I'm a nurturing Domme, and I'm tired of people acting like having a heart makes you less dominant. I can love money, gifts, being spoiled, and having someone completely devoted to me WITHOUT wanting to see that person financially ruined, mentally exhausted, or struggling to survive. I don't find pleasure in knowing someone skipped a meal to send me money. I don't get an ego boost from someone neglecting their responsibilities to prove their loyalty. And I damn sure don't need to destroy someone's self-esteem to feel powerful. Some of us actually CARE about the people who submit to us. We remember the little things. We check on them. We celebrate their accomplishments. We encourage them to do better in life. We understand that they're HUMAN before they're anything else. Dominance has NEVER required cruelty. And anyone who thinks kindness automatically equals weakness has a very limited understanding of power. Some of us want our subs to thrive, not just survive us. ππ―β¨οΈπͺπ½
