-laughs- Awww... you let the cat right out of the bag! I'd only use that to discipline though... I think that anyone with a decent grasp on psychology would understand that it's an effective method of discipline. A submissive I scened with for quite a while wanted to try for a full three day stint of submission. I knew he wasn't ready to let himself be taken over but I hashed it out with him saying that I'd keep the D/s light. He couldn't handle that either. Part of him just wasn't ready. The next morning he asked what he should wear. I told him that he could wear whatever he wanted. He then asked what I wanted for breakfast. I told him I had already eaten. I said that I would be heading home and he could have a free day. He could do as he pleased. He could come and go without asking for permission. He could eat, drink and wear what he wished. There would be no management - no control whatsoever. Less than an hour later he was seated beside my chair as I used my computer looking forlorn and rather lost. He craved the control, but he wasn't sure how to just let himself trust. He wanted so badly to impress and please. But he wasn't sure about handing over everything that he was. I ignored him completely unless he spoke to me. And when he asked questions I responded, but never asked for anything - never made demands. After about half an hour he spoke up, "Ma'am?" I glanced toward him, brow gradually rising in silent question. He looked up, met my gaze for a moment before looking away. Hesitantly he began again, "Ma'am. I feel uncomfortable. I don't feel - right." I paused, considering his words. Without a word I took hold of him by the hair and began to pull him closer gently until I had half of him in my lap. He wiggled a bit closer and began to cry silently. I typed with one hand, still not speaking to him. I'm not sure how much time passed but eventually he whispered a "thank you" so quiet that I almost didn't hear him. I had a feeling I understood why he'd said it, but I murmured, "Clarify." He said that he felt much more serene - more than he'd ever felt. And a bit of that barrier... that mental blockade had cracked, letting him savor the feeling of a gentle, quiet control. Ack... pardon the little story. I'm quite sleepy!
