		<description>A Dominant?  No.  A dominant Man. Yes. 

.....because in order for it to be safe really, there has to be a submission to invest the dominance in..... 

Interesting....I&#039;ll be thinking on this and how it applies. It niggles at me even here.</description>

		<description>I can&#039;t speak to the very personal interactions and dynamic between you and who you are writing about. What I can do regarding that is just listen and hold your hand mentally...Tell you that you are loved...


Your words sure do bring alot of other thoughts to the fore for me though...

About the tenderness and vulnerability of a dominant&#039;s heart...because in order for it to be safe really, there has to be a submission to invest the dominance in. 

A dominant must be stalwart even when it feels impossible to them to be stalwart. A dominant must be devoted, even when there&#039;s no trust from the one who is devoted. A dominant must be steadfast, even when someone s/he loves doesn&#039;t think he&#039;s doing it right or won&#039;t give fully because of fears.

It is not easy to be the dominant. In fact, in many ways its harder, because a submissive can lean on the dominant, even as s/he has a hissy...but the dominant must stand fast mostly alone...there can be no pouting or fits or any of that, else the submissive will not respect and rely on him.

I don&#039;t say this applies to whatever you are referring to at all in your relationship. Not for a moment...I&#039;m simply thinking of my partner and how I often don&#039;t trust him when he&#039;s very trustworthy...and I sometimes see just how much that hurts him.</description>
