ORIGINAL: NBCNCO I have found that it's difficult to ask more experienced Doms, "how do I get better at doing ___," without it coming across as "how do I successfully fake doing ___," or, "instead of doing ___, which I find uncomfortable and unnatural, what else can I do?" Without going over the same ground of communication, ulterior motives, etc., I would suggest that OP consider what it is he wants to know, really. Is the question, "what are some of the rituals that have worked for you, that might serve as creative jumping-off points or to fill in some of the time I can't control due to my/our career(s)?" Or is it, "I'm considering taking my first slave, and I am not sure I'm prepared to step up the degree of control I have previously exerted on my numerous subs?" Or is it something else? I tend to assume that people are inherently sincere in their intent, until they prove otherwise at least, because even if they're not, someone else may come along and read this in an archived form some day, and there is a tiny little possibility that what I say will be helpful. It's really unfortunate that when you come in here and post for the first time, you're labeled "Vanilla" by the forum. I am certainly not. I was pretty twisted for years before I even knew about BDSM. It's prejudicial and the rest of us (well you guys I suppose) can't help but take your lack of forum experience as lack of RL experience. I don't think the tags should be named with anything suggestive of BDSM at all. Another comment to Leadership: and I think you know this already about me: Not everyone "signed up" for the job. It sort of fell into my lap. I know you know better but I hear over and over from different Doms that simply because I didn't go out into the world and engineer the situation for myself, that I'm not suited for it or I'm just making the best of it. The world is full of "vanillas" who will astound you with their capabilities if you pay attention to them. I won't speak for Jeff. Ironically enough, he and I have discussed that very thing on the forums before, as it happens to be something that we have in common. Just because what we do fell into our lap, doesn't mean we didn't engineer this situation once it did.
