quote: ORIGINAL: theRose4U LOL this is stuff we tell all you subby boys ALL THE TIME!! OP just happens to have his brain above his belt & realizes "service to Dommes" might literally mean SERVE-us! That is exactly what I want. A nice collar and a pat/scratch on the head if I did something that pleases you. Everything else I would consider to be a bonus in the relationship. Serving someones general needs seems much more fulfilling than just serving sexual needs. The list you put up with it kinda make me smile. I think it would be great to be owned and do those kind of things for them. Now if I only knew the emoticon for the happy dance hahaha P.s if this is posted twice I apologize. The first time I posted it it didn't show up for me

quote: ORIGINAL: jay1371 I was just curious about the different ways different dominants teach their submissives. mainly the steps you would take, if any, to teach a new submissive with no experience. Examples of discipline, service, and how they are to communicate with you would really help. Also things you might do to learn about your sub or specific questions you may want to know before even considering taking someone as a sub. I've scrolled through and you have been given some excellent advise. The thing that strikes Me and that I can say that I appreciate in a prospective partner is one who has shown enough initiative to acquire skills to embody the partner they want to be. Much like taking classes and specializing in a degree field to attain a specific job. Relationship skills will come when you engage in relationships but all the rest are easily attained through taking some time to be introspective and figure out what it is you want to offer another and seeking out the skills to be able to do exactly that. I've never taught a partner the skills I wanted them to have - I have directed them to outlets for them to attain them. As to discipline - I'm more interested in self discipline. As to communication - learning how to effectively communicate is a skill, easily attained. How a specific person will want you to communicate with them will be varied. What is important to Me when considering a prospective partner is compatibility on multiple levels. All of the things that make for a good relationship in a vanilla context applies, the kink is just a fun bonus and yes, that has to be compatible as well.

My dinosaur is showing. A lot of this is about talking. Even when you're dealing with someone who doesn't have lifestyle experience, it's about things like conveying what words like Dominance mean to you. Submission. Authority. Ownership. Control and power. What feeds you about these things. In this, you also expose the person to views different than your own. The reason for this is to educate someone about various ways of doing things to determine compatibility. Different levels of formality, protocol, and such. Some people thrive in well structure environments. Others don't. Teaching a person about something works the same way it does everywhere else. Start at the beginning and work your way up.

SthrnCom4t -> RE: Teaching a sub (12/22/2012 10:32:42 AM)
Excellent advice has already been given. A few character strengths that will make you a sought after submissive - 1) Be strong enough in yourself, to be honest with Her - there is a delicate balance between being flexible and molding yourself to what another wants, and being true to your authentic self. I want to know when something is or isn't working with Otter. I don't solely depend on what he says, I also look for non-verbal cues. Being a 'yes man' is only beneficial to a certain degree. If you are not honest, then you haven't given the Lady accurate information to make a decision. If she is making decisions for the both of you, giving your perspective even when it doesn't align with hers is very important. Also, if you are compromising your own authenticity, eventually the situation will not work for you. 2) Own your actions and understand 'She' owns Hers - Being the Dominant doesn't make one omnipotent, nor does being submissive make a person not responsible 'because someone else told you to do/act/be something. I don't like being up on a pedestal because I'm human and I have flaws. Likewise, if I'm having a bad day and being cranky, I don't want that sending my submissive into a depression because he's taking on the responsibility for my unhappiness. 3) Be picky! You can learn a lot from different people. Pick up what feels right, leave the rest. You'll be a different person six months from now than you are now. There may be a lot more submissive men than Dominant women in general but there is a lot more equality when it comes to quality people on both sides of the kneel.

I need to know how the commands I'm giving are actually affecting Carol. That gives me the information I need to know if I need to scrap the whole plan, tailor the commands, or tailor her. But she is definitely a part of the equation and I need real information about it or certain doom is the inevitable result. While I may expect Carol to mold to my desires both inside & out, I need to know accurate information all along the path. Anything else makes the entire thing a house of cards built upon a fiction. For me there's another aspect of this also... honesty. When I ask Carol a question about her internal state I expect a full and accurate dump not some sort of bullshit "what I want to hear" answer. If I wanted her to be/feel/think a certain way I'd have commanded that. If I'm asking a question then the command is, "Answer this question... honestly." As much as I understand that some honest answers are not easy I've never been much interested in "easy" and I have zero interest in a sub that is so lost in their own submission that they cannot obey me. In my mind "being a yes man" is beneficial up to the point it becomes a problem. I expect Carol to accurately sort out what's just a momentary bit of discomfort and what's an enduring problem and let me know.

I don't have much to add, just decided it would be worth thanking Jay for starting these threads, everyone who gave advice and give a free bump as they are very useful for newcomers to the scene and to me personally.

I think pickiness often gets a negative slant put on it, but really, it's a good thing. Not nitpicky, to the extent that you won't take someone who's absolutely right for you just because they happen to have brown hair, but picky in general. Know thyself, know what you want and what you need, and be willing to wait for it instead of leaping at the first collar/dominant that offers.

Go slow when you meet a new group. When you go to your first party, decide on some activities you are comfortable doing. Maybe serve drinks, wipe down equipment, throw away plates, just ask to be of service. You'll start to figure out the politics of the group real fast, and can find a good mentor who will give you a rundown on participants styles of play. This can help you steer clear of a person, without dissing them (sorry if this is a repeat, I'm multi-tasking and read through quickly). Have fun! PB
