Submissive Pride

Hundreds more articles like this can be found

instructor144: Despite a long life of dealing on intimate terms with submissives, I will confess: in some respects, they remain “A mystery, inside a riddle, wrapped in an enigma.” One thing I have given a fair bit of thought to is: what motivates a submissive? What makes them step up and live their submission with such fanatical determination? What causes them to go at their tasks and duties and protocols with such kamikaze intensity?


There are the obvious things, of course. Submissives, in my experience, tend to be inherent “people pleasers,” so that is a strong motivator. There is also the soothing, calming peace that passes all understanding that they find in living their submission like they mean it. There is that ineffable devotion to their Dominant, a level of devotion that one sees very rarely among vanilla couples.

But there’s one motivator that doesn’t often get talked about, a motivator that many might find surprising: 

Pride.

It seems counter to the stereotypical image of a submissive as demure, Geisha-like, with downcast eyes and whispered “As you wish, Master.” But pride is a thing with submissives; scratch the surface and you’ll discover that submissives are the proudest people you’ll ever meet. Pride in their ability to please and serve their Dominant; pride in their determination to step up and handle their business; pride in the quiet, understated recognition that “I am one hell of a kick-ass sub!!” Often, a part of that is a competitive streak, and the person they often compete with — and triumph over — is themselves. All in all, submissives are some tough, proud little sumbitches.

Now, what is this ramble in aid of?

Submissives:

You are right to feel proud. Of your commitment to your submission, of the effort you bring to the work (and let’s be honest, it often is hard work), and of the hundred and one ways you surpass your former best efforts. But — beware the disease of perfectionism. Your pride can inspire you to push limits and do things you didn’t think possible, but if you find yourself on that endless squirrel wheel where you are obsessively thinking “I can do a little better, I can push a little harder, I can be a little more on point, I can please Him a little more, I can be perfect,” then you need to gear it back and unplug that mindset with the swiftness. Your justifiable feeling of pride can send you down the rabbit hole to burnout and misery. Goal: be the very best submissive you can be. Not: be the perfect submissive.

Dominants: 

Recognize that pride is a big part of what motivates your submissive, even if — especially if — it’s something they don’t articulate. And of course you are proud of them as well; if you’re not, then what the hell are the two of you doing together? So you need to be sure to express your pride in them, in every aspect of their being in which they excel. And even more importantly, you need to give them permission to be proud of themselves. Our society, for any number of reasons (very few of them healthy), tends to quash pride, to privilege modesty and self-effacement. “Pride goeth before a fall,” after all. So you need to let them know “Please be proud of yourself for X, because I am very proud of you.” And when you say it, you damn well better mean it.



submissive-seeking:

Sigh, raising my hand…. 🙋‍♀️

I still struggle mightily with the disease of perfectionism. The words I need to hear when my I get into this nasty spin cycle: “You are perfect for me. I decide. I am in control here. You do not get to question me. Do you understand me little one? I chose you. I get up every morning and choose you all over again.“ “Now go get the paper and pen. I am going to help you remember you are perfect for me. ”

Body Positivity: Doing the Mirror Exercise

Hundreds more articles like this can be found

submissive-seeking:

Hardest thing I’ve ever done is "mirror work" ….

But one of the most necessary.

Fuck, I’d rather light myself on fire!

The first set of instruction is a comprehensive written list of all the parts of my body I currently “hate” with details about when it’s the worst (position) or intrudes into my focus. And then I have to give Him the list. He spends days with the list. Asks more questions.

Then comes the instructions for training day.

Forced to look, listen, experience…

To endure grabbing, pulling, squeezing parts that life, aging, and gravity have been less than kind to. To see all those parts from every angle. To not be allowed to look away, not a moment’s respite.
Once the sobbing subsides a bit, He describes what He sees, showing me the curves He focuses on, the sensations He feels.

He takes His pleasure in every form imaginable while I watch. The mirrors not only show me me, but His pleasure, His undeniable lust, even while grabbing and enjoying the parts I hate. (I’m an evidence based kinda girl.)

There is an overriding theme, a mantra . .

“I am perfect for Him.” That I am never more beautiful than when I’m on my knees or in the moment I have surrendered my being to His to receive the gift of erotic pain or am put to use pleasing Him.

A quote from Him: “Little one I refuse to fucking to compete. I will have you, you will give me your complete surrender and focus. I will not abide a competitor. And right now, I’m competing with your inner critic. We will do this as many times as it takes. I will break this distraction and have your complete focus. I will not accept competition.”

And in the end, I am broken and he remakes me. Remakes me to come before Him truly “naked and unashamed.”




@littlephoenixkitten

The body like a trail queen has been through multiple pregnancies and cesareans, breast feeding, a partial nephrectomy, and over 50 years of gravity.

But don’t let size make you think I don’t suffer with a host of body image issues.
My theory of the case is that 98%percent of us never did and never will look like Tumblr models. And that deciding on which of us suffers more because of it is pointless.
As far as I can tell, we all suffer to one degree or another.

As for me, aging and gravity are my nemesis. Ever seen a 53 year old mother naked on all fours? Let’s just say things slide and hang in ways that make me cringe.

But the point of His body image training is that it’s HIS opinion that matters. And that He was going to see to it that I walked through whatever hell to see me through his eyes and shed some of the burden of my inner critic.

I always have my safeword. I trusted Him. It was a Hell, but it helped immensely. And, I’m vigilant about confronting my inner critic before it gets that bad ever again. He won’t have it any other way.
But that’s me. It doesn’t have to be a good plan for anybody else.

Your "no" is yours to use whenever, wherever, with whoever, and for any reason.

Remember, married to Him for over 30 years. He truly knows me. And I trust Him to lead.
(((HUGS)))



hedonist-woman:

For anyone having body issues. This goes for men as well.



bigbadwolf-ish:

I love this so much… I mean the concept. That is true Dom shit. And bravo to all the subs who tough it out.



@hedonist-woman:

Absolutely men have body issues. Probably the most common type is that of penis size, and let me tell you… That one can be quite the mind fuck, regardless of what you might say about its importance. The male Tumblr models with their 9 inch schlongs project just as unrealistic an image as the little porn princesses. It can make the average man feel less than average for sure.



Papa Tony:

Every one of my male submissives have had to be "talked off of the ledge" when it comes to his self-image.  I have acted as the "mirror" for many of my subs, directly addressing each submissive's fears and considerations.  I do this by being entirely (but lovingly) forthcoming.

I ALWAYS conclude by saying the words "I choose you THIS way, and would not change a thing about you."  And, in every case, I mean it.

Protecting Real Submissives

Hundreds more articles like this can be found
at the Kink Mentoring Archives… Spread the word!



RealWorldSubmissive: I don’t know if this can be quantified but I’ve often thought it extremely important that the community come to the rescue of submissives with education and support.


I’m a natural submissive and I now understand it’s a beautiful quality to have. I’m the caring loving pleaser and I’ll do anything for my dominant partner. But that can go wrong on so many levels for so many reasons. We are so vulnerable to real abuse that can be life-changing. Abuse that’s not a game or a fantasy. I’m HIV+ and I am because I a Dom took advantage of my submissive nature. 

As a submissive it’s counterintuitive to call the shots or make demands. You try politely but my submissive nature is true and honest it’s not a fantasy. It’s hard for me to disappoint a dominant man and I want to think he wouldn’t hurt me. 

But you see the posts and the fantasies on Tumblr focused on abuse. Real abuse of humans. Not fantasies but real abuse. It’s also very confusing as a submissive because we see these messages and as true submissives we let ourselves fall victim to thinking this is our lot in life and the actions prey on our core need to please a dominant man at any cost. 

I’m not a victim but becoming HIV+ was hard on me. I am a sweet nice submissive. I protected myself until I didn’t because I was pleasing a dominant man and I have to live with that decision. And then as an HIV+ submissive my self-esteem plummeted and I really started to let men abuse me and take even more advantage of me. 

As a sweet beautiful submissive, I had no understanding of my real value and it seemed there were no real dominant men around to help me understand that. And no education out there to help me understand it on my own. All this discourages a real submissive to enjoy the life he wants to as a submissive because it often results in abuse and lowered self esteem and real problems. 

When will the dominant men stand up and know they must help to protect and respect beautiful loving pleasing submissives like me. I’m not asking for control. But there are real negative consequences to the mixing of sub fetishes vs real sub living. It can’t all fall on the sub's shoulders because we give up power and struggle to protect ourselves when we’re expected to listen and obey. 

Doms need to understand the power they have and help promote a positive use of that power. Thanks for breaking the cycles of abuse with your blog.



slovenealpha:

I would like to keep it brief.

Subs are not some objects an Alpha (ab)uses and tosses away. Subs are human beings with whom you reach happiness together. They are (your) subs, because they wanted to submit to you, they desire your domination. They are gifts, but give themselves to you.

They are beautiful and should always be treated with respect and humane dignity. You may set them rules and order them, but you must never overstep their limits, make them feel intense distress or blackmail them (to name a few).

They are treasures and a real Alpha will protect them and care for them. Think of it as a really expensive smartphone: you will use it for pleasure, but won’t go cracking its screen and tossing it away. That goes way deeper for subs, since their human. If a sub doesn’t want intense ball busting, you won’t go making him punch his balls blue on your first session.

You will start out with something small then slowly introduce them to ball pain, but if they reject something with great reassurance don’t force yourself. And outside of sex, you shouldn’t be cold towards them and make them feel unwanted and unloved.

You are their Sir because they know you won’t mistreat them.

The Mirror Technique

Hundreds more articles like this can be found
at the Kink Mentoring Archives… Spread the word!



Alexander Martin:

I do love my quantifiers and before I’m going to say much more, let’s talk about safety. The only “dangers” inherent in this technique are those related to triggering or upsetting your submissive. So use this technique with someone you know. DO use this technique on men who enjoy humiliation or degradation.

Setup: You’ll need a large (preferably full length) mirror. It needs to be easily visible from wherever you fuck bed, couch, floor, ottoman, kitchen counter (I won’t judge), etc.

Technique: Your objective will be to mentally get your submissive as far into subspace as possible (see the post about layering if you need some help getting there). You want him really caught up in that head space, preferably impaled on your dick (or deep in your hole if you are a dominant bottom). Surprise is the key to making this work, surprise, the truth in your words and getting them agreeing when their psyche is laid bare and vulnerable are what make this so effective. Once you have him there and you think the moment is right, grab his hair roughly, and jerk his head in the direction of the mirror. Say something like “Look yourself in the eye faggot, look at what you’ve become, what I’ve made you into. Now say you’re mine, body and soul, say you’re mine and look yourself in the eye when you say it so the both of us know you MEAN IT!”

Challenges: The only real challenge comes from finding the right moment when your sub is very deep in subspace, and yet still aware enough to engage you. If you find the right moment where he has a submissive dialogue in his own head and you suddenly synchronize what he’s telling himself with the mirror technique, that’s the ultimate goal and when this experience will be mind blowing. It does take some practice to get right, but it generally it won’t really work too effectively against

Outcomes: The reason I’m even writing about this, was that I’ve had two separate men ejaculate immediately when I did this to them. Subspace, my dick, and the moment overwhelmed them and they came all over the bed. I have also had submissives that were suddenly thrown by the unexpected experience. They stutter and their brain just can’t process properly for a moment or two. That’s not a bad reaction and they should fall in line in a moment or two. I’ve had other fall in line and completely embrace the experience and spontaneously start engaging in dirty talk (super hot). Although I’ve never had it happen, it could also result in an obvious rejection of the experience. It could also result in someone getting very quiet and unresponsive. Should either happen, stop immediately and engage the submissive to see what’s going on. If you don’t, it could damage your continued ability to play with that boy.

Tips For Verbal

Alexander Martin:

Being verbal during sex is a bit of a challenge for many men. It’s a challenge for me as well. I usually have to be particularly horned to do verbal at all. Regardless there are a few tips for people trying to up their game when it comes to verbal.

- KNOW YOUR TARGET!: This is the most important and first step to being verbal. Does your boy want to be called a faggot? A cunt? A whore? A slut? Does he like being made into a girly boy? Does he want you to bring him all your friends with big hard cocks to pillage his fag hole? Does he want to hear about you pissing into his mouth till it over flows and dribbles down his neck? All of these are examples of what knowing the psychology of your boy allows you to do.

- Think it through in advance: You’re on recon; you’ve got a cute sub on the line with an ass to die for. He tells you he wants a man that will hold his arms behind his back and fuck him rough. The simplest thing to do is to think through as many different ways to say back exactly what he told you in advance of when you will get together. Later when you’re in the moment you’re going to be more likely to remember something you’ve already thought of rather than making it up on the spot.

- Wherever possible mix their kinks: If your sub is into being called a bitch and being throat fucked. “Alright you little bitch. It’s time for you to prove you’re going to be my worthy cockslut. Get on the bed I’m going to fuck your throat!”

- Make your boy say what he’s doing: This is part of what I like to call “the mirror technique” which I will explain in its own post another time. As it is relevant here, make your submissive say what they’re doing (if it’s humiliating or they enjoy it). If you do this, most subs will say it quietly and it pays to make them say it loudly. Your submissive will be further humiliated by repeating what they said and louder it will push them further into subspace which makes submissives more likely to follow orders in the future.

Best of luck with these tips. If you end up with any particularly good results feel free to share them with the rest of us ;).



hadriantemple:

Verbal play is an extremely important tool for doms. Many subs love to be talked down to, and many doms love doing it. There are a couple key reasons for this:

Being talked down to establishes the power dynamic.

Taboo words like bitch and faggot are sexually charged, and saying them empowers the dom.

Sex is to a large extent about imagination, and verbal play helps shape the imagination by guiding the sub to where the dom wants him/her to go.

Effective verbal play can help a sub overlook small mistakes the dom might make.

Being insulted, talked down to, and so on can be very humiliating, which some subs really enjoy.

Verbal play can build anticipation for what's coming next "If you don't do this well enough, I'm going to spank you." (Narrator: He was going to spank the sub anyway.)

I know one boy that I can make cum hands-free just by giving him a good chewing out (@boyspunky, you know what I'm talking about...)

So how do you learn to get good at verbal play? It's basically practice. Build up a repertoire of things you can say, so that you can develop some variety. Get used to saying things like "Down on your knees, cunt!" and practice them until you can say them with a straight face and a tone of authority. When you're done playing, ask for some feedback about what worked and what didn't. (You do ask your subs to give you feedback, right?)

So there are a few key principles to work with in verbal play.

1) Vary your language. Don't keep saying 'bitch'.That makes you look unimaginative and it drains the insult of its erotic charge. We've all watched boring porn where they just say "take that cock" or "oh my god that feels so good" over and over again. If you don't want to sound like bad porn, you need to work on your verbal game. So figure out as many variations as you can and alternate them. If your sub likes a particular term, use that one more frequently. And remember that for a sub, an insult can be a term of endearment. A lot depends on your tone of voice.

2) Use verbal play to build anticipation. Tell the sub what's coming next. If you want to spank the sub, you can threaten it as a punishment for failure, or promise it as a reward for good service, or just tell the sub it's coming. Getting good at this will create the impression that you've planned out the scene (even if you're just improvising).

3) Verbal play can tell the sub how you want them to understand what's happening. Most BDSM acts can have multiple interpretations. For example, pissing on the sub can be about enjoying the liberating physicality of the act ("It feels so damn good to take a piss!"), a statement of humiliation ("you're so pathetic you're gonna let me piss on you"), a statement of ownership and marking ('You're my pissed-on property"), a reward ("if you beg, I'll reward you with my piss") and so on. If you want pissing on the sub to be a humiliation, say so.

4) Verbal play can tell the sub how you want him to act. If the sub knows you want to humiliate him, he's more likely to play into that. And you can tell the sub what you want to see. "If you beg well enough, I'll stop torturing your tits" and "Who's my good boy? Who's daddy's perfect little boy?" can signal the behavior you want.

5) You can dramatize your power by promising things and not giving them or changing your mind. "Ok, you can stop slapping your cock now. No, actually, I've changed my mind. Keep going."

6) Learn the 'magician's force'. Stage magicians use this to guide the audience. If a magician wants you to choose the blue cup and you pick the red cup, he'll say, "ok, that's the one we'll set aside." It creates the illusion of choice while keeping the magician in charge. You can do similar tricks with a sub, in which you give the sub a choice while keeping the illusion of control. I often ask my boy "Would you like me to stop slapping your cock?" If he says 'yes', I'll say "That's too bad. I'm not ready to stop." (But now I know that the boy might be approaching a limit.) If he says no, I'll say "That's good, because I'm not going to." There are lot of games this can be applied to.

7) Verbal play can focus the sub's attention and plant thoughts and feelings in the sub's head. When I'm torturing a boy, I'll say "I'll bet having your tits clamped like that really hurts. You don't think you can take much more of that, do you?" If I'm stroking his cock I might say "God that feels good, doesn't it? Your cock must be bursting. You're probably hoping I'll let you cum soon." Things like that will focus the sub's attention on the facet of the experience you're trying to create. Being told the pain is getting unbearable makes it harder for the sub to manage the pain. And this can sometimes create the impression that the dom knows what the sub is thinking. The sub is having those thoughts and the dom seems to be vocalizing them, when in reality part of the reason the sub is having that thought is that the dom is encouraging the sub to think about that. Many subs love the fantasy of the omniscient dom.

8) You can also help your sub manage the experience through verbal play. "Deep breaths, boy. That will help you manage the pain" or "Ok, I'm going to untie you now. Relax, you'll be free soon."

9) Don't forget to praise the sub. Unless the scene is all about humiliation, praise gives the sub encouragement and helps them feel a sense of pride. And if your scene is about humiliation, you can break the sub down and then build them back up by praising the submissive behavior you're seeking. "You can take this spanking, boy. You've done it before."

10) Verbal mind games can be great fun. Blindfold the sub and then ask them to figure out what toy you're using on them. Or talk to them in ways that make them nervous. "Hmm. I haven't used THIS toy in a while. The last sub I used it on wouldn't stop crying. I wonder if you'll be able to handle it."

11) How you say things can have a big impact on the scene. Whatever you say, it's important to sound like you have the authority to say it. Tentatively saying "umm, take it, uhh, you bitch" is going to make you sound weak when the sub wants you to sound strong. So practice saying things forcefully. That doesn't mean yelling it. Yelling will actually tend to make you look weak, as if you're resorting to volume to make up for authority. Instead you want to sound like you are used to giving commands and having them obeyed. Varying tones give different effects. Saying it with an angry edge in your voice can make a sub anxious in a good way. Saying it with a sound of contempt works well for humiliation play. Speaking softly can sound menacing. And don't forget the power of whispering. Leaning in close to a tied up boy and quietly saying "I'm really going to enjoy this next part, even if you don't" can send some boys over the moon because it combines intimacy with menace.

A couple general points to remember about verbal play

1) Insults can wound far more deeply than most toys. So be careful which ones you use. For example, if your sub is overweight, they're probably somewhat ashamed of their body already, and having their attention called to their weight will probably be humiliating in a bad way. So avoid insults like "fat pig" unless you've talked to the sub and know they're ok with that. Similarly, racially-loaded terms can add excitement for a sub who's of a different race from you, but they can also be very painful, so make sure you include respectful negotiation around racial insults before you start to employ them.

2) Don't joke about ignoring safe words. The sub needs to know you're going to respect the safe word (unless you two are advanced enough that you've decided to drop safe words--a practice that is definitely not for new players). "No" can mean "yes", but "red" has to mean "stop".

3) Verbal play should stop during aftercare, or it should shift to a more gentle and comforting phase. "Yes, baby. Daddy's gonna take care of you now."

4) Not all subs like humiliation and insults, so go cautiously until you know that the sub enjoys that sort of thing. For some subs, being insulted immediately brings them out of their headspace and makes them angry. Just as you wouldn't flog someone without their consent, don't verbally abuse them without it.

So what's your favorite verbal trick?

Layering

Alexander Martin:

This post is primarily for Dominants but perhaps boys will be interested in learning as well.

Layering is the act of placing an action, word, protocol, or anything else intended to make a submissive move into sub space. Layering is a tool a lot of doms use without even thinking about it. Here’s an easy example: Collar, leash, decorative rope work, having a boy call you Sir, having a boy naked in your presence, making a boy kiss your feet upon entering service, and capitalizing Sir when sending text messages. These are all layers.

Everyone is using them. So why discuss it? Layering just right, combining all different kinds of stimuli creates the experience. It takes a scene from enjoyable to unforgettable.

You want to hear out your boy’s fantasies.

You’ll want to know the right vocabulary for the guy you’re playing with.

You’ll want to consider what else could be done to the environment to enhance the scene.

Foreshadow.

Consider any special requirements you may have of the boy to get him in the right mindset.

Once you feel you’ve considered every angle of your scene (and i do often just make a list). Look critically at what you’ve pulled together and try to select the top five or top ten items that you want to layer together you feel are most effective. Too many more and a scene can feel a bit busy and the sub may have trouble determining where his attention should be.





This pic is a beautiful example of layering. Layering is when we utilize multiple effects to activate subspace within a boy. Think of layering like flavor added to a dish. When we use layering just right, the experience of sex becomes far richer than: “get hard, insert dick, cum”. And utilization of layering is what will distinguish between a master dominant and a newbie still cutting his teeth. I can see at least four things the dominant is doing simultaneously to activate subspace for this boy.

1) He has his hand on the boy’s head. This kind of touch is directive, relaying authority. It is comforting as well for a submissive to know his dominant is in charge but not overly aggressive about it.

2) The submissive is on all fours. This position brings to mind being fucked and it is a position generally unassumed in our daily life. That works to our favor as we can use the position to engrain the kind of reaction from a boy we want to envoke. I’ve seen boys so engrained with “all fours means play time” that they get hard simply getting on their hands and knees. And what more beautiful sight could we ask from our boys?

3) He’s using his scent to engage a boy’s nose and the salty flavor of a crotch to engage his mouth. Obviously, connection with the cock and balls is one of the easiest layers that everyone learns. The key here is that connection to your cock and balls is something that we use to focus a submissive on a service he is rendering for you. When his mind is focused like this, we like to think that everything else is blocked out, in reality his mind is most open to his environment and other stimulation because our mind is focused on such a simple task and there is room to process more.

4) He’s rubbing the boy’s hole. Rubbing seems simple at first blush but this is something that truly adds to his experience. We aren’t simply massaging the hole at a set pace and firmness. We need to vary the stimulation. Periodically go from a slow deep massage of his fuckhole to a brief but aggressive grabbing of his ass cheeks. It will give him a bit of a thrill and actually draw his attention away from anything else he might be doing for a moment. This variance in how you attend to your rubbing will create unexpected delights and reactions from him when you’re rough occasionally and they will also provide this very pleasant background sensation to his experience when your actions are smooth, pleasant, and unobtrusive.

hirsutehindquarters said: Do you have any audio recordings for training subs to cum on command?

Papa Tony:

Nope - Generally, I have to be in a particular mode of thinking before I remember to reach for the audio recording device. If I am pigging out in pleasure, then the thought never occurs to me!



I am assuming that you have read this article, before asking. As one clever follower says, I am giving an excellent example of Operant Conditioning. I suggest further study on the topic.

In my own case, I never use negative training. Positive reinforcement works very well for me.

The Law of the Jungle, vs. Kindness, Wisdom and Courtesy

Hundreds more articles like this can be found
at the Kink Mentoring Archives… Spread the word!


Something that has occurred to me a few times now that might strike a chord with you. 
- In wanting to be a protective, nurturing top (even as a sadist, or perhaps especially as a sadist) and see to my boys’ well-being,
- In wanting to inspire the submission and service of others,
- In wanting to be a better man which is at the core of all this, to be worthy…. it seems a bit like aspiring to knighthood.



Papa Tony:

That makes perfect sense to me. The first leathermen’s group that I created (nineteen years ago) was called the San Diego League of Gentlemen. That group’s name was meant to evoke the knights of old, and chivalry. This baffled a lot of folks at the time.



It always confused the Olde Guarde types who didn’t like what I was doing. They only wanted to boast about what they knew, and always in a tone of being superior to others. It was like we were endlessly scoring points in the Competitive Kink Games.

I was the ONLY one talking to the new faces among us, and it was always about being a Mensch. Sure, we’d host classes that taught kinky techniques. But I made sure that we taught a lot more.

It’s Not Enough To TALK About Hard Skills

“Technique” is another way of describing “Hard Skills” in the kinky scene. The typical, logical construction of a kinky class doesn’t tell the entire story: 



Such a class (or millions of Youtube videos) is dry, it’s analytical, and it’s inadequate.

In my long experience, “soft skills” (interpersonal courtesies, life-wisdom and social dynamics) are not as highly regarded in most cities. I suspect that this is because there are so few folks who have a wealth of knowledge AND the drive to share what is known.

I am glad to see that the San Francisco Leathermen’s Discussion Group has finally added a few “soft skills” classes over the course of decades. Good for them!

 

I wish that they would record and POST the discussions online, as I did with some of the FetishMenSanDiego Men’s Discussions. Those are intensely popular worldwide. Folks consume them like popcorn.

Soft Skills Are Crucial

In the last few months, I have posted over 300 articles, videos and audio recordings. I have plenty of hard skills to impart. Yet, I always make sure that I explain the context, and WHY it’s a good idea to do something.

“Soft Skills” and wise advice have to do with being a valuable contributor to our culture, through social graces. My teachings are always about being a GOOD Dom Top, above all else… Admirable, lovable, respectable and honorable.



My Flogging For Beginners instructional video has been posted in multiple places on the Internet. According to Google Analytics, it has been viewed 337,022 times as of today. I still get fan-mail every day, years after I created it.

What folks tell me is that I make the topic seem fun, light, playful and worth doing. Watching the video makes them feel like THEY can take it on, and succeed. Based upon what I hear from those same folks later on, they DO succeed. That was always my goal, and it is a delightful legacy.

This is because only around fifteen percent of the video has to do with dry technique. The other 85% is everything. I take the mystery out of flogging, and share it with pleasure. I loved the men that I was teaching, and I wanted that same love to show up in the video for everyone else.

Like all of what I send out, that flogging video is my gift of love to the world.

I have a fire in my belly that drives me ever onward.



I do the work that I have been doing because the Law of the Jungle is NO way to build a kind, genteel culture. I have spent decades teaching the newest folks acceptable behavior through positive reinforcement. The payoff is loving brotherhood and sisterhood, and in large quantities.



I do this because I was there in the midst of the greatest times in the history of the world for kinky gay leathermen. We were a solid Tribe and we had everything that we wanted. The future was SO very bright, and we were on an upward trajectory.

Then, AIDS killed off so many of the best of us. I have been spending the remainder of my life, bringing that loving community back. I have never taken a day off.

And I’m so glad you’re sharing it. You speak very much to what I feel in my heart, the things I truly want, my ideals. In service and submission to my SIR, my heart is progressively more fully into it, knowing that he is a good and worthy man, not just a “hot top”.

And, I feel more comfortable in pursuing dominance with my own boys being *me* - a loving, affectionate man - rather than trying to be some cartoon porn caricature of a Top. It’s getting easier for me to “be” one or the other and feel I’m being my genuine self in both cases.

Am I Unattractive?

Anonymous:  Question sir. If a sub or son were quite heavy, would that turn away potential doms/daddies. I know each one is different, but I mean overall, what tends to be the trend?

Unknown author:

To be brutally honest, the trend is based on porn. That means that this:

is more appealing in general than this:

or this:

and I vehemently disagree.

Most common is the ‘twink’ and not the otter or cub son, and that’s speaking extremely generally. I, and many other Daddies out there, have a more discerning eye for quality and tend to see past the trappings to what’s really on offer. A chubby, scruffy cubby will trump a smooth twink every time if he can smile, have fun and be a joy to have around.

What makes a boy attractive to me is that he is comfortable in his own body. He doesn’t have to ‘love’ how he looks or feel super sexy; he just has to be ok with who he is and know that the right person will want that and not that common image of beauty.

“Feeling sexy” is something Daddy can easily provide for the right boy and he’ll eventually come to understand that is how he should feel regardless of how his ‘outside’ appears. If he’s happy with himself, comfortable as he is then Daddy will take care of the rest.



Nachtsoul:
Sometimes a guy who qualifies as "heavy" will catch my eye. I had a boy that was 100lbs overweight, but still beautiful in my eyes. I first knew him when he was smoking hot body-wise, but no matter how he changed physically, that was always the boy my heart saw.

Good Boy

realworldsubmissive:
They are two incredible words.

They make me feel safe when it hurts.

If I’m scared, the bonds too tight

They can comfort me, keep me safe at night.

Or when I think I’m at my limit,

I’ll hear those words and in a minute,

To push for you I’ll be inspired

To go further than first desired.

They reaffirm my gift to you,

That bond we have; I know it’s true.

Those special words, to hear I crave

As boy, submissive, bitch or slave.

They say I’m more than just a boy;

I am a good boy. Your good boy.

And what else should I want to be?

I have no idea who wrote this - I received it via text-message. I am posting it here because it absolutely speaks for my preferred way of expressing my sadistic nature, while enjoying long-term relationships with my submissives.

Full-Body Orgasms, In Less Than Sixty Seconds. Using Nothing But Your Voice

Hundreds more articles like this can be found
at the Kink Mentoring Archives… Spread the word!



An advanced, kinky technique called “Orgasm Control.”

Introduction: Setting The Goal.

I have two male slaves. They are both sixty years old. I have been training them for years, using positive reinforcement, keen observation and fierce, unswerving determination.

I have them both trained to go from completely flaccid, to full-body orgasms in less than sixty seconds, while using nothing but my voice. I have done this many, many times.

When an earlier submissive was 61 years old, I made him have seven orgasms within a two-hour play-period, until he begged me to stop… “It feels like my spine is coming out of my cock!”

I can also issue a command for them to cum during a play-scene, and they will, within seconds.

This has NOTHING to do with penis size, or any other physical characteristic. It’s sheerly seduction, and the power of the mind.

It Ain’t Bragging If It’s True

The purpose of this article is to teach other Doms the same techniques.

FIRST, you have to KNOW that such results are possible. None of these sexual trainings are ever featured in porn. You can search the Internet all day, and not find similar information, because it requires subtlety and perception. This is advanced-level stuff.
Controlling Orgasms

Each of the sexual results that I listed above, fall under the topic of Orgasm Control. It’s a definite and desired specialty. It’s a perversion that is all about domination. The current conversation about Cum Control is nearly all about cock-caging. I’m a big fan, but cages are sort of a sledgehammer technique. I will be teaching in a very different direction.
My History

Where did I get the necessary techniques? Well, I didn’t make them up on my own. Back in the 1970′s, I had gone from enduring a repressive childhood, to openly gay, and then eagerly diving DEEP into the gay-male Kink/Leather/Fetish crowd.

As I have said before, I have Topped an enormous number of men, at hundreds of huge fist/flog/fuck-parties, and in smaller groups. Afterward, I would always ask “How could I have done that better?” Many of the men back then were deeply experienced sexual athletes, and they would gladly answer my questions.

I was using sex to draw men of all ages closer to me, and then get my REAL payoff, which was earned wisdom. I was ferociously driven to improve my abilities. Unlike so many men who enjoyed those times to the fullest, I didn’t die. So, now I will reveal what I learned….
Investing For The Long Term

If you are still in the phase where you are “liberating your dick,” (interested primarily in QUANTITY of sex), then these instructions might be arriving too early for you. Bookmark this page, and go have a great time. That’s a natural and normal phase.

Once you have transitioned naturally to the search for QUALITY in interpersonal dynamics, come on back and try again. I say this seriously, because there has to be a deep desire to rock a long-term, collared submissive’s world… To metaphorically lift off the top of his skull, find the big, red button in his pleasure center, and then JAM your thumb down on it.

The way that you start is by being in a long-term, mutually-investing relationship. Wildly-successful Orgasm Control usually (USUALLY) isn’t possible with a casual, one-time fling, though I have accomplished it. I will explain how, later.
Interviewing The Sub

Let’s say that you are a Dom Top, with a freshly-collared submissive male, who wants very badly to please you. His whole life is focused upon your pleasure. It’s time to get some information.

Demand feedback at all times. Before, during and after a scene. Pay attention to what words or concepts get him the hottest. Notice the patterns of his desires, even if he doesn’t realize what he is revealing. Drill down to what really rocks his world.

Example: If you have issued orders for him to send you an email with five fantasy scenarios that excite him, even if they scare him, you might notice that nearly all of them bring up some form of basic, narrow desire: immobilization, or gangbangs, or breath control. That’s a good start. Keep that in mind for later.

No two subs are the same. Your goal is to learn everything that you can about THIS one.

I Am Not Describing A Chinese Menu

A lot of times, an eager Sir will veer toward becoming a Service Top, where the effort of pleasing the sub can be all about the sub, to the point of forgetting about our own needs. The trap that we can fall into is where we get the sub’s fantasies presented to us on a plate, and so we pick one from Column A, and two from Column B. This is called the Chinese Menu approach.

I urge my fellow Sirs to step away from that trap. The goal is to make note of what the sub wants, and then to add your OWN desires to the mix, so that we are gently training the sub to expand his basic desires into new, exciting and pleasurable areas. 
 
The Positive Feedback Loop

This is best accomplished by using ONLY pleasurable rewards. Inflicting unwanted stimulation provides negative response, so we don’t do that. If you are going to attain the result of playing your sub like a violin, then you have to be constantly dedicated to polishing your technique. Each scene needs to build toward the next one.

When I am training a new sub, I make sure that he consciously notices when something wonderful happens. I never miss any opportunity to reward desirable results.

As one example: If he can’t control himself and cums “early” during a scene, most men will apologize. After all, porn orgasms don’t happen that fast, and he is sure that he must have screwed up. Instead, I praise him, saying something like “I LOVE to see a man cum so easily. Men with a fast trigger are the ones who are the most trainable.”

Just like that, I am programming him in a particular direction. He wants to please his Sir, so he lets go of his inhibitions and his old, shame-based judgments about himself. I am creating a new, pleasurable reality for him. The deeper he goes into further submission, the more that he pleases me, and he knows it without question, because I keep rewarding him.

Everybody wins.

Wisteria Vines



I tend to use visual metaphors. So, here is one of my favorites:

When two tendrils of a Wisteria vine meet each other, they twine around each other, and start sharing their growth together. They will grow one way, and then another, but always together.

I use this metaphor as a description of how two dedicated kinksters can enjoy years and years of pleasurable interaction because they are exploring TOGETHER. Shit happens, life intrudes, things aren’t always optimal, and yet, we keep on growing. Together.

So, What Does This Have To Do With Orgasms?

Easy, cowboy… All of this is relevant.

In order for a man to shift away from easy, I’ll-just-jack-off-to-porn patterns of getting off, he needs darned good reasons to do so. When he has a Sir who focuses upon his pleasure, then entirely-new possibilities open up. His envelope of experience keeps expanding. That’s the ideal scenario.

Making Powerful Declarations

Our surrounding culture doesn’t put much positive emphasis on being responsible. It’s kind of a throwaway concept.

Not in my world.

When I get a new sub off, and it’s the best orgasm that he’s ever had, and he’s all astonished and pleased, I make a powerful declaration: "It only gets better.” This astonishes the sub, because he can’t imagine how that could be.

I am the one who really benefits from that declaration - It forces me to keep my word. It is a statement of what I stand for, and what my intentions are for the future. I am a man of integrity. I may not have any logical proof that I will deliver better and better orgasms, but I am wide-open to possibility.

When I happily strive to make it even BETTER for him, time after time, then he relaxes and trusts me even MORE. He drops whatever shields he may have had, because I am demonstrably the kind of man who follows through.

I am programming him to succeed.

Cumming On Command

If I am training a sub to orgasm when I tell him to do so, I plan for it over a period of months. Each time that I succeed in getting him off, I watch to see when he is getting close to cumming, Just before the point of no return, I ORDER him to cum. Well, he was going to, anyway, but now, it had the added bonus of making the Sir happy. That makes HIM happy.

This means that he is being programmed to please his Sir with orgasms. Each time that we do this, it gets easier for him to please me. His old concerns and considerations fade away. He is becoming more animalistic and uninhibited. He starts cumming more wildly, and more thoroughly. Orgasms last longer, and take over more of his body.
Cumming Multiple Times

In some cases (the sub that cums quickly as a natural reaction), I will have trained him to cum multiple times. I shove him right over the edge into complete pleasure, using what I know will excite him the most. We cuddle for fifteen or twenty minutes, Then, I do it AGAIN. He doesn’t have a choice. I am domming him into uncontrolled ecstasy. I am being sadistically pleasurable.

After a few months of relentlessly-dedicated training using positive reinforcement, then I have complete control over all parts of him, including his orgasms, which belong to me, now and forever.
Using My Voice

Hark back to what I said about gathering information about the sub’s deepest fantasies. He has triggers that always push him over the edge. It’s my pleasurable duty or seek these out, and to exploit them.

After rewarding a sub for cumming for my pleasure for a few years, then I can use only my voice while he jacks off. I talk dirty, but honestly. I verbally express my honest fantasies that involve the sub. This makes him go nuts with pleasure. Blam! Time to scrub the walls.

Doing The Same, But With A Newbie

This is ridiculously easy, as long as you understand one thing about subs: Their dirtiest fantasies almost ALWAYS involve gangbangs. If you were to walk into an Adult Store and peruse the porn shelves, a large amount of it involves one sub being fucked by many men. This is hardwired into human sexual natures, despite what we have been taught.

It’s neither wrong nor right. It just is. So, knowing that, we Sirs can exploit that fantasy. I recently wrote about the pleasures of being a Pimp Daddy. Not every sub is ready to do that, and his concerns are valid and important.

HOWEVER, if I declare that we are now entering entirely into the world of fantasy, and that my goal is to get him fucked properly by lots of juicy cocks of different sizes, then BLAM! - He’s so hot that he can’t hold back any longer. I gave him express permission to dive deep into what excites him.

I just used my Dom influence to make him more of a sexual beast.
In Summation

I am not saying that all of this will work for everyone, every time. However, I do say that a strong desire to own every orgasm is how we build success upon success. A deep, laser focus on sexually dominating a sub always pays off big in pure, eager submission. It’s the perfect win-win scenario, and we create it over time.

I also mention it here.

Positive Things to Say to Your Submissive

robtwus:

Incredibly important!!!

Doms, Masters, Daddy’s and Men - your boys are meant to serve you, but you need to take care of them too!!!!




Papa Tony:

I have a few to add:

I am pleased.

You satisfy Me.

Very good.

I do NOT say “Thank You” to a Service Submissive. Not because it is bad, but because it is too common. People all around us say “thank you” as easily as breathing. It’s not much different from carrying a roll of toilet paper, and writing “I love you” on a sheet, tearing it off and handing it to a stranger.

Saying “thankyewvermuch” not as valuable as letting the submissive know that he CONNECTED appropriately and completely with his Sir’s desires.






Gymger In The City:




Dear sir Looking for a list of words and phrases that encourage a sub. Saw it once and neglected to save it. Thank you

Instructor144:

Good girl.

I’m proud of you.

You got this.

You can do it.
