SuiDomina reminds us that D/s isn’t the cartoon porn sites make it seem to be:
What makes a D/s relationship different than a plain vanilla one (besides the toy collection)? For me, it is the depth of the emotional bond the boy and I share. I trust his decisions, he trusts my judgement. We discuss everything with each other. There are no unpleasant hidden surprises lurking around in the corners of his mind, or mine. He never has a need to push me away, and I give him all of the solitary time to think that he needs. I always trust that he will tell me if he is having an issue with any facet of his life, either with me, or without me. I encourage him in his goals; he supports my often wacky ideas about life.
If ever I thought that his life would be better without me in it, I would not hesitate to send him on his way, even if he resisted. My interest in him as a human creature goes far beyond the greediness of wanting him around for my own selfish indulgences. He is my best friend, first and foremost. And I am honored to be his best friend. It took us a while to get to this point.
