Definitely nice images. The expression in the second -- with the collar -- is priceless (any more in that series? please?).

As for showing things in public...I am torn. One should act true to oneself, always, and never waver in that; but I must also say I'm not always the person I am when I'm whipping my love, and thus I'm not always seeking to dominate; nor is she always submissive, nor would I necessarily want that.

Never waver in your standards, but at the same time be aware that expecting any sub (or top) to be in that role at all times, in all respects, is asking a lot, and certainly not what should be expected from others in our community.
