As a Dominant, I wish to get the input from my partner, but retain the right to make the final decision.

Communication, negotiation … anything goes as long as everyone involved agrees and is not being harmed in process.


This is an excellent summation and one that I believe to be a formula
for success in sharing a special bond with someone.

This meeting of minds as RedEva has spoken of is something I've
believed and worked to uphold in my personal relationships.

Freedom always comes with somewhat of a price in all the
facets of life but what makes it all the more sweet is how
we appreciate it and understanding what it means from both
sides of the coin so to speak.
