This section of the site is for and about Dominants interested in a D/s relationship. The Dom has a great deal of responsibility upon his shoulders. He has chosen to care for another human being and control many, if not all, aspects of a submissives life.

I have compiled the most useful articles I could find regarding dominance. Be sure to stop back as I will be adding more to this section.

Qualities of a Successful Dom
Very few people actually have what it takes to be successful dominants, and real dominants are actually quite rare, as many more people have the desire to dominate someone sadomasochistically than have the ability to do it well.
