ORIGINAL: theshytype I don't expect him to read my mind no matter how well he knows me and nothing says mood killer or ego-boost drainer like "hey, I'm not getting what I need". I have to disagree with you. Not much is sexier to me than a submissive who speaks up and communicates. Of course, I still make the decisions, but KNOWING can make a lot of difference. <soapbox>So, to you, I would say: I hope you do try communication at some point, because the trust and sexiness that can develop from 100% openness and honesty is fucking incredible. </soapbox> While I have definitely gotten better at communicating my wants over the past few years, there are only a few times when I'll bring it up. It has been my experience that there are some people with a more fragile ego. In the past, when I did have an extremely difficult time asking for anything I wanted from another person, it wasn't a big deal. At all. Still, now I wait for a 'good' time - and that's if I can remember when that time comes. I've gone through life expecting very little from others, something that comes natural to a person often described as a 'lone wolf'. My "manipulating" has always been my way of asking without asking and without hurting another's ego. I consider myself lucky that I have a partner that notices my cues and doesn't consider it as manipulative. ETA: if something was hurting me past my threshold, I would speak up in that instance and I wouldn't care hurting anyone's ego if need be.
