Greetings all, I have a medium length story so to those with the patience to read it all I am grateful. I have no experience with being a Dom. I have experience as a senior NCO in the military so I am not unfamiliar with giving orders and administering discipline (albeit never to someone I'm sleeping with). My current girlfriend of two years is accustomed to the BDSM lifestyle, I am not. She has had several Doms who treated her differently in sexual and non-sexual ways. I am accustomed to treating women delicately and catering to them, but this clearly isn't the best approach with her. I love her and I want her to be happy but we have problems in our relationship, and I think they may be due to me not being a Dom for her. Please bear in mind that since I am new to this, I am very concerned that I will continue a trend of "perversion" in her life. I have seen many things and I don't consider BDSM to be deviant behavior. I just want to make sure my motivations are right. I am a purist in all things I do and I see no point in carrying on a charade or devaluing the truth of something by failing to understand it. Now that you know a little about me, I'd like to describe her. She is in her 20s, I am 14 years older. We are both college students as I'm returning to complete my degree. She is a newly commissioned officer in the military (sharpshooters: this is permitted as I'm out of the IRR now). Her past Doms have subjected her to corporal punishment, verbal humiliation, facial, and breath control, and threatened her with trained attack dogs (I'm sure that has a word too but as I said I'm new to this.) She did not date or live with all of them, some were weekend visits only. She seems to have a fairly good understanding of what she wants/needs. We both get a fair share of stress in our lives, work, money, etc., and it affects her much more severely than me. I know that she will handle adversity better with more time in the military, but right now she does not handle it well. She also has a particular concept in her head of a good life, with regard to home, leisure time, possessions, and work, and that we don't have that life (we live like college students). I try to give her my assurance that things will change but she is very impatient. When she gets stressed out she treats me unfairly, disrespects me, or throws tantrums and shuts down emotionally. Two years have gone by like this for a number of reasons, first, I was initially unsure if BDSM is for me, second, I didn't know about collarme, and so on. I have since discovered that I really find a lot of it gratifying and fulfilling. But most importantly, she seems happier and more comfortable when I am exerting control over her. If I address her behavior by grabbing her, dragging her to the bedroom, and tanning her bare backside she responds immediately by becoming more docile, affectionate, and rational. I always make it a point to discuss the incident later, to remind her that I love her, and that I want her to trust and respect me so that she can be successful and happy, not just to cause her pain. She always thanks me and tells me never to let her go when this happens. I find it very sexually gratifying to place her on her knees, to spank or slap her when she disrespects me, and to control her breathing when we are in bed. I also get off on penetrating her anally, because she responds with fear and anticipation, and she always wants to impress me with her discipline. The sound of her whimpering as she endures it is almost too erotic to bear. (I am very careful and have very thoroughly researched the devices and techniques so as not to injure her or cause undue pain, and again this is something we discuss thoroughly before, during, and after.) I don't want to make my sexual pleasure the objective of dominating her. I want the success and pleasure of our relationship to be the reason, but then I wonder if making it all about pleasing me will truly allow her to live as a submissive. A lot of things in life compete with her for my attention right now. I am working to improve my degree and get a better career, and I have immediate family members with health concerns, so sometimes I cannot be there for her. She gets discouraged and sees this as inconsistency on my part. In the past I would make up for it by being fierce and cruel with her, but lately I have established a demerit scale. When she displeases me, whether we are out in public or separated by great distances, I can immediately tell her she's earned a demerit and can expect punishment later when we are in private. She is always asking if she can do anything to reduce her count before our next counseling together. I also wonder if I should be more controlling with her in other ways, ordering for her at restaurants for example. Are there other ways she could relinquish power to me that would help her to be happy and feel loved? She claims to be able to be in charge at work and come home and give over completely to me, and I believe she has the experience to be successful at this, so I imagine pretty much everything is fair game. Another thing that I am curious about is whether I should take control in an area where she doesn't want to give it up. I have the sense to leave school and work decisions to her, but perhaps I could discipline her for making a mundane decision without asking me. Again, thanks for the patience, and I welcome all comments from experienced or inexperienced subs and Doms. I really love her and I want her to be without a doubt that her man is strong and powerful, and that I'm driven to make her submissive spirit feel safe, loved, and supported.
