    Yeah but this feels like the other extreme. I’m in a 24/7 dynamic and have been for several years. I’ve also been heavily involved in power exchange communities (including irl) for that time. Praise is part of it, and an important part, but so is harshness, punishment is one of the critical elements of many lifestyle dynamics and one I vocally advocate for the use of as a submissive.

    For how I’d describe the long term power exchange is as a relationship with a power exchange. Caregiving is a kink but it’s one I see as much more common for subs than for doms

      Fair. Lot‘s of kink styled out there. I just think hers is valid too. I do standby the idea that care is needed for healthy long term 24/7 power exchange dynamics. It just might be expressed differently.

        I agree. I guess I’m just sick of seeing bdsm being depicted overly cutesy and ignoring that it often involves pain for the sake of pain
