Building Trust For Both of Us

I am extremely flattered by the trust that K showed me. Not only did he travel to a new country to meet me, and allow me to bind and play with him, but he also trusted me to be the first male Dom he's played with sexually. Sexual play has never been a main attraction for me, but breaking in a new guy is a treat that's hard to turn down.

The more time he spent with us, the more comfortable we all became with him in a submissive role. At first he was constantly covering himself, shying away when we looked, but over time he became more confident, more relaxed, and more available to be played with. After a day of gentle play, he started showing hints that he was willing to go further. When I half-seriously suggested oral, I was surprised by his willingness.

I shouldn’t have been surprised though; it's normal for a sub to build trust at an accelerated rate during play. It could have been hormones as well, but as best as I could tell, the offer was sincere. We talked about it briefly, and soon after I unzipped my pants and grabbed him by his hair.

He didn't struggle at first, so I was able to guide him in and hold him there. While he got used to my scent, my wife moved so she could see better. Before long, I had to move as well because it was becoming uncomfortable to hold him. After moving, I grabbed his hair to start again, but this time he pulled back and made a sour face.

I backed off, unsure about his reaction. As soon as I did, he started leaning forward and trying to encourage me again. When I started pushing, he again put up a fight. After a couple attempts, I stopped everything. Looking back it seems obvious that he was play-fighting, but it was hard to tell in the moment. I didn't feel like I was in control of the situation, and that's not a good position for a Dom to be in.

It's important to understand that trust is the foundation of sane play. It's obvious that a sub needs to trust a Dom before being pushed, but it's just as important for a Dom to trust that the sub can handle being pushed. K was building trust for me more quickly because we'd been playing, but because I had barely pushed him, I wasn't sure where his boundaries were. This was new territory for him, so when he started to struggle, it was a very real possibility that I had hit a limit.

We took the time to cool down and dissect the failed attempt. I learnt that he could take a lot more than I'd given, and he learnt that he still had to be gentle when fighting back. We celebrated our newfound understanding with a posture collar, elbow cuffs, and a long edging session.

Our next attempt at oral had a much better ending, but it was a lot harder for K.

To be continued. . .

The Effects of Orgasm Denial

Chastity and orgasm control have been a favourite of mine ever since I first discovered them. I like the appearance of most chastity belts / devices, and the symbolism of wearing one fits my style well. I especially like the way a sub develops a drive to serve when they can't get off. And because orgasm control can be practiced easily over distance, even without a chastity device, it's probably the kink with which I have the most experience. I am often asked how long I like to keep subs between orgasms, but the answer depends on a few factors. It depends on how I want to train the sub, on their moods, and how sexually active they are. I also like to keep subs ignorant about when their next orgasm might come, but that's a story for another day. As a sub is kept without orgasm, they seem to go through phases. Each has a unique experience, with it's own benefits and drawbacks. For me, finding the ideal duration for a sub means figuring out which of these phases is best for...

Ball Stretching Without Fancy Toys

I came up with this simple technique while trying to fit my former houseboy into a chastity device . His ball sack was tight enough that the tightest A-ring he could wear comfortably would slip off when his mood changed. After just two weeks following these steps, he could easily wear an A-ring two sizes smaller. WARNING: I am only sharing my experiences. This technique has not been throughly tested. I make no promises that it will work, or that it will be safe. If you decide to try it, you do so at your own risk. I suspect this technique will be safe, but I am not an expert. Be careful, and stop immediately if it doesn't feel right. The only tool you need is some kind of cord that doesn't stretch. It's extremely important that it doesn't stretch, otherwise it can become too tight, and tight is a bad thing when you're wearing something long term. You need a foot or two of length, and a thickness of 1/8" will be the most comfortable. Start with a couple...

Book Review: Real Service

Real Service Raven Kaldera and Joshua Tenpenny First published in 2011 As the name implies, this book is all about service. It's filled with useful information about styles of service, the power dynamics of service, and practical information about serving. It's also has helpful lists to help you figure out your own style. They keep the text grounded in real experiences and stories while also providing insightful abstractions to illustrate key concepts. This was a fantastic book, and I learned a lot from it. I quite liked Joshua's four rules of service. The first in particular deserves to be repeated widely: "If the master doesn’t want it, it isn’t service." Another part I found fascinating are the three motivations for submission: transactional (doing it for pleasure, payment, or other personal gains), devotional (doing it out of love for the master), and positional (doing it because you are meant to). They talk about the advantages and disadvantages of each, and ...
