Trust is VERY important.
Trust not to injure, or damage permanently.
Trust the Dom to use his best judgment in "play".
Trust the Dom to be truthful.
Trust the Dom not to emotionally, mentally or physically abuse you.
Trust the Dom to keep his commitment to you and the relationship.
Trust the Dom to never abandon you.
Trust the Dom to never cheat on you.
Trust the Dom to not seek others and destroy your relationship. (Poly lifestyles have defined rules and never allowing another to destroy your relationship is critical)
Trust is negotiated codependence.
Communication is a MUST...but you must be willing to BE vulnerable to one another, sharing you inner most secrets and thoughts. Talk...talk...and talk some more.
TPE or EPE is NOT a fantasy....some folks think that you are mentally off if you live like this or think you are living in a fantasy world....this is NOT the case.
The submissive/property is NOT a door-mat...not a child (and is NOT treated like one except maybe in "play")...it is NOT an escape from responsibilities (you have more responsibility than ever in TPE or EPE)
Just because you are in TPE or EPE does not mean you as a submissive/property will not be a mom...a wife...a lover...a CEO...you just now have an added responsibility...your Master
