Looking for ideas for "essay" titles - 6/23/2005 5:34:23 PM

Am looking for some "ideas" or examples of "essay" titles that a Submissive can do as an assignment.

Example... "What is a Dom.. What is a sub.." or "What i kinky"

I am trying to start a education/ meaningfull dialog and to stimilate thoughts and comments that we both can share.

(ok so I am not all that imaginary.. )

When we first started dating, I had the boyfriend watch Dangerous Liasons and The Devils Advocate and write an essay on the interpretation of passion, sex and power as viewed from the perspective of those two films.

Any essay that sounds like it could be the title of a poem is bad and won't give you any insight.

Find out what the sub needs to think about, what they are lacking, be specific and help them think about it in a new way.

Ask them to write their own obituary, ask them to create a 7 course meal in written detail and service, ask them to compare and contrast the meaning of authority in Saving Private Ryan versus Secretary.

Anything that doesn't start with "What does submission mean to you?"

Have her write her interpretation of "Kink and Pink", this should generate some creativity.

What writings will you be sharing with her so she can get to know you as well? :)

When I write "for" somebody I tend to do free flow of thoughts based on my experiences of the day so I have no objection to the concept of writing.

I don't even have an objection to the concept of "I'd like to know what you think of X, write it for me." (In fact, I have to find the one I did for the One I did it for....).

But even D/s is about building a relationship, "Hi, make yourself crazy and make it all feel like work, not what drives your soul" seems to me to not be the best way to go about doing it.

I know, mileage will vary.

I am one of those who requires essays, journalling and post-meeting reactions, etc.

The latter is where I have found the most worth - after we were together, I'd ask her to tell me what she thought, how she felt, did she have worries or fears, did she have new insights into her sexuality, mine? What did she learn about herself, about me?

What I really want, and what gives me grist for understanding her in an intuitive, non-rationcinative way is insight into her inner dialogue, thoughts and feelings.

So in answer to your question, instead of pulling an essay topic out of thin air ("What is a Tuba?"), instead you might ask her to journal or write about her feelings in response to time with you. If you aren't able to get together in RT, or are still moving towards that, a decent substitute might be media that produced a strong reaction in her, ie what was the first movie that made you masturbate? Why did it make you so hot? How did you feel afterwards? I find that sort of thing, less "What did you do mechanically" and more "Why did you do it and what were you thinking" to be very valuable in truly understanding her psycho-sexuality.

Not sure what your end goal is here. If you're looking for emotional insight into someone else's character, the posts above have some great suggestions. But, if you're like me and you want your Dom/sub to go through some personal research, think about what they've learned, and then put their feelings into an essay as a way of helping them clarify their ideas, here are some titles that I've used in the past.

1. The essence of helplessness, and how it excites/terrifies me.

2. Punishments: Behavior correction or foreplay?

3. Five things I want to change about myself and why? Or Five things I want to change in our relationship and why.

4. Why I feel so strongly about (and fill in a hard limit, an extreme fetish, desired fantasy, etc.).

5. Why I crave (humiliation, pain, love, sexy lingerie, etc.)

Don't know where you wanted this to go... But, what I did and still do with my slave. Is to give her some research projects on topics that are of joint interest. For example, she is curious about her native american roots. I have traveled over alot of the Pacific Northwest. I had her research and write about Chief Joseph and the controversy about his grave site.

This gave me some insight as to how she gathered information. But also gave me some idea, of how she formed opinions.

I also gave her topics that had no interest to her, but were of interest to me... just to see how she would approach these. I would not say she did outstanding, but adequate enough to discuss some simple concepts.

Write about the subs kinks. And love is always a good one. What does love mean, or what is love.

I have written a bunch about my different kinks, exhibitionism is a main topic for me, because there are so many people who miss understand it.

I think the challenge of putting into words how something makes you feel, or why you like it. Is a great topic for like ever lol.

Silverkit, check the date in the upper left hand corner of the dialog window. The mods don't like it when you dredge up 8 year old threads. Three months, tops. You can link to it, though.
