Power Exchange

I feel that power in itself is sensual. For the Mistress, the idea of power is thrilling. For the submissive, the idea of powerlessness is undeniably erotic. Some men submit willingly, some like the illusion of being forced and some like to put up a bit of a fight which I consider as testing the Mistress. If he puts up a struggle with her direction it could be because he is unsure about surrendering his control or he enjoys provoking the Mistress on some level so she can punish him. For those involved in casual D/s relationship (say mainly BDSM scening), the exchange of power is a game that is played for a certain length of time. Although the experience is real, the fact that the exchange is only temporary makes it erotically stimulating. In a 24/7 D/s relationship, it is always simmering just below the surface. Roles are firmly established and held to on a deeper level regardless of any situation that the couple may find themselves in.
