All true, Sir Russell. And one thing to note as well as all this is that sometimes a person may be dominant in real life and in public but be submissive in private. I have known some women who are classic Domme types in public but if you get them in private they are the ones who need to be dominated.

Humans, like dogs, do not come preinstalled with a set of software drivers that instruct them in how to behave. You can't tell an untrained dog to 'sit' without first telling them what the word 'sit' means. Similarly you cannot say to a human 'dominate me' and expect them to immediately assume the mannerisms and demeanour of a good Dom. Some of these things are instinctual (dogs will automatically sit if you hold your hand above your head when they are looking at it because it is the best way to keep an eye on the food they think may be in your fist - try it if you have a dog, all you then have to do is associate that movement with the word sit and you are there) but a lot still has to be taught.
