subbybunny -> Things to do by yourself to practice submission (9/16/2011 7:09:33 PM)
At the moment I'm in the unenviable position of being alone and somewhat new. I was wondering if anyone had suggestions for things I could do to make myself have those feelings of submitting even when I am alone. Like postures, or tasks I could do myself? I feel silly asking but right now this is all I can come up with.

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?

This may not be 'submitting', but hey...... My friend did a ceremony where she flogged herself as a Master would flog a sub. She completely loved it; found it enlightening. Maybe you could do something like that?

You could always contact an IRS agent, and ask them to audit you. Nothing screams submit, like an IRS audit. Oh wait, no sorry that was misfiled. It should have been under ass fucking. The serious answer: For the service oriented, do some volunteer work for a homeless shelter or food kitchen. Go to your elderly neighbors and offer to do yard work to prepare for winter, housecleaning, run errands. Offer to volunteer at a hospital. There are lots of ways to be of service, and if you prepare yourself mentally for the 'act of service' it can put you in a nice headspace. For the masochist, I'm sure there are some who will show up to offer self-help advice there. I never could get into the whole beat myself thing. Sexually, you can stimulate yourself while fantasizing about what you wish your future dominant would do to you, or make you do. WinD

None of the serious answers would really apply to me. My submission is utterly tied into who I am submitting to.

No, I can see how they wouldn't, in fact they probably wouldn't apply to many (oh so many) submissive type individuals. It isn't uncommon for submission to be an inspired response, not a self-actuated one. Different strokes/different folks really. Personally, I'm single, and none of that would really work for me either. However, I do find fulfillment in service to my family. My grandchildren and my children inspire my service orientation and brings me happiness. When searching, all one can do is ask for advice, take what they can use and leave the rest. When asked, all I hope to do is offer suggestions that may possibly be helpful and do my best to do no harm in the process. Either way, its all good. WinD

You might try some self improvement projects. Read and learn how to serve a formal dinner. Learn to cook some really yummy fancy things. Take a night course to improve your mind. Those things will make you a more desirable submissive when you do find a partner.

Volunteer at a shelter or an old folks home. Do something good for humanity. Then go home, read the unrealistic erotic lit mentioned above and do your thing. [:D]

quote: ORIGINAL: subbybunny I was wondering if anyone had suggestions for things I could do to make myself have those feelings of submitting even when I am alone. Like postures, or tasks I could do myself? As others have stated, it's pretty hard to simulate submission. Doing service projects just isn't the same as serving a Dom/Domme. Tying yourself up isn't the same as being tied up. Flogging yourself isn't the same as being flogged. There are a few things that you can do that are pretty close to the real thing. Wearing a chastity device, or a butt plug are examples. Both feel the same regardless of whether you put them on yourself, or someone else puts them on you. But as someone else said, rather than trying to simulate the feeling of submission, why not try to become a better sub? I think that most subs could benefit from taking a massage class. That's a skill that most Doms/Dommes would enjoy. Good luck in your search. Hopefully, you won't be submitting to yourself for very long.

Take classes...cooking, organizing, tax preparing, gardening, clerical and mechanical skills, etiquette, massage, etc...anything that you think might be helpful or useful when you do have a man in your life. And they'll enrich your life as well.

Think of it as a period of unemployment - you can sit and feel like shit because you can't find what you need, or you can work to make yourself better and in the process improve your chances. In truth, you really are submitting yourself to the person you will eventually be taken by - their pleasure is at the forefront of your mind and you are spending your time in ways which will make their life better. You just don't happen to know who they are yet. Whether this will fulfill your needs or not I have no idea, but it's at least productive.

i think this is a good question. personally, i find anything that strengthens self-discipline would be helpful to your goal. learn something that's always fascinated you. then learn it perfectly.

I would add to the list - do some research. Find out what it is to be a submissive. Read the forums here, maybe buy a book or two. Secondly - research munches in your local area. Contact the organisers, introduce yourself, get out there among the kinksters. Watch how people are interacting with each other. Get a clear perspective on what a D/s relationship actually is (which is usually completely different from the porn definition). Thirdly - practise patience. Sounds trite, I know, but it's damned useful. You're going to have to be patient while you're looking otherwise you'll end up with Mr Right Now instead of Mr Right. And when you're in a relationship, I've found that patience is my friend. I will ask for something. He will consider it. It could take a few minutes, it could take a few weeks before I get my answer. Me getting annoyed...well, let's just say that has no good outcome! Otherwise, just relax and enjoy the ride [:D]

Sure I am subissive whether I am in a relationship or not it is just tat submissive part isnt really active when there is no Dom/me in my life.

I feel silly asking but right now this is all I can come up with. Talk to a few of the other subs/slaves in your general area and ask for refs to Doms they trust to follow limits. Then drop the Dom(s) a note asking if they would agree to a bondage scene within your stated limits. That would provide you bondage and not go any further than you are comfortable with. And who knows, you might just find the perfect Dom/Master for longer term. Good luck with the searching

I'm not a very submissive person, unless I come across someone that I view as more alpha than I am. If you don't have someone to submit to, you're not submitting. While the serious suggestions are good for self improvement, they're not about submitting.

I have something to add on the subject of volunteering that may be pertinent since it comes up on the boards every so often. My classmates and I had to find a place to volunteer a certain amount of hours for school, and then do up a presentation about our volunteer opportunity. Seems simple enough on the face of it but it's getting harder to find places that will take your help. In order to go out and give people your time, depending on the place, you have to be willing to prove yourself quite thoroughly as someone they want to be around their organization. The place that finally accepted me wanted me to fill out 13 pages of forms, have a TB test, did a background check on me, and gave me a urine test for drugs/alcohol. They also gave me a lanyard with a photo ID to wear on the grounds. This isn't a prison, it's an assisted living facility for the elderly. Some of the schools wanted all that plus fingerprinting. Many places wanted 30- 40 hours of training to occur before ever getting to volunteer as well. I understand the precautions, but it's a bit amazing when you aren't prepared for it. Some places won't even take you if you won't do a certain amount of time with them because they put in so much time and money with the vetting/training process. Just wanted to throw that out there in case the OP or anyone else was thinking of looking to volunteer so they'd realistically know what type of commitment it took and how hard it was to find a placement. I worked for weeks to find mine. I like the idea and always have of making yourself the best you that you can be. The more you have to offer someone the more valuable you are. I don't think it's necessarily a submissive exercise, but I can't really say I feel submissive outside of my relationship either. I do think that the more you bring to the table, the more enjoyment you yourself get out of your own life and the more you have to offer someone. You also have more joy and peace to give from the confidence and achievement you obtain from educating yourself. Sorry I don't have more of what you might be looking for OP, but I do think working on your inner self is the way to go.

I don't think you can practise submission. Submission to me is a verb - as in, it's an action or a reaction to another. Its really not a solo act. Perhaps you can set yourself to reading back-threads on cm so you avoid the most common issues for newbie subs - eg. sub frenzy, con artist dominants, first meetings - and so on. Anyway, good luck with your search for Mr/Mrs Right. Edited to add - just read your profile, and you might add something a bit more personal about yourself - like, what you are looking for, who you are and what you have to offer. You could read some profiles to see what you like and don't like.
