What feels like the more "dominant" move? Underwear or no underwear?

[Deadman]

This might seem like a somewhat odd question, but for context, I’m writing an FF piece where one of them is more in control than the other. In fact, they had planned to seduce the other woman prior to what I’m writing.

Now I’m writing a part of it where the more dominant one in the relationship removes her clothing as part of a “power move”. However I’m trying to decide if they should have underwear on underneath the clothes. Given that the plan was to seduce them, it feels like it make sense for the dominant one to have no underwear on. At this point in the story, the one being seduced has pretty much gotten naked already.

But part of me thinks that it feels more dominant to continue to have some clothing on for at least a while longer. Kinda also feels like a power move.

What do you think?

My feeling is that it would indeed be a dominant move for the Dom to keep her underwear on, at least initially. If the sub is quite keen on the whole situation, then it gives an option for the Dom to get the sub to beg for her to get naked. Although it depends entirely on just how much into the Dom/sub scene it’s going into. For a more casual dominance scene, that might be a bit much. But it would still be a power move for one to be naked and the dominant partner not to be.

This is more of a casual situation, if I understand what you mean by that. It’s their first time together. Also, the more dominant one has already sorta offered it as a reward for good behavior. In the sense of a “do what I say and you might see me naked” type scenario. For which the dominant one is now rewarding them. But the relationship isn’t defined in any formal sense.

Honestly, I think whether it’s dominant or submissive is most of all to do with attitude. There’s arguments to be made for either, but being naked and confident can be infinitely more domineering than someone dressed to the nines. Or wearing lingerie while your sub is naked can be another power play meant to emphasize a subs place. It’s all about presence and point of view.

Oh the dominant one definitely has an attitude about her. It’s probably her defining characteristic. So maybe in this case it doesn’t really matter whether they have underwear on underneath. As long as it’s clear who is in charge and who isn’t.
