Submissive …… early in the journey

Female friend and I have been close for several years, she’s recently done, dusted and exited a really crap marriage; even took her maiden name back to seal the deal. I travel a lot so we only get limited time together.

During a recent catch up, I inadvertently gave her a playful slap on a single arse cheek, thought nothing of it and laughed while doing so; to my surprise she let out an audible gasp, a noise I’d not heard before!

I noted it, said nothing and then a little later proffered another, slightly more vigorous slap on the same cheek; she moaned this time and looked at me with “do that again” eyes.

Fast forward and she’s very bravely opened up about wanting to submit and let me take total control of her; the trust bond between us has been honed over several years and I’d absolutely love to indulge her.

However, I’ve zero experience and would be grateful of any advice or direction from the community.

Thanks in advance.

Read as much non fiction on the subject as you can and don't do anything 'inadvertently' .

Talk to her in depth about the direction she wants to go in and share your feelings about that.

Then enjoy

Talk, then talk some more especially about consent and boundaries. Once you’ve done that enjoy the experience.

The only bit of advice is that the submissive is allowing you control over them, so you must honour any agreement made.

I have served Madam’s in the past for an afternoon of submission, prior to the session I agreed to most of the things suggested, the stuff I didn’t want to do never happened or wasn’t pushed on to me. So my experience was a good one and certainly something I’d like to do again.

Exactly as others have stated. It's permissive submission and unless you take the time to understand the person everything else is role play cartoon world. The strongest connection is security in them k owi g you are trust worthy. Confidence in knowing you arent trying to actually harm them, self control in k owing you can renain attentive even when turned on, attention again to their body.

Few put that much effort so FEW ACTUALLY experience the reward of a submissive

My wife is also my submissive and it's fantastic because she loves and trusts me 100%. Trust is the cornerstone of any Dom/sub relationship. Educate yourself, there are lots of fake Dom's about who will tell you to do what you want as you are in charge, I have had this. Talk, talk and talk some more. It's important you understand her and what she wants from this. I also agree with reading as much non fiction as you can , there are some good books on BDSM. I told my sub of my fantasy of sharing her and making her my slut, she wasn't sure about this at first but long story short she is now loving it and has fucked three other guys so far. This is all because of the trust we have and how I gently pushed her out of her comfort zone and trained her. Happy to chat further if you want to DM me.

I echo a lot of what’s been said above, it’s trust in your dom that’s earnt. Someone mentioned fake doms who are either selfish or nasty as in cruel and actually it not about the pain pleasure.

It’s the pleasure of receiving the pain for me at least . More so than in vanilla sex there’s a heightened bond that makes the whole experience more intense because it comes from the brain as well as the physical act.

It sounds like you’re going on a journey together which is very cool as you’ll find out what you both enjoy or not as the case maybe .

An alternative view would be that unless both slaps were requested they were assaults.

I would suggest that she as well as him get educated on BDSM. Both should understand and learn about consent and discussion of what they want. A dynamic should not be left to a wink and a nudge.

An alternative view would be that before entering a dynamic the demonstration of: (a) an understanding of consent, (b) the skill to use the tools physical and psychological, are more important than trust.

Trust is important in any human dynamic but the way most people use it in BDSM, it seems to be about having a warm and fuzzy feeling about someone, which can't be good enough.

Replies thus far much appreciated so thank you all for taking the time.

As for non-consent or assault, perhaps you’ve misconstrued what I’ve written; that said and for clarity, there’s zero negativity within a very trusting relationship.

As an aside - the law clearly states that a person cannot consent to violence against them…so a lot of what we do in BDSM world is illegal…which is why the communication and trust part is so important.

Anyhoo, OP - you’ve got some great advice, and I’d echo the bit about both sides needing to do their research. You can’t assess a risk until you know all about it.

Just to add to what has been said above about trust - this works both ways, once you have discussed boundaries and limits you need to be able to trust the submissive to say when a limit has been reached, often feel this is overlooked and that all the onus falls on the Dom.

I would suggest reading The New Topping Book.

Also talk to them a lot, try to understand what submission looks like for them, what they want to experience. Talk about hard and soft limits, for both of you. Safe words and gestures.

If there is something you are both are interested in and don’t know how to do it, research. My partner loves fire and rope for example (not together), not something I had experience in so did a fire play workshop and attend regular rope classes.

Find out what the local kink scene is like and attend socials (munches) to make friends and maybe some pointers.

Once again, thanks to all who’ve taken the time to post and PM me, very much appreciated.

I’ve opened up the conversational dialogue and showed her the responses so far; we’re not a couple on Fab, she’s not comfortable with that as of yet, but fully aware of my account and posting.

As a follow up, it’s interesting as I’ve noticed she’s started replying “YES SIR” to some of the suggestions I’ve send via WhatsApp.

That’s absolutely new and entirely linked to recent discussions, she also a little ‘giddy’ and ‘chatty’ when the conversation turns to submission subjects.

Can I read anything into the “YES SIR” and/or should I respond differently to her when she utilises that reply?

It depends if she has a desired role.

Some like "good girl" or "that please me". Its about providing for them the sounding for their own emotional needs and desires and allowing them to submit, to give willingly all that was once often taken.

I’m in a D/S relationship.

You’d be surprised if you knew us as outwardly I’m a slightly shy, quiet guy, and she is a senior exec with hundreds of staff, very assertive etc.

But in our sex life she likes to submit and give herself to me, wants to be treated as a slut, with her three holes mine to use as I please, and loves being degraded.

I’d had a little bit of experience with a dynamic like this in a previous, brief relationship, and found it turned me on, and as trust has grown with my partner now, it’s really allowed this side of us to thrive.

When we started going down this road, we had a big discussion about safe words which are a must in my opinion. Having these agreed in advance means I don’t have to check in with her if I’m being too rough, or hurting her beyond a level that she desires. We don’t use the word ‘no’ as a safe word - in fact she likes to resist and feel overcome sometimes - we find the word ‘red’ for stop immediately, and ‘yellow’ for slow down/take it easier, ideal as there aren’t words we’d use during sex normally so there’s no scope for confusion. And when safe words are used, you have to totally respect them.

We have a non verbal system for when she’s wearing a gag or has my cock in her throat (!) can’t talk - she clicks her fingers. One click is the same as yellow, a second or multiple means red/stop.

Fetlife is a useful and inspiring resource (we have a couples profile on there: FilthAndLove - check us out!)

An alternative view is that it is not one or two things it is a mixed scorecard of items. Trust is a multilayered requirement as is respect and the layers are individual to the specific couple and their dynamic. It could be argued that consent, education, safety, being wary of applying social media selfish stereotypes,are all equally as important. But those items could fall under Trust and Respect but they still need to be thought about by both parties.

There are some excellent books on spanking The art of corporal punishment by Lady Pandora is a good place to start. I have practiced both as a spanker and spankee, but given my subservient tendencies I prefer the latter. As others in this post have said, do your research, you may enjoy a visit to a fetish club where demo around bondage, safe delivery when using floggers paddles tawse. Sure you will both find your levels of pleasure.

Lots of things can be LIFE OR DEATH. It's probably time for a serious post about not running whilst holding scissors, making sure your shoelaces are tied - ESPECIALLY whilst on an escalator, and the hazards of eating yellow snow.

Unfortunately I can't provide the links but here is an abstract of a study of the criminal cases.

I hope this helps understanding why serious kinksters take the matter seriously. In the cases consent to bdsm was used, which largely implies a non ethical D/s relationship. I have changed some of the words which Fab rejects.

"

Thanks to the case law decision in R v Brown, you should not be able to claim consent to serious injury in the

law of England and Wales, but our research on the outcomes in the criminal justice system shows that this

existing case law is not up to the task and that statutory provision is now required, as well as wide ranging

measures to ensure that the law works in practice, and adequate data be collected to confirm the law is working.

3.1.1.5 This research briefing sets out our data on homicides and non-fatal assaults – the detail of the latter is included

here for the first time. In homicides, too often the claim that she consented is successful, with prosecution for

manslaughter, a lighter sentence, or in some cases the death initially not treated as a crime at all.

3.1.1.6 Now we have found that the existing case law is referred to rarely in the non-fatal assault cases, and even where

consent defence is disallowed by judges, they will give credit in sentencing for “a belief” that the woman

consented. Men are not being prosecuted for acts of admitted violence – and even where they are, the man

presents a defence that she consented, and often juries do not convict.

3.1.1.7 The violence used in non-fatal assaults includes waterboarding, wounding, electrocution, str####£ation and

asph@@xiation, slapping, beating, punching, and kicking, and in one case, a shotgun fired intimately at a woman.

3.1.1.8 Notably the women injured in the cases in our research do not agree that they consented to the violence, where

they are able to take part in criminal proceedings. But still the claims they did succeed.

3.1.1.9 The 1993 Brown case law - which concerned gay men in consensual sadomasochism – has long been argued

by lawyers and students to be illiberal, outdated, and ripe for reform. And case law decisions since have

narrowed the effect of Brown. We can now confirm that the CPS believe that the case law will be overturned

and so are not prosecuting violent assaults which could be claimed to be consensual."

There are loads of examples of people choking on their own saliva whilst ballgagged, or life changing injuries from poorly positioned rope etc etc. The point is that risks are often not understood or considered. Unlike those in your, forgive me, irrelevant examples.

Loads? A 24 year study in Germany from 1993 to 2017 which looked at 16,437 autopsies, found only three deaths due to consensual BDSM activities.

There are inherent risks in pretty much anything, but is it really the kink equivalent of Base Jumping?

For me, the issue is less about people giving well-meaning advice and more about the tendency for it to be wrapped up in a preachy "listen to your elders" tone. This entire thread is a testament to that. Someone has even gone to the trouble of writing 500 words of case law.

My experience is, as the BDSM community is a haven for the neurodiverse, a substantial amount of the feedback given to newbies is of the "read all the books and learn all the rules or you'll kill somebody" variety.

It's gatekeeping, plain and simple. People die or get injured during non-BDSM sex all the time, you don't see the rest of us doling out reading lists.

So, sure, if you're going to tie her up and hang her from the rafters, by all means read a book on how to do that without accidentally hacking one of her legs off.

For the rest of it, if you're giving her a friendly spank and role-playing pupil and sir, you're probably just fine to work out between yourselves what the limits are and how to have fun without joining the Make Everything Boring club.

I'm not a Dom, because it sounds like bloody hard work. It's clearly not just about being nasty to someone - the impression I get is that you're taking responsibility for someone else's sexual pleasures and safety.

That's a pretty big responsibility!

As someone above said, read as many non fiction as you can. Avoid the obvious books, that’s nothing like real life (in most circumstances). Make sure you both speak openly and honestly about limits, rules, desires etc. Make sure you have a Red (no way) Amber (maybe in time) Green (go ahead) list.

The most important part of a D/s relationship is ensuring there’s open communication.

Aftercare is equally important.

All D/s relationships are different and everyone will want different things from their submission, make sure you’re both on the same page. Some want complete control, some need someone to control. There are all different types of D/s, pleasure Dom, Pain Dom etc etc etc

If the safe word is ever used, discuss it, speak about it, communicate what went too far.
