ORIGINAL: LadyPact I believe that, in the beginning of any dynamic, there is a feeling out period. I am not saying this is a bad thing, but a sense of testing boundries. From My experience, this is the time where a submissive is more likely than not to enforce their safeword, to ensure that it will be respected, and maybe a bit of pushing on the Dom/Domme's part to see what kind of authority They have. A bit childish, perhaps, but it's been known to happen. I agree that there is an intial period that is particularly relevant. I think this period is not necessarily to test boundaries but to establish the relationship and boundaries, and trust. Some boundaries remain, some are let go, some new ones may arise. I do submit to things outside my areas of interest that are not boundaries. How I respond to areas that are boundaries varies on a case by case basis with respect to what connection exists and how strong is the boundary. In my opinion, when a submissive resists an order, I think why he is resists is more important than that he resists. I think hearing the reason can help decide if the hesitation is reasonable or not. And I think it is helpful to consider whether enough familiarity has been established for the matter at hand. Cheers, Sea Many, many great posts here, keep them coming, I NEED this thread. Sea, I love the part about "familarity", I have noticed most men don't need a lot of "familarity" to play bedroom games and BDSM, but when you mention submitting to something "outside" of BDSM----> they don't know you well enough. I just realized this holds for most men, thanks for opening my eyes. Most submissives will play on a dime, but if you ask for more than play? Many think they don't know you will enough. Thank you.
