quote: ORIGINAL: jbcurious For a woman who has lived in flat shoes and is a total wimp when it comes to pain I find myself savoring the thought of wearing his marks or teetering precariously simply because I understand his desire that he be the focal point my life. The kink universe sure could use more submissives like you.

quote: His patience and openess in explaining that for him it's not about causing pain or hurting me but is about building a state of anticipation, uncertainty that keeps me focused on him. That while 5" heels are sexy, the fact that I wear them for him makes each step a reminder of his presence in my life. The kink universe sure could use more Doms like him.

I disagree with subsfaith about you not needing this simply because in time you may no longer need it. If you need it in order to judge whether or not he's someone trustworthy to obey, then you need it. The fact that in time you may know him and his motivations well enough to no longer need it in no way negates the fact that you need this to get involved with him in the first place and then have the sufficient time together to know him well enough that at that future point you might not need to question. This seems convoluted in the writing, but I hope you understand. Personally I think there is nothing wrong in needing to question why, this is how we learn about people. And I am not compatible with anyone who wants me to obey blindly when I don't know him very well.

What's that Steven? Did you say kneel?[sm=bowdown.gif] Do you also want her to understand your motivation?

How does it mean that you don't have enough pwer to make you happy. Thanks! sunshine If it's only about what she wants and not me, then she runs the relationship and I'm just a service top. I need more.

quote: ORIGINAL: Level quote: ORIGINAL: jbcurious So I'm curious... Do you want your your partner to understand what motivates you? Do you understand your own motivation? Or am I just strange in needing this but lucky to have found someone as strange? Yes, if you've found someone that clicks, you ARE lucky. Understanding one another is good; hell, great. Vital. When it is. Other times, it does not matter. I want what I want. Why doesn't matter, just do it. Now, if you have two people, and let's say the dominant cares nothing about motivation, but the submissive is overwhelmingly driven by it. They "fit" in most every other way. Is it the responsibility of the dominant to do whatever it takes to get the submissive to that place where they can submit? [8\|] Are you accepting if it takes some time to get to the "just do it" stage or is that something you look for in the nature of the sub?

It's also more then just the trust factor, it's also about fear of failure... I would doubt a D/M is going to get much satisfaction out of a situation if the s/s is just gritting their teeth to get through it. I think that understanding and knowing you're on the same page would help to keep that from happening.

subsfaith -> RE: Is understanding your partners motivation important? (5/9/2010 6:11:33 AM)
DesFIP... The point I was trying to make is demonstrated by your post... if time negates a need, it isn't a need but a desire. A need is a constant; food, water, etc. If wanting to know the motivations will help you, then it is sensible to find someone who fulfills that as you get to know them. In my experience you can overcome your desires. By not paying them any attention and focusing differently you will change your mindset over time. I don't mean to say ignore all your desires, that would lead to a very unfulfilled life, but there are some behaviours that I am sure we can all look inside ourselves and find that are not necessary, or even attractive.

I knew there was a reason I adore you Steven.

lally2 -> RE: Is understanding your partners motivation important? (5/9/2010 6:18:31 AM)
when youre learning to submit youreself its natural enough to question and wonder why a guy wants those things - i certainly did. eventually you kinda realise that the whole thing is about control, their control over you and thats hot for them. knowing that youre wearing heels around the house when theyre not there, carrying their marks across youre arse is all about owning youre body and to some extent youre mind and you being completely open to each thing they come up with. (assuming youre on the same page and he isnt going to suddenly ask you to go and fuck youre neighbours husband) but it is a process i went through too, as you try and get into the psyche of a Dominant mind it helps you to understand where theyre coming from rather than it feeling like some arbitrary command with no particular purpose there. in the end its just their control over you and youre willingness to accept it. ive asked dozens of questions over the years and it basically boils down to that - its fun and hot to have a woman bend to their will willingly.
