IMO, the clauses about "reasonable", "against your nature" &c. should
only come into play in the most extreme circumstances.

After all, the example of a "reasonable" suggestion is "that's not acid,
it's water, have a nice refreshing swim".

Same thing goes for dominate. Allowing too much argument about what
"against your nature" could lead to dominate having two saves,
absolutely every time: in the extreme, you could argue that anyting
anyone commands you to do is against your nature, since otherwise you'd
be doing it on your own.
