On the converse, toxic submission outsources responsibility to the Dominant without accountabilty. #SacMAsT

Leadership differs in its application with D/s vs. M/s dynamics. Within the M/s dynamic, presence & demand applies at ALL times. "I am, at all times, Master." #SacMAsT

Good leadership is often invisible. Leaders do the work without seeking acclaim. Recognition is not the mission. #SacMAsT

Leadership within Dominance is the willingness to accept responsibility & accountability for the privilege of being a Dominant.
Toxic Dominance is the pursuit of Dominant privilege without assuming responsibility & accountability.

The discussion has morphed into a discussion of toxic Dominance with inputs from Dominants & submissives alike. #SacMAsT

My take: I think of the social sphere & the cadres of 19YO FinDom Masters who may not understand the responsibility of being a Dominant vs. the Dom who expresses care for subs through guidance & consideration of needs/wants/limits/etc. #SacMAsT

My take: Dominance is an expression, a container; leadership is but one very subjective aspect that one puts in that container. Using a military example, a fresh Butter Bar Lt. tends to use domination to get their way vice a seasoned Sergeant who understands the mission, the troops, etc. #SacMAsT

One take: Dominating does not necessarily mean leading but leading entails how you are heard, seen, your stance, how you hold authority & space. #SacMAsT

Leadership change is coming for #SacMAsT as a new Director assumes the role starting next month. Nocturnal has been Director since June 2023; sad to see him go but happy to see him progressing in another space.

Again, communication is the bedrock regardless of when intent is introduced in the M/s dynamic. It can be from the get-go or later on. When there's a shift or if there is a shift wanted in the dynamic, being able to communicate is vital #SacMAsT

An M/s dynamic does not necessarily need to be comprised of romantic intent; love can a part of it but it's not necessarily steeped in romance. #SacMAsT

Intention within M/s dynamics begins when:
- Parts start to want one another.
- When want becomes need.
- Desire becomes devotion.
- Play becomes practice.
Intention can start early on in the dynamic and tilts as it develops. #SacMAsT

When an M/s in solely reliant on scenes, burnout can occur. Take time to develop the dynamic. Seek maturity in your needs. #SacMAsT

Know yourself & what you have to offer to someone who may be interested in exploring with you. The more specific the want, the smaller the pool can be. #SacMAsT

M/s dynamics take time. Do not try to skip steps into a serious dynamic right away. Date with the intention of learning & exploring with someone.
i.e., Approaching me & immediately wanting a hardcore TPE dynamic before we've even met is a fast track to moving on. #SacMAsT
