Hi Reverie,
Thanks for the read! :) I just want to be clear that kink play can look different for different people. It can vary depending on someone's experience levels and interests. To me, D/s and kink cannot be devoid of emotion. If I am going to hit a submissive with a brand new toy, they are going to experience fear- and I provoked that fear. I cannot make someone feel anything at the end of the day. But all parties did consent to experiencing a range of emotions in our D/s play all of which they have consented to.
