I really hope that being a D doesn't mean it has to be devoid of compassion. I'm sure some personality types might crave the more.....direct.....sort of Dom but i feel a compassionate D brings a lot to the table in terms of support, love, compassion and strength. Someone you can rely on for strength and direction when needed, but also encourage you, build you up, make you feel comfortable being yourself.This is a quote from the Dom of the D/s couple that goes by _infinitedevotion. "You can have deep, close, loving intimacy, AND passionate, intense kinkiness with the same person over the long term." I watched that video last night and I was like, "Yes! So much yes!" He often talks about "holding space for her (his wife & sub) emotions". That is so important for me, and an important part of why I think Wolfie and I are so successful. I can be silly and happy, dancing around the house, and he will laugh and encourage me. Sometimes joining in. Other times, I'll come home and be emotionally exhausted by the day I've had, or we can be out together, and something will trigger me. He'll wrap me in his arms (and sometimes my blanket burrito), and speak softly and kindly to help me through it. He never implies that my emotions are invalid.
I think this deep, loving relationship is something that a lot of Doms and subs don't understand if they're just in a scene-based dynamic. Even if they only scene with each other or only in kink clubs. That's ok if that is what they're looking for, but some people we've met will say that we're not D/s because we're in a loving, long-term, committed relationship. For me, that's exactly why I was drawn to DD/lg. It seems to me that those of us here tend to be in longer-lasting relationships with our Doms. And I can be laughing and dancing, or curled into a ball and crying, behaving like any emotional child, and it doesn't matter. He is always there, my rock, my safe place in the storm. Then a few nights later, he can be so controlling and use me until I collapse into a satisfied pile of bunny fluff. Even then, it's like he flips a switch, and he's all about the aftercare.
Anyway, rant over. I just needed to get this out.
