How Exclusivity Makes Sex & BDSM Hotter!

In an age of Internet hook-ups, instant gratification, being hyper-connected via social media, tweeting naked photos out to the world and disposable play partners, I believe the art of seduction & intimacy has been lost. I am not sure if it because people fear intimacy these days or the internet offers access to so many new relationships that people are constantly looking for “Relationship Upgrade” with the next person they “Like” or it is the effects of Internet porn on mainstream society.

Dominant Male Seeks Exclusive Relationship:

I need to confess something deeply personal. I have one of the rarest kinks found on FetLife … I am a Serial Monogamist Dom!

As a single, unattached Dom male I honestly want an exclusive, committed long-term relationship with ONE incredibly special woman: Not a FWB, not a fuckbuddy, not a play partner, not a stable of subs: an actual real exclusive relationship. I want just one woman in my life from whom I get everything I crave emotionally and sexually for the long-term. I want a depth of connection.

I was married for 20 years and i have been divorced for 6 years now. So I fully understand what it is like to be in a committed relationship and I also know who I am as a man and what I want from life and from a partner…

Being The Kinkiest Freak:

In the world of kink & FetLife, I often feel I am the “Freakiest” in the room as a Sensual Dom (when most Doms seem to be Sadists) looking for a long-term relationship (when everyone seems to be looking for play partners). I was recently told that my unusual monogamy fetish makes me quite “freaky” amongst all the Doms of FetLife. ;D How ironic!

To be clear, I am not claiming to be some choir boy. I have sowed my fair share of wild oats. It was a phase of my life when the thrill of new conquests and wild sexual adventures were my focus. I don’t regret that phase in my life because it gave the opportunity to experience the love of many amazing women, to experience different kinds of love and develop my sense of my own sexuality and develop a deep understanding of women, sex, love and relationships. And I don’t feel I missed anything looking back on my life. I feel whole as a result of my experiences and my journey.

Would I return to those of days of numerous hot female partners (i.e. My male slut years)? Never! Meaningless “Genital Aerobics” without any deep emotional connection to a partner left me feeling empty and soul-less with time. I was once told that you leave a small piece of yourself with every sexual partner you have and if you have too many sexual partners, you will feel hollow…

Monogamy: Not For Everyone or All Times

I am not saying everyone should have exclusive relationships. In fact, I believe there are phases in life when having meaningless sex with various partners for a time helps heal emotional wounds. I have watched many friends “fuck their way back to being whole and emotionally available” after an ugly, painful divorce. Unfortunately, some people never quite leave this phase and remain emotionally unavailable for years.

John Stewart of the Daily Show once made the joke “Do you know why Islamic terrorists martyr themselves in suicide bombings? They are promised 72 virgins in heaven… I am not sure about you but after the first 2 or 3 virgins, won’t you really want someone who knows what they are doing in bed?”… It’s a freaking hilarious joke despite being somewhat politically inappropriate, it is true at the core. At this stage in life, you want to have a partner who is open-minded and has fully embraced their sexuality.

I am saying, for some of us, we are wired for exclusivity and commitment. We crave the deep emotional bond and intimacy that comes with being sexually exclusive as a couple. That is not to say that as an exclusive couple you cannot also bring in other people on occasion to try new adventures and new experiences but merely there are no secrets and both parties are involved in the adventures and the focus remains on each others happiness.

The Circle of Energy:

I describe the nature of a relationship between two people as a circle of energy. As the energy flows between the two people exclusively, the energy grows and amplifies to energize both people in the relationship and all aspects of their lives – professionally, personally, emotionally. As people focus on other people or other priorities outside the relationship, the energy of the circle dissipates – sometime temporarily and sometime permanently. And if the relationship becomes dysfunctional, the circle begins to suck the energy from both parties.

As an example, watch different couples who are out for dinner in a restaurant. They say we communicate 80% through non-verbal communications. I often observe younger men stealing glances at other attractive women in the room thinking they are getting away with the passing glance with no implications. However, if you carefully watch the face and body language of their female partner, you can see the energy draining from her entire body. After she has spent hours getting dressed up to look really great for a special dinner just for him, his actions are telling her she is not pretty enough or sexy enough or hot enough for him and he wants to keep his options open. Then watch another couple who is totally engrossed in each other – making constant eye contact, engaged in their conversation, laughing with each other, oblivious to everyone around them. Their energy only seems to grow over the course of the evening. They are both signalling no one else matters except you. Both these examples beautifully illustrate “The Circle of Energy” between couples. For some of us, commitment & exclusivity makes love, life & sex much hotter…

Beautiful Traditions of Love & Affection:

Years ago I worked overseas on an international project. One of my closest friends from work and his new bride worked on the project with me. I noticed that it always took him a very long time to come to the door whenever I picked him up in the morning. So one evening while we were cooking dinner together, I asked her, what takes him so long to come to the door. She confessed they had a secret tradition as a couple: a 3-minute goodbye kiss. Take a moment and time how long a 3-minute kiss actually is. It is freaking long…

She explained to me she didn’t like how most couples superficially pecked each other good bye in the morning and that every morning she wanted something more meaningful – Her 3-minute kiss said I love you, have a great day, I already miss you and hurry home. It was her way of sending him off in to the world and ensuring he would also come back to her.

She later confessed that there was a matching 3-minute welcome home kiss when he got back after work that said – I am so glad you are home, I missed you all day and you are wearing too many clothes…

Isn’t that so beautiful and brilliant! If you have a 3-minute kiss before going to work, there is no way you will ever think of any other woman! To this day I cannot think of a more beautiful and loving tradition for a couple could have to stay connected. What a simple way for keeping the chemistry and sparks flying in any relationship for years to come… I definitely want my 3-minute kiss next time around…

Competitive Giving:

I believe in the “Christmas Spirit of sex and love” – Give generously and without expectations then you will receive many more gifts than you can every imagine in return…

I observe couples who are very successful and happy in their relationships. One common thread I have noticed amongst them all is something I call “competitive giving”. They are selfless in the pursuit of making their partner happy and successful in all aspects of their lives – emotional, profession, financial and sexual. Of course, this requires that both people in the relationship are “givers” who are both putting energy and effort “into” the relationship.

Years ago, I was given a surprise birthday gift of my first FFM 3some by my partner. What surprised me most about this experience was my reaction and my emotions – it was completely different than I imagined. During the whole session I was completely focused on kissing and caressing my partner while her GF performed oral sex then rode me… My focus was not on two women, it was purely on being connected with my partner. I felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude and intimacy for her incredible emotional sacrifice to fulfill my sexual fantasy.

Afterwards I asked her what possessed her to arrange the 3some for me. She explained that during her first marriage, she had never cum during sex and I helped her become multi-orgasmic and a squirter. She had never imagined her body could have so many orgasms with a male partner. She actually believe her body could not cum with a man. And when she had told me she was BI-curious, I had suggested she go meet some women from online and explore that side of herself without me involved to see if it was really part of her. She explained that all those actions gave her a safe place to be herself. I gave generously to her emotional and sexual needs without ever asking for something in return. This made her want to give to me in the same generous manner. Competitive giver wanted: Apply within…

Trust & Intimacy:

Trust takes time and consistency of behaviour. If you want to see what a person really thinks, don’t listen to their words, watch their actions. It is the clearest indication of their thoughts, priorities and feelings.

Trust is something that cannot be rushed. Trust takes years to develop and can be wiped out in 2 seconds… With trust and commitment come the ability to be emotionally open, even about your most intimate aspect of yourself.

The more confident a woman feels with her man the more sexually expressive she will be and of course, deeper her submission. A part of domination is about leading her to places she didn’t even know she wanted to go yet.

The Riches of Exclusivity and Commitment:

I believe there is a highly loving and deeply sexual vixen hidden deep inside every woman. The role of any male partner is to give her an emotionally safe place where she can feel at ease to reveal her “Inner Vixen”, without fear of rejection, ridicule, or judgement.

To expose your true self to another person, especially your kinkiest, darkest desires and fantasies, takes an incredible level of trust. The foundation of emotional trust comes from knowing this person is committed to you. Commitment ensures what intimate details you share about yourself is a shared secret held in strictest confidence between the two of you.

Being The Trusted Keeper of Her Darkest Secrets

I am drawn to the persona of an Alpha submissive woman who projects a strong, confident, stylish, intelligent public image but craves to submit to a strong confident Dominant man in private . She has lots of armour and confidence on the outside but remains deeply feminine, fragile and soft on the inside…

As a Sensual Dominant man, I find that contradiction incredibly sexy, deeply erotic and very alluring. Giving her an emotional sanctuary from the outside world would be my deepest honour. Keeping her darkest secrets of who she really is the kind of deep intimacy I crave. The depth of intimacy that comes with being completely emotionally naked with a woman by knowing her deepest secrets, fears, fantasies and dreams is something I crave.

A man of honour and integrity takes those dark intimate secrets to his grave, treats her as a princess in public, defends her honour always and encourages her to achieve all her goals. Then, in return, I get the deliciously naughty vixen who will do anything I desire and wants to give me every fantasy I can imagine…

It is not that complicated…

  3. This piece brought tears to my eyes….it’s all I’ve ever wanted and have always been willing to give. My former husband (also of 20 years) never made me feel safe to be the sexual being that I am. The divorce gave me the great blessing of pursuing the 3-minute kiss. Now I am focusing on clearly understanding who I really am as a woman so that I can prepare myself for a relationship such as this.

  6. Dear DS – I am so happy that I found this article because I wanted to hear your comment on whether you prefer a love relationship or just casual encounters.

    One of the things that has surprised me about the bdsm community is that sex with random people almost seems like the norm. I am new to this, but cannot imagine how I could possibly share something so special and personal with many men (or women). Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts.

  9. Ahh this was so fulfilling, DominantSoul. I am a serial monogamist (with an alpha personality) in my vanilla/ professional world and since becoming interested in kink, I’m taken back in terms of how I explore submission as I navigate my desire to be monogamist within a community that’s so big on play partners and causal encounters. This filled me so much and makes me long to be patient to give myself and the gift of my complete sexual submission to someone very much like you. 😍

  10. I found your writing today, when I googled Alpha Submissive. I’ve spent all day reading what you have written. It has been a very enjoyable, educational and erotic day. 😉 This piece in particular resonates with me. I am wired for monogamy, and I know that without monogamy I will never be able to completely submit to a man. I am worth committing to. I shower my beloved with love, affection and service, as that is who I am.

    I am highly empathetic and sensitive to energy. I know exactly what you mean about the circle of energy and how energy dissipates. Energy follows attention. As a woman I take on the energy of the man I sleep with, the energy of his partners and then their partners, which is overwhelming in this poly world. Trust, submission, deep emotional connection, intimacy, love…the sharing of body and soul are sacred gifts that flourish with commitment. Thank you for speaking your truth, it gives others space to then speak theirs.

  12. Yes a super rare freaky kink for a Dom, As a sub omg admit this freaky kink your doomed ha. Not sure if that has something to do with lots of Dom’s are married too. Or just “ Male thing” don’t say the L word, want more and oh don’t go there with feelings. Kidding a bit with added sacasum, sorry. Known Dom’s that loved in D/s, saying it was a killer when it ended and avoid mixing love and D/s at all costs. Had a great D/s, no love. Had everything else respect, honesty, trust, and there for me if needed advice support in life. I certainly had lots of feelings, and would say I adored him not loved. But no comparison to D/s within loving relationship the connection and play is mind blowing. Energy flows to all parts of life and self. So for me has to be all or nothing. Boo hoo .

  13. Sorry forgot to add . Art of seduction, oh yes you reap what you sow. I think both Male and females are guilty of instance gratification. So much choice now at your finger tips which is a positive allowed me to discover my sub nature. It has its negatives I feel no one bothers getting to know you. It’s surface appearance. Swipe left, right am guilty of that one. Seems to me, makes you almost afraid to commit or spend time with one person as could miss out on something better. Next !!! Swipe. No seduction in that.

  14. For that deepest of connections, monogomous cant be beaten. Even with Poly agreements, favorites will get more attention, and the natural aquiring of a new sub means attention will be drawn away from prior subs because the new heart needs trust building and her ‘way’ to be established. Online becomes a juggling act. Fine if a Dom is just playing superficial games, but I myself loved the give and take of the deeper emotional exchange, that can become taxing energetically, because I genuinely care for every connection I make. Being like that means the most meaningful experiences become love exchanges and a Dom has to by natural order, if wanting to maintain integrity as a good Dom and not a callous, unemtional brute, release the ties of many and dedicate to one. I see hear that many subs crave that meaningful long lasting connection. I believe that finding ones self as Sub or Dom relies a lot on going through that phase of online swipe by coupling and Domming a harem or being a Sub in one. It helps us define our role in fulfilling the deeper aspects of what we truly desire, our way, and pursuing it for a longer lasting connection. Once we discover who we are, we can seek confidently and lingre in that three minute kiss with all the passion and desire it creates, freeing us to give ourselves completely over to the other in full trust.

  15. I loved that you decided to write about this topic. It is something that is not talked about in BDSM circles. While I’m not necessarily into the lifestyle, I like to try different things and learn about it to see if perhaps it maybe something I am into in the future. This topic is something that is very interesting to me because I haven’t met very many monogamous couples into BDSM. One couple I know on FB that has been together for 20+ years.
    As a writer, there are a lot of authors who I know that are erotica authors and are way deeply into kink and BDSM. A lot of these writers are female, and make it known to me time and time again that my love of monogamy is just a little bit weird. They talk about their ideal relationship would be having many men on tap, or perhaps even a harem. Would the men they were with be able to be with any women they wanted and keep them on the side? The answer is no most of the time. Something I don’t understand. The monogamy thing gets to me because it is assumed that my sex life suffers or that I am unhappy in some way. These women make snap judgements about me for it because of how I choose to love. Ironic, since I make no judgements about their kinky fetishes, longing to sleep with a different man, or even cheating on their partner, I always listen with honesty and understanding. Yet, cause I choose to be faithful and cultivating a loving trusting relationship, something is wrong with me. Monogamy, a lot of the times in the BDSM, in the world in general is something that seen as old fashioned.
    The other day, I was listening to a talk show and they were talking about celebrities and cheating. One of the women said that she believed it had to be accepted that when you were with a man, not a woman, but a man who was used to getting so much attention and on the road a lot you had to accept that cheating was going to happen. Say what? What happened to trusting someone to keep their word and stay committed to you and turning down temptation because what they have at home isn’t worth losing for one night. One woman said she would be more hurt if her husband left her, than she would if he cheated on her. When asked why, she said because her and her husband had a mortgage together, a house and kids and responsibilities that were important. How romantic and deeply fulfilling both emotionally and sexually.
    As you say a woman can’t really let herself go if she doesn’t trust her partner to take care of her. For me that goes for both emotions and sexually. If I’m to trust a man with my body, to show me things I never thought I would like, to push my boundaries and experiment with me than I have to be able to trust him to take care of me emotionally too. If he’s running around behind my back cheating, lying to me, not putting me first like I do him, not making me feel loved and cared for than how could I ever trust him completely? In this age where the first question on anyone’s mind no matter their age is, where’s my next conquest, I ask what happened to the love?
    As you said in the beginning, very accurately and well put, in the day and age of instant gratification and booty calls, leaving one person with no intention of ever seeing them again and moving onto the next one, stop and ask the question, have you ever built a deeper connection with someone? Have you felt like you wanted someone to be the first person you talking to in the morning and the last person you said good night to? Have you ever been so enamored with someone that you couldn’t wait to see them, not just for sexual purposes but because you enjoyed their company and that connection was like aphrodisiac to your mind and body, slowly building the excitement and tension within you until you felt like you were going to come apart? Those who would prefer many different lovers, that’s awesome, I prefer one and monogamy can be incredibly full filling, sexually satisfying and stimulating, the most trusting and deepest connection you can possibly develop with another person. Maybe it’s not for everyone and that’s fine, in a world of differences we are freaks because of this and that’s fine too. Thank you so much for your amazing piece. *kiss and hug*

  16. I found your blog today, and have commented on another post, and imagine I will comment on more before the night is through. Thank you for writing on this topic. I am a new sub and one of my biggest hesitations and fears with exploring this part of me is the lack of monogamy that seems prevalent in this community.
    I have not brought up this topic with my dom yet, though I know I should have. We were more focused on introducing me to this lifestyle and seeing if it would live up to my fantasy. Spoiler it does. Not to say we haven’t talked about my boundaries but this specific one we haven’t broached. I think because in todays day and age the DTR talk is such a minefield, and the “common wisdom” is to avoid it until more established or risk coming across as a stage 5 clinger. This train of thought was always at odds with my personality.
    One of my favorite parts of being a Sub so far has been how quickly my dom encouraged my emotional vulnerability. In our first virtual conversation I confessed fears and desires that none of my exs took time to discover.
    I am attracted to Sensual Domination, and have that with my Dom. The intimacy and trust is the biggest aphrodisiac to me. I already know play partners, open relationship, or poly will be Hard Limits for me.
    How would you suggest I approach this conversation with my Dom?

    • Simply ask him about his plans related to exclusivity and your relationship… Does he have other subs now or does he plan to acquire multiple subs?

      It’s not complicated. Just be direct then pay attention to his eye contact and body language. Don’t listen to his words. Just watch his body language. That will tell you the truth…

  17. Thank you for writing this. I have been with my husband for 20 years. My desire is for us to create a mutual, outrageously joyful, loving deep connection that grows every day until this life experience is complete.

    I enjoyed sensuality, adventure, exploration, and more when we met. I had a great lingerie collection…but he said lingerie looks best on the floor. I lost track of how many ways I tried to inspire him to praise me, say he loved me, that he thinks I am beautiful. For the most part, I failed. Over the years for many of the reasons you mention here…I felt as though parts of myself, and my sensuality particularly, died a bit more. I am writing to you because we are beginning to finally share openly and explore d/s, and this blog called to my heart.

    It took finding messages in a private email account that clearly indicated he had begun a d/s relationship with another woman about 90 days prior to my discovery, including a picture that showed he had penetrated her and spread a massive amount of cum all over her ass for me to finally see that if I did not crack myself open and authentically explore d/s, our marriage would end.

    In a sense, the marriage has ended–the one that led to deception and broken trust had to. Now, out of the ashes my aspiration is that a phoenix rises. Yet, after our first d/s session there was no aftercare. I did surrender to him, even with 2 decades of life that included devotion and love, and broken trust and hurting each other.

    Sometimes I feel afraid to surrender. I feel afraid that his ideas of d/s are really more about being gratified in whatever ways that suit him without actually being interested in me or building me up. How do I approach this without disrespecting him or trying to control?

    I wish for you to find your 3-minute kiss, committed long term relationship. I wish to co-create that with my committed long-term relationship. Is it possible that loving my dominant can be not loving myself? If there is any way to course transform our marriage into joy, I will do what it takes..I just want to be sure I do not choose something destructive to me.

    Thank you for your generous sharing, and for the path you have walked.
