ORIGINAL: myotherself I'm in an M/s relationship with a punishment dynamic. We've been together over 3 years now and will (hopefully) be spending the rest of our lives together. Here's how we did it. 1. We met up for coffee, talked for 2 hours about our lives, jobs, hobbies, family, friends. Enjoyed it so much we did it again. 2. Decided to make a start at a relationship. Had a fully vanilla relationship for several months, with all the dating, hand-holding and silliness that goes with that. 3. Talked about what we wanted out of lives, relationships and each other. Figured we had a pretty good fit, so started adding in small amounts of D/s, gradually over the period of about a year. 4. Talked again about what we'd achieved and where we wanted to go. Defined what we both thought M/s meant, and came to a broad agreement that this was the way we wanted to go. This was about 18 months into the relationship. 5. Carried on much as we had been in point (4), except I was not allowed to say 'no' unless there was a damn good reason, and he started to control more of the relationship. There was no 'magic formula', just two people who liked what they saw and took a slow, steady course towards an M/s relationship. I wasn't attracted by any aura of dominance, just his natural way of being. I have met many 'domly doms' with the swagger and air of superiority, and thought most of them were total tits. The rest just didn't resonate with my particular brand of submission. Putting on an act to attract a partner is doomed to failure. Eventually keeping up the act will become exhausting and eventually it will fail, leaving 'you'. But if you start with 'you', then you can't really fuck up too badly, can you? This was pretty much the specific advice i was looking for. Thanks. Im not putting on an act, but doesnt mean im not willing to compromise alittle. And i agree, take it slow. The longer it takes for the relationship to build up, the longer it will last,
