Andalusite -> When Dommes aren't in the mood (5/19/2009 8:52:33 AM)

When Kal was discussing his situation, he mentioned that she was out of her groove and not really feeling dominant that particular day. Moving away from them specifically, I think it's good to explore ways to help *get* in the mood - just being told I'm not Domly enough would probably put me off even further!

We've made a lot of progress in the area of women being able to ask for/demand what they want, but even in F/m D/s relationships, there's a fairly strong undercurrent of women catering to men's sexuality, doing *for* them, that I think particularly comes into play if she's not feeling particularly sexual or bossy in a given situation.

I tend to kind of coast in neutral until someone specifically pushes my buttons - I may have a "background radiation" so to speak of emotions toward them, including sexuality and dominance, but until they look at me a certain way, speak in a certain tone, do something specific, I'm not actively turned on or expressing dominance over them, usually.

Looking up at me through their lashes with that particular intensity, offering service (especially with a bit of protocol/formality), just being in physical contact when they're turned on, etc. can all be triggers that help get me in the mood, but a lot of it isn't things I can really nail down.

Anyway, I absolutely agree with Kal and undergroundsea that we feed off of each other's reactions, that someone has to "start" it, that submissives tend to need that frisson of sexuality and dominance - not every time, but often enough to feed the relationship. It also ties in nicely with sodsta's "who initiates" thread - even if someone is Dominant, she may need certain actions or reactions to get in the mood, either with a new person, or for a particular occasion.

I know that a lot of people feel that the Dominance is always there, always on, but for me, it's more of a pilot light that easily gets turned up, rather than a raging forest fire. [;)] What are some things that you use in your relationships to bring out that side of things?

My desire for physical/kinky dominance (topping) is like a hunger.  I can't quite pinpoint how and why, but there are certain days in any given month that I am filled with a lust, and it peaks. The days it peaks, I am likely to think about it/desire it all day.  There's not much that needs to be done, other than be attractive to me and be in the line of fire.  On average it's a few days every couple of weeks, but sometimes it's a week long or more following three weeks of "calm" - and there's no rhyme or reason.  While I can be "seduced" into hardcore topping other than during that time, it's really just better to wait, I have found. I have endless amounts of "femdom energy" during those days and my desires run hot and deep. I am much more sadistic, creative and have endless energy.

Playful, fun, lighthearted sensual dominance, however, I can tap pretty much at any time.  (the above paragraph is more about extremely intense, heavy-gear oriented, long and drawn out hardcore "scenes").  It's a running current, always, through my style of affection and even more clearly when I express lust of any kind.  You don't get deep kisses from me without the appropriate painful hairpulling, just as there's no "vanilla intercourse" without some faceslapping and being called a dirty bitch, or biting and at least a blindfold or some light bondage. That's just my "groove."

The only time dominance shuts off completely for me is if I feel it is expected or demanded of me, especially from people with whom I share no intimate connection.  Then forget it - I just lose interest.  If I get hinted at, whined it, or any kind of passive aggressive behavior, or "what about meeeeeeeeee" crying, the moment it feels like I am performing for someone else, I have no desire.  If it's a negotiated thing in advance, like I am going to do X in exchange for Y, I can generally get myself into the mindset for it and psyche myself up, but even then, I like to do that kind of thing sparingly (this is the reason, and probably the ONLY reason, I never considered a job as a dominatrix; if I could be in "femdom mode" like switching on a light switch and with any man, hell yes, that would be my dream job).  If I am deeply affectionate toward a man and our mutual relationship calls for "maintenance topping," I can also generally muster that on demand by putting myself into the right headspace, and just like sex, the juices start flowing (so to speak) once the toys come out - it's just a matter of starting, and both people knowing that if the groove isn't there, I just have to stop and try another time. This is NOT my preferred way of doing things, however.

The one thing I have discovered about myself in my dominant-self-exploration is that I cannot fake dominant lust, and nothing makes me feel more objectified than even scratching that surface.  As a very caring, loving and selfless person, I can do ANYTHING for a man or a friend without wanting anything in return, just for the sheer joy of giving. I can fuck a man when I am not in the mood because I love him, I can give a blow job when I don't feel like it, and I can even try to cook dinner (ha!) if he's not feeling well; however, I cannot "pretend" to be in the mood to dominate, or put on a fake persona if the lust isn't in my veins on that particular day. 

The great thing is that most submissive men want the real thing anyway, and they are happy to wait for the mood to hit, because it always does.  The "quieter" my urges are for a few days, the stronger they are when they come back, and it's only ever a few days or a week anyway, for the most part.

Lockit -> RE: When Dommes aren't in the mood (5/19/2009 9:21:01 AM)

For me dominance is many things and has many aspects to it.  If I am in what I call domme/domina down mode... don't f with me!  Don't expect anything.  Don't go there.  It isn't a mood.  Go to those places you do becasue you love me, not because you get a kinky feel good.  If you get a kinky feel good from them great, but whether or not you do... just do it. But do keep in mind... I won't always be down.  Good service during a time like this will inspire me later on, believe me!

Now if my batteries are just low... lol... a time out, thinking about his eyes when I have done something is enough to get my interest going.  Any elaboration on that just feeds the craving. lol  I'm kind of easy like that.  But if I really am in an inbetween, lazy kind of place... I can get going by watching them do what I tell them to do in some kinky things.  Entertain me boy! lol  I can sit back and relax and smile, laugh, frown... whatever to encourage him!  I can get fired up just watching him for a time and then the party will be on.

I actually plan for these times because of my health situation I am not always up to par and no matter what I may not be up to much even if I get all hot and bothered so to speak.  I have my lil plans and toys just for this purpose.  It all depends on what he feeds off of and desires. I am ever watchful and have been known to throw a few surprises in there.  I kind of feed off of those... okay... I feed off of those a lot!  The unexpected is a charge!

We each will have down times and it is something that we both have to know how to handle.  Knowing the person is the key to it all and determines many things.

Sometimes the slave has to get things going, sometimes the Mistress.  It depends on the situation and the personalities of the people involved.  But if one or both get obdurate, everything can grind to a screeching halt.  Resentments can build up that can feed off each other in the same way good energies can.




Politesub53 -> RE: When Dommes aren't in the mood (5/19/2009 12:00:34 PM)

I agree with Kal, although suspect some males wont initiate for fear of being labelled pushy. Maybe testing the waters is okay now and then, but dont try and swim against the tide. If She says no, take it as a given and not a maybe.

I just ask for my money back.

LovingMistress45 -> RE: When Dommes aren't in the mood (5/19/2009 5:57:20 PM)

For the most part it doesn't take much to get me in the mood.  And some days I am on full force and ready to go.  However, someone being attentive and catering to my needs (come home to a clean house, a nice dinner, etc) generally will start my mood.




PsyVamp -> RE: When Dommes aren't in the mood (5/19/2009 6:46:02 PM)

My live in uses sounds .... no, not the toys *laughs*
Audible noises that are inherently submissive on a primal level.  Unless I am so tired that I can't move, it is almost a case of "instant Domme" mode.
Interestingly enough, a misplaced act of (what I perceive) as aggression will have the same effect.  (This is mostly due to the way we usually play which is rather animalistic in nature.)
I can't say that I'd have the same reaction with just anybody.

MissJanice2 -> RE: When Dommes aren't in the mood (5/19/2009 8:22:01 PM)

My new red shoes, white shorts, and a shiney red top along with a pedicure and a nice dinner.
Works real well for us.
 
Best Wishes,

PsyVamp, I tend to like primal/feral/predatory type of play sometimes, too (mostly sparring/playfighting level of violence, rather than hard enough to do any actual damage). It doesn't necessarily put me in a dominant headspace - I like it no matter what the orientation of the other person is, but it does tend to fuel my sexuality and interest in play.




MsStarlett -> RE: When Dommes aren't in the mood (5/20/2009 4:41:20 AM)

Once again, I thank my lucky stars that I found my Westie.  It seems that we both suffer from a bit of winter depression that leaves us not wanting to play.  Personally, I get all stressed out by my work load and the bad weather, including to much rain and lack of sun.  When I mentioned that I just didn't want to get into any intense scenarios and one of our sessions just didn't 'work'... my Mentor Dom suggested getting Westie a hood.  Pup ran out and bought himself one and brought it down on his last trip.   I don't totally know if it was better weather, less stress or the fact that I couldn't see his lovely puppy dog eyes... but the hood did the trick!  It went a long way to help me disassociate from my warm fuzzy feeling for my favorite pet and get me back in the Domme groove to give us both the S/M release that we both needed... instead of just cuddling on the couch all weekend.




Andalusite -> RE: When Dommes aren't in the mood (5/20/2009 8:17:09 AM)

I'm glad you had fun, MsStarlett! I'm rather a fan of hoods, on either side of the whip, though when I bottom, I tend to enjoy the sensory overload when it comes off more than the sensory deprivation while I'm wearing it. As a Top or Domme, I like the way they look, especially some of the more elaborate sorts with locks and zippers and such.

There is usually not much damage other than the occasional black and blue and possibly sore muscles the next day.  When we play that way, "ow" IS a safeword  *laughs*
