What makes a great Cis, Straight Dominant Man - Authority, Kink Theory and Ethical Domination

This week on Come Curious, Reed sits down with kink theorist, power exchange mentor and educator Tripp Terrier to unpack one of the most misunderstood roles in BDSM: the dominant. Together they explore why true dominance isn't about control, arrogance or entitlement but instead, it's about presence, responsibility and service. Tripp shares his unique perspective on power exchange, explaining how authority is earned through knowledge, patience and skill rather than demanded through status or ego. They discuss the importance of integrating every part of yourself including the feminine and more uncomfortable aspects of your personality, and why self-awareness is one of the most powerful tools a dominant can develop. Inside the episode: - Why dominance is a giving role, not a taking one- The difference between confidence and entitlement- How power exchange can become deeply transformative- Why consent is more complex than a simple "yes" or "no"- The role of humility in healthy masculinity and leadership- Supporting partners through subdrop and emotional vulnerability Tripp also shares his essential reading list for anyone curious about kink, including The Topping Book and The Bottoming Book by Janet Hardy and Dossie Easton, alongside The Heart of Dominance and The Dominance Playbook by Anton Fulmen. Whether you're dominant, submissive, curious or simply interested in healthier models of masculinity, this conversation offers a fascinating look into power, connection and personal responsibility.
