i'm not exactly having a hard time with this, but my mentor is coming this Thursday, and i'm going to ask that he punish me. Why, i have no clue. i don't know what i did to be punished, and he never brought the subject up, so i'm confused on why i'm needing to ask for it. It's one of those where you know you didn't do anything wrong, but subconsciously you did. i've been thinking over the past week of what i could have done to be in the wrong, but can not find anything and it's frustrating [:****]. Any suggestions/advice on what i should do? I think you need some serious introspection. This is not a place you want to 'wing' it in my opinion. You should be fairly clear on a number of things, including but not limited to: *what your BDSM orientation is (among them being bottom/Top, sub/Dom, slave/Master, Switch... there are of course sub classes) *what you are really looking for- some people want a 24/7 power exchange, and some people are just happy to make public or private play dates. *are you interested in getting active in your local scene? Do you want to be part of your local organization(s)? Are you interested in having educational opportunites? Are you interested in having a place that throws parties? *Besides the 'kinks' list, have you thought about what situations you desire and which situations you would not/could not be involved in, under any circumstances? While bloodplay might be a hard limit, have you thought about Poly situations vs. mono situations and the like? I think these questions are as important as the 'kinks list' These are just some of the questions I would encourage you to ponder if you haven't already. Your struggle with the punishment question makes me wonder if you'd really done any serious introspection, which again, I encourage folks to do. PL
