How to be a Real Dom/me
So youâve learned to hypnotize and youâve found the hypnokink world. Fun, isnât it? You say some words, tell people to do things, they think itâs fun; everyoneâs happy. âThis is so coolâ, you think â and it is! Then you discover many people see you as a Dom/me, (confusing the terms âTistâ and âDom/meâ), you discover you can boss them around, get what you want, wield power, and they like it! The power feels really good. Even cooler! Everyoneâs still happy and a world has opened up before you. Welcome. :)
At this point you have a choice. You can choose to remain an internet insta-dom/me; after all there are plenty of people with fantasies of being hypnotized and dominated, sitting behind keyboards or in front of cams. Quick and easy. Youâre in charge, they obey. You can choose to think this makes you âstrongerâ than the person youâre âtizing, and theyâre âweakâ; you can even choose to treat them that way. You can get to be the confident hotshot, that you perhaps canât be irl, you can make yourself  better than them, perhaps boost your self-esteem. You can Be Someone. Theyâre saying âyesâ to you, so you can do what you want; this is kink, so the usual social rules donât really count here, do they? [fact check: they do.]
Or you can grow into being a real dom/me. You can choose to see the person opposite you as an equal human being, with a kink that meshes well with your own. You can choose to respect and appreciate them for submitting to you, which enables you to do what you enjoy: dominating them. You can turn them into a drooling, subby mess, exert control, feel the power course through your veins - and then part from each other after a session, with that great feeling of having had a mutual good time, probably with more to come.
The difference is simple: just choose not to be a dick. Be a decent human being who shows respect for the person in front of you. Grow into your power and be worthy of it. Realise that submissives arenât doormats for you to wipe your feet on. Receive the power and obedience they give you as a gift and appreciate it. We all need to feel valued. A submissive who feels valued will want to trust and submit to you even more and respect you back. Thatâs really going to boost your self-esteem. Itâs a win-win. Thatâs what makes for good kink. Thatâs why we do it.
Itâs actually not hard. Just make the choice not to be a dick.
