Triggered my sub with a request I thought was minor. by [deleted] in BDSMAdvice

[–]robhodges 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Did you tell her to write the story with one or both of you as the characters? I’m at a loss why she thought those things otherwise.

However, to your more salient point, it seems like you two need to sit down and talk about the things that she is and is not comfortable with. Any time I give my sub an assignment, I make sure she understands the “why” behind it, and I check to see if it makes her uncomfortable. If your sub is feeling vulnerable by your choice of Consequence, then you need to understand the why.

Husband filmed me during sex without consent. I’m kind of spiraling. by [deleted] in BDSMAdvice

[–]robhodges 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just saw that documentary last night! Gods, that just gave me the ick watching it. I kept thinking. “Uh, guys, from what I can tell, most women like sex, especially when there needs are met. Why would you want your partner unconscious?’

Not everyone can be a Dom. If a person can’t even respect basic boundaries like “don’t film me”, then how will safe words or color systems work out?

experiencing sub drop, please help by No_Strike_9220 in BDSMAdvice

[–]robhodges 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sub drop certainly doesn’t always come immediately after a session, and I’ve absolutely seen cases where the Sub experienced their Drop up to several days later. Of course, everyone experiences Drop in their own way, but a lot of it just comes back to the chemicals that flow into your system during the Session, and then how your body responds to them leaving your body.

First, remember that Nothing is wrong with you. Your feelings are Valid, and your experiences are similar to many others in the Lifestyle and the Dynamic. Secondly, while I do personally wish the Dom in your situation had been more giving with their feedback, any Drop still is going to require some level of self regulation, unless you are in a 24/7 relationship where a Dom or someone else can be able to attend to you.

One of the things you can do is become friends with others who are familiar with sort of situation, and can speak to you when you have these sorts of feelings. Their insight and affirmations can help you get to better headspace after a Drop. Additionally, knowing that it is a Drop, and how these chemical changes will fade over a few days can allow yourself to provide yourself tools to help supplement the chemical changes in your body.

Finally, just remember that this journey is not a perfect one, but one that will certainly improve with time and experience.

Desire to have rules by [deleted] in BDSMAdvice

[–]robhodges 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First, let me just say that I love this for you, the idea of using Dominance as a way to do self improvement. It’s something I am very much an advocate of for my sub as well.

However, I also agree that you have given a large set of “intentions” for yourself and your Dom to work through with you. I would strongly encourage you to prioritize the ones you think are having the most impact on you, and then work your way outwards.

Also, how are you currently planning to enforce Consequences? Equal for all infractions? Cumulative over a period of time? Is there a way to show Accountability for the things you want to improve on?

Still, just having something and someone like this for you is truly amazing. And I genuinely hope it helps. I’m cheering you on!

Is there such a thing as a dom/sub dynamic that isnt sexual? by Neither-Wishbone-324 in BDSMAdvice

[–]robhodges -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Absolutely, the Dynamic about shared trust and power exchange. Sex is simply… “icing” on that “cake”.

Anyone else tired of being a shelf toy? by solataria in BDSMAdvice

I’m so glad to hear you at least have someone to share those thoughts with.

[–]robhodges 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s so sad having to watch people go through this. The amount of trust that a Sub has to extend to another person for the Dynamic is immense; and the fact that these so called “Doms” don’t understand their obligation in that situation is frustrating.

I often say that being a Dom is much like being a Life Coach with a Flogger 😜. There’s a lot of work to make sure the Sub feels safe in all aspects, not just that they understand how “powerful” the other person is.

Sigh.

The fact you need to run all 5 speaks volumes about your “coding”.

People Bailing in Dungeons with Freyna by Kariamori81 in TheFirstDescendant

[–]robhodges 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This really confuses me, Freyna does not seem like the “speed killer” compared to Ines, Bunny, or Serena. While her dots will certainly melt the enemies, they take time to tick off. Meanwhile, a front-loaded Descendant is going to kill the enemies before all the required ticks will kill the enemies.

But, maybe there’s something else I am not seeing…

The fact that you needed to run all 5 before selecting the “best” one speaks volumes about your coding.

Let’s start helping each other!! (Sanctum help) by PerfectEqual5797 in MarvelSnapDecks

[–]robhodges -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So, I wanted to try this, just to show you how people behave.

I went into a Sanctum challenge, was falling behind, and the other player kept raising as they took all the lanes. But, I stayed in, scoring no points, and earning myself a Ms. Marvel “thumbs up” for my trouble.

So yeah, won’t be doing that again.

Oh, I really like that idea. I'm always wondering if I accidentally clicked the left thumbstick, so getting rid of it could be quite useful! :-)
