Not All Doms Deserve Her...

Mar's story didn’t begin with sex... It began with curiosity.

She was young when she first got her hands on a computer and, like many, found herself exploring porn. But while other kids might’ve clicked, watched, and moved on, Mar stayed. She studied. She watched BDSM clips not to get off, but to understand. She remembers thinking, “What is this? I want to know.” That question stayed with her. It shaped her.

In those early years, she tried to replicate what she saw. She bought rope. Handcuffs. Experimented solo. But it didn’t satisfy her... because the dynamic was missing. She knew she was a submissive, and without a Dominant, the acts felt hollow. What she craved wasn’t pain or performance. It was exchange.

And then she met someone who was open-minded enough to try.

First Steps Into Power Exchange

He wasn’t perfect, but he was willing. He tied her up. He gave light commands. He did what others refused to do... he met her where she was.

Before him, most men recoiled.

“I don’t know my strength.”
“I could never hurt a woman.”

They said these things while ignoring the truth that for her, being handled, being commanded, was a form of trust. And when someone finally offered that trust in return, it felt like, “Yes, thank you.” She didn’t need perfection. She just needed someone who understood the dynamic was mutual.

Control, Communication, and Consent

Mar doesn’t play lightly with power.

She’s had to learn (the hard way), that even as a sub, she has to set the rules. She says, “If I don’t want to do it for you, it’s not happening.” That’s not attitude. That’s the contract.

She’s lived through anxiety and depression. There are days where rough play would wreck her, not please her. “Even though I like being called names or handled,” she says, “I don’t want that every day.” A true partner would notice. Or better yet, ask.

Now, she says, “It’s always a conversation.” Whether verbal or through body language, she’s become fluent in boundary-setting. And she expects the same emotional literacy from others.

From Depletion to Self-Worth

Mar didn’t grow up feeling sexy. She didn’t grow up feeling wanted. Her mom called her ugly. Kids bullied her. She internalized it: “Why am I here?”

But the lifestyle, and dating in general, cracked something open. She started seeing messages from men saying she was beautiful. That she deserved to be pleased.

She didn’t believe it at first.

But slowly, she started dressing for herself. She went out with no makeup, in sweatpants, and felt free. She looked in the mirror and saw someone worth pleasuring. Not just sexually... but emotionally, spiritually, mentally.

“I used to be in the house all the time,” she says. “Now, I’m a ghost on the weekends.” She lives out loud. And she doesn’t apologize for it.

Sex Is Earned, Not Given

Mar has a high sex drive. She’s openly kinky. She loves being blindfolded, tied up, handled with force. But that doesn’t mean she’s easy.

“I haven’t had sex since early last year,” she says.

She’s a sapiosexual, turned on by intelligence and conversation. She can’t get wet for a man who doesn’t understand emotional pacing, safety, and mutual care. And she’s never letting a man tie her up until she knows who he is. “You could do God knows what to me. I need to know I’m safe.”

She says the first time she sleeps with someone, there’s no BDSM. Just connection. Just presence. “I need to know you care about me.”

When Doms Get It Wrong

Not every man has honored her truth.

One demanded phone sex, saying, “It’s for me, not for you.” That was the last time she spoke to him.

Another told her, “I said it, so you have to do it.” That was an instant no.

Mar has learned how to walk away. She can spot lazy Doms, selfish men, and those who confuse control with cruelty. She watches for effort — how they message, how they plan dates, how they ask questions.

One guy stood out. He asked her favorite food. She said Korean BBQ. He said, “Can I take you there?” That was Dom energy. Not dominance-by-force, but by care.

Beyond The Bedroom

There’s more to Mar than kink. She’s a traveler. A future data analyst. A dog lover. An anime fan. She plans solo trips. She walks the beach. She throws events. She’s a full human.

And she wants the world to know that the lifestyle isn’t just sex. It’s conversations. Community. Communication. There are dungeons. Munches. Taco Tuesday meetups. And some events? People just sit and talk.

“I could talk about sex all day,” she says. “But it’s only part of me.”

Her Advice To Others

To women entering the lifestyle:
Be direct. Set your boundaries. And walk away from men who challenge them.

To men:
Don’t assume you’re a Dom because of porn or titles. Ask questions. Listen. Earn her submission.

To everyone:
You’re not crazy. What you want is not too much. The partner you’re dreaming of? They exist.

If she could talk to her younger self, she’d say: “Get out of your head. Go with your first thought. Stop second-guessing your worth.”

Because she knows now... her submission isn’t weakness. It’s a gift. One that deserves respect. One that demands connection. And one that no one gets access to unless they see her, hear her, and earn her.

How This Story Applies To You:

Mar’s story isn’t just about sex. It’s about reclamation.

If you’ve ever felt like your power was taken from you... whether emotionally, sexually, or spiritually... her journey is a reminder that you can get it back. Slowly. Gently. On your own terms.

She didn’t rush. She didn’t pretend. She rebuilt her sense of safety from the inside out. And she learned to ask herself the deeper questions:
Do I actually want this? Do I feel safe? Am I being honest with myself?

That’s the work.

So if you’re navigating your own path in the lifestyle, or just trying to reclaim intimacy in your life, here’s what Mar teaches us:

You don’t need to prove your healing to anyone.

You don’t owe anyone your body, no matter how “free” the room feels.

Your safety is sacred.

Slowness is strength.

Her story is a reminder: The lifestyle isn’t about how far you’ll go. It’s about how deeply you’re willing to know yourself.

And that’s something everyone, whether brand new or experienced, needs to remember.
