To start off, a husband will come into a D/s relationship with expectations on the way it will go. It is important that these be ignored and replaced with teaching him to follow your expectations. To get there, it is important for you to first identify what you would like to see as expectations to have him meet.
I find almost universally, housework is turned over. This takes training most of the time as guys traditionally are not given the basic skills. I have a little crash course down in the "resources" section down below. Other common things wife's want are having him pamper you with baths and massages. Sex on your terms so you can finally have fulfilling intimate times where you are treated the way you want is also common. The important thing is for you to determine "what" before the "how".
Okay, so now you have a few ideas about what “you” want to see. Your husband has agreed to the D/s thing, but is holding on to his expectations. A good starting point is to ask him to not start any conversation with you by saying “how about if…” or “Do you want….”. This is really a way of him saying, “I want to…..”. Let him know that he will be given direction about what you want. If he breaches the rule, remind him. This will keep his own ideas bottled up and eventually he will develop the habit of looking to you for directions. It will also help you to stear things how you like without his prodding you. Learning to be a dominant takes as much time for you as he will need to learn to be a submissive in the day to day routine.
Second, enjoy flaunting your freedom and pointing out his service role. This will become something he enjoys and in turn cause him to look to you for opportunities to serve you so he can enjoy it again. For instance, take some money, go get your nails done and let him know he is going to stay home to take care of the kids and clean the kitchen. When you get back, show him how pretty your nails look and comment on something he missed cleaning in the kitchen. Things like this establish the disparity pleasure mechanism and are a great way to instill future obedience.
Thirdly, tease him sexually with him knowing he will not be getting an orgasm for awhile. Tell him maybe the weekend, but during the week, ask him to help you undress, or give you a full body massage, or give his ass a good pinching during his morning routine. This concept is often mentioned, but I can say from experience there is no doubt it works wonders.
Lastly, have him read the rules you have made. This should really be done each day. This can either be by himself or out loud to you at night before going to bed. I can say there is something about reading rules out loud that help to establish following them. I now read my rules to my wife each night and for me it is one of the highlights of my day and a great way for me to end it.
Obedience is something that comes naturally to a submissive, but often because our society overwhelmingly imposes an equality standard, us submissives need your help in having our obedience to you to be true. If you will enjoy training, we will enjoy being taught to tune into your wants and you will find your submissive husband quickly enjoying following your directions the way you like to see him.




SH, I somewhat agree with this but I have to take exception to your comments about disregarding the subs needs and desires.
ReplyDeleteLike any relationship both of you need to feel fulfilled. If the subs is serving as ordered and is not getting his needs met then he will harbor a resentment. We have all experienced this.
You yourself blogged about being ignored. We have all gone thru this. We do our chores, pamper our wifes, follow orders and get.... nothing. Soon you will resent doing these things and if you don't communicate your needs then you'll just walk around angry and resentful.
Dommes have a responsibilty as well to keep thier subs engaged and happy. Orgasm control is not really a lot of fun if you are not teased or brought to some sort of arrousal. IT can take many forms but if the sub is not keep aroused then it's more like hen pecking than a FLR.
The sub will soon feel more like he is being used and less like this is an FLR.
The Dommes/wife do have a hand in keeping us engaged and keeping our desire to serve in place.
We are the buttons but we do need button pushers to make this work.
Mr. 4EH,
ReplyDeletethx for the comment. It is well thought out and I appreciate the contribution.
I failed to communicate in the post that the suggestion you mention was in the context of an initial transition where obedience would be instilled in the new dynamic. I apologize for this oversight. You are, of course correct, that a submissive has needs. Principally, feeling the authority of their dominant. The ways you mention are common and of course there are others. Thank you for taking the time to correct me in this respect and glad you otherwise agree.
take care.

Hi,
ReplyDeleteFor me the real benefit was that with me taking on a lot of the day to day stuff and in reality taking a huge load off my wife that she regained her labido. She used to make excuses for not reaching orgasm. One phrase was that she was a slow oven.
Now she would let me have sex with her but she would just lie there. So I would reach orgasm but it was all physical. No mental stuff.
Now it is around the the other way. I get to reach orgasm only maybe once a month. But in between so much more attention from her. The little tease. The arousal I get when she gives me an instruction. Absolutely her riding astride me with me on my back and she coming to orgasm and her having told me that I will not and am not to cum. Wispering I love you in my ear or sending me a suggestive text at work. Heaps more interaction.
Now she does not want me to be seen as weak or even babyish. She likes me strong and muscley. She will joke in front of me to my friends and hers that I will do anything for her and that she is in charge and that too is a turn on because it means that we are both understanding that there is a leader and a follower in the relationship.
I also like that she is controlling my food. I am much fitter than I would have ever been without her control. I no longer just get snacks or even if I am out with mates, I don't get into the peanuts or the beer.
But if she were to ignore me or freeze me out then I just could not bear it. I think if she were to have a affair with another man, I would be devistated. But I have learned that she gets tourned on by the idea of kissing another woman. This actually turns me on too. Maybe because I do not see it as threatening. Just recently we went out with some friends of ours and we all had a little too much to drink and my wife and this other wife were kissing tongue and all. I was so turned on and so was she but the other womans husband was making some quite negative jelous coments. Anyway when we went home, we had great sex. She was so turned on and after satisfuing herself several times, she then let me cum and as she preferred we came together. (She hates me to cum now without her cuming).

Mitch,
ReplyDeleteit sounds like it is working well for the two of you.
;-}
as to loosing weight, I also find motivation to stay trim much easier now that I am a subservient. I do not know why. It just is another way I get my submissive pleasure met, I guess.
I too love the disparity of our sex life. It really does it for me too. Also, being used for her enjoyment in other ways. Last night was a nice long two hr massage while she watched a movie.

I love this post. My wife have been in a WLM for about 18 months and we love it. She always leaves me lists and when she returns from relaxing and shopping getting her nails done, she always points out areas that i could have done better. To which i respond by kissing her feet and asking for forgiveness. I try to do better next time. I love being a slave to Her
ReplyDeleteservant hubby sean
Mr. Sean,
ReplyDeleteHello and glad you like it.
I can imagine that your wife so enjoys coming home from getting her nails done and some shopping to you accepting her criticism by removing her sandal and enjoying kissing her feet. To see her husband cowering under her authority knowing she has any liberty she wishes has to be satisfying for her and you to be able to provide her that enjoyment. It is making my heart skip thinking about it with my wife too.
I too am very thankful for the opportunity of servitude to my wife’s authority and her acceptance of my need to feel her dominance over me. It is a way of life we both enjoy the benefits of and continue to grow to appreciate as time goes by.

BTW, how is the curve working out for you. I used a CB-6Ks for awhile.
Hi SH:
ReplyDeleteI am finding that obedience is coming more naturally to me as time progresses and Her Majesty increasingly expects it of me. She does make the rules in our house even if they are not clearly written and posted on the fridge. Sometimes it's a bit like navigating a mine field without a map but I am getting better at figuring out what she wants as time progresses. Then she changes it up just to keep me guessing!! ;-)
Recent developments in our wife led marriage include me turning over our son's educational development strictly to her and officially taking a back seat. I have also told her about the blog...yikes! Not sure she is all that interested in reading it though. I'm going to link back to you in my Kindred Spirits portion in hopes that it may win me some brownie points with her. You're such a good Subbie Hubbie after all! ;-)
Your blog is going great! Congrats and keep up the good work! :-)
Best
HMP
Mr. HMP,
ReplyDeleteNothing like airing out the skeletons in the closet to bring an uncomfortable silence to the conversation……
Lol…..lol….lol…..lol…lol
Tear….
Lol…lol…lolllll!!!!!!
Best wishes with Her Majesty’s service. She is deserving and you are lucky to have her give you opportunities to do so. Enjoy

"To start off, a husband will come into a D/s relationship with expectations on the way it will go. It is important that these be ignored and replaced with teaching him to follow your expectations."
ReplyDeleteI don't think it's wrong if someone - even the submissive in a FLR - has expectations. It's normal and natural to have expectations. There is nothing wrong about that.
I am not saying that the dominant partner should always fullfill them (that would be topping from the bottom), I am not saying that sub's expectations prevail, but to ignore them completely sounds a bit too radical for me. I any loving relationship both partners are important and both partners have to be mindful of each other - and a relationship with a power exchange is no different.
So needs, desires and even suggestions of the submissive shouldn't be a taboo, in my opinion. If he expresses them respectfully and without putting pressure on domme, it's okay. Why not? Even dominants can be generous.
Anon,
ReplyDeleteI do recommend in the initial phase that the sub's expectation be ignored while the wife gets aclimated. I believe it to be a better course to a smooth transistion. Once comfortable, the wife could, of course, entertain the husbands wants. In the initial phase though, I do recommend they be ignored.
-SH
Mhm, and upon what grounds? To make it easier for the wife? To prevent any insecurities and self-doubts while she is exploring the dominant role? Or why exactly do ou recommend this?
ReplyDeleteI admit sometimes it's not easy to exert this new kind of leadership. And yes, I see the danger of 'topping from the bottom' in the initial phase of a relationship if the wife is not yet accostomed to her dominant role.
However if the needs and expectations of the submissive are ignored completely and his desires are not met at all... this can easily lead to an unfulfilling relationship and (negative) frustration. In this cases the results may be not mutual satisfaction, but rather disappointment, unhappiness and perhaps even regret.
I doubt this is better than 'topping from the bottom' and I doubt this is a good start in a "new" relationship.
Wouldn't it be better to strike a balance? The dominant partner should have the possibility to grow in his/her leaderposition and the submissive should support him/her, but that does not mean that sub's needs are unimportant (as long as he/she stays respectful and polite).
I admit I never had a relationship with a beginner-dom, but it seems somehow cruel to me to forget the desires of the submissive completely. I would agree with you to a certain degree, but I also see here a danger of disregard and frustration. How can a new D/s-couple deal with these problems?
Anon,
ReplyDeletejust in the initial phase. Long term inclusion of the submissive's wants/needs is an important process and also opens healthy communications.
At the start, I do feel it best for the submissive to learn to hold thier tonge and the dom to explore the new position. Once comfortable, then bit-by-bit, inclusion of the sub's ideas when warrented.
