Some people can jump in to a situation, some can't. I'm a person that can't. I have to get to know you beyound . Respect is a WORD that gets thown around alot. Respect gets thrown around too much, but it doesn't mean anything to the way too many people think about each other.
Build a relationship. Respect comes. Care about your partner, Dom or sub. If you care about someone in your HEART, becauce they are a person, care about their well being, care about their enjoyment, then it will come around to you. You have to care FIRST about the person you are hoping to CONNECT with. If you don't, it's not a matter of being a true dom are a true sub. it's a matter of, "you have no clue". I'm Captain Newbie, but I'm lissening and caring about the folks I talk with, ( I'm old, school of hard knot ).
CARE about PEOPLE, the rest will come.
If you don't CARE about the other person, well then YOU DON'T COUNT.
