This so well captures the elements of trust and pleasure and sensory engagement that are exactly my experience in this type of play. Candidly, though I’ve been practicing this for years, I never knew there was an encompassing term out there for it (other than a somewhat misleading “soft bondage” or focus on a specific proclivity, such as “teased orgasms”). The elements of humiliation and pain, though having their place in the overall goal of pleasure, never were the front-and-center of my sessions with partners. Mostly they are things I employ only if they incented a specific partner to greater arousal. In hindsight it is the obvious term: I’ve labeled myself “sensualist” on Fetlife since I started there. I love learning something new, especially when it falls into such familiar territory. I greatly hope this gives some readers new to BDSM a sense of the variety dominance styles out there to enjoy. I’m sure there will be some purists who dispute that this even “qualifies” as BDSM or dominance (there always are) but as you so aptly point out: you do what works for you and your partner. There are many paths to enjoyment. Well done!
