BDSM Slave Training:  How To Get Into The Mood When Your Not Feeling It
=====================================================

Hi zecrets,
There is a question I received that I hear as a major complaint
from every sub I know.

Notes to self: Drop Your Mask and Be Authentic

Are you hiding from your Master? Too many submissives try to conceal their flaws and present a polished façade. Or they try to behave like they think "great" submissives do. When you try to be someone else, it erodes trust and effectiveness and causes people to question your true identity.

Shaking the Sugar Tree: Just Trust Me

In a very sincere voice with not a hint of arrogance or cockiness, He said, "Just trust Me."  Those are the words we often hear in movies just before something bad happens. And yet we are asked to trust our Master on a daily basis with our dreams, fantasies, well being, etc.   In a society where most tend to take control of their own lives, trusting one’s Master has become a cliché rather than a life-changing attitude towards our submission. We say it, but do we really mean it? And what does trusting your Master look like?

Quotes and Saying: A True Master

“A Master is not someone who merely revels in the benefits that he reaps from the power and control that he wields over his sub. A Master is not just an automaton who emotionally doles out orders and watches with amusement as his minions perform his bidding. A Master is not a person who only relishes the benefits that his superior status entitles him.

Quotes and Saying: Submission

“I do not want to be the leader. I refuse to be the leader. I want to live darkly and richly in my femaleness. I want a man lying over me, always over me. His will, his pleasure, his desire, his life, his work, his sexuality the touchstone, the command, my pivot. I don’t mind working, holding my ground intellectually, artistically; but as a woman, oh, God, as a woman I want to be dominated. I don’t mind being told to stand on my own feet, not to cling, be all that I am capable of doing, but I am going to be pursued, fucked, possessed by the will of a male at his time, his bidding.”
― Anaïs Nin

Quotes and Saying: Being Submissive

“It's hard for an educated woman to turn her head off. That's part of the joy of being a submissive. None of the decisions are yours. When you can't refuse anything and can't even move,

Quotes and Sayings: Pieces of Puzzle

"When we begin life, we are all given a puzzle -- each one very different, yet special. As we continue through our lives, we meet people and have some type of affect upon their life, as they do on ours. We share with them a piece of our puzzle and they share a piece of theirs, with us, in return.

Quotes and Saying: Trust and Faith

i was a wilting flower fading - You picked me up and told me who i am - i am Yours - trust and faith!

Quotes and Saying

The very instant that I saw You, did my heart fly to Your service; there resides, To make me slave to it; and for Your sake. — Shakespeare

Shake the Sugar Tree: Boogie Woogie

I guess we knew I would get to this topic eventually.  As I was reflecting on what to write on tonight I thought why not just get it out on the table because I am constantly in this spot.  Topping from the bottom.  A good submissive is one who submits to her Master’s leadership and authority in all areas of her life.  But sometimes she may say this while still trying to top from the bottom or taking the lead when it has not been given to her.
