Following Through

I've played with enough subs to know these next two suggestions are golden, whether you're in a time restricted relationship or not. Every situation is different and everyone has their limits, but as far as general advice goes, this is some of my best. These will help keep your dominant role both strong and rewarding.

My first suggestion is, always follow through with what you say. This is harder than it sounds, but nothing shows your dominance like following through. Not to mention, one of the worst feelings is telling a sub you are going to do something to him, only to have have him laugh thinking it's a joke or shrug it off in disbelief. Following through not only prevents this, but ensures you are taken seriously. Any threats will be taken to heart. Your words will be much more intense and sexy.

Part of this is learning how to say things in ways that leave you options. Above all else, be careful with absolutes. They can put you in a difficult spot when you're short on time or otherwise don't want to follow through. If the rule or demand might be hard to follow, give an out, an alternative. One example being, "or you won't come for a week."

Another element is remembering what you said. If you have a tendency to forget things then make notes. You could send them to yourself in an email or save them on your phone or desktop. I also suggest you get your sub help. Threaten to punish him if you forget something and he doesn't remind you. You could test him occasionally by pretending to forget.

If you're short on time or the task is too difficult for you or your sub, play with the semantics and technicality of what you said. If you said, "If you come now I'm going to make you eat your own cum." And your sub comes, but you're in no position to follow through, say "OK, I warned you. Just wait until next time, I'm going to make you eat your own cum." It's hard for some men to eat their cum after orgasm; if you think you might have trouble with this, make him eat some pre-cum when you're playing and tell him this is his punishment. If you play with semantics and technicalities too often your sub may try the same thing "But technically..." To which I suggest you respond, "You know what I meant!"

My second suggestion, is to make your sub follow through with unfulfilled fantasies. Not only will you and your sub find this satisfying, but it's a bonding experience as well. Most men immediately lose interest in anything kinky the second they orgasm. This rules out any fantasies that outlast the orgasm itself. This commonly includes fantasies such as eating their own cum (straight, cream pie, etc.), and post orgasm torture. The other type of fantasies that don't get followed through with are ones which prevent full or frequent orgasms. This includes orgasm denial, chastity (devices), and ruined orgasm fantasies.

You should never feel bad about making someone go through with their fantasies, even if they don't want to follow through at the exact moment it's needed. Tell them what you are going to do or make them do while you're playing. Remind them throughout the session. If they know you are serious (see my first suggestion), this will make them much more hard and excited. And that right there is all the proof you need to follow through. They will immediately think about what happened next time they get horny. You will be tied to their fantasies. Next time they're masturbating and that fantasy pops up, it will be you they are thinking about.

  1. I know EXACTLY what your talking about, sometimes when I try to make a sexy comment it gets a laugh. It makes me feel HORRIBLE. The problem is I have been nitpicking what I follow through with for so long, how can I change his expectations now?

    Lately we've been trying to get him to eat his own come, but after he comes and I tell him to lick it up we both end up laughing. That laugh doesn't bother me because were laughing together, but how can I make him eat his come?

  2. Depending on how long you've been together it might take a while before he takes your sexual threats or comments seriously. There is one trick though. Tell him the truth. But phrase it like a warning instead of an epiphany. Tell him you want to be taken seriously and you are going to start following through with threats and whatever else you might say. And that this is his only warning. That's sexy, and if you are indeed following through his attitude will change quickly. He might even try to test you, don't be mad at him if he does, just be careful with what you threaten.

    Another way to help him take you seriously is to start doing something, well, something serious. If you haven't already, I suggest sitting down with him and ordering a chastity device and putting him on a masturbation schedule. They work great together and are very easy to follow through with on your end, but will be a big deal for him.

    As for getting him to eat his own cum, I'll make today's post about that. Thanks for the idea.

  3. Wow thanks for the answer. Sorry I didn't reply sooner I only seem to check this sort of thing at work... *blushes*

    I think I'll follow your suggestion with the chastity and masturbation stuff but to make sure its something I can deal with I'm not going to tell him he has to wear the cb when I'm not around till I've done it and know its doable.

    Thanks also for the cum eating post. The cube tray is a great idea. Your brilliant!

  4. You are so right! Follow through is probably the best tool in your Domme tool box. There are many things I had fantaszied about, and the follow through never happened. At the time I was very happy about the follow through not happening as some of my fantasies are rather nasty or difficult. On the few occasions I have had the follow through happen, I was mortified and in some cases angry or disgusted, but when I think back to those times I am amazingly turned on. The follow through is not only erotic (eventually). It let's me know my Domme will do as she says and I had better obey. It's also true power exchange which is what this all about anyway.

  5. On switching...
    As a "learner" Domme, I find this advice incredibly useful...my sub is a switcher (as am I) and he can be very devious, often trying to bottom top me. He will refuse instructions and laugh saying I can do nothing to make him do what I demand. I am reassured by your comment that this could be because we have not been together very long and our play is in it's early stages. I also wonder if he thinks he can get away with this as when we are not playing he knows I am very compassionate. BUT the chastity device is ordered (he will collect as sub) and I will now use following through to show him I mean business. My lingering concern is will the fact that we enjoy switching roles always stand in the way of his obedience?
