Complicating and/or oversimplifying the true essence of BDSM is something many fall victim to. Not understanding that 'kink' is just one aspect of the lifestyle and not the entire lifestyle, or going so deep that you tend to forget the basics, af focus only on the parts that interest you most, both of those factors can and will lead to a very underappreciated and unlikely to work for a long time relationship based on this lifestyle.
Bdsm is deep, but it is also very simple. The terms 'Domination' and 'Submission', they aren't meant to be overcomplicated. A Dom proves himself to be trustworthy, patient, capable and powerful enough to have the sub give herself to him, not just physically, but mentally too. Mental submission goes a long way and the only way to achieve that is by properly balancing both the dark/rough and the caring/soft aspects of the lifestyle. A sub proves herself worthy by giving herself to the right Dom, by showing him that she's the one he's meant to claim, that she can give all that he desires, both physically and mentally.
Yes, it takes time and a lot of work to build such a relationship, but when done the right way, it's absolutely beautiful. So, once again, do not overcomplicate or oversimplify this lifestyle.
