A good domme who wishes to partake in a long term d/s relationship, will pick up the subliminal signs from the sub, that things are not going as well as expected and will vary the activities or the scale of an activity accordingly. The sub just needs to be patient and go with the flow.

One weakness in the professional space, is that because the sub is shelling out, they might feel entitled to magistrate the session in some way. Such is the power of money. Quid pro quo is not an option in the true sense of tpe.
