Master LJ, Sounds like you are in the middle of a "frenzy". All the access to all these new experiences can be overwhelming from either end of the flogger. quote:
how do i get her to regain her confidence? What makes you think you lost it? Let your guard down, or better yet, don't be guarded at all. You know you're a "rookie", she knows it too. Instead of worrying about making mistakes, expect them, laugh at them and yourself when they occur. Nothing instills confidence better than admitting to your partner that you are learning too. Solicit feedback, and give it, frequently. quote:
How do i get her back in the game? Well, if it's a "game" are you sure she knows the "rules"? Do you? At minimum, make sure that you both are playing the same game on the same playing field. quote:
And how to i maintain my confidence as a master. Are you confident when you ride a bicycle that you won't fall? If you can remember as far back when falling was a distinct possibility you maintain today's confidence by drawing upon the knowledge that you know you won't. It happens over time. But don't forget, even Lance Armstrong falls. quote:
I am really a rookie at this, and i worry about this causing more harm than good. You can avoid this and reduce your worry by having and documenting the goal for the relationship. Once you've done that, you'll have a reference point for determining that you are causing "good". Have FUN!
