I will take this opportunity to give My two cents worth. Having been in this erotic and exotic lifestyle for over 38 years, owned a slave for 7 of those, and married to My submissive for 23, I do know just a bit about submissiveness. All subs, and slave need to constantly practice their craft, wheather being with a Master, or out on their own. There is nothing more disheartning, than finding a perfectly acceptable self proclaimed submissive, then finding out she has not honed her personal submissive skills, because she was waiting for just the right Dominant ot Master to enter her life, to help bring it out of her. If indeed it is in there just waiting to surface, Hell bring it out on your own. Do your absolute best to make yourself as attractive as possible, in all aspects that interest you. Read like a sponge,master the fine traits that make a submissive valuable.ie; cooking, learn how to manage your expenses, hone the craft of efficient time management, ( house cleaning, time for friends and family) and personal time . Personal time for a submissive is vitally important. If you wish to loose those few extra pounds, or gain a few, take the time to make yourself the best that you feel you can. It will make you feel better inside, and that projection will be brought foreward. Being a good submissive is being proud of "who" and 'what' you are. Who you are is the most important, it shows that you are well rounded as an individual, and individuality is what sets you apart from other subs, and what you have to offer as an individual. What you are is submissive, and that is always a lifelong project. I have been in this lifestyle long enough to know, that this is the same for a good Master. He does not wait for a submissive to gain control of His own surroundings. He uses His talents to the best of His ability, and never stops working on His weakness's. As for Doms, well there seems to be a rash of guys with a $20 crop that think they are now insta dom, so I'll let them fend for themselves.

Things that should never be needlepointed on a pillow:

"all subs and slaves need to constantly practice the craft of their submission"

"self proclaimed submissives who need to hone their personal submissive skills"

And I agree, there is a rash of self proclaimed Doms who like to pontificate on their idealized version of what they assume all submissive women should or should not be.

As for the OP, you do not need to practice submission. You just need to live your life, in all it's facets.

how about purchasing a chastity cage, locking yourself into it and have someone hold the key or ask them to mail it back on a certain date.

There is service, and then there is selfless service, called Karma Yoga in the yogic tradition.

This thread reminds me of when I was a volunteer at the Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health in the Berkshire Mountains of Massachusetts. It was August, and I had been assigned the task of weeding the sidewalk cracks. I was squatting down, hating every minute of it, when a guest walking by stopped, touched my back lightly and whispered, "Thank you." I got chills.

Volunteering at Kripalu isn't truly selfless, as there are tangible benefits, starting with yoga and up to room, board and a stipend (when I was there in 2001.)

If what you need is the imposed structure, someone demanding that you do your best, you can actually set it up so that you give yourself those tasks. Instead of saying "I need to go to the gym more, tell yourself that if you don't get on the treadmill three times a week for half an hour, then you can't watch tv on gym nights."

It won't feed submission but it does help you feel less out of control. I

If you're talking about endorphin play, then heavy exercise. They don't call it runner's high for no reason.

Personally, I dont view any of that as "honing my submissive skills". Those things I do for myself. I could meet a man who prefers to cook, so classes I take would be wasted... except that they pleased me to take them.

I may hope those skills you mention are pleasing to a man... but I wouldnt bank on it. Every man, as it has been my experience, has his own mind set on what he wants and doesnt want in his future submissive. These things you mention are important to you. The next guy may consider a submissive who is bi-lingual is more important than one who can cook.

A submissive shouldnt "train" herself in areas she hopes a man finds pleasing. She should expand her world in areas she enjoys, and then wait for a man who enjoys who she is.

Try Virtual Master & Slave Control Software or reading some of the slave training books found in the -=BDSM Book List=-
You can also practice with Obey The Kitten (hope you like beer).
...or try to find the new location for the Subservient Chicken and follow by example.

Read lots of rediculous erotica that is totally unrealistic but totally HOT!

I have no solid answer for this one, it's hard to in essence 'submit' when you haven't got someone to submit -to-, and it depends which aspect of the 'feelings' you're looking for, the arousal, or just the need to rub your face all over someone's boot?


become a practicing roman catholic. hey-OH

for my unowned self, i take notice when service may be needed, more like random acts of kindness... i love domestic service, so when visiting friends, i do laundry, cook, just make myself useful. Also in the mean time, i stay in touch with the local community, and read a lot of articles... just keep busy in a forward direction... if you are "good" for yourself, you will be good for an owner..with some tweaking of course because everyone is so very different!

Cheers!

Dice play might work. get some 6 sided dice & write a list of things you might like/dislike/hate doing & throw the dice. Whatever comes up you do.

my Master hasn't been around too much lately due to getting a new job. Seeing this, him and i have made out a list of rules for me to fallow even when he is not present to monitor them ( ie; room has picked up and tidy, there are no dishes in the sink and the living room is clear before i go to sleep and due to the coming Holidays, water the Christmas tree once a day, ect. ) Even the tiniest things like that let me know that i am still a submissive and i still am his to obey. Try making a list of your own; things that have to get done daily or even weekly in your household or life in general.

I Think, OP, that you have to consider yourself an investment. You can not design yourself to be pleasing to a man. You have to invest in yourself, and the betterment of yourself. If you have interest in arts, then study art, likewise for any other realm of things that interest you. The best relationship is going to come from your having found someone who suits you in all aspects of your life, not just the kinky ones.
If you align yourself with the things that you love, if you take time to educate yourself, inundate yourself, and completely surround yourself with the things that you find interesting, then you will learn more about them, more about yourself, and eventually the person you want to meet will be there.

Most importantly, you should be learning yourself. You should be thinking about who and what you want to be as a person. You can not give a gift to a person if you do not know the person or the gift. Journal, and if you don't know what to write about, join a site like live journal that offers writers block prompts, or look at all of the zillions of posts on these boards for subjects that you want to know about. (There seriously is a post for just about everything.) Use these things to help you find out what parts of your body, mind and soul you want to put into this, or what areas you would like to explore.

I agree... Disciplining yourself and gaining skills is the way to be a good sub. or Dom for that matter.
