@empresslovely69 I can't speak for other Doms, but I personally don't want a doormat, but someone who's standing for what they believe in and is outspoken, at the same time respects me and defers to me in what we agreed during dynamic's negotiations.
@WillHartley1980 My go to in such situations is to use a different "safe word" from the actual one. The Dom/Top "suddenly changes" the safe word before a session, while the sub/bottom remembers the old/usual one. This is advanced CNC, beginners should not attempt it.
@WillHartley1980 There is a dynamic that entails total relinquishing the control, usually designated as TPE (total power exchange) and mostly expressed as Master/slave relationship, but I don't advise anybody new to start directly with TPE, which is very demanding.
