quote: I am curious to your motives for wanting him to take more control? Thanks for the kudos Dominic Hmm... well that isn't really a quick answer... apparently cause I'm still trying to explain it to him lol. I shall give it a shot. When we started about 9 years ago and I was very subby. For varous reason including my chronic illness, and his inability to take control we sort of drifted into more of a housemate/friend situation for a few years. A few months back we started getting active again in the local scene and I discovered that I wasn't quite as naturally submissive as I had been. I think becasue I had to pretty much take charge of everything the last few years and do everything myself so that submissive side sort of got buried and I have been trying to find it lol. I find myself wanting/needing more than I used to as far as control and dominance goes. He can be really dominant and strong and confident when we are at the club, but not so much at home. I think he needs someone more submissive as well, I kinda think we just don't fit anymore in that part of our relationship, but he disagrees and keeps saying he will work on it, but he doesn't. Essentially, I offer him my submission, and to give up control to him, but then he doesn't take it, or do anything with it. If that makes any sense at all, so I end up taking it back, and being a bit reluctant to give it again... but I want to. The trust is a bit shaky. So that is sort of our personal situation that we are working on. I argue with myself all the time that if I am a good sub for him, I won't ask for, expect, or need anything from him, so I struggle with this. But we are submissive for a reason, and we have to get something out of it or else we wouldn't do it. Having him take control and make some decisions that I normally make (note I said some, not all) sort of lets me relax and not feel like I have to take care of everything myself. It also turns me on to have him ask for something, or take control and be stronger. When he is stronger and more dominant, I feel stronger. I know that has to make sense to some of the subs out there, I know it does to some I've talked to. It simply makes me happy to be told what to do sometimes. Gives me purpose, reminds me I have a place and a value to him. Maybe I shouldn't need reminding, I don't know.. I just know that what we have been doing isn't working, and my feeling is that I really need him to be stronger more of the time. No, I don't want him to take control of every aspect of my life, and it's not really about specifics of what he tells me to do. It's more about his attitude and energy. When we are at the club and the energy and circumstances make him stand up straighter, and get that look on his face, and he tells me to go get him a water... it makes my knees weak. I can do things that make him feel that a little more at home, but that still makes me feel like I am in control (make sense?) If I get a bit too sassy, or am not doing something he expects me to do, I want him to remind me and/or correct me. He tends not to do that here though. I know this is not very clear, but the simple answer is that I need to feel that power and control more of the time. IT makes me stronger, and frankly is a huge turn on for me. I am a pretty independant person and I take care of certain things that I feel he shouldn't have to be responsible for. But I feel when I give my submission to a Dom, they do take on some responsibility to care for and nurture that gift and that isn't happening here very well. I love him, and will never leave him. I am his for as long as he wants me to be. But our M/s side of the relatonship needs some tweaking. Please don't everyone jump on me and tell me all the things that I am supposed to be doing, or should be doing to make him feel more dominant, or how Im not a good sub, because I need something from him, etc. I've been through it all, and tried it all, and I beat myself up on a daily basis because I can't be what I think he needs me to be. So be nice lol.
