True power comes with dominance.
Some would argue the submissive has power as the final arbiter of limits.
However, this is not a thread on power in BDSM. | |

The need to have power to feel powerful, hmmmm, I prefer to be breathing longer so I see my child have a better life than me and those before me.
Power is very much an ego thing, if used positively its a great thing... | |

In a relationship, power is best exercised in balance, by sharing, by each taking the lead as appropriate, and by concensus. Mutuality of commitment is shared strength and support, and is increased by love and respect. Contention undermines both and less is accomplished and with less happiness resulting. | |

The NEED to control is a weakness, not power, as is the act of handing control of oneself to another. If the exchange of power exists in a relationship, ie the one who has the greater ability to do a particular thing is left to do so , with support, then power exchange is merely a good relationship in the works. IMHO, of course. | |
