ORIGINAL: SubOnlyForHim The basics? Certain things that every sub/slave should or should not do? Or that likely every Master will appreciate? This one would truly like input on this subject as it has just been brought to my attention that apparently it is something this one is lacking in...appropriate body language. Body Language is more than just doing things for your Dominant. It's more than just the protocol posturing that comes with submissive behavior. It is non-verbal communication, and you can say a lot without actually speaking a word to someone. Movie/TV actors and theatrical performers utilize this skill to convey an obvious message when they are doing their craft. Even those mimes rely on non-verbal communication (resisting the urge to smack now...), and they totally rely on this form of communication. We use body language everyday in our lives and some of don't know we are using it to certain extents. An example of this is when two people are talking and one of them is listening with both arms crossed, and perhaps a slightly strained look on their face. Their body language is saying: "I'm not comfortable with what is being said here". The arms folded, say that the person is "closed", and the face tells it all by confirming the closed posture. When one person is confronted with a lie, the liar may speak controlled, but the face-muscles will undoubtedly contract, and there might be a nervous twitch, and the eyes may look straight ahead to the person confronting. More applicable to BDSM, say a Dominant tells you to do something, and instead of doing it straightforwardly, you hesitate...drop your shoulders slightly and sigh...(optional eye rolling). What does that say to the Dominant?
