ORIGINAL: LillyBoPeep A formal tea ceremony is definitely something that requires training -- lots of steps and movements that all have meaning. Interesting stuff. ^_^ Some "high protocol" people incorporate it, or a modified version, into their various rituals. It can be used to obtain a desired outcome, expand a given skill set, or be a fetish in itself - the last is probably the most common, and it's often used to establish a hierarchy, i.e., a teacher student relationship which is technically a D/S power exchange. Beyond fetish, it implies one has some skills to impart, which is not always the case, but it's a legitimate form of play. Training someone without their knowledge is a skill that is difficult to teach, as it requires extreme sensitivity to the subjects mindset, psychology and social psychology in general - see marketing, politics, psy-ops, etc. - most people cannot be induced to do things they don't want to do in that fashion, military training for example, often requires rigorous physical and mental training in order to get people to charge into machine gun fire, or even kill someone, which the average person is simply and sensibly, not willing to do without some conditioning and preparation. And, unless it's something they want to do and enjoy doing, in the end, it won't take - even highly trained military don't go around shooting people in inappropriate circumstances in response to aggressive stimuli, other than a relatively tiny statistical minority, and that is probably not the result of the training itself, but a pre-existing condition.
