DeviantDestiny25 -> Threatening or encouraging? (12/13/2008 10:03:46 AM)
There has been a lot of discussion about whether or not you should threaten to dismiss a submissive permenantly and tell them that nobody else will ever accept them as they are as a means of encouragement. I am not so sure whether this is a good idea...it has been suggested to me but I just dont know...as submissives how would you feel if a mistress was to threaten you with that? [sm=thanks.gif]

I call that bullying and emotional manipulation....... not encouragement. [>:] And I wouldn't be in a relationship with someone who did that.

I'd call you an abusive loser and walk. Just because someone isn't compatible with you doesn't mean they won't be a perfect partner for someone else. If you can't figure out to communicate your desires well enough to determine compatibility before getting into the relationship, that's your fault as well as the sub's. If the only way you know to motivate someone is threaten them, then don't be surprised if they give up trying. Would you enjoy working for someone who couldn't teach you the job and threatened to fire you every day? Then why should anyone else be motivated by this? Except of course be motivated to get out of the situation and fast.

I see that as nothing more than abuse, tearing someone down and trying to break them. I could not respect that.

DeviantDestiny25 -> RE: Threatening or encouraging? (12/13/2008 10:09:59 AM)
Not saying I have actually DONE that it has been SUGGESTED to me as a means of control...thought I would ask the opinion of those in the know...

Lockit -> RE: Threatening or encouraging? (12/13/2008 10:11:04 AM)
I'd find another to suggest things to me.

sorry for breathing...thought this was a discussion forum

You asked a question, and you got a range of answers. You don't have to like them, but as you noted yourself, this is a public forum after all.

I am not sure how you could see that I did or that I was saying in any way that you shouldn't breath or post. You asked a question and a valid one and I answered it as I see things. You can take what I say for what it is worth to you... as it seems... not much. But anyone suggesting I emotionally beat up my submissive is not one I would listen to or give much credit to.

Can only agree, that I would not put up with it either. Accepting a Dom has also to do with being able to trust and building up trust. I was once, well twice, involved with a guy on here who came with a similar approach to me. He had messed up moving on and tried to put the blame on me and then tried to tell me I would have to loose so-and-so much weight within 6 months and then he will consider to give me another chance...despite the fact that he had messed it up and not me I then dumped him for good, as i couldnt take him seriously. How stupid did he think I would be to go for something like that...or with other words, how important does he thinks he is. He continued to pop up at times, but this guy is toasted...I am looking for a Master and not for psychopath or an abuser...there is a fine difference. I would never ever put up with a dom who thinks it is a great way to put people down, as that is just way out of order. Now I seem to have found my Master on here and with him I lost 25lbs since summer and not with being abusive or putting me down, but with encouragement and praise instead...as he knows I can slack off at times when I am stuck for a while...nevertheless, I do appreciate his supportive side a lot, and that might lead now to accepting his collar on 31st December...because even when he is a dom, and quite a sadistic one too, I still need a Master who is able to show his human side as well at times...and therefore thats the key for me.

Have you any suggestions of what does work?

Lockit -> RE: Threatening or encouraging? (12/13/2008 10:42:07 AM)
Inspire rather than require. It isn't in what you order, but in how you live that inspires someone to pay attention.

LuckyAlbatross -> RE: Threatening or encouraging? (12/13/2008 10:58:56 AM)
There's control from security (dominance) and control from insecurity (domineering and abusive). Which do you want?

For sub who is into humiliation, verbal abuse and torment, Im sure it would thrill them-otherwise, personally--I find it abusive and childish.

[sm=thanks.gif] I would think my owner wasn't being encouraging but emotional abusive. That isn't something I value in an owner and it isn't something that inspires me to submit to them. It inspires the direct opposite in fact.

Why would any one say that to someone? How can you encourage someone with such a negative statement?

quote: ORIGINAL: DeviantDestiny25 Have you any suggestions of what does work? There are dozens of books out there that tell you how to be a good manager. Read them. Don't demand things if the sub can't do it. Do be able to teach what you want done. Do expect that unless something is done every single day for a month straight, it will not become a habit. So if you see someone once a week, expect them not to get it right for six months minimum, since everyday they do it differently and do it your way only once a week. If you can't teach the skill, find and pay for a professional to teach it. You want him to become a Master Gardener? Then you need to find the classes and make sure he can fit it into his life. And give him a learning curve. Beyond that, be someone worth doing things for. That means you keep your word every single time and you don't make his life needlessly difficult just to indulge your own whim. You don't endanger his job. You don't keep him up all night and expect him to drive safely the next day. You don't play games with someone's health, happiness, family or finances.

I would call that emotional blackmail/abuse. Nothing remotely encouraging at all in that.
