I also tend more to the psychological side of the coin, it's one of the aspects that drew me to D/s in the first place. Then again, I don't have any experience with the physical dimension so far since all my limited experience has been long distance. Who knows how things would change once I meet a r/l dom?

I agree with Aesop, though...physical domination alone is very limited and to me has no appeal without the psychological dynamic. The other way around does work, that much I know, lol.

Which one do I prefer? I can imagine continuing without physical D/s, the pleasure I gain from the mere psychological side is intense and something I don't want to miss in my life again. My ultimate dream would be to have both aspects compliment each other at some stage, though.

Something else that shot through my mind just now...if physical domination occurs in a D/s or M/s context, can it ever exist without psychological consequences and means? And does physical domination lead to psychological domination automatically when done right? If it doesn't...is pure physical domination abuse in that context?
