A very interesting question, I will make sure to get Him to answer you back, weg.
Not to be fooled though, He does love practicing His bondage technique and His love of canes is well documented at this site (and if you are interested in more of His philosophy and have masochistic inclinations - to suffer my writing- you can skim through my blog, lol), though true He never needed those to ensure my submission. I don't know how to put it in words more descriptively, but I say that He dominated me through sheer force of His personality, I think He is just wired that way and while its rare He isn't the only one.
