I have a ten yr. old girl in the house so rituals have to be incorporated carefully... Greeting ritual - When cubby and I see each other after we have been separated by errands, sleep, work, etc, he gently takes my right hand, turns it palm up and plants a kiss on the palm. Sometimes things are rushed and it's a simple peck, other times he maintains eye contact, or kisses a little longer to recall both his mind and mine to the dynamics of our relationship. Yet other times, he's feeling seductive or playful and will gently "nip" the pad at the base of my thumb to alert me to his mood. If he kisses me "Gomez and Morticia" style I just melt... LOL Money - When cubs earns money in any way, he comes to me, kneels, holds up both hands cradling the money, check, etc. He lightly kisses it and then holds it forward and offers it to me with some comment about giving me the fruits of his labor. It varies because we don't believe in scripted responses. Hair - Cubby has this instant hatred of anyone pulling his hair. He tenses up and is ready to swing. I noted his reaction very soon into our relationship, and stopped pulling his hair almost totally. A few years ago, he confessed that when "I" pull his hair, yes, he does still react, but then almost instantly he feels this backlash of submission and he relaxes. It puts him into a "zone" BECAUSE he hates it, and he can offer something he wouldn't submit to with anyone else on the planet. For cubs, giving something he enjoy anyway isn't "submission" he truly feels his slavehood when he's doing/accepting something he hates because I am the one in control. Nowadays, if I'm wanting to do a rough and ready scene (as opposed to a sensual one) I grab his hair and let him mentally readjust... and I don't feel uncomfy doing it anymore. We have literally dozens, but they are so "hidden" because of the child that it would take ten pages to explain the significance. We do have a lot of them even if no one sees and understand them... it's like a secret language that only he and I know.
