On occasion, I have received cmail that asks ~~
"do you need training in HOW to be submissive?"

I never get a response when I respond with, "how does one train someone to be submissive?"

I'm not so much of a mind reader, so let's change the focus from what they think to what I think.

Keeping in mind that you're asking Me specifically about a submissive, and D/s rather than M/s, I'm not particularly going to expect someone with a leather background. Leather really is a culture within a culture of wiitwd. Protocol isn't something that most people learn by osmosis from going to their local munch. Not high protocol, at any rate. On top of that are specific skills, such as Hib mentioned. Leather care is a big one with Me and so is formal service. There are plenty of kinky people out there who have never been to a high protocol dinner, much less served at one.

I'm not quite sure of what the issue is in using a term that is common to the business world. Someone can kick about if they'd like about how it's not a job, but a relationship. Yet within that relationship (in this case a dynamic) there really is more to it for some of us than just emotional ties. There are skill sets involved and there is more material to learn than someone is going to pick up from their experience from just getting to know a Dominant.

AS,

Now we are getting someplace.......it is not a magical,or mystical thing................... simply teaching by exposure!

Training is absolutely necessary, from the Dominant that is to be served.

I suspect that most training is for the Dominant to get his jollies.

CP, perhaps you might explain just what you view as a D/s training experience that would not cross over into the "vanilla" world. Beyond the kink, i cant think of a single thing.

Yes. I thought one either is submissive or is not.....you either are or you aren't
