I don't mind working, holding my ground intellectually, artistically; but as a woman, oh, God, as a woman I want to be dominated.

Tagged: power exchange, Dom Space, transcendence
This notion is at least one explanation of what we call the power exchange. It is also the reason that so many of us feel the sharp focus of illumination as we come away from a successful scene.
