My next Sub will be my last. She will be as devoted to me as I am to her. She will trust in my loyalty and my judgement. She will feel safe in my presence and still feel my protection in my absence. She will never mistake sensitivity and caring for weakness.
The submissive's safety is first and foremost. This includes emotional safety as well as physical safety.
The submissive should always know where she stands, why something is happening, and should feel safe to voice her concerns, needs, and desires.
If a submissive feels she is not trusted, she will always feel she is failing you in some way.
Punishment should never be administered in anger. It should always be with a loving hand when you are calm and thinking clearly.
Own up to mistakes and say you are sorry.
Always encourage your submissive to be the best she can be.
Create well negotiated, firm boundaries. A submissive desires order and needs to know that when she crosses a line she will be consistently punished.
Always ensure that your submissive knows she is valued.
Do not abandon a submissive when you wish to end a relationship.
