It sounds like some people in this thread are going with the notion of being honest always, being yourself, and avoiding what can be perceived as "game playing" when it comes to "being too easy," etc. But I think you have to separate bdsm relationships from other kinds of relationships in this area. This is all my own opnion though, so here goes. I think MOST (many?) femdoms, on some level, are slightly predatory. I mean that in a good way. I think that they crave surrender on some level, not just blind submission. I think that when a submissive makes himself available or contacts a femdom, it's an obvious unstated fact that he is interested, on some level, in submitting to her. There's no reason to explain that, list out how it would happen, hint at it, or remind her that he is available for this. Submissive "posturing" can be a huge turn off when inappropriately presented in the courting stages of a relationship. I think most subs are MUCH more likely to have success if they "play hard to get." Does this mean going against your true nature? Well, maybe. But what it really means is not handing yourself over on a platter, and instead, waiting for her to make the predatory move. Another aspect of this for me is a sense of challenge. A lot of subs think this means being a brat, being blatantly resistant, or being difficult because they think femdoms want to have to "work" for it. Nothing could be further from the truth, and nothing is more annoying than a sub who is being deliberately difficult, or a wiseass, or a brat, because he thinks that this is good button pushing during the courting process. To me, this just means not being easy -- not being so easy that every command or hint of a command is obeyed with an over the top sense of meek submission that it's lapped on way too thick. Perhaps other femdoms like this kind of "shot out of a cannon submissive" that postures so intensely, so blatantly, that it's - for lack of a better word - LOUD. I like sensual, soft, subtle surrender that comes in the form of honest submission laced with authentic *vulnerability*. And that's the rub. How do you get submissive A, who is, indeed, "Shot out of a cannon", to tone it way down and understand that while his submission is hot - and yes, that's what she wants -- that on some level many dominants enjoy that vulnerability, hesitation, or even "thoughtfulness" about their helpessness -- not just balls-out submission. Not sure if any of that made sense, and clearly, this is just my personal "kink" talking, but I haven't met many femdoms that like "instant submission" or the robotic "Yes Mistress No Mistress Anything you want Mistress" sub out of the gate during the courting process. But there' a lot of room between that end of the spectrum and the annoying brat syndrome that some subs think work -- as well as the, "I guess I am just too hard to dominate, most femdoms can't handle me." --- YAWN! My key words: Authentic Vulnerability That's what I want! I get a taste of that in the courting process and I'm smitten. Akasha
