Voltare -> RE: How to deal with your submissive (5/3/2005 6:01:22 PM)

This is something I've mulled over in the past, and finally in the end came up with what makes the most sense to me. I think there is a disturbing trend towards treating submissives or slaves the way one would treat a child. While this is well and good for some sorts of relationships and situations (Ageplay comes to mind) it simply doesn't seem practical to me in the long term. As mentioned before, making your displeasure clear is an effective means of 'discipline.' It also afford the dominant a means of actually expressing his feelings ("I asked you to have dinner ready by six pm, and it is now seven. Sweetheart, I am very dissappointed in you." would be language harsh enough to make Gretchen piss her pants in fear and dispair, in my case.) Obviously this technique only works if the submissive has a sense of empathy for the dominant, and if overused can actually cause damage to the relationship. Another issue at hand that is often overlooked, is that while a certain measure of discipline is necessary, the 'overuse' and 'excessive need' for discipline can be quite harmful to the relationship. Submissives are not children, they are adults and should be expected to be, at minimum, responsible for their own actions. There is truely no mechanism (legally) to force an adult to do something they refuse to do within a relationship. Thus, the concept of discipline eventually falls somewhere within 'RACK' or 'SSC' behavior. For the original poster, if you are simply looking for suggestions to help your Dom motivate you, then some of those already mentioned are very effective. I would add the addition of distasteful responsibilities (scrubbing the toilet, writing essays, polishing everything metal in the house, polishing leather boots to mirrors - usually a 20 hour task in all - reading of very boring material, etc etc) are suggestions. If you are looking for ways for him to 'make' you obey, I would strongly consider how seriously you wish to continue with a Domination/submission style relationship with him. Not everyone who enjoys BDSM (or is even a 'pain-slut') is cut out for Ds roles. Are you truely sure this is what you desire with him? Good luck Stephan
