Summer Vacation












I've been away far too long. M and I had a wonderful getaway this Summer. The two of us stayed in a great hotel over three days. I packed our black bag with my ropes, toys and the clothing I expected M to wear while in our room. She understood that crossing the threshold, she was to be bound by the protocol that guides our sessions. We had three days of intense exploration. M was a very good girl.

After Our First 90 Days

After our first 90 days, we've continued in our exploration. In order to provide a reference to our understanding I wrote the following letter to M, as guide to our continuing journey.

Dearest M,

I feel it important to state some guidelines that are derived from our last agreement. These represent the spirit as well as letter of our understanding. I intend to act with these in mind. I expect you to do so as well.

You give yourself to me as my sexual submissive.
You are available to me, whenever I choose to enjoy you.
You are to be prepared for my use, especially in mindset, at all times.
Your body belongs to me, to be used as seen fit by me
Take good care of yourself – exercise, diet, rest – I want you at your best

Your focus is on pleasing me sexually.
Do not hesitate when responding to me.
Be attentive to my needs and respond to them to the best of your abilities.
Offer yourself at least twice weekly – Saturday evening and one other time
during the week, selected by you.
Dress for me – heels, stockings and provocative clothing.
Keep your body clean, shaven and trimmed for me.

Embrace your submissive role
Engage in sessions with enthusiasm and a desire to please – active vs. passive
Remember your manners - polite requests are better received than demands
Communicate regularly with me as my submissive – use your journal at least weekly
Be open – share your thoughts, desires, concerns, pleasures
You will be given tasks or homework. You are expected to complete in a timely manner.
Accept any discipline I decide to administer.
Take joy in your submission – remember that this journey is about finding that intense
intimacy we both crave
Put yourself in my hands.


I encourage you to enjoy the intensity of the experience – let go and enjoy. We have an exciting journey ahead of us. I have such a craving for you.

Your adoring Sir,

A Gentle Reminder to M

I wrote to M, restating my expectations. Manners matter.

In many ways, these guidelines also reflect how we pursue our passions while living busy and full lives. You may notice that our intimacy moves to a more weekly rhythm. We both find this sustainable - it seems to fit us well.

Guidelines for My Good Submissive

Always be polite – remember your manners
In particular, remember to make requests, not demands
Kiss me passionately every day
Honor your Saturday commitments
Acknowledge my requests and directives
Make me a priority in your thoughts
Honor the spirit and letter of your commitment to me – Accommodate me
Be open – share your thoughts, desires, concerns, pleasures
Greet me as a lover should whenever we are reunited
Use your journal regularly – at least weekly
Take good care of yourself – exercise, diet, rest – I want you at your best
Take joy in your submission – remember that this journey is about finding that intense intimacy we both crave.

One of my first tasks with M was to introduce my expectations regarding etiquette. Following is my instruction to her:


Etiquette
For the most part, you have behaved wonderfully. You have been very good about following session directions. I have started to see you take some initiative in selecting shoes and clothing to please me. This makes me very happy.

Please remember the basic principles that should guide you:
Use Manners (be polite)
Provide appropriate acknowledgement
Show gratitude
Be succinct in words (not a problem for you)
When in doubt, question. When in need, request

I believe that reluctance on your part to use appropriate manners is due to some shyness or discomfort in accepting your position. We will continue to work on this.



M has responded well to these guidelines.

Evening Ritual

In our first weeks, I spent guiding M toward the basics of submissive behavior and the protocols that I expected. Our sessions were structured as more highly ritualized sessions.

On these nights, M retires to our bedroom, where I've made preparations. I usually select something for her to wear. I also write out a note to her, telling her how I want her to prepare. She bathes, dresses and readies herself. She lights our session candle - a single taper that is only lit on these evenings. Finally M puts on music, a CD I've created for our sessions, and kneels in front of a straight backed chair, placed in the center of the room. Her hands are to be behind her back, clenching opposite forearms. Her eyes are to downcast, focused on the spot where my feet would be when I sit in the chair.

The music is her call to me. I usually wait for some time, giving M the chance to focus on her submission. I eventually climb the stairs to her. I always pause behind her, kissing her neck and shoulder and whispering some sweet obscenity in her ear. I then take my seat in the chair. We both find the anticipation in this beginning to be intense and exciting.

When seated in front of M, I enjoy kissing her and tellling her how much I adore her. I also describe how I intend to use her that evening. A special treat for her is to be given a good spanking. Spanking is not considered a punishment with M - she enjoys it too much. I enjoy her response when I tell M she is to be given a spanking.

I enjoy introducing new practices and protocols in these sessions. We both find the ritualized approach creates a sense of stepping into another dimension. M has proven to be attentive and enthusiastic in her submission. Tonight is Saturday - I look forward to taking her again.

The Role of Our Contract in Our Beginning

In my last posting I listed our contract of sexual submission. For us, this has proved a very useful guide. As I introduced the idea of M becoming my submissive, the contract provided a clear understanding of what I expected.

I had worked to create a contract that fit both of us. For M, I knew that she needed reassurance that I loved, respected and adored her, even as she became my sexual submissive. Further, the contract had to acknowledge the reality of our daily lives, working around the professional and family obligations that often distracted us from one another, while creating an intensity when we came together.

A key aspect of the contract was the specific call out of times for M to offer herself to me. This has become an important part of making our experience a success. These sessions have become a time of higher protocol and ritual. I believe they are critical in maintaining a delicious sexual intensity between us throughout our week.

The contract allowed me to make very clear how I wanted her to present herself to me. I absolutely adore M in stockings and heels. This is more than a bit of a fetish for me. I enjoy selecting exactly what she is to wear for me. Needless to say, I've taken full advantage of gaining pleasure through her attire.

As we began our experience, the contract was often called upon to help guide us. It has been very helpful in reinforcing my expectations.

Beginning - A Contract of Sexual Submission

We began our journey by negotiating a Contract of Sexual Submission. We both came to terms rather quickly, although the negotiation was enjoyable. I will comment on the contract as an aid to us in future posts, but suffice to say, we found it a good way to make expectations clear.

Here is our contract:
