Thats not it at all, i just want a sub that will trust me to lead, about the pleasing thing, this is where we diverge greatly, i do not hold my sub responsible for my pleasure.
Let me go on a tangent here and talk about something i was meaning to bring up but there was no opportunity as of yet, there was a time about 3 to 4 years ago when i was big into PUA stuff, and this is interesting because for those who were not in it basically it is distilled version of BDSM watered down enough so that vanilla people could swallow it, many of the founders were themselves into BDSM and they took out most of the kinky stuff (though some remained for those who can see it). But one sentence that got stuck in my head from that time is this "Abusive man demands respect, dominant man commands respect".
That is what i meant when i said i thought Ff and Fm relationships differed from Mf, in Mf IMO there is still a residue of that traditional relationship, and i know this to be true from the various blogs and ads i ran across, that many female subs who seek male doms want this element of safety that comes with it, they want a dom who's strength of personality is so great he gets her to submit to him without even trying.
Of course this is for the most part just an act, nobody can maintain this sort of presence indefinitely but one can work towards it.
And let me be clear too that i don't seek some emotionless doll, just the opposite, my goal is to allow my sub to experience full range of emotions, with me acting as a sort of safe harbor, a solid rock for her to hold on to, this i see as very important since such strong emotions can be overwhelming.
I also don't expect us to get there overnight, i am sure it will take a long time for my sub to trust me enough to relax completely in my presence, i read some time ago that for most women it is impossible to achieve orgasm if they are not relaxed, and that is what i want, i want to be able to make my sub cum at my command, i want her to feel my every touch like fire, that is my goal. Is that realistic or not, IDK, but that is what i strive for.
ok sorry here I think you've made a terrible misunderstanding I said I believe that as a domme it is my job to ensure that my sub is enjoying each session to the fullest, never did I say it's a subs job to please the master/mistress, I did however say that as a sub (because I'm a switch so I enjoy both roles) I believe it is my job to please the domme, but just because I think that is my job when I am a sub doesn't mean I expect/think subs should fit that role when I am a domme.
now then this quote "Abusive man demands respect, dominant man commands respect". is rather interesting, but I also think this is wrong as well, it makes one infer a fairly ignorant view that there is only one true way for a man to be dominant. however I believe I am starting to come to an understanding about you as a person on a more fundamental level. hmm, though still honestly speaking you are wrong about that difference at least with F and F relationships in both life and bdsm. for instance I have had a girl friend for several years now that I'm in a bdsm relationship with... in many ways we still share this same sort of emotional anchoring that you speak of... this is just simply a fundamental part of any real intimate relationship. that said I will admit that when romance isn't involved or if it isn't intended from the get go F and F bdsm experiences tend to feel more like two kinky friends though there is more respect for the domme and less joking around it doesn't feel like there is any form of emotional support required... until as I said romance starts to play a part in the relationship as at that point the sub will usually rely on the domme a lot more for emotional support
