Doms who aren't

[AlwaysFara]

I completely agree with this!!
Real DOminants don't need to prove to everyone they're "Dominant". If they actually, it's simply how they're perceived.
Dominant also doesn't have to mean douche-bag!
A good Dom just simply "is" IMHO and that's enough.

Another important part of that is a good Dom also understands that the sub is the one with all the power. If I don't hand him my submission, he's nothing more than an asshole in black jeans and a shitty beard barking orders

I disagree with your last statement. My man is Dominant whether he’s in a relationship or not. He won’t fall for a woman who isn’t submissive sexually, just like I won’t fall for someone who isn’t Dominant sexually.
I don’t make him a Dom. I give him space to access it.
I don’t have all the power. It’s a power exchange, with limits agreed upon (hopefully) before you progress.

It seems to me the whole D/s thing in a cyber environment is circumspect at best...

BRAVO, bravo...If I have learned anything online, it is contained in your statement.
