Many and varied are the guides and resources for those who are new to the submissive lifestyle, but those who are new to the Dominant side appear to have limited avenues to explore. Are the expectations for the Dominant in relationships higher? Should they be? What types of skills are essential? Are they physical skills, like flogging, using the single tail whip, or rope bondage? Is there something deeper, more complicated than that? Sir Guy will discuss the physical, spiritual, and psychological dimensions of Dominance, as well as share his personal journey, mistakes, and all. Topics include the attributes of leadership, command presence, and other poignant aspects using military, religious, and business sources and models to explore and develop Dominance for the beginner.
