ORIGINAL: Buzzzz Let me try to explain a little bit. Training , to me , sounds like there is a timeline involved ( like airplane pilot getting trained : doesn't happen overnight) . Ie , it takes time to learn. My way, time isn't a factor. If it takes any amount of time to figure out that the outfit in the house in a non nilla setting is "a thong and 3" heels", she isn't very smart. I mean, a thong and 3 inch heels means just that. No "training" required. I agree that time isn't a factor, too. I teach her the basics (rules, guidelines etc - MY basics) straight up as well as moulding/adapting anything unique to her (health, injury, physique, bad habits, committments) into said rules and guidelines etc. And then there's a 3rd consideration - how we gel with each other and likely the need to tweak the rules so they work for both of us etc. Some things take weeks or more to learn plus all relationships evolve, and you need to adapt accordingly. So "training" isn't some academic course with a specified time frame. And that's something I find a bit annoying with newbies especially. That they look at training as a box to be ticked ASAP so they can feel like they "belong". Hence they gravitate to "training doms" - kinda like some teenagers treat their virginity as a boil that needs lancing, pronto! There are no time limits for how long it takes the girl to learn anything. But once she's at a stage where I'm sure she knows something backwards, then I'm not so tolerant of her getting it wrong. Training is one of the great shared experiences of a D/s relationship, IMO. It mostly gets a bad rep for the name, is all.... Focus.
