ORIGINAL: LoreBook Basically I blew it. I concentrated far too much on gratifying her particular kinks and fantasies and on her in-the-moment happiness, and in doing so I neglected her deeper need to serve. DOes this mean you were not firm enough, giving direction and commands? I am sure that Lore will answer you from her perspective but I can answer from my own, since her answer resonated with my experience. For me, it involved letting go of the societal conditioning of 3 plus decades. Ideas of what's fair. Treat others as you would want to be treated. Equality in all aspects of the relationship. I had to open my mind to understanding why an s-type wants/needs to submit and serve to accept my own desire to have someone submit to and serve me. To accept my desire to treat someone in a manner that I was taught was wrong. Even when it feels wrong(not authentic to who I am at the core), a knee jerk reaction to years of mental and emotional conditioning are difficult to overcome. Especially when faced with some realities and especially when faced with an s-type you love, respect, care very much for....that is arguing well, crying, cajoling, begging, tears, etc etc etc..... To accept that they needed me to push past that and 'over power' her will. As much as I wanted to do it, she needed it......even though part of me said it was wrong and mean and not fair. It wasn't an easy thing. I made mistakes. I gave in too much when I shouldn't have. That's when I joined this site. I started by reading, A LOT. I paid special attention to the writings of those that are submissives/slaves. Those that have served for many years. I asked a lot of dumbass questions. But I came to understand a helluva lot more and see where I had really fucked a lot up. I had been getting in my own way. I was my own biggest problem. I also learned that I needed to be a lot more honest when looking in the mirror. To take 100% responsibility. I had to own my own shit. Otherwise, how on earth could I expect a slave I loved and respected as a woman, to even begin to want to submit to me, OR.....a big huge deal.....to trust me with that power over her???
