| The Dominant's Creed Above all else a Dominant cherishes Their submissive, in the knowledge that the gift the submissive shares with and then offers to Them is the most precious gift of all. A Dominant is demanding and takes full advantage of the power within to Them, but knows how to share the pleasure that comes from that precious gift that They have accepted. A Dominant is first and foremost in complete control of Themselves, so that They may better control others with grace, skill and ease. As a stern and demanding Dominant, They can cause Their submissive to cry real tears. As the consummate lover, They will then kiss the tears away, without fear of showing Their humanity and ability to show compassion. In times of trouble, a Dominant will gather Their strength and be a supportive friend and partner, never forgetting that this is still a loving relationship between two caring and loving individuals. A Dominant is quick to understand the differences between fantasy and reality. He/She will not only use both wisely, but will be sure that Their submissive knows it as well. A Dominant would never asks a submissive to put Them before their career, or family, for any reason. To win a submissive's mind, body, spirit, soul, and love, a Dominant knows They must first win their complete trust. A Dominant will show Their submissive passion, compassion, tenderness, sensuality, sexuality, aggression, humor, kindness, and warmth. They will share all that They are with Their submissive. A Dominant must always show them that Their guidance and tutoring is knowledgeable and deserving of their gift, that this is a Person they can learn from, and that they can follow Them without question into the D/s world. That they can trust in Their ability to guide and teach them. A Dominant is sensual and caring enough to be protective and chivalrous. When and if the time should come, They will fight for Their submissive's honor, and protect them before all others. Their submissive will learn their lessons of respect and obedience, at the feet of a strong and unyielding Mentor. A Dominant will accept no flaw, yet will expect and except mistakes that are bound to happen during the learning process. Nothing less than perfection will be accepted from Their student once a given part of the process is completed. Never will discipline be used without reason. When They do punish Their submissive, it is always with great care that the punishment be within the limits of the submissive and fitting. A Dominant is always open to communication. They know that communication is the foundation to D/s. That without a strong and balanced foundation no matter how well trained Their submissive the union is doomed to fail. A Dominant will never demand ritual behavior from Their submissive. Their submissive will want to comply out of a need to. They will not comply by force or out of fear of punishment. A Dominant understands the fragile nature of a submissive's heart, mind, body and soul. They would never violate the trust given to Them. A Dominant is secure enough in Themselves to laugh at who They see in the mirror and the absurdities of life. Open minded enough to want and need to learn new things. Strong enough to grow with Their submissive. written by, Mistrerss Suzette |
