Blood Wolf's blog: "A Naturally Dominant Male"

1. You have the responsibility to ensure that your DS play is consensual at all times and by every person involved. 2. You have the responsibility to respect your submissive. Dominant is not synonymous with abusive jerk. 3. You have the responsibility to make sure that your activities do not adversely affect your submissive's health or safety, both physical and mental. If you break your toy you can't play with it any more. 4. You have the responsibility to respect your submissive's limits, not only those stated, but those perceived by you, that the sub may not be aware of. You must never take advantage of a submissive's weakened or altered mental condition, such as playing with an obviously inebriated sub or degrading someone you know to be a victim of incest. 5. You have the responsibility to maintain a clean, healthy and sober body. Filth, disease and/or substance abuse are the antithesis of Dominance. 6. You have the responsibility to provide something of value to your submissive in exchange for any funds that you may collect from that submissive, this may mean simply your attention or presence, but you do not fleece subs simply because they can be fleeced. 7. You have the responsibility to communicate clearly and honestly with your submissive, to listen to and consider their feelings and wishes, and to make sure he/she knows what parameters you will be playing in. 8. You have the responsibility to play only with those submissives that wish to and/or are allowed to submit to you. You must not take advantage of a sub that is too shy or frightened to say "no". 9. You have the responsibility to respect others as equals in the real world. When you are not in a scene your dominance is a personal matter not a public mandate. 10. You have the responsibility to familiarize yourself with the techniques and safety measures involved in the activities you engage in. Don't do rope bondage when all the training you have had is wrapping Christmas packages.

I am a naturally Dominant male is a society where Dominance is politically incorrect. I have always wondered why people looked to me for strength. Why I was the one to recognize bullshit as such and refer to it as such. Why I was the one to protect the weaker and abused. Why crowds would part as I walked through them. People perceived me a intimidating when there was no intent to intimidate. I could not compromise that which I deeply believed regardless of the consequences. I only knew that I had no choice. It is who I am It is my being. There is only one way I know to swim – upstream. I do not need to be domineering and controlling. Domineering and controlling is the failure of Dominance and Control. I need not to abuse others to feed a fragile ego. I will not be constraint by a stereotype of what is correct behavior for a Dominant. I do that which provides pleasure for my submissive and myself. If I prepare a meal for my submissive it is because it gives us pleasure. If I spank my submissive it is because it give us pleasure. A true Dominant and Master respects the gift of submission. That gift is given because of whom you are, not what you say and do. As a Master you provide strength to lead and the wisdom to teach. You provide the submissive that which they most desire, the pleasure of submission. You lead them down paths the fear to travel and tread where they can go only with your leadership. In building the trust to take this journey that you are, your aura, is more important than you words and actions. Words and action are hollow without substance. Natural Dominance does not make you a Dominant, or Master, any more than an aptitude for math makes one a mathematician. As a Dominant, or Master, it is your duty to seek the skills, wisdom and experience to train and lead. Would you want a doctor that only had an aptitude for medicine? The first step in the journey is to strength of person and ego to recognize you need to learn your craft and for each thing you learn you will find there are two more things you need to learn. Courtesy and respect are a hallmark of a Dominant, or Master. Courtesy and respect is the submissive's reward for submission. Punishment is the consequenses of failure of submission. As well in training "Spare the rod and spoil the submissive".
