How does online training work?

DiurnalVampire -> RE: Online training (12/29/2006 8:43:43 PM)
That depends on the person you are training with, and the goals of that training. Each of us works differently online, assuming we bother with it at all. For me, it is simply a tool when someone is away for extended periods, or for getting to know how a prospective sub reacts to certain things. As a primary training source, I find it lacking. DV

LuckyAlbatross -> RE: Online training (12/29/2006 9:39:17 PM)
Same as offline except you do everything through text and can't be there physically to show them or have them demonstrate and do things directly.

nephandi -> RE: Online training (12/30/2006 7:14:16 AM)
i think it can work, it can teatch etiquette and obediance and things like that, but i dont think it will work jsut was well as physical face to face training. But the sucsess anyway depend on how serious the parties invloved take the training and how mutch they put into it.

bandit25 -> RE: Online training (12/30/2006 7:41:29 AM)
Yeah, that's prolly the key. How seriously both parties take online training.

I don't know if I'd have called it "training" per se, but the time I have spent online has given me the opportunity to be presented with some things that were initially pretty scary at a time when life itself was pretty scary to me. I kind of liken it to the work needed to overcome a paranoia. I got to hear of and think about things in small manageable pieces rather than dealing with them face to face at a time when I couldn't even ask the male stock person at Wal-Mart where they put the toilet paper. Yea... I had a lot of work to do on myself when I finally got out of my marriage. Online experiences helped enormously in that regard. Whatever it was that I was engaged in was worth its weight in gold - if only for that. To this day, I am very grateful to some specific people across this country and Canada for taking the time to talk to me, listen to me, bear with me when all I could do is cry, and for never judging me. I owe a couple of them my life. One of them is in Calgary. The other is in Philadelphia. I've never met either of them, and I bet, that if they passed me on the street, I wouldn't even know they were there, but very rarely does a day go by - even 8 years later, when I don't find something to thank their influence in my life for. I wish for them only the best. That's what they gave to me - never asking anything in return beyond my friendship. juliet

I hear ya. I guess that's what I see as a difference. I read all the time...online, offline, you name it and I, too, got my "start" online. But not as training...just reading and learning. I guess one can be trained online, I don't know. I do think it would take someone pretty dedicated, tho. I just don't think it would work with me unless there was at least some face to face involved.

No, I'm not going to be sitting on the floor in some ritualistic positions because someone said so. For one, I'd never be able to see my monitor if I did that. But learning that I was worth expecting the best out of the people I met; learning that service didn't mean acceptance of negative behavior; learning that it was all right to live by codes I'd developed for myself without fear of being considered "less than"...it was all training of some sort. juliet

I hear the University of Pheonix does a great deal of online training, you might want to start there ;) Stephan

bandit25 -> RE: Online training (12/30/2006 9:36:19 AM)
Nice.

quote: ORIGINAL: Stephann I hear the University of Pheonix does a great deal of online training, you might want to start there ;) Stephan I'd be willing to bet that you meant that to be sarcastic. Except that you're absolutely right. Any sort of training that broadens your horizons and ultimately helps you to be sure that what you're doing is something you WANT to do, is a good thing - including education and furthering yourself in academic venues. I know that my Master has turned women down before simply because they were uninterested in furthering themselves in terms of their education and career choices. He never has been interested in whatever benefit those ritualistic positions may or may not bring to a relationship. His focus was viable and economic growth for his submissives and slaves for their sake, not for his. It's all part of a package called learning. Just as those ritualistic positions might be for some people. juliet

nephandi -> RE: Online training (12/30/2006 12:48:04 PM)
i had an online trainer for a while, he gave me texts to read and had me write up reports on that, had me meditate on topics or train on etiquette or slave positions. Almost like a mail order course in somthing yes? And when i am away from home to visit my mom, my Master, that i live whit 24/7 can send me orders and training asignment per mail. It work well if both parties is serious and not jsut take it as a game.

Laura -> RE: Online training (12/30/2006 1:20:05 PM)
Online training should be considered a form of fun and a way to bring up new ideas which may be worked out to try in reality. Online is not much like the reality, for either Dom or sub. There are things you believe you would do and lust for online but when in the reality it's a completely different story.

nephandi -> RE: Online training (12/30/2006 2:04:08 PM)
Ofcourse, but i was not realy talking aboute cybersex here, that is like an rpg or an interactive pron story, i am talking aboute instruction in the from of being told such and such books, webpages and such and such and such documents the Dominat have written is quite good and ight give insigt into somthing. Look at it this way, say you wish to learn yoga and you can not find a yoga class where you live, but your frined in Sweeden is wery good at Yoga and she offers to intruct you over the mail. She sends you pictures and descriptions of positions, documents and book recomendations to read and offer guidence and will answer questions and give you daily exersises. Will this intruction be as good as if you could go to a yoga intructor and see him or her face to face? Probably not, but if you take it seriously you will learn yoga. And the same whit many of the theoretical things of D/s And so no, i respectfully disagree, one need not see all online instruction as a game.

quote: ORIGINAL: Jamcd How does online training work? well, for one thing...you have to do most of the stuff yourself while reading what someone else what's you to do, via a PC monitor. (where's the fun in that?)

Huntertn -> RE: Online training (12/30/2006 2:12:50 PM)
On-line training is as good as the Dom and the sub will allow it to be.[:-] It does help thu communication to express your feelings and thoughts that might be too hard to say at first. But know this...nothing will ever replace the velvet feel of skin under my fingertips, nor that Look from the corner of her eyes as she looks at me. If it ever does,I'd have to throw all the floggers and clamps [lol] and all the toys away..noppers...an't gonna happen...[8D] [Mod Note: Font color changed]

michaelOfGeorgia -> RE: Online training (12/30/2006 2:40:30 PM)
your font color makes it difficult to read what you said without highlighting everything.

bandit25 -> RE: Online training (12/30/2006 3:05:27 PM)
Exactly. When you define "training" the way you've done, I agree completely. It's all training/learning to some degree.
