~Essential BDSM~
1. Honesty. Without honesty, there can be no trust. Without trust D/s is nothing.
2. Trust. Trust is sometimes given freely or it is given after a long slog. D/s relationships rely on trust as the depths physically, emotionally and mentally can surpass vanilla relationships.
3. Love. Without love, the control a Dominant can have over a submissive, is dangerous. These are real people, real emotions.
4. Communication. How you communicate youre desires is your choice - but communicate! Take time to learn about your partner, learn about their needs, their requirements.
5. Self Respect. Value yourself. Being a submissive does not mean you are a doormat. Being a dominant does not mean you treat people like a doormat.
6. Patience. Learn to grow together. Take your time to explore each other, love each other, and respect each other.
