Sir Asher, i try to give him a massage, even pointedly bought some almond oil for it when we were shopping together, but i have only given him that first massage when we met, and since then he hasn't wanted one at the times i volunteer. dear miss sunshine, those are all cute suggestions. i keep feeling though that all suggestions are too much over the top for him, which is helping me define exactly where he and I are, actually, so this is useful. bound2 one, you are right, we are more formal reserved people, and even he has remarked on my modesty, thinking it excessive. and we have talked about our expectations, but mostly in a very circumspect way, mainly my fault rather than his. i also really do think that overcommunicating in the beginning is dangerous, and get panicky when we get too deep. you may think that is silly, but i have observed that when people disclose too much too fast about themselves, it tends to overwhelm the other person and lead to distancing. i would rather slow things down than take that risk, and actually it seems to be working in general. this way, every new disclosure or information that slips out is delightfully interesting and intrigueing. we already did cover the real essentials to do with compatibility and desire for the same relationship goal.. everything else even BDSM is just detail. LadyLynx, we are easing into a 24/7 M/s relationship, so pretty much operating as if i was already his slave, in an 'easing your way into the shallow end' kind of way. LordandMaster, I really agree with your quote: "Relationships work when people can be exactly who they are, when who they are is exactly what the other person wants and needs them to be. " I think we are both exactly who we are, and that we are what the other person really needs. I actually think that he would ask more of me in terms of sexual service if he just gave himself permission. I suspect it is a combination of him holding himself back to see the relationship is solid first (very wise, and we discussed this and agreed), a combination of not asking for anything for himself from habit from past relationships and past decisions about how to proceed, and part that he is afraid to ask too much from me, because he is afraid to scare me off as i came to him as a newbie, he is my first rt experience. if i can just get him to give himself permission to ask or take what he wants from me, i think we will both more completely satisfy each others needs. note: i am not asking for more sexual attention and pleasure for myself, but to be allowed to give him more sexual pleasure and attention. which of course would give me more sexual pleasure. MistressNoName, as above to IrishMist. also, i do tell him when i am having difficulty expressing myself or communicating. and i agree about treating it like two adults. i just want a series of suggestions about various ways to bring it up effectively via actions, body language, etc as well as verbal communicaiton. what these answers are showing me, is that he has a very natural, in the flow, and also very deliberate style that is extremely true to his nature. i love and respect this style and it is also very natural to me, but i am a bit 'quicker' than him and could stand a quicker pace. but i would rather have him the way he is and get used to his pace, than have a quicer pace with someone else.. it is easier to deal with being a little bit hungry with him, that a little bit too overwhelmed from someone else. i have also realized from everyone's excellent ideas, that to introduce this idea of me serving him more has to be done in a way that is compatible with his flow of energy, his personal Doming style. this involves timing and subtlety.. not really my strengths, though so far i have been doing fine with him by being in a very passive, receptive mode. when i am passive and just yield to him and his energy, we are completely in sync. it is going to be a lot more difficult for me to find a way to be active and initiate and maintain that same syncronicity. i may be getting ahead of myself to even try, and i think it may be best for me to let our relationship establish a bit more, let our natural rhythms develop over more time, before i try and add something new to the mix. this is where now i am so different than before i discovered i was submissive.. it is like i suddenlty 'get' a lot more of this.. before i completely failed in this department of timing, rapport, etc etc... this on top of being with the wrong kind of men and not realizing it. georgeous1, i think you get me more than anyone else here.. though even your suggestions are probably too much for our situation at present, but i think they will work in the future. partly to compliment him tends to lead to a self depricating even sarcastic comment directed at himself. though i think on some level he does hear and appreciate my compliments. and he has admitted that he doesn't compliment me enough and is going to try and do better in the future. i need to think really subtle here, and i think that will come with time. anybody here used to dealing on that subdued and subtle a level, your experience would be really helpful. also, it is quite possible at some point he will read here, even if because he just does drop in on Collarme to read my profile, and he is logical and thorough enough to check out my forum posts if he does. it would be the obvious thing to do. can any Dominants/Masters here on the more reserved side, tell me if they would personally be offended or upset if a submissive or slave of theirs were to start a topic to ask for help with this kind of issue? i did it here in the relative anonymity of a huge site like Collarme, rather than in the more intimate local site on which we met.
