Responsibility and Integrity I think are the most important values or traits a Dominant could ever have all the rest is preference.

But resposibility and integrity could also be considered preference. i know that there are irresponsible and lacking intergrity people out there and people who seem to find that kind of shall i say more bad boy type of person to be highly attractive becouse of the fact they lack those.

I'd add honesty, communicative and humility.

I agreed with this until the highlighted phrase. IMNSHO, people must be responsible for themselves, including submissives. Accountability for your own actions is paramount. It is what makes grown people adults.

There are many fine qualities that make up a dominant's personality. I find responsibility to be one of them, not foremost. I believe them all to be of equal value. garbar6 said it best. "Good sense of humor.  No one should take themselves too seriously. ". A-bloody-men.


Stay safe, play nice, & share your toys w/ others...

Status: offline 		I'm going to vote for control.  The things that happen in a scene make hormones run high and that can be dangerous if the domme lets it get to her.  For example, I love to flog.  It makes me feel empowered when something (in the vanilla world) has made me feel powerless.  It's a great way to work out anger, stress, frustration.  But I can't let these emotions make me lose control of myself because then I might hurt someone (in a not good way).  I have to be able to ride the wave emotionally while reigning myself in physically for the sake of my sub.
