What skills would you like to learn that you think would add to your dynamic/lifestyle/scene/relationship?

For instance, I would love to learn to give a really wonderful massage...

I also would love to know how to serve a formal dinner or, though it is cliche lately, a proper tea ceremony.I would also like to learn belly dancing or some other form of dance that would help me learn to be more graceful and sensual in my movements.

And, this last one is going to seem very odd: I'd like to take a class in debate. I'd like to be able to give Daddy a run for his money when we talk about things. I can have a very firm and knowledgeable stance on something, but I'm a horrible debater... I usually just give in or 'agree to disagree' out of fear of saying something mean or dumb.

What is it you would like to learn and how would it add to... whatever it is you do?

i'd have to agree to all of those things, but some new things new, for me,would Flower arranging and wine choosing. i'd like to hone some of the skills i already have, i.e., cooking/baking, writing, dancing, dieting without starving (lol) and some of the more erotic aspects of this life -- basically things that would either make my Master's life easier and/or more pleasurable.

BTW, great question -- will add it to my list of things i want to remember..lol...

Happy sunday...

Greetings

I am a pretty good cook; though I would like to learn how to cook better than what I do now.

I absolutly detest gardening; Master really enjoys home grown vegetables and fruits so knowledge in gardening would go along way ( though I think that if I could buy 'a love of it' from somewhere, that might go alot further )

I am currently taking belly dancing lessons Though I am the first to admit that I have no rythym

I wish you well

melissa

I want to learn how to shoot a bow and arrow

I took a group of kids at a summer camp I worked to the archery range.

They got their lesson from the range counselor. Who hit the target with all the arrows he shot.

They shot arrows into the target. The ground. Trees. Whatever.

I sat on the side and watched the fun.

Then they all came over and begged me to shoot. I tried to talk my way out of it, to no avail.

I stood up, picked up the bow, put 7 arrows in the bullseye and one on the outside line for the bullseye.

Gave the bow back to the instructor, smiled, and sat back down. He said "maybe you should
be teaching this?" I responded "I spent my entire childhood with a bow in my hand almost 24x7, but
you were teaching fine."

I would like to learn how to be sexy, or at least dress sexy....Not slutty *s* that one is easy. I am a jeans and T-shirt girl and the thought of getting dressed up makes me cringe but I know Rob loves it when I do, I'm just very style challenged.

I would like to learn how to serve at a lifestyle dinner

denika

I second this. Master is going to make me dress like he wants and that scares the hell out of me. LOL. I know he is going to dress me very slutty, or should I say without very much covered, to be nice. I am not one to do that, or feel comfortable dressing this way. So I would love to find a way to dress up that pleases Master and I feel comfortable at the same time.

I agree with learning to serve a lifestyle dinner. That would be so enjoyable and pleasing to Master.

What would I like to learn?

How to identify all the birds around me...
The names of all the flowers in the store... (Why aren't they labeled?)
The names of the different kinds of fabrics...

It is so annoying to be able to find things, but not to know their names so I can talk about them with somebody else...

"The moment a little boy is concerend with which is a jay and which is a sparrow, he can no longer see the birds or hear them sing."- Eric Berne

Just thought, that might make you feel a little better about not knowing the names...I'm terrible at bird identifying! Had to find a quote so that I'm can always look capable...just a smidge disinterested.

As for things I'd like to learn how to do...the list is long. But, I don't want to be too goal oriented about things that I'll hopefully enjoy (it'll make it seem too much like work). So, I've planted my litte garden out back, I'm scheduled for classes at the local community college, we have plans to go hiking/camping this summer.

Mostly, I really just want to get outside...I've officially got cabin fever, so my entire list of things I'd like to learn how to do invovles the outdoors. After a couple of mosquitos get me...I'll be wanting to learn how to sew and serve dinners. lol

I just want to learn how to be comfortable looking sexy or slutty in public. I fidget way too much sometimes if my clothing feels too tight or revealing.

I'm curious why some of you don't like flogging. Is it because you feel that you are simply servicing the bottom with sensation play? I find it the best way to space a submissive and love it. It is a safe way I can satisfy my desire to "whip."

Bingo

Also, I like my play to be more connected and I don't feel connected to someone facing away from me (yes you can flog breasts but that isn't how it is done) I think that much of what people learn as "skill" has more to do with impressing the audience than improving/controlling the sensation. If I want to impress the audience, that is why I have a zipper...

I would point out in response to the question "why dont you like flogging" with the comment that, in my experience, most of what happens in this lifestyle is limbic system related.

Your limbic system and your conscious mind dont really have much of a connection.

I would simply say to somebody who said "I dont like flogging, or anal sex, bashing AnencephalyBoy," that I understand where they are coming from.

Then I let it drop.

For those who have mentioned learning to shoot, if you are in Arkansas, I have friend there who is an amazing shot and if anyone is local to me, I can teach you as well.

Make sure whomever is teaching you starts you on a small .22 and not some big stupid penis extender. Trigger control is more important than having the sights aligned. In general, given an hour I can teach most women to outshoot the men at a range.

There is something very erotic about standing behind a woman, her back pressed against you, your hands guiding her hands as she slowly squeezes the trigger...
