How do you like a Domme to be verbally in session> Mostly silent with only the occasional brisk/abrupt order or quite loquacious and chatty?

I am definitely in the latter category. I love a Domme who keeps up a running commentary on what she is doing, the features of equipment, how it will effect me or how intense it is, musing out loud of what she might do next, maybe talking about how she made a slave suffer last week etc etc

What are your preferences in scene?

Dommes, what's your play style when it comes to interacting verbally with subs

Oh, and what about music? I'm a "no" on background music (at least at any significant volume) I find it distracts from my focus on the Domme. Even if I'm blindfolded I like to strain to hear her moving about, opening drawers or gathering equipment off a shelf. I especially love the sound of heels clicking on the floor as she approaches. I find all this really adds to the anticipation and trepidation.
