Knowing the Goals and Understanding the Needs
The major step of training a submissive is specifying exactly how you, as the Domme, intend the relationship to work, and that you wish the submissive to learn those particular tasks. This could include any type of duties either in public or private settings.
For example, as Mistress you may have your subservient to perform particular jobs like cleaning, washing clothes, or cooking. You are empowered to endeavor for a specific frequency in terms of how often and the quality of these tasks. Also, you would be more likely to require your submissive to rub down your feet after a tired day, prepare your most loved drink or meal without being told, or aid in putting on or taking off your clothes.
You could also set up a rule on how your submissive is supposed to address you in public. For instance, by using honorifics like “Mistress” or “Ma’am,” maintaining a high level of respect and deference, or showcasing the physical presence of the submissive by wearing a discreet collar or bracelet.
In essence, one of the keys to a happy Dominant-submissive relationship formula is, in fact, the clear communication of expectations and desires.
Breaking Down Tasks
After setting up goals, the very next step will be to let the learning process be divided into smaller parts. This course of strategic conduct, instead of intimidating, makes the most impossible targets of the dominant look merely achievable. However, achievable does not necessarily mean easy.
Let’s say the Dominant wanted to educate the submissive on how to have a sensual touch massage. This may at first sight seem to be complicated. However, when broken into small, easily doable parts, anyone can go about it with more confidence.
Setting the Mood: The Dominant partner can begin by teaching the submissive how to make an environment that will help to induce feelings of relaxation and sensuality. Such an act can be lighting up a scented candle, turning on relaxing music, or laying soft towels and blankets for comfort.
Body Awareness: The dominant now focuses on instructing the submissive about the unique parts of the body that are good for touching and can bring a tremendous response.
Practicing the technique: Domme can lead the submissive partner through the training. Sub can have experience with various massage techniques regarding effleurage, petrissage, and feather touch.
Iteration and feedback: The sub has to take the instructions from the Dominant and work on improving him/herself.
Consistency & Feedback
Consistency is the foundation of successful submissive training. The daily practice sessions serve as a powerful learning tool. They help in forming habits that will be readily automatic to the sub once in place. As an illustration, these could be daily/weekly sessions that will be led by you and focused on practicing certain skills like posture, verbal cues, or acts of service.
In addition to consistency, feedback is a crucial player in the learning process. Feedback has the dual purpose of providing the required course of action and strengthening the learners’ grasp. For instance, you could give instant feedback during the sessions, appreciate the moments of achievement, and give criticism for the parts that require development.
Establishing Rules
Clear and precise rules are key elements for maintaining power and control. They should be leading the submissive in terms of what she/he is supposed to do and to what extent the performance is supposed to be.
Moreover, it is advisable to mention such things as possible aftereffects of non-compliance with the rules. You can give an example, like rewards and punishments to strengthen the wanted behaviors and repel disobedience.
Moreover, a vital part of building a healthy relationship involves defining the boundaries, especially when speaking about the BDSM relationship.
Do’s and Don’ts for the Dominant
Do:
- Foster open communication: Encourage your submissive to share her/his feelings and thoughts. It may offer you some useful information about their state of mind and how to accurately address it.
- Set clear objectives: Be specific about what skills or characteristics you are training for. Clarity of goals regulates both you and your submissive spiritually and directionally.
- Maintain consistency in rules and punishments: Consistency can be the key to avoiding confusion and overcoming insecurity.
- Practice patience. Submissive training takes time, and progress may be slow. It’s important to appreciate the efforts of your submissive.
- Use rewards: Positive reinforcement can be as effective as punishment. Rewards for good behavior can motivate a submissive and reinforce the behaviors you want to encourage.
Don’t
- Ignore limits. Certainly, hard limits and soft limits should be followed all the time, especially during training time. This excess of the boundaries without consent can cause a lack of trust.
- Skip aftercare. At the end of a long session, aftercare is an absolute necessity.
- Forget that training is a two-way street. Training is a two-way street, but you shouldn’t be the one who forgets that. Moreover, you are both a teacher and a learner; the submissive should often provide you with feedback that can improve your relationship.
- Neglect Your Submissive’s emotional needs: Even a well-trained sub may experience intense emotions and even feel inner weakness. It is important to identify and solve these needs in time and in the right way.
- Forget to reflect on your practices: Make it a routine to always take some time to consider your technique. This can help you narrow down areas where your performance could be improved for mutual satisfaction.
