Motivation for Domination

What motivates you to erotically dominate someone else? What feelings do you experience during and after a session or, if you live "the life", when you think about it during a day.

Open to all, but I am most interested in the women's point of view. That doesn't mean I, and/or others, won't read and consider a male point of view. Maybe save the submissive's/bottom's POV for another thread?

Well this is an interesting question.

I have always considered myself to be a submissive ( hence my user name).,however about a year ago now, a friend suggested I should try to be a Dr to him occasionally.

This friend is also my Dom. However the request was not made as his " Dom persona" nontheless ,I suppose if I am truly honest, I only agreed because I wanted to please him.

Turns out I actually do enjoy it.

I also have a sub, again this was during a chat with him, he told me he craved a woman to humiliate him , so again as a way of pleasing him I agreed to become his Domme.

Feelings I experience?

During a session I am very much " in the zone" almost like an actress I suppose.

After session I am always surprised at how aroused I am and will often mastrubate whilst rewinding the consultation in my mind.

Good question! In our home my wife and I have a fairly 'democratic relationship'! Domination anyway is not really a part of our living arrangement in general broader sense! Though it does come into play I suppose in some of our role play which centers primarily around spanking anyway.

Open to all, but I am most interested in the women's point of view. That doesn't mean I, and/or others, won't read and consider a male point of view.

Males can be a Dom as well so giving their view would give weight to both sides of the topic.

Now a bit for my reason for Dominating my sub. I am more comfortable being in charge. Being the organizer and such. It just is who I am. Being the firstborn, the guardian of the younger siblings, was my role and it just carried over into adulthood and marriage.

Maybe after thinking about it I'll come up with more to add.

Being somewhat of a control-freak.... liking to have all my things in their proper place..... everything neat and clean....
