avena -> RE: Getting attached in a Training relationship only (12/5/2010 10:05:28 AM)

This thread caught my attention, not because i'm in a training 'only' relationship, but because i am in training. ~s~ Aside from the whole 'train vs teach' debate, brought up in another thread someone linked in this one, i'm quite happy with the way our relationship is progressing. What i really wanted to comment on, though, is sunshine's comment about seeking a mentor, preferably a strong submissive whom you can go to with questions, concerns, fears, etc. i agree with this completely, and have, at various points in my past, leaned heavily on several different submissive friends, both male and female, as i struggled along my own path. i wanted to add, however, that it needn't be just submissives that you speak to in regards to mentorship. i have several wonderful Dom friends who have been very supportive of me, and have patiently answered endless questions and provided me with a great deal of information over the years. i still drive them crazy with my endless need to examine things in detail. ~l~ There are plenty of people out there who are willing to offer support, advice, and information, without requiring anything in return. D was pleasantly surprised that i already knew several of the common kneeling and prone positions, thanks to a dominant friend who head helped me work on them, via explanations, drawings, and eventually, video chat.
