering the subject requires knowledge of power dynamics between the dominant and submissive, as well as an understanding of social etiquette, physical and emotional boundaries, and communication techniques.
The Essentials of Dominating
- Respect: Treating your partner with respect both in and out of the bedroom is essential. Respect is especially important when it comes to making decisions together, such as discussing what activities you both enjoy and are comfortable with.
- Empowerment: The dominant should foster a sense of trust and security, offering their partner support in exploring their own desires.
- Communication: Establishing protocols for communication beforehand ensures safety and enhances mutual understanding. Listening to your partner’s wishes and comfort levels is essential, and consent should be given non-verbally or verbally.
- Intimacy: Establishing a strong emotional connection between the two of you makes domination enjoyable for both parties. Intimacy is a key ingredient for a successful and fulfilling experience.
Physically Expressing Domination
- Bondage: Bondage is often used as a tool for domination, and can include such activities as being blindfolded, handcuffed, bound to furniture, or wearing collars.
- Kneeling: Kneeling is a common position, both in intimacy and humiliation. It can be used as a sign of reverence and respect, but it can also be used to emphasize submission and surrender. It is a powerful way to show that dominance is in effect.
- Spanking: Spanking can be used to convey dominance and punishment, and is often combined with bondage and humiliation. The dominant should take precaution when using spanking, making sure that their partner is comfortable with the intensity.
- Humiliation:Humiliation can be used to emphasize the power imbalance between the dominant and submissive, and can include verbal and psychological measures such as name calling, roleplaying, and degradation. It should be practiced with caution and respect, as it can be an empowering and pleasurable experience for both partners.
2. Understanding Your Submissive’s Needs
Acknowledging Agreements
Dominance and submission are intimate activities that require recognition and respect from both parties. A dominant should always be familiar with the particular agreements and boundaries of the submissive before engaging in any activities together. Through open communication and mutual understanding, both partners can remain safe and comfortable during intimate activities.
- Create a concrete set of rules for the relationship and activities between partners.
- Discuss and review private boundaries ahead of time.
- Establish what behaviors are accepted and what are not.
- Outline any areas that are off-limits and what activities fall outside of the relationship.
Giving Affection
Submissives often crave the love and attention of a dominant. While the dynamics of a relationship should focus on authority and respect, the submissive also needs to feel the attachment of a strong bond. Taking the time to care for, touch and appreciate your submissive’s presence can deepen the trust in the relationship.
- Take pleasure in praising and rewarding your partner in a sincere manor.
- Speak and touch your submissive in a way that reflects their loyalty and devotion.
- Connect with your partner by way of non-sexual but emotionally strong gestures.
- Be sure to acknowledge your partner for their achievements, willingness, and openness to intimacy.
3. Establishing and Maintaining Boundaries
Defining and Crafting the Role of Domination
The art of mastering domination lies in learning to craft your role in the relationship dynamic. It is your job as the dominant to set clear boundaries, define expectations and communicate your desires effectively. This means being honest and forthcoming with your partner about your needs and wants, and also being open to theirs.
It is important to remember that each relationship is unique and the boundaries and expectations that are set should be tailored to what works for the both of you. Consider some of the following:
- Establishing a safe word for when one or both partners have had enough
- Discussing roles and expectations openly with your partner
- Make sure that both partners feel comfortable and safe
- Getting consent from your partner before engaging in BDSM activities
- Involve communication, trust and respect in all sexual activities
As the dominant, you must be willing to provide your partner with pleasure as well as establishing the parameters of your relationship. Begin by finding out what kind of BDSM activities they are comfortable with and guide the encounter by listening to their needs and boundaries. Ultimately, successful domination requires that both partners be willing to explore, experiment and communicate what they desire in the relationship.
4. Harnessing the Power of Reward and Punishment
Rewards
Being a master of domination means knowing how to use reward to your advantage. Pleasure is one of the most powerful tools you have in your mastery, as it can be used to reward good behaviour. An effective way to do this is by designing a tiered rewards system to signify a topic of pleasure for certain occasions. Start with something small such as a light touch and a whispered compliment, and then expand it to more intense rewards such as a romantic dinner, private time, or even sensual massage.
Punishment
Much like rewards, punishments can also be used to enhance your mastery of domination. The purpose of a punishment is to deter any unwanted behaviour and to remind the submissive of their boundaries. Keep things within reason, and always make sure that the punishment does not cross any agreed-upon boundaries. Some great punishments to consider are: withholding of pleasure, verbal reprimands, spanks with a paddle or crop, ties and restraints, or a light slapping. Make sure to be clear with your rules and expectations, and never leave the submissive guessing.
In Retrospect
As you become more skilled and confident in the art of domination, you quickly learn that it’s not all about punishment and discipline. Rather, it requires creativity, an intense connection and a passionate desire to explore each other’s boundaries. Not only can it be a liberating experience for yourself and your partner, it is a thrilling voyage of discovery that can take you to some of the most exhilarating places imaginable. And with each journey, you become a better master – not only of yourself, but of the art of domination itself.
