DMFParadox -> RE: What do you require of your sub/slave? (2/27/2008 9:22:30 AM)

%100 authority in almost every aspect of my sub's life, or things go pear-shaped quickly. Like the others here, I rarely exercise that authority completely, but when it counts I insist on it. I like things done my way; I'm very strict, and somewhat hard to please, as my pet can attest. As the submissive proves herself capable, I relax and give her her head; but if she doesn't, I lean harder and harder until she either breaks or succeeds in the tasks I give her. I don't chince on rewards when she succeeds though, however long it takes. As for specific requirements, I first demand service. If I were not serious about this, then it would cheapen the relationship. Little tasks--fetching coffee, kneeling when I ask her to, backrubs; and big tasks, as appropriate. Second, I insist that she be happy and fit emotionally, physically, and financially. If she's down, I try to lift her up; if she's up, I try to raise it higher. When she doesn't want out of the bed, I'll drag her out and have her sincerely thankful for it before I'm done. Third, I *don't* ask her to be true to herself--I ask her to seek out the risky and uncomfortable and push her boundaries, because that is how colors become brighter and smells sweeter. That's how you grow. If she doesn't trust the direction I'm taking her in, I'll listen; but if I still feel that I'm right, then she'd better follow my lead, regardless of how true it feels to her.
