cravinspankin -> Scene preparations (11/16/2005 1:50:26 PM)

I have found that i am disappointed in myself lately for not being able to get into the right "head space" while scening with different Doms. As a result, the experience is much more painful and less pleasurable than it has been at other times.
I am very new to this lifestyle and was hoping some of you may have some advice as to how you Prepare Yourself, your mind and body, for a scene.
Also, are there things your Dom or Master do at the start of a scene that help you get into it and focus?

Talk to eachother. I find that's the best way to connect. Even if it's just two minutes, a talking can connect you to them and settle you into their vibe quite quickly.

You could also set up the scene physically- lay out the toys, get yourself into your cuffs, etc.

A lot of subs also use a mantra that they tell themselves to focus and still their minds.

IF he/she wants me to be nice and focused (cuz sometimes it's more intense not to be), then they can talk, or stroke my body. I find just taking 5 minutes at the start of a scene to still the bottom and lead them into my energy is a great start to a scene.

And don't beat yourself up if it doesn't always work. Not all scenes rock. Some scenes just don't work- the vibe is off, the connection is bad, there's too much tension, your ovaries are killing you, whatever. Sometimes it happens and you move on.

A quick hit with His cane usually works for me *grin* Him getting me to kneel works as well.

I usually get everything set up and have the bottom get into a position and just wait for a few minutes. We might talk, touch each other or nothing at all, but taking at least a few minutes at the beginning builds anticipation and gets your mind into the notion that now you're starting this fun, relaxing thing. The mental foreplay is important.




mystictryst -> RE: Scene preparations (11/16/2005 4:24:19 PM)

For me, if I am able to quit focussing on doing everything "right" and just allowing myself to "go with the flow", I am better able to obtain a space where I am able to enjoy what I'm doing... The Dom(Domme) also needs to assist, I think, you in this because you are new and still finding your feet... You need to get yourself there, but the Top needs to help in getting you to relax and focus on what you both wish to get from the session.




BeachBear -> RE: Scene preparations (11/16/2005 5:07:18 PM)

I usually greet my Dommes by kneeling and placing my head at their feet. By the time they reach down and stroke my head and say "rise", I'm in the zone. At the beginning of a new relationship, I explain that it is something that I have always done as a sign of respect. The truth is, while being a sign of respect, it is also something that my first Domme started with me 25 years ago, and I continue as a way of getting my "game face" on.

Hi cravin,

Your question brings up several more. Are you building a relationship with any of these Doms? Do you spend time getting to know each other outside of a scene? Have you shared with them your concerns? What kind of communication is going on between you and the Doms?

Be well,

This is something that i do also. It is almost like a ritual. First i shave completely and then i add Skin So Soft to my bath water. I take the next 10-15 minutes to think about what is to come. I turn over so that both my front and back are softened by the SSS. (It is great stuff for soft skin) The whole time thinking about the time we will spend together. It is a very good way for me to get a good head space.


Peace,
cathy

Hello Cloudz.
Yes, there are two in particular that i am getting to know, both in and apart from our scenes. I have shared my concerns regarding this with the one who has decades of experience in the lifestyle. The other is very new to this all himself, and i have not discussed it with him.
But i also have friends who are Doms/Dommes that i play with and this issue in particular was one i experienced with one of those friends.
And btw... just thought i'd throw this out there... these two Doms ARE aware i am seeing others, have both encouraged me to do so as i learn more about myself, my needs and my desires, and search for the right Dom for me.
thanks all for your posts.

everything's saturation ,or deprivation ,in principle,
if you are saturated, by a stimulus
you must find a bridge ,to, that stimuli, to come ;like something on the way... make a space, and, fill it back, to the object
a toe, to a foot
a leg ,to a shoe
the bridge being whatever's ,inbetween you, and, the actual object you are supposed to focus ,on, and, come, to...
,if you are saturated,and, you don't ever want, to ,become saturated ,with anyone ,or thing ,or you can't come!
you can reinforce the focus ,or stimulus ,so, if you're getting ,into being hurt ,and ,dominated
; you do it ,to yourself ,in your head, and, help the dom. ,by doing it even more ,to yourself first;(self-talk, increasing the degree, of dominance coming , from the ,inside, to help the degree ,of dominance coming, from the ,outside person,)
if you depive yourself ;you come a lot quicker;
which can be a problem, too, if you have, to last longer.
drugs are an option, and, a certain privillage ,if they are recommended,
but ,to focus ,on many doms
you simply have ,to continue,in your place,without any fluctuations ;the dom is in charge,that's all you have,to remember....,not your newspaper ,not the guy next, to you ,not you gotta go ,to the bathroom,stop: whatever you're doing ;concentrate,on the top,or your place.remember what ever's stopping you, from coming, and,making yourself happy ;will ,also stop everyone else, from being happy.
The principle here is,
only, if :
you make yourself happy,
then the,other's are free ,to do the same.

Right from day one of our 5yr relationship Master had me bow naked to Him the minute He arrived, or if the scene was to take place in a hotel room i was to get naked immediately and get into the bow position.
Now He will call to say He will be with me in five mins or whatever and i await Him, at the back of the door in the bow position. Sometimes He will leave me there for five minutes or more, it really focuses my mind, and when He's ready He calls for me to show myself to Him, by which time i'm deep in slave mode.

Just a thought...When I was scene-ing with multiple dominants about two years ago (I was single and playing with casual partners) I often struggled to get into the right headspace.

For me it was the fact that in-between scenes there was no domination in my life. I had to shift from complete independance to submission when a scene started and then shift back again (after some aftercare). It was very difficult for me.

There was also a loyalty issue. The loyalty I gave was conditional during the scene, since outside the scene there was no D/s. It was such a hot and cold thing for me.

Casual play for me is better than no play but it's fraught with frustration and difficulty. I have little trouble with my headspace when I am involved with my dom.

I have no idea if this has anything to do with your issue but it sure was the problem with me.

Cin

Wow. Thank you Cinful.
That is something i hadn't really considered. That may very well be part of the problem, especially since with some of the strictly friends i scene with occasionally, there is a complete lack of D/s with them except when scening.

I also would suppose that various external factors can come into play, can they not?
I have been going thru an emotional time cause this month is the anniverary of the deaths of my mother, my father and my best friend (all different years, but he same month, and big anniversaries: i.e. 25 years since mom died, 5 since dad, and next month is 10 years since my best friend was killed. So perhaps being at a particulary vulnerable time might have had something to do with it?
Also, do you female subs find that your menstrual cycle can affect your ability to get into your headspace for a scene, or that you find you are capable of tolerating less pain just before your cycle?
I wonder what other external factors might be an influence??

i guess for me, i feel a bit different. i don't wish to dom scene with any dom, dick, or sid. i feel that when i'm with a Dominant, He is significant in my life that i am in a different viewpoint. call me naiive or call me al, but that's how it works for me. i put my complete trust in my Dominant or Master and let his control bring me to where i need to be.

Of course, why would you think it wouldn't?

I couldn't allow myself to bottom in scenes at ALL for two months. I tried, I had some truly awesome scenes as a bottom. But it left me empty and wanting to scream in agony because I wasn't THERE, my life and state of being were just in total disarray.

Once things became settled and secure again...I took little leaps when I felt ready for it and am really getting back into bottoming. Not looking to be owned or in a commitment as a submissive, but bottoming I can do again.

This is who you are, so whatever is going on in your life will affect what you do in play.

Actually my pain tolerance is far higher BEFORE I ovulate. It's different for everyone.

Caffeine, exercise, stress, sleep, ANYTHING that affects your sense of being and sense of self will affect how you operate within a scene.
