ORIGINAL: aleneb since I am only into him for the past 4 weeks, we only meet 2x wk, daily assignments and communication. I have not been given permission to ask personal physical questions yet - should I ask when I can ask such a personal question and wait for his permission. Maybe it's because I am a scientist first, all other facets of my personality second, but I don't understand this type of dynamic or mindset (in the vanilla world or BDSM). I ask questions about everything that interests me, confuses me, or even just catches my attention. Questions are essential to communication and understanding, and communication and understanding are essential to relationships functioning well. In dynamics that have been around for a long time, I can see how some power exchange couples could put aside questions or have only certain times when they're allowed; those people have amassed a lot of trust and understanding over the years they've been together, so questions may not be necessary for them to know what the other is thinking or to trust the other's judgment. But I don't think that applies so well to a relationship that's only existed for a month, and by the OP's description, seems to revolve around physical activities. aleneb: To be fair, you did specify "personal physical questions" so I don't want to assume that means "all questions"--if he's just quirky about questions regarding his body, ok, I can see that. But if it's more than that, you might want to rethink things a bit. If he's expecting you to blindly trust him in all things because he's a d-type and you're an s-type...that can be a dangerous road to travel. Edited to change some weird formatting.
