himind,

Your very right it does take a lot more effort to make the life work. The life must be done with complete honesty also. Each day you must reaffirm that the love is there and growing.

In my opinion a real Dom is happy with himself and his life, if he isn't then the possibility for abuse is way to great.

You're right there.I think it's very important for the dom to be in a healthy state of mind,because a sub is,quite literally in some cases entrusting his/her life to the dom,and it can turn very ugly otherwise.another thing I feel is that a dom has to be very careful , for the nurturing of the sub and the relationship as well depends a lot on this.
