For Me Domination is a way of life, not a game to spice up sex: I consider Myself the Master of my slave in any time of the day, with its privileges and responsibilities.

I have real time experience and firmly believe that being a good Master requires more than a wonderful whip technique: Domination is before all about honesty, integrity and creativity.

                      

Respect
As a relevant digression, the word I hear too much of these days is "respect". Most people, and many here, use it incorrectly. When they ask for respect, they are really demanding to be shown the common courtesies of life. That's fine by me, and that wish will be met if it is reciprocated.
But if they are calling for me to unconditionally display "A feeling of appreciative, often deferential, regard or esteem" then they are unusually self delusional. For that is surely a matter of personal choice. Simply put, respect is earned by ones actions and words, not merely by ones existence.
