The difference between thinking and knowing.

[DIXIE LASS]

Maybe I'm not sure what you mean, Dixie Lass. I've heard of the Dom Voice, and I've thought that I've heard it, and I will obey it, but I think of the Dom Voice as being more commanding than what I'm thinking of. In this case, it was more seductive, less about sex or about commands.

You know the cartoons where the scent of the pie wafts out of the kitchen and it's visible? and sometimes it wraps itself around the character and pulls him in? This voice was like that - it wrapped me up and took me away somewhere.

I didn't mean to infer that there is only one voice and that all doms use it or that all subs cave to it. I'm sure there's quite a variety. For instance, one brooks no argument, one is forceful, one threatens correction, one is supremely confident, one assumes control, etc., etc. Whatever the adjective or descriptive phrase, they (the different voices) are all seductive in the sense that to seduce means to lead one into temptation or to make the wicked appear attractive. It sounds like the voice that entraps you is a sensual one. My point was that 1.) for each of us, there is "A Voice" that lures us into the tightest, most foolproof net possible and 2.) that our physical responses are so strong, we don't have much of a defense against it. It is what each of us individually "could swim in" or what "wraps us up and takes us away".

And BTW, just how knowledgeable are most doms about this very powerful effect? I'd love to hear some answers from some of them. With the exception of Oz, of course. He seems to know more than enough to be quite dangerous and I think I hear him snickering at us.
