Ill share a little more on how it works for me, ... When initiating an applicant i tell them they are not allowed to blindly obey, that is thier job to question things, to explore how they feel about things and to have the guts to disagree and dissent. They actually get brownie points for disention....it shows me that they are strong and have healthy sense of self....much more important in a life partner, then obedience wouldn't you say? I trust that the obedience based in our natural orientations will flow organically, but in application stage 1 and 2 i focus on them feeling safe, and feeling heard... I still ask them to do things for me, lots of things, but i try to couch it as "it would please me if you"....that way they are consciously consenting.... We both can really feel my appreciation when they do the thing (which is always) because we both know they did not have to. quote:

ORIGINAL: crouchingtigress believe it or not obedience does not really figure into it, in fact i have found that expecting obedience in the beginning is a sure fire way to not always hear a subs resistance and reservations... obedience comes later and the boy is never forced, because in my world if he chooses not to obey he is with drawing consent, and when he does that we need to talk. Thank you for saying this; it was both illuminating and thought-provoking for me. As a relatively "young" dominant, I find that I am still getting my rhythm in getting to know a submissive and bringing out what I want in him.
