My perality is paternalistic, authoritarian and dominant Jewish mother type. Everyone seems to have a different definition of what this lifestyle entails or should entail. I do not believe in generalizations. I only seek what works for me. I have been involved in a dominant lifestyle for a many years now. What I have learned is that without the establishment of trust, it merely becomes a fleeting entertaining game. It’s my responsibility to garner your trust, and it’s your choice to offer that – and neither happens without an underlying sense of respect. Only then will I be able to control your mind and, by definition, body. I enjoy the psychology of control and all the feelings it is capable of producing in both the recipient and the one exercising the control. In the lifestyle, I am a Dominant. It's not role play. It's who I am inside. It doesn't mean that I am all about me, or that I'm arrogant, selfish and domineering. It means that I need to have that power exchange with someone, I need to have that level of responsibility, care,and stewardship. Within that dynamic, levels of power ebb and flow, depending on the people involved and their needs/limits. I truly enjoy my role as a mentor, leader, caretaker, friend, and evil bitch. I am a poly per. It doesn't mean I always have to be in a poly relationship, but it means I am able too, and do, love different people different ways within the D/s dynamic. I hold my few friends close and dear and I'm always looking for more good friends. I'd like to meet friends, past, present, and potential. That being said I am a rather aggressive per, open minded, always looking for experiences or circumstances that push my limits and boundaries
