ORIGINAL: niquefreek My question is this: How the hell do I figure out what I want/what my limits are etc. with my husband when I am not even sure what it is I am asking for? Yes I am reading lots of stuff, and checking out lots of things here on collarme and over on fetlife; but I still don't even really know how to figure out what my limits are if that makes sense? For instance: I am pretty sure I want to experience being tied up and spanked (I know that is pretty tame for many here but remember I am just getting started so be nice!). I know that I like a "sting" versus a "thud" sensation from being spanked or hit if that makes sense...but I have no idea how/what to ask for? He is new at this as well....so that may be wherein our problem lies. I know everyone has to find their own path but a little advice would be helpful.... Thanks I think there are several issues here. Going backwards, you are very quick to suggest the blame may lie in your husband. This isn't about blame, about him being new.... but in that one line you demonstrated a lack of trust in him and did him a dissservice. He is here at the side of you because he loves you and wants to please you, and find some new things for himself to enjoy - just like yourself... so please don't look at this situation as one where it is the fault of someone, but a journey you are travelling together, learning together, one where things might go wrong at times, but it really isn't your place to punish him and make him feel bad if they do. We live and learn from our experiences, not live and blame. Now from the beginning... how to figure out what you want? Look at your fantasies realistically, which ones to you want to beome a reality? I imagine there will be some that are just hot but you can't imagine ever doing them, and others that you know you really want to try. When you compared this to limits, which is obviously something you have read about, I get confused. Limits are there initially to help you find a suitable match. You pick someone who shares your limits, or someone who respects your limits. Your situation is different. You already have a suitable match, your husband. So stop worrying about what your limits are and start enjoying your journey of the things you have already discovered you like, and then build upon those. There may come a time when your husband speaks up with one of his fantasies and it something that squicks you out, then is the time to be open about it, tell him what you think about it and let him draw his own conclusions. You are putting the cart before the horse a bit and confusing yourself here I think, chill out and relax, enjoy the moment and stop sabotaging your journey. quote:

You say "I am pretty sure I want to experience being tied up and spanked". This shouldn't be about you asking for anything. Your hsuband loves you and wants to please you, so he will enjoy giving you thinks that you want. Your job is to tell him what you want. So with regards to the above you would say "I am pretty sure I want to experience being tied up and spanked" and then you leave him to decide if that is something that he wants too, or if that is something that he wants to give to you. Please remember this relationship isn't about you, it is his life too, when you think about things that you might not want to try, have you even considered that there may be things that your husband doesn't want too? quote:
ORIGINAL: niquefreek Its just frustrating because he is learning himself about being a dominant (in a sexual way) and so he is asking me what I want and I don't know so it gets hard. I think you do know some of what you want, like the text about, you think you want to be tied and spanked, I am sure there are lots of things that start with "I think I want..." that would be your starting point. List your fantasies. Out of hte bedroom it is called talking, in the bedroom it is called dirty talking. Open your mouth and let it ramble. You will make mistakes over time, you will say you want something, but on trying it you might find you really don't want to do it again, jsut be honest. Sometimes you have to suck it and see if you like it... and none of that teeny tiny bite sized portions where you can't taste it, embrace new experiences with an open mind and explore your sexuality. quote:
ORIGINAL: niquefreek And we will be doing stuff, and after i will tell him I would have liked more of this or less of this and he gets frustrated because he wants to know during so he can adjust. But when we are in the middle of stuff it is a totally different headspace for me. If I have to stop and say "hey can you spank my ass a little harder; or you know that was really annoying stop that" it kind of blows the mood for me - if that makes sense? Forgive me for being quite so blunt but this really does so sound so selfish. How hard do you imagine it is for your husband to hit you during sex and get no feedback from you? Are you really so precious that you don't want to make it a tad easier on him while he travels on this difficult path? I understand you are in a different headspace, but really, would it be so hard to say "oooh, that's nice"... or " ow, that's the wrong sort of pain"? It blows the mood...? Tough, while he may be in control during these times you still have an obligation to treat him fairly. Be positive when it is nice, and when it is annoying consider it might be something he is enjoying doing for himself before you undermine his choices. I am usually one to suggest educationing yourself with reading and adventures, but since you seem to be confusing yourself with things such as limits, a socially invented concept, can I suggest you look into yourself and your relationship for all these answers. Being with your husband in this new way will educate you both over time, whereas you are trying to run before you can walk. Be cool my freind, enjoy each other and this path, be open (and honest) not just with each other, but with yourself, and use your common sense. But most of all, this isn't just about you OP, this is about your husband too, please remember that, he sounds like a special man, a keeper.
