President Bush tells us he’s the decider-in-chief. How do ProDommes see their place in power relationships?
But dubbing oneself “the decider” is often much less about the end product — a new stove, a vacation, a cabinet member — than it is about expressing power. Normally, in articles like this, you would have arrived at the part where a marriage therapist and sociologist would weigh in. But what about a dominatrix, whose trade revolves around power relationships?
Mistress Jennifer Hunter, using her professional name, says that many women who work for her enjoy exerting power, while male customers are more interested in “creating the illusion of giving up control.”
“It has been the case that I have had a staff of women disproportionately weighted with nurses,” Ms. Hunter said. “Time and time again, they would tell me that they were really under the sway of rude doctors and they absolutely loved wresting control.”
