ORIGINAL: leadership527 In general, when you are with a new partner, you have to assume that your ESP pills are maybe not going to work at maximum efficiency. Therefor, old fashioned communication works out as a pretty solid plan B. For my wife and I, we're starting to explore SM. Given that everyone experiences sensations differently, how could I have any idea what was going on in her head without getting some feedback. Accordingly, I told her something like... "I'm going to spank your ass. When it transitions from sensation play to pain, I want you to say 'ouch'. I'm not going to stop then. You will obey me and allow me to continue as I wish past that point." (always, with us, there is an over-riding.... 'unless I'm being stupid' disclaimer). Now, given a few sessions like this, I expect I'll get calibrated and we can dispense with the now unnecessary communication. Well said. With the Partner, I'm pretty much expected to -tell- him how I feel. Given that he's on top, I don't really have the option to say "oh, I'd rather not talk about that." I'm always surprised by how many d-types come in and say "I don't know what s/he wants!" Ask. It's your right to be answered, honestly and fully. You're not expected to know your partner's mind immediatly, nor to know the weird twists and turns that might come over time, and are more than allowed to expect her to -tell- you what she wants and what she likes. I know for a lot of s-types it's hard, because we feel as though if we say what we want, we're somehow trying to tell our d-types what to do, that by articulating our desires we're taking power out of their hands. On a gut level, I feel that way too. But it comes down to this for me--the Owner wants me to talk to him. He -want-s me to tell him what I like, and what would be enjoyable for me. Were I to hold back, because I felt bad, I'd be denying him something he wanted.
