I'm the same as you, but I know some dommes really hate long emails. Sometimes I think it's just a misplaced attempt to be polite and not top from the bottom.

Other times they're bad at explaining what they want, don't really know what they want, or are afraid of having written proof of their kinks. Often I find they're a lot more expressive in person, which helps -- but I still prefer being able to think about the session ahead of time and plan it out a little.

And then there's the irritating minority who expect us to be mind readers and get very annoyed when we're not actually psychic. Fortunately that seems to be a small group.
