Let's start with my title.
There are a number who give
themselves the most fanciful of names that frankly, often, leave them hoisted
by their own petard.
I am a most grounded and level-headed man. Most Doms/Masters or
professional dominants, choose a name that embodies them. How did I select
mine? There is double-entendre behind 'Strokes' - it may mean with a whip - it
may be with the gentleness of my hand's caress.
I am far more interested in your psychology and what makes you tick than I am in satisfying
my own ego.
What makes me the Master that I
am?

The answer is twofold. Firstly,
the command and control: from captaining the Rugby Team as a youngster through
a public school education to joining the British Army as an Officer and more recently, in civilian life, as a Site
Manager building up to 300 homes with 120+ overgrown Neanderthals in hard hats
and steel toe boots working under me. All of this being the absolute clichéd
Testosterone Club - I have always been the Alpha Male - I instinctively have
lead and taken control ... I am a proud
Scotsman - an educated barbarian. Rule 1 in my book is that one can never treat
all the same way; everyone is individual and
unique and as such needs to have
the way in which they are treated tailored to their own motivational influences
- some are core to the individual whilst others are circumstantial to that
moment in time. Stick does most certainly have its place but care no less so!
Secondly, my regard for women:
Perhaps, as a direct result of my working life, I have an enormous appreciation
of women and anything that I regard as
epitomising femininity - from long hair to nails, make-up to stilettos ...
and that's just on a physical level. I
will also ALWAYS find a way in to your soul. Women are generally far more
sensual than men - your emotions run deeper - oft' with skills highly attuned
to disguising them as a defence mechanism - one of my main proven skills/curses
through the years has been to see through them. Female diplomacy is invariably
superior to that of most men, self included, yet my directness usually has
shock value. I see women as anything but inferior ... Simply the yin to my
yang. Ultimately - they have been my greatest fascination - the general
difference in their behaviour from that of the male psyche being far more
appealing. No less of a curiosity has been watching the struggle that they have
contended with over the years. This is one of the main reasons that I believe
BDSM has remained a taboo.

For the last 100 years Society has been telling women that
they need to stand tall as equals: beginning
with the likes of Emmeline
Pankhurst and the Suffragettes through to taking-on what was formerly viewed as
men's roles through the 'Great Wars', only to have them removed when the men
returned home, to having role-models ranging from Mother Theresa to Madonna,
Margaret Thatcher to the English Monarch. Yet how many have complained that
they have a partner who does not 'behave like a man' or that they have not felt
'protected and /or cared for'!? There is as much a power struggle WITHIN for
many women as there is an open struggle for equality. For as long as you have
been able to remember Society has dictated that you need to continue that
battle. Is it not indeed the stronger women that can face the world and say,
"This is not necessarily my need or at least not in all regards!"?
Indeed most of the women that I have dominated and whom have
become my BDSM submissive / slave over the years have been bright, articulate,
well educated and, in many cases highly successful in their careers; ranging from
legal professionals to high-powered business women to one of my most recent, I
have named her 'rouge', who heads-up one of the UK's most prestigious schools
of medical learning.
I come from a world of regimentation, hard and fast rules of
order, structure and discipline. Can you imagine a platoon of soldiers in
battle deciding that they would all 'do their own thing'? I have not only
'served' my nation but also a Mistress to learn a number of protocols within
the Scene many years ago. I am a great believer in the ancient Chinese proverb,
"I hear - I forget; I see - I remember; I do - I understand". Order,
reverence, humility and etiquette - all are immensely valued by Me - all will
be practiced by you!
Bondage for beginners I admire this article for the well-researched content and excellent wording. I got so involved in this material that I couldn’t stop reading. I am impressed with your work and skill. Thank you so much.
