I have learned so much about trust and power through sex and particularly with the practice of Shibari. Despite my position as the “Dominant” party, I only have as much power as my “Submissive” gives me. I provide the pleasure and gratification she seeks and allow her to guide me through what she wants, needs, and desires. She trusts me and gives herself to me in exchange for a safe space to feel wanted, appreciated, and cared for through communication and touch.
