TUDORS: full volta scene *german*

One of the many reasons I love 'The Tudors.' I've been fascinated with the Tudors and Henry VIII, especially, for years. They do Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, and Catherine Howard justice. I really liked Anne of Cleves and Jane Seymour, too. Ursula Miseldon... The entire series is amazing if not always historically accurate.

Excuse the German- my main focus was the volta.

Reposted from Fetlife- theories on the Dom/sub relationship

What I feel, submissively, isn't complicated until I start trying to pull it apart.

I'm not sure my Master and I ever defined what the Dominant and submissive roles meant for us. Soon as I said, 'I take s/m very seriously,' Then he replied, 'I take s/m <very> seriously, too.' ... The way he was looking at me, how much weight was in what he said... I became his, or, at least, let all the defenses crash down to start what led to me becoming his. When we realized our Checklists were so compatible, we started the Dom-sub relationship, pain-play, and haven't turned back since. There was the flare of attraction, intense chemistry, his dominance called my submissive side, and the bond has only grown deeper and more intense. 

It all made sense to me... Argh.

Once it was confirmed that he Was a Dominant, then my Dominant, my submissive side snapped into place and set new standards. Those standards were based around what I knew he wanted, what I sensed he wanted (and then was proven right by how pleased he was when I anticipated correctly). Small things, but the small things are what compounds into all-around submission, all the time for him.

--- The submissive, because of what he or she feels for their Dom, will strive to be pleasing to him. In all ways. From what they wear, to how they act (which shouldn't be a suppression of traits, but an offering of them all, used as the Dominant chooses), to how they submit, is done so the Dominant feels different levels of pleasure. If they feel that satisfaction, the kind that means they know a submissive is always trying to be better... that's what a good submissive is, to me.

Being a Dominant means... being observant, controlled, warm when their submissive is faltering, directive and clear when issuing Dominant commands. If a Dominant and submissive are compatible, the sub should feel energy and power that makes offering submission feel safe.

A Dom should expect unflagging submission, obedience- on the levels they've agreed on- the attention (subtle attention) a submissive should have for their Dom. But to have it offered willingly, happily, rather than from feelings of obligation. If it's not real, what's the point? I wouldn't tolerate that from a submissive, let alone someone I've taken as my slave.

Willfully disobeying, being over-the-line sarcastic, provoking dominant reactions... all behavior that warrants different levels of punishment. And the submissive should know that as they fall into bad behavior.

A Dom should be firm enough to inflict punishment, and always be watching for submissive infractions, yet be kind enough to have different levels of punishment pain:
Ex: Moving out of position, accidentally-
Punishment might be teasing, orgasm denial, a short, intense amount of hard pain, or slow pain that slowly builds to a point where I gasp or moan. There's disappointment from him, but only in that I should know better than to break position.
Ex 2: When I forgot something he asked me to bring in, from his car-
That was playful punishment, no feelings of disappointment from him. Though I did feel More submissive after because he really only seemed to be amused that I'd forgotten. I appreciate that he remembered I don't usually forget things like that, and that he seemed very pleased by how sorry I was.
Ex 3: When I forgot to put my collar on when we got back-
There was cold dominance, controlled to a frightening degree. He told me to go into the bedroom, assume a punishment position, and then there was colder, hard punishment pain. Which slowly warmed so I felt worse for forgetting, and submission burned to emphasize, silently, how sorry I was. He forgave me and put my collar on. Then that was the end of punishment. 

Punishment is however my Master wants to inflict pain. I trust that it'll be pain I can take, and I accept that it could be severe enough to have me safeword. (He hasn't had me use my safeword for him yet.) I trust that he won't be cruel and manipulate my submission into doing things that'll hurt my self-esteem.
Ex: I'll let him make me bleed from punishment pain, maybe using a belt, a flogger, whatever else he decides to use. I know that he doesn't like to do that. If he ever does, I'll know how mad he is and I'll strive to show submission that has him forgive me.

He knows I can't take humiliation-punishment, so I trust he won't ever punish me that way.
- If he told me the punishment was standing outside somewhere, in some publicly submissive position, I wouldn't be able to do that. (I'd feel compelled to, because I'm that submissive to him, but not being able to would hurt me, too.)
Now, if we go to an private s/m event or party where that kind of behavior is encouraged... I hope my behavior will be a credit to my Master.

A good Dominant won't ask for what they know a submissive Can't give, though they'll test soft limits. They get to learn one another, their quirks, habits, reactions... the Dom won't stress their submissive just as the submissive shouldn't overwhelm the Dominant. It's give and take... Submission offered, allowing the Dominant to take control- but then once the Dominant has that firm sense of control, it's up to the Dom to guide their submissive into deeper submission, and trust.
