To "present yourself" & other assorted terminology (34)

And how do you feel about it now?

Did it push your boundaries? Still hate it?

I think exhibitionism plays a core role in "presenting yourself".

Well I am defintely not much of an exhibitionist. But as I have come to learn more about BDSM I have begun to understand the 'logic' behind presenting and the exposure and vulnerability of the submissive/bottom. So I am able to deal with that kind of thing better. But I haven't met anyone since that first guy who was quite so into putting me on display, and commenting on me and that has been somewhat of a relief.

'Pervert'? She can't even spell it!

As does humiliation .

Is ther a particular position or something that should be adopted or does that depend on the Dom/me?

Do Dom/mes train their subs to present themselves inparticular ways?

And is this often used in public ?. I had thought it would normally be only be done in private.

life is like a box of chocolates ........ too many coffee creams !

Normally includes either getting nekked or raunching it up a bit to allow your Dom/me to 'assess' the subject before them. Mostly occurs in private but could be wherever they choose, and however they choose, in whatever position they want...to maximise the humiliation...to make their submissive feel uncomfortable and at their mercy = YUMMY!!

Oh - I hope not: presenting arms hardly seems an act of submission

Rules is rules...

Haven't a clue. Perhaps it doesn't 'originate', as such, from anywhere. It's just a phrase that does exactly what it says on the tin.. I don't know for sure though.

I'm not sure exaclty what you mean by 'sentiment' but it does, for Skymouse and I, reinforce my 'control' over her. I am commanding her to assume a known position to recieve something (punishment, pleasure or a torment of both) or, on occasion, holding the position could be the punishment itself. It can also be clothed or unclothed. Short skirts work particularly well, as they can amplify the mental aspects of what is, or is not, being displayed. (Giving that the position she assumes, does present that issue for her).

Frustrated whimpers, slight wriggling of the hips, slight movement of her head as she fights the urge to look around at me.. There are others, but it's the overall effect that I know it is having on her that has the effect on me.

Not a stupid question, at all, Sublima.

I think that the honest answer is that it may vary from one 'relationship' to another, depending upon the people involved.

For us, it doesn't have to involve being naked. It really does depend on why I am telling her to do it.

As for having her do that in public.. Never have done, although we have talked about it, on occasion. Neither mouse or I know whether she would react the way she does when we are alone, or whether she would totally freak out.. The idea is appealing to both of us, but the jury is still out for doing it in reality. (I'm not ignoring the issues surrounding the consent of others in a public setting there. The ideas/conversations haven't reached the stage where that needs to be considered yet, is all).
