Frank BDSM talk, and yes, it is related to this.
One time after a session, my sub partner told me that when I take charge I have Captain Picard energy. A quiet confidence that I would be obeyed, not out of fear of punishment, but simply because she didn't want to disappoint me. I liked that, it fits my kink interests very naturally. Some later sessions involved her fantasy of being a very green ensign getting "private command training" from her captain.I grew up watching the original run of TNG as a child into adolescence. I think Picard's leadership style imprinted on me strongly at that formative time.
My theory is that Lwaxana Troi wasn't exaggerating when she commented on Picard's allegedly dirty thoughts about her, and that she played up her brattiness around him to tease out those thoughts, and that the real reason he's wary around her is that she threatens his famously strong self-control.
