The first step is accepting that you need training.
The next step is asking someone that you think might be willing to train you for them to put the time and effort in to provide you their training.
The next step is to discuss all of the elements of what training would include and negotiating together so that the greatest chances of success and fulfillment from training become possible.
Then, you will have to work together in order to create and fine-tune a practice that reflects both of your needs, goals, and enjoyment.
Then you will have to do the work. Both of you. Training takes time and energy and focus to create appropriate systems and practices. Being trained takes time and energy and focus to put the effort in that is required in order for the practice to become effective in helping you reach your goals.
Regular discussion about how things went in past experiences and sessions is essential to fine-tuning future practices.
Training is as much an art, as it is a practice, and the only way for the art aspect of it to blossom is to be sincere and give it access to your heart. Dedication to practice can, through sincerity, open the heart to true enjoyment and artistry, and it is OK for that to be the pathway.
I like this, although I also like the varying intersecting m/f symbols used as a venn diagram of play interests, although that is less covert.
Glad to see many of these are still working links.
I thought I would update the list of BDSM links and resources I posted a while ago, as some links were no longer working and I had several new ones to add, including a list of books. These should be particularly helpful to those who are new to BDSM and looking to explore D/s relationships, as the best way to go about that is to first read everything you can and then read even more! Not only will this allow you to educate yourself, help keep you safe and avoid any potential mistakes or regrets, but also the more you understand something, the less intimidating it will seem.
If you have anything to add, please don’t hesitate to let me know and I will update this list, in particular if there any books that a submissive might find helpful or informative, as most of the books I have read or included are intended for Dominants.
Note: For the sake of consistency and readability, I have used capitals throughout this document and have not used lower case when referring to submissives or slaves.
Websites:
Babygirls ‘n’ Daddy Doms: Website dedicated to littles, babygirls and Daddy Doms, with a lot of useful information on the subject.
Collarme: A free BDSM dating website and community, that is probably the most popular and a better option than the commercial alternatives.
DS Arts: Academy of DS Arts, fairly self explanatory.
Evil Monk: Ambrosio’s BDSM Website, featuring many useful articles.
Fetlife: An online BDSM community that I would highly recommend and which is perhaps best described as Facebook for the kinky, allowing users to create a profile, publish photos or writing and join interest groups where you can ask questions.
Kink Academy: An online resource with many educational and instructional videos on various aspects of BDSM, although users must pay a small fee to access all of the content.
Submissive Guide: As the name suggests, this is an online resource for submissives.
The Iron Gate: A general BDSM online resource, with many aticles, essays and even stories on the subject.

Vacuous and ignorant use of multiple fallacies is a typical form of self defense for those needing to pretend they have a biological right above others as a mask for their lack of ability to earn it.
The “bounces off of me and sticks to you” rebuttal from this oddly flailing patriarchy blog is just a little icing on the cake of the deflective and self absorbed dysfunction inherent in patriarchy obsessed nonsense peddlers.
Make it make sense…
Feminism means that every woman has an intrinsic right to choose any kind of sexual energy that she wants for herself in her life.
To all those who are or want to be Vixens . . .
There is nothing wrong with having an abuse kink, a trauma kink, a choking kink, or with getting high.
That being said, however, there are potentially harmful and inappropriate aspects of any / all of these which it is important to keep in mind for personal safety reasons.
Abuse and trauma kinks are in the realm where awareness regarding creating harm to another or self harm are things that should be monitored for to make sure that these scenarios are indeed kink explorations and not harm scenarios.
Choking is something that can go unexpectedly wrong very quickly because the harm in one scenario is not the same as another scenario. The experiences could be visually and experientially equivalent, while unseen damage is being done and this damage can go from ok to life threatening/altering harm without either person knowing it. Choking should never be done alone.
Getting high changes a person’s situational awareness and ability for risk assessment. Combining getting high with other kinks always creates potential for harm and as such always requires a significant amount of advance consent discussion.
Have fun - stay well informed.
You go too long without practice and your mind strays deep into the shame of your failure to become better.
When the time comes for you to perform you lack focus, skill, and self control. The depraved pornographic imagery and stories your cunt craves embarrasses you in no small part because of instantly it makes you wet, and how easily it makes you cum.
You’ve watched women getting off on being drugged. Gangfucked in dirty public bathrooms. Toilet licking whores getting ass fucked while prettier women hold their faces in the piss water. Brides crawling down the aisle having been collared in a ceremony before her friends and family. You have watched women slap and spank themselves. Write words of self degradation on their bodies only to turn on their camera for an anonymous audience who encourages her to fuck herself on her bedpost in aroused desperation. Public displays of women enthusiastically obeying their owners demands that they hand over their panties to strangers. Orgies of people fucking in nightclubs for swingers. You have watched women suck and fuck horse cocks until they cum all over their faces and inside them.
You have imagined yourself lead, leashed by the collar to the center of a gangbang of strangers. Load after load of cum being dumped into your aching and well used ass and pussy. Smeared across your face. Swallowing for any that will allow you to show your sincere appreciation for being used.
You excitedly watch as subs find and leap into the deep hole that their masters help them into and you want it to be you. By the time your undisciplined arousal looks you deep into the eye your orgasm has abated and your shame keeps you in hiding from the truth until next your craven need demands the filth that pushes you into blissful oblivion.
Practice under direct training so you don’t have to do anything but skillfully obey and develop ever more accurate anticipation of what he wants.
Does he get off on you crawling and licking his boots? Don’t confuse the fact that you want to do something with a mistaken belief that it is because he wants it. So, you want to be told to crawl and to lick his boots. He provides that to you as an opportunity for you to use what you like as a way to get and stay turned on while showing him your utter adoration and fully undivided attention. That serving him with your attention, adoration, and arousal is really what he wants. He wants to push you through challenges while you prove you can maintain yourself.
There it is. There is the practice.
Whatever it may be for you, use that brainstorming as a template to figure out what to do, how to do it, when to practice it, who to practice with, and most importantly WHY.
Beg l, while being sincerely adoring of him and his patience, for your partner/owner to give you another lesson, another chance to learn, a deeper discussion. Beg for the training you so obviously need. The training that will open up the doors for you to experience the kinks that make you cum in your fantasies.
Follow through.
Train.
Practice.
Support your partner/Dominant/owner’s efforts to teach you, to guide you, to liberate you from the societal lie that your sexual identity is to be hidden away when in fact what should be done is this:
Develop it.
Celebrate it.
Appreciate it.
Share it.
Embrace it.
Empower it.
Explore it.
PRACTICE IT.
Become ever more of the sexually adventurous story that gets you and your partner off.
Go to swing clubs. Create networks of new friends by becoming the fun people who are consistent about being at events where you can grow and practice your kinks. Practice between parties so your confidence is high. Let your partner contribute to the skills you learn so you are pleasing to each other. Support their kinks by manifesting and embodying those you can accept and embrace, and expect support from them for your own.
No parties like that around? Host them.
Figure it out. Priorities demand you embrace the time it takes to invest in creating the sexual adventures of your daydreams.
Be patient and consistent while your partner learns how to lead you. Teach and guide them toward what you need as part of your communication and practice.
Become a successful source of education and inspiration for each other and those who will follow behind you.
More than all of that, though, grow your relationship by delving deeply and consistently into the communication and trust required of these adventures together.
Love is an adventure, and you are entitled to experience the sex life you dream up together.
My favorite thing about introducing edging and denial is the predictability of the events that follow:
You’re in utter disbelief that someone would actually deny an orgasm.
Then comes the anger and frustration. How dare someone try to keep you from your orgasm! Perhaps some attitude will need correcting at this stage.
Soon you’ll be begging. Bartering. Negotiating. Trying anything to prove that you deserve that orgasm.
Maybe you’ll cry when you finally realize that it’s truly out of your control. You have no influence. Your body and its pleasure are no longer a priority or even relevant to the conversation.
And when kept denied, you’ll realize: you’re better without an orgasm. You’re a better sub, better plaything, better toy. You’re more obedient. Your partner knows what you need better than you, and you realize they were right: you don’t need to orgasm.
Then the addiction starts.
The neediness in your body settles as a new default state of being… you would feel empty without it. Directionless.
And suddenly, the same sub who said they could *never* handle be denied is confessing that being told no feels better than being allowed to orgasm.
Consent is the essential element that makes scenarios possible. I’ll clarify and make more peominent this part of my bio given some ego-centric tools seem to think they matter to me: I write simply for my own practice putting thoughts into text. Nothing I write is about nor for anyone else save for myself and my partner in practice.Additionally: Feminism in BDSM is the essential idea that a person of any gender can only participate as a submissive in BDSM if they start from a position of respected equality Married over 40No DM’s
