We have gotten to know each other and ourselves, in terms of what each of us likes; however, I struggle to remain dominant while getting fucked. All is good until the moment of insertion, after

Dear Miss Velvet, I have told my boyfriend I am interested in BDSM and that I would like for him to do things to me in the bedroom and treat me like a whore.  He says he loves me too much to be able to hurt me or treat me as anything other than a
