To be Dominant is not to be domineering. Much like submission, Dominance is a spectrum. It varies greatly across all shapes, sizes, genders, and more. With Dominance comes great responsibility to cherish the gift and work that a right of the slash has given them. These quotes about Dominance highlight that dangerous, yet alluring, role.
