Sometimes, one partner has a strong need to be submissive, but their significant other may not have dominant tendencies. In such cases, finding a shared Dominant (Dom) can be a viable and fulfilling solution. This page offers guidance and support for couples navigating this situation.

Understanding the Dynamic

When one partner desires a submissive role and the other does not naturally gravitate towards dominance, it can create a disconnect in the relationship. It’s essential to approach this dynamic with openness, communication, and mutual respect to find a solution that works for both partners.

Key Steps to Navigate This Dynamic:

1. Open and Honest Communication:
   • Discuss Desires and Needs: Both partners should openly discuss their desires, needs, and boundaries. It’s crucial to understand each other’s perspectives and feelings.
   • Express Concerns: Address any concerns or fears about introducing a third party (the shared Dom) into the relationship.
2. Establish Mutual Consent:
   • Mutual Agreement: Both partners must consent to exploring the idea of a shared Dom. This decision should be made together, ensuring both feel comfortable and respected.
   • Define Boundaries: Clearly define the boundaries and limits for the shared Dom’s involvement in the relationship.
3. Seek Professional Guidance:
   • Counseling: Consider seeking the help of a relationship counselor or therapist who understands D/s dynamics. They can provide professional advice and facilitate healthy communication.
   • Expert Resources: Utilize educational resources to better understand the dynamics and implications of introducing a shared Dom.

3. Set Clear Expectations:
   • Roles and Responsibilities: Clearly outline the roles and responsibilities of the shared Dom. Define what each partner expects from this arrangement.
   • Communication Protocols: Establish communication protocols to ensure transparency and ongoing consent.
