The Art of Psychological Dominance: Why the Mind Is the Ultimate Tool
I have lived a kinky BDSM life for over 20 years. I identify as a Switch and have worked as a professional Domme for years. As a Switch, I regularly experience being a sub as well as a Domme. Knowing both sides of the coin allows me to better understand both perspectives and use that insight in my sessions. But that's not the skill I'm talking about today. I can use all the different kinds of whips, toys, and other devices. I have an extensive collection of kinky outfits: latex, PVC, leather, and even a nun costume. I have shoes, boots, and countless other kinky accessories. But the reality is that all of them are just props.
What Makes a Great Dominant
What makes a great Dominant is the ability to get inside a sub's head and twist it to their will. It's about getting to know them. It's about finding the keys to their psyche and planning accordingly. I give my sub clients "entry behavior protocols" for when they arrive, so I'm already in their heads before I even set eyes on them.
A Perfect Example: The Frozen Key
A few weeks ago, I had a client sub whose mind I completely captured. While we were planning the session, he told me he liked chastity play. So I instructed him that when he arrived (following the entry behavior protocols), he was to show me that he was wearing his chastity cage and hand me the key. I assured him I would return it at the end of the one-hour session. He arrived on time, followed protocols, showed me he was locked, and gave me the key. But I had a surprise waiting. I told him to get on his knees, then gave him a small measuring cup half full of ice.
I ordered him to hold it at chin height and look at the surface. As he did, I placed the key on the ice, topped it up with water, and put it in the freezer he was kneeling in front of. He watched the whole thing, and his eyes changed. He knew he was enslaved. I had his mind. I spent the next hour teasing the cage, teasing him. I even made him put on my strap-on and pleasure me; no pleasure for him, just sweet frustration and psychological control.
At the end of the hour, I took the frozen key out of the freezer and handed it to him, entombed in a large ice cube. It was perfect.
The Power of Quiet Control
While some Dominants think shouting is the way (unless the sub has previously expressed that they enjoy it), I find it amateurish. The best way to truly dominate a submissive is to get inside their head, look them in the eye, and simply state a command in a quiet, firm voice. It's magic for you, and magic for them.
The Ultimate Skill
The best skill a Dominant can have is their own mind and its ability to penetrate a sub's psyche. It's from there that you can truly enslave them and bend them to your will. There is no sensation like it.
