Using FR (after reading the OP) I have come to believe that "training", the way most use it, is pretty much as you've stated; "breaking" someone in order to get sex-on-demand. It's bunk. While there are always things to learn about partners, I wouldn't call it "training". I have had a few public meetings with a young lady, here, locally. Last night, we were talking and she said something that really just kind of struck me the wrong way. I explained how I felt about what she said and we moved on. Later on, I wanted to sort of apologize for coming off as harshly as I may have. Her response was: "Michael, you didn't like what I said. It won't happen again." Did I "train" her? Well ... I guess that's a word. What I think I did was I let her know that that particular phrase just struck me the wrong way and probably always would. I shared about myself with her. She certainly did learn something about me but, I wasn't holding a whip, when I said it. I let another human being know that their words had an effect on me. I opened up. I was honest. It worked, very nicely (We're seeing each other, again, today). I find "training" to be useless because it procedes from a negative connotation and just goes downhill from there. I constantly tell people to take time to get to know people before you get anywhere near any kind of heavy-duty involvement. I've seen this young lady 4 times and we've never been inside either's homes. Suffice it to say; there's been no sexual contact and no declarations of undying love. We enjoy spending time together and we're getting to know each other. We're in "training" LOL Peace and comfort, Michael
