VaguelyCurious -> Expectation vs Reality (1/29/2010 2:27:42 PM)
My first proper D/s experience was straight in the deep end, as a sub, and one of the things I wasn't prepared for was quite how much it was going to hurt (which sounds unbearably stupid looking back, I know). The first time I topped I wasn't at all expecting the chemical rush that came with being in charge, so I was in for quite a surprise... So I was wondering how closely what you were expecting matched up to what you got, both when you first came to D/s in general, and when you tried more specific kinks? Was stuff more intense? Not as scary? Unexpectedly hilarious? Everything you'd ever hoped for or everything it had never occurred to you to want? Sorry if any of the above sounds cheesy, but I do seriously want to know. [:)]

[:)] All of the above bolded. Most things were more intense, not as scary, sometimes funny and most of the time, better than I expected. With my last situation, I went further than I ever dreamed of, even though I had wanted the things were doing, I had not thought I would like them, but I did. I also tried things I don't need to do again, once was enough.

Wax. He was the one who wanted to do it, never had. I was meh about it but took it for him. Funny enough, after doing it he was meh and I was "can we do that again, huh, can we?" Total opposite of what we expected going in.

My first was a vanilla twist affair that became a top and bottom kind of thing. Sometimes it was a rush, sometimes it was a disappointment, and sometimes it was hilarious. (Proper positioning of the sub while tying her up in the shower is crucial- half drowned is so not erotic). Overall, it was an educational and fun time. And i learned that just like int he vanilla world, sometimes it best to let go of expectations, because reality rarely can compare.

RumpusParable -> RE: Expectation vs Reality (1/29/2010 7:31:45 PM)
I recently peed on someone for the first time... I expected it to be... something... either nervous or fun or sexy or embarassing or SOMETHING. Instead it was "meh". I could do it again, I could not, I don't really care.

osf -> RE: Expectation vs Reality (1/29/2010 7:48:23 PM)

I did things he told me to do, such as applying nipple clamps. I became so aroused by it and so overcome by the interaction I went into deep subspace sitting in my room, him on the phone... he never tried this again with me because he did not expect it, and I did not know what subspace even was. We waited until we were together before he sent me there again... and because of the solo experience I had, I was prepared for what happened between us.

Hi. Less expectation means less disappointment. I like seeing where things lead and I think it's important for a sub to try that too. Follow the lead of the domme/dom and be pleasantly surprised. Live spontaneous and have FUN!!

littlewonder -> RE: Expectation vs Reality (1/29/2010 8:10:01 PM)
It was actually more disappointing more than anything else. I expected "doms" to be actually dominant personalities, to have integrity, honesty, want to actually be a leader while his partner followed. What I found instead was just as bunch of men looking for easy sex. Thus I stayed single for a very long time until the past few years. <and I'm glad I did>

chiaThePet -> RE: Expectation vs Reality (1/29/2010 8:22:57 PM)
When I was younger, the fear of what they would bring in the darkness I could liken to a tongue of fire licking every trembling inch of my skin. Now they come and I laugh, I laugh. Then I cry. chia* (the pet)

CNJDom -> RE: Expectation vs Reality (1/29/2010 8:36:37 PM)
I can safely say I was not expecting or fantasizing or even planning my first D/s experience: it just happened. It's not unlike when you stumble upon that first moment when you found out your body held a surprise that made you feel like someone turned on the hyper joy switch in you and you had your first stirs of sexual inkling or that first orgasm... it just happened and you had to catch up with yourself to figure out what had just happened. There have been times years later that I was disappointed when I was played and due to things not going as I wanted, but for the most part, I keep an open mind on how things are going to go. Usually I'm just amazed until I figure it out and then I'm proud and get that rush and even sometimes the illusive Dom-space and that feeling is wonderful. Usually when I picture what I want to happen, I can usually maneuver a pleasant outcome.

pyroaquatic -> RE: Expectation vs Reality (1/29/2010 9:53:03 PM)
What is there to expect? Like others I do not expect anything and I let the real happen. Cups of tea-or cups of not tea-are also applicable. what

The first person I met when I really wanted to try WIITWD out for size told me to approach this with high hopes and low expectations. Of course, having done this, I could be nothing other than pleasantly surprised. - LA

18 and having had twisted fantasies forever, I met a girl who was 26. She was blond, bi and had ping pong paddles and no table. I have an inquiring mind. Questions were asked, interesting results followed. The experience was radically unlike anything I had imagined. Not better, not worse, but infinitely and immensely real. The fantasy had never included her sweating, or the smell of her juice, or the way her eyes rolled back in her head and her breath came in great jagged gasps. It had also not included her warmth, the tenderness that can occur in even the wildest scene, the way my heart surged when she acquisced, or the tremendous mental rush that comes with absolutely focusing all of my being into another soul. In the end, I got lucky. She had much experience, I have a wicked and invented mind that likes to look, listen, learn, do. Everything I know about being a dominant I was taught by slaves and submissive, amazing women to whom I am forever grateful.

I met a woman via a contact magazine in 1971 or thereabouts. It was my first time and she was full on. I was expecting spanking and whipping. I didn't expect to be stretched on a rack, injected in the scrotum and have oil of cloves squirted down my urethra before being wired for some painful electro play. It was agony and I didn't enjoy it at all. It was my fault as I'd failed to correctly negotiate the scene. I persevered with the contact mags and after a while came upon people who were a better fit.

ResidentSadist -> RE: Expectation vs Reality (1/30/2010 12:37:21 AM)
My introduction to the lifestyle was void of all that delicious anticipatory energy. From the ages of 13 to 15 years old, I was employed and went to school. I also discovered sex, love, passion and the lifestyle. I had met an older bisexual swinger who shared me with her kinky female lovers. They introduced me to a variety of light BDSM like bondage, electro play, blindfolds and fantasy role play as well as good old fashioned kink like watersports and it was quite spontaneous. I didn’t have time for any expectations. It was more like, “this is my girlfriend suzy. If you spank her lik ethis, it makes her pussy wet”. I discovered the emotional side of BDSM with a girl named danita (click for story), in a bizarre situation involving the practice of hypnosis from ages of 15 to 17. Despite the mild leather sex play the swingers had introduced me to, this was what I consider my first BDSM experience. It was my dominance and a little sadism emerging and exploring. Again, I had no prior expectations. The first public BDSM scene I witnessed was a gay boy tied to a cross and they cut a slit in his nut sack and inflated it with a straw. Now that was something I didn’t expect and it exceeded my expectations for a public bar.

lally2 -> RE: Expectation vs Reality (1/30/2010 5:38:10 AM)
the thing about pain is that noone can remember what it feels like until it starts happening. so for me that 'surprise' element never goes away. so in answer to youre question it was way more than i expected to 'feel' but because it was in context with 'fun' and sex it ended up feeling far more enjoyable. if id just been beaten without the aspect of submission and wanting to please it would have probably just been god awful pain. its hard to measure, now i come to think of it. it must have worked out though, cos im still here [:)]

kiwisub12 -> RE: Expectation vs Reality (1/30/2010 7:18:35 AM)
I had virtually no expectations when i met my Sir - my first bdsm experience - and he proceeded to demonstrate what it could be. The neat thing about having little idea of what real time can be , is that everything is a surprise. For me the reality is a way to live that makes me happy, and content and stress-free (no migraines in 4 years!), with a man who is so easy to live with! Bliss!!!!!!!

quote: ORIGINAL: VaguelyCurious So I was wondering how closely what you were expecting matched up to what you got, both when you first came to D/s in general, and when you tried more specific kinks? My first experience with impact play came during my first sexual relationship. We'd been out on the lake all day, and when we got home, he wanted to sleep and I wanted to have sex. After a lot of pestering I got what I'd asked for. Then as I relaxed during the sex I fell asleep and apparently let out an unladylike snore. So he snatched me up, turned me over his knee, and started beating my ass. While I was outraged at first, it didn't take long before he was hard and I was lit up like a firecracker, and so was my journey into BDSM and D/s begun. The only "expectation" I had had going in was that it was totally wrong for someone to hit their partner, and during the experience I had this dawning revelation that context matters. I still believe it's wrong to hit your partner, unless there is consent involved. But wow, what I didn't expect was that it would be so much fun! The thing about any type of specific kink technique that I have noticed is that if you go in with huge fantasy-fueled expectations, the reality can be a big letdown. That's because the sex inside your head is always better than what happens outside it. Which is why having a dominant who can "get into your head" and make you have the mental component with the physical component is so very, very satisfying. I would think that dominants would have a harder time adopting to kinks that don't engage their brain, because servicing a sub's kink when it does nothing for you wouldn't bring that mental component. Of course, the dominant may be getting other things in this situation - rather than the mental engagement with the kink being practiced, the sub's helplessness, or pleasure, or pain, etc. may be rocking the dominant's world separate from the specific technique being employed. The cat may not like the flavor of mouse, but sure does enjoy chasing the terrified critter.
