ORIGINAL: rhymeswithcupid It isn't bratty to be clear about your needs, especially in the beginning of a relationship. The thing is though, in my experience at least, if a man is serious about a woman, he'll figure his shit out for himself. It shouldn't be your responsibility to "assist in his education" ... So, if you explained to him that you *need* whips, electrical play, bondage, etc then its up to HIM to decide whether or not to educate himself in those techniques. If he asks your advice, point him in the right direction but don't make the mistake of taking the lead. Topping from the bottom doesn't generally lead to a yummy power exchange down the line. You also expressed an addiction to a certain level of sexuality because thats what your previous dom did with you. Things might go better if you didn't try to compare new dom to old dom. You need to have moved on completely from your past relationship before you try to get into another one. Patience is key in any relationship but you're talking about a new dom who has a lot to learn. Your old dom wasn't born knowing all the things he knew. Even if this guy is a so-called "natural dom", it doesn't mean he's inherently skilled. I was born with a high degree of intelligence but I still had to go to school. Ask yourself, do you want to be with this man for himself or for his ability to wield a whip? Don't be afraid to be honest with yourself. If it is about a dom's skills with toys and techniques, maybe you need to hold out for someone with more experience. Some of the games we play can be dangerous, even life threatening and pushing a newbie to jump through hoops to satisfy your sexual appetite may not be bratty but its certainly unfair to him and to you. I'm pretty sure someone else will post with a more eloquent (and frankly better) answer but these are my two cents worth. ^^^ This My first D/s relationship grew out of an existing relationship. As we got closer we both expressed our long time desire to explore and get in touch with a side of ourselves (Him D and me s). I had already begun reading and talking with a couple of experienced submissives. I wondered what he would do, but I just let him have the reins. He ran with it, reading, talking, trying things, communicating....he took it very seriously. I think if a man really wants to learn this lifestyle (or a woman), they will take responsibility for their learning. I think expressing your needs and then watching to see what he does is a good way to start. Oops - I just realized that this is ask a MASTER. I'll be glad to delete this if needed.
