Your type of dominance. (38)

For me the way that worked was to treat every horse differently and working with them in a fairly sympathetic way, although there was always a degree of firmness involved (after all they are big strong animals and for safety's sake they most have a degree of respect for humans), I would always try and do things in a way that encouraged the horse to want to co-operate and in the case of a more spirited animal, to use that spirit to get a good performance from the horse rather than squashing the spirit to gain obedience.

Some trainers will use much firmer methods, they usually have a fairly set course that they will follow and they expect the horse to be obedient with no room for quirks or spirited behaviour and if the horse does not comply it is usually sent elsewhere as they consider it unsuitable for the job.

Then at the other extreme are the cowboy type methods where they will get out their ropes and battle through with the horse not giving up until that horse and any spirit it had are broken, expecting nothing less that total obedience at the end of the process.

Now I hope to find someone that uses a similar way as I did with my horses and because I have never been very good with authority I think I would just rebel against the other ways. So, subs out there what type of dominance works for you and Dom/mes which do you use?

I am not saying any are the right or twue way and I believe the right way is the way that works for you but I'm interested in how we all vary with these things, although the cowboy type way wouldn't work for me I am sure there must be people out there that it would work for and I'm hoping any comments may help me get a better insight into what works for me.

From a service perspective, if I've done something the same way forever and the submissive thinks of a way to do it better/faster/more efficiently... I certainly think that it's worth changing. On those few things that I want done a certain way- I explain in advance why it's important that no creativity or shortcuts are desired.

When it comes to matters of SM, though, I'm much more of a hard case about things. We do it my way (after negotiation) and only the appearance of a bona fide emergency is really going to change things. I realize it makes me not many people's taste in a dominant. I just don't like deals with strings attached.

Been a while since I've done this actually. Writing that reminds me how much fun it is.

I have never been good with authority either. I aways want to rebel too. The strange thing is though: When it's a beautiful woman telling me what to do I can be as obedient as a puppy and as docile as a lamb.

The only problem is that my vocabulary can get rather limited at those times. I start to find that all I really want to say is:

Take me Goddess! I am your slave. Your every wish is my command!

For me personally, any training starts with one thing - trust bred through familiarity. It takes time to get to know the subtle nuances of the "pupil". The same goes for training subs. All horses, dogs, subs are different. There may be similarities between them but still they are all unique. Some are maleable, some are feisty, some are changeable. Some are wired in the right way to make good subs, and some aren't.

Surely, any Dom/me must view each sub as an individual and learn about them before they can set the sub on a path of training (at least to gain the best possible outcome for both)?

I'd rather work with the horse/dog/sub than against it. A broken spirit is a pitiful thing.

(Interesting topic though, thanks - it made me think)

Did you say you were sub or dom?

That's the way I think but from some of the approaches and discussions I have had with some people on here I'm sure there are Doms and subs that feel spirit shouldn't be allowed for in the quest for obedience?

comments are always edited cause i is a typo princess innit though ... am i bothered

If someone wants a sub/slave with no character and no personality more fool them.

Oh crap I want to be really intelligent and detailed but my brain just keeps spitting out - I wouldnt want ot draw up some definitive list of types as I think it's more complex than that. I try to use the types/styles which work for the individual I am dominant to - so potentially any type which is within my limits. A bit chunk of the fun for me is in working that out.
