Domination isn’t done with pity. Whether you’re slapping him, f*cking his 4x, spitting in a f4**øt’s face, or just tearing into the w*rm with your mouth — your head has to be in the right place. Power exchange is hierarchical by nature. Unequal by nature. Its purpose is to shrink one side so the other can stand over it. I’m not saying every scene has to be impact, shouting, or heavy steps. That’s not the point. I’m talking about the intention that moves a Dominant to do any of those things — including the one that lets him give an order with nothing but a look. Just point. Point his finger at what he wants and have that order obeyed. Even silence has to be hierarchical. Even affection and care have to be given without pity, without mercy. When the scene ends, you offer aftercare. Not pity. Not mercy. They’re not the same thing. If the feeling of pity starts moving through you, I suggest you don’t step into a domination scene. It can take you somewhere else.
