The Beast?
A little while back swan of the Heron Clan posted about 'the beast', which is meant to lurk inside every Dom, and which many subs/slaves try to unleash or set free: http://theheronclan.blogspot.com/2010/05/beast.htmlIt got me thinking about whether or not Sir even has this 'beast' inside Him, and if He did would i want to deliberately encourage this side of Him out? i think the answer to both those questions is no!
To be honest i don't think Sir has this 'beast' thing inside of Him. Yes He likes to inflict pain on me sometimes, yes He has desires that some would consider 'dark', yes He is somewhat of a sadist, but i believe that He is always in control of those desires and isn't battling against them spiralling out of control at any point. Which is what the 'beast' idea suggests to me - that the Dom is fighting an inner battle to keep the true extent of their desires reined in because should they give vent to their deepest urges then they would no longer be in control of them and could potentially cause harm to their sub. Why anyone would want their Dom out of control and in a state to potentially cause real damage i do not know, and i'm also unsure how it would be possible to fully trust such a Dom. What would happen if the 'beast' was let out in the middle of a scene with the sub helpless to protect themself?
So i am grateful that there is no 'beast' inside of my Sir. That's just my opinion though and i realise that others may be excited by the idea that potentially there is no limit to the extent of their Dom's sadisticness. Each to their own.....

Libby -- I think this whole notion of "the beast" that might lurk inside of a sadistic dominant is both interesting and problematic. You point to the "out of control" connotation that this image evokes, and I agree that putting oneself in the hands of an out of control sadist is not entirely prudent or safe. I do realize that there are those who find the idea somehow "hot," but I think it is just scary. I do believe that one of the benefits (for sadistic dominants) of power exchange relationships is that it allows then to explore and embrace their 'dark' side with the cooperation and companionship of their partner. That is a gift that only an aware and committed partner can give to a sadist and a dominant.
