There is a related topic the mistress' forum regarding dealing with SAMs that you might want to check out. You two are still working on your personal dynamic together. I suppose the first question is, does your top enjoy it when you act like a smart-ass? Some do, some don't. If he does, make it a part of your game, part of your ritual. Establish that this is your signal that you want to be tied up and punished. When you've gotten enough attention, you can let him know by quieting down and behaving yourself. Make it absolutely clear that this is part of how you and he play, and clearly establish what the signal is supposed to mean. Make sure that you both have safe words in place. Why both of you? A lot of folks forget, or don't realise, that the top some times needs to stop the action too. If you're really pissing him off, he can use his safeword to stop the scene, rather than losing his temper (one of the big safety rules is to never play when you're drunk, stoned, or angry. Having your judgement compromised in a situation of bondage or torture is just not a good idea). This also lets you know that he's not playing any more, and you seriously need to quit whatever it is that you're doing. If this isn't something that your top enjoys, I'd suggest something along the lines of a "time out". The behavior you're describing is typically a bid for attention, so sitting in the corner is a pretty effective means of reinforcing the idea that this is not how you get attention from your top. Make sure you get plenty of positive reinforcement when you've been good, and I'm willing to bet that you and he will have something more like the dynamic you both are looking for in no time. Remember the three Cs of any relationship - communication, commitment, and compromise. Talk about what you both want from each other, and what dosen't seem to be working. Make a commitment to each other that this is going to be a priority (and make that commitment stick) - this does not nessisarily mean that you two are required to be monogamous, by the way, that's something that needs to be agreed upon like any other facet of your relationship - and if you can't agree on some particular point, try to reach a compromise. Maybe he dosen't like it when you're being a smart-ass, but some times you just can't help it. So agree that, if you're feeling particularly "frisky", you'll warn him accordingly, and he can decide if he's in the mood to deal with it or not. Remember, you two are stil forming the basis of this relationship. You've got a lot of discovery ahead of you. I wish you well on your journey. ~S
