Is lifting always domination?

Of course it's not always domination. Replace "always" with "sometimes", and all people would agree.

Far from always, sometimes it's just for a bit of a laugh (in my experience).

This is a quite interesting question, to be honest!

I'll share what I like. As a liftee, I prefer to be the one dominating on the interaction.
For a person, potentially weaker than me, to lift my weight and all of that, seems like a pretty strong act of servitude from their part!
Its not an easy task to ask for a person, even if some people are strong. After all, human body is designed to hold their own weight, which by iteself can be quite tiring after a while (how many times you were forced to stand for a long time and your feet were tired of your own weight??)

Strenght doesnt equal domination, neither.. Riding a horse or having beasts of burden is a similar example.. For reason A or B, the stronger individual is obeying or cooperating with the rider..
