The Natural Dominant writes about the nature of total power exchange:

The TPE relationship is most often sought after by those who are in positions of power, wealth or those with high intelligence levels, who are seeking a release from the responsibilities inherent with such power. In the simplest of terms, they want to let themselves go without the burden of the power they have in real life.

But even in a TPE, we never interfere with another human being’s right to be free. There must always be the ability to call a “real life” timeout to discuss the level and limits and real life issues that arise from this exchange. When you earn the right to wear the collar you are giving yourself freely to me, but you also have the option of discussing issues that affect you such as outside work, health, finances, family problems & a number of other problems that go on in the real world even as we spin our own world together as D/s TPE partners.

Nothing will break apart a TPE relationship faster than a loss of trust, less than honest dealings with each other and filtered communications or a lack thereof. Listen to your submissives. It is no different in a TPE relationship than it is in a D/s BDSM relationship. TPE, in my mind is actually the building block, the foundation on which a Dominant/submissive relationship is built.

Protection of your submissive is key. …
