DMFParadox -> RE: Switch -male - becoming more submissive (11/2/2008 12:21:36 AM)

MasterFireMaam has nailed it. If you're having problems in a relationship, if the girls don't seem to have confidence in mastering you, then the only factor you really have control over is you. Change your behavior. Make yourself act more submissive, do your level best to help the girl get into a dominant frame of mind. Once you've got her there and comfortable, then you can start pushing your limits. Basically, it's like this. It is NOT the dominant partner's responsibility to figure out what will make you happy; no one, no matter how experienced, is a mind reader and can instantly divine what you need. So if you feel like you're 'topping from the bottom' by training a girl--a switch, no less--to feel comfortable in dominating you, or if you feel robbed by the experience, you're wrong. If you feel that it's their job to put you in your place, you're wrong. At least, at first. Once you've clearly demonstrated what your place is, by actions and words, then you can start asking for that from your partner. You know what I mean? The corollary to that is that it's not the sub's job to figure out what makes the Dom happy, btw. I try to live by that, and ask up front for what I like, and act in a way that's in keeping with what I like. I do change that to adjust for what the sub likes; more demanding, more emotional, less emotional, whatever. But I keep a basic script and stick to it for the most part. I imagine that kind of consistency is more difficult for a switch, but it's possible. Don't be afraid that you're locking yourself into a role that you won't want later, either; as long as you're aware and in conscious control of the process, by assuming a role you're giving yourself the experience needed to understand more of what your preferences really are, and if you communicate that clearly to your partner, you'll find that you will likely get what you ask for, even as what you're asking for changes and matures. Cheers
