The Sovereign

The encounter has a shape you have already thought about.

The Sovereign designs the encounter. Not rigidly, but with intention. He has a clear framework for how he moves in this space and does not leave the shape of an evening to chance. Power dynamics are not something he has recently discovered; they are how he has always thought about intimacy, and his practice reflects the years he has spent developing that vocabulary.

You tend to

  • /Negotiate explicitly before anything begins, because the negotiation itself tells you something
  • /Name the structure and invite the other person to amend it rather than leaving it implicit
  • /Find that encounters you have thought about in advance go better than ones you have not
  • /Have a clear account of what you are looking for and share it early
  • /Treat the design of a dynamic as craft, not just preference

Connects well with

Not to be confused with

The Cavalier. The Cavalier is spontaneous; you are structured.
