The Dominant archetype thrives on control, authority, and the power to shape experience. Whether through rules, rituals, restraint, or energy, Dominants guide their partners into deeper states of trust, surrender, and connection. Good dominance isn’t just about holding power—it’s about holding space. A skilled Dominant listens, watches, and leads with emotional intelligence and ethical awareness. From soft and nurturing to firm and commanding, Dominance can take many forms—but it always starts with consent, presence, and trust.
