Its all about the Power





The power exchange part of an escort encounter is interesting. Most would assume the power is held by the man - the client. He is paying for sex so has the power. However I feel it is - and perhaps has to be for safety - the opposite. The escort lays down the rules on what can and cannot take place. He sets the boundaries - the hard limits if you like. These are necessary to protect his emotional safety as well as his physical safety. On the escort websites there are long lists in the services often of what they do or do not provide. The FAQ pages emphasise this even more. Very, very few escorts advertise themselves as Submissive though many will provide Master Dom services.

They are the ones who need to be in power in this exchange. If the man (client) was in charge - then why would he have to pay? LOL

So much of relationships is about power and our interpretation of this. That I guess is what Master D/s and BDSM is all about. Even in D/s and BDSM there are long disputes about the power.  An example of this would be discussions on "topping from the bottom". Perhaps all relationships are about power but Master D/s is more open about it. Perhaps also Master D/s is the only one where one partner claims to desire to be the one to relinquish all power to the other.

Is Master D/s just different ends of a continuum of power exchange within all relationships?
