{"input": " Q: Who wrote the foreword for the book \"The Sexually Dominant Woman\"?\nA: Midori, a renowned sex educator and author, wrote the foreword for the book \"The Sexually Dominant Woman\".\n\nQ: What is the tone of the foreword?\nA: The foreword is written in a friendly and approachable tone, with Midori addressing the reader directly and sharing her personal experiences with kink and BDSM.\n\nQ: What is the purpose of the foreword?\nA: The purpose of the foreword is to introduce the reader to the topic of sexual dominance and to provide some context for the rest of the book. Midori emphasizes that the book is written for beginners, and that it is meant to be a practical guide for exploring new pleasures. She also acknowledges that there is a lot of information online that can be overwhelming or inaccurate, and encourages readers to take things with a grain of salt.\n\nQ: What are some of the personal experiences that Midori shares in the foreword?\nA: Midori shares her own experiences with kink and BDSM, including using terry cloth belts from hotel bathrobes as bondage gear and pretending to be a saloon madam with a feather in her hair. She also talks about the challenges of figuring out the \"right ways\" and \"wrong ways\" to engage in kink play, and the importance of having experienced friends to provide guidance and support.\n\nQ: What is the definition of BDSM that Midori provides in the foreword?\nA: While most people define BDSM by expanding the acronym, Midori provides her own definition: \"It's about joyous childhood play, with adult sexual privilege and cool toys.\" She also suggests that people think of it as \"playing cops-and-robbers with shagging!\" She emphasizes that the purpose of kink play is to have fun and to explore one's own desires and boundaries.", "response": "\n\n**FOREWORD** , **by Midori**\n\nHello!\n\nI'm glad you found this book \u2013 because you and your partner are about to explore new pleasures, and you deserve good friends to help you along the way. The woman who created this book, both in its original form and in this graphic version, is a kind, reliable and practical guide for your journey ahead.\n\nAre you totally new to kinky sexy fun? If so, this book is written for you!\n\nIf you already know how to use the tools, have some toys, are familiar with the terminologies and even had some kink fun, then this book is not for you. For you, there are many excellent books in the Greenery Press catalog as well as other resources. (Hey, check out my books while you're at it!)\n\nI wish I could sit down for tea with you and ask you what brought you here. Have you been curious about kink for a long time, or is this a newly sparked curiosity? Were you drawn in through a story or a video? Did a lover whisper secret desires to you? Was it something a friend commented or posted? We all come to these explorations from different places.\n\nOver a cup of oolong, I would find out what you hope to experience. Do you want to enjoy a bit of naughtiness? Are you hoping to ignite new levels of passions and pleasures? Would you like to just feel less lost and baffled? Seeking ways to make your partner's fantasies a reality? Each woman and each lover comes with different hopes and wants.\n\nSitting with you, I'd ask you about what you're apprehensive about. What are your concerns? What scares you? Are you feeling overwhelmed by all the information that's online and elsewhere? I know it's super overwhelming. The other worries you have, what are they? All good people start with various trepidations and concerns.\n\nSince we aren't able to sit down together today, this lovely little book will help you out, just like a sweet chat we'd have.\n\nWhen I was first exploring doing kinky things with and to my lover, we only had the most vague ideas. It was a bit of tying each other up and shagging. I remember one romantic getaway where we used terry cloth belts from the hotel bathrobes. At other times, a bit of rough sex got more bitey and scratchy than usual. It felt exhilarating, but we didn't have the words to describe the thrill and sense of danger.\n\nI remember visiting a former silver mining town in New Mexico with a lover. The wild-west history and lore fascinated me. With a few bits of fancy lingerie and feather or two in my hair, I pretended to be a bawdy saloon madam with a gentleman caller. I didn't come anything close to being dressed like a 19th century business-owning Western woman, but we didn't care - soon the lacy bits were strewn around the room anyway. I may have used the feather some way. I don't remember - it's all a blur now.\n\nI think I was much less inhibited when I didn't know anything. Once I figured out that there are specialized tools for this sort of sex games, and had a sliver of a clue that there are \"right ways\" and \"wrong ways\" to use the tools and make these games, I hesitated. I questioned. I doubted. I got baffled.\n\nThere was that one evening when I was using a flogger on my lover. (You'll find out about \"impact play\" and floggers later in this book.) They moaned. They swayed. They gasped. They thrust their cute butt out to me. All these were good for me and I understood they were having a good time. I felt like an erotic badass. Then a weird thing happened. They started to laugh. First, a chuckle. Then it grew into a full-bore rolling laugh. What was going on? Were they laughing at me? Did they think this was all stupid? My confidence was deeply shaken, just when I thought I was doing so well in pleasing both my sweetie and me. Upset, I reached out to a more experienced friend. She comforted me and then shed light on the situation.\n\n\"Honey, they're not laughing at you. They're just really high from all the good sensations. Sometimes people just do that, when they're overcharged with pleasure. You did good!\"\n\nIf she hadn't helped me through that experience, and put things into context, I might have been plagued with doubt and lack of confidence for a long time. That's not a feel-good way to carry on.\n\nWe all can benefit from good practical advice and perspective based on real life experiences.\n\nI know you'll come across a lot of information and images online. Today is indeed the golden age of kink information. The problem is that there's simply too much information and you have sort through a deluge of material. Sadly a lot of what passes for information is untested, fantasy-based, inaccurate, or just made up. So please take things with a grain of salt. If something sounds too slick, too perfect, too... too _anything_.... it might be more imagined than instructional. I think fantasy and kinky fiction is great \u2013 but it's not educational. It's like trying to learn how to drive from a car chase movie.\n\nEnjoy the fantasy! It's even more fun when you enjoy it with your partners. Talk about it and fantasize about it with your sweeties. Find out what about the fantasy you like, and let your self get inspired. You can have a sexy chat or sext about the fantasy and see how you can make some realizable part of it an addition to your sex life.\n\nSome people use the term \"BDSM\" for kink. Most people define that by simply expanding the acronym.\n\nB = Bondage\n\nD = Discipline or Dominance\n\nS = Sadistic desires or desire for Submission\n\nM = Masochistic wants or appetite for Mastery\n\nBut I actually don't find this definition all that useful to start with. (Yes, there will be more discussion and practical explanation of these words in the chapters to follow!)\n\nSo here's your Auntie Midori's definition of BDSM or kink sex:\n\nIt's about joyous childhood play, with adult sexual privilege and cool toys.\n\nOr, to put it another way: playing cops-and-robbers with shagging!\n\nThat's why we call it \"play.\"\n\nTo paraphrase the great Auntie Mame: Life is a playground, darling, and most poor folks are bored to death. So get playing!\n\nAffectionately yours,\n\nMidori\n\nFounder, ForteFemme Women's Intensive\n"}

As you get more experience and develop your knowledge and skills, you may choose to play outside these guidelines - with a full appreciation for the risks and rewards to be found there.\n\nI'd like to acknowledge all the people I've played with and learned from through the decades, particularly Jay and Dossie.

Provide examples of possible reasons for wanting to be sexually dominant, such as having a partner who wants this kind of play, having fantasies of sexual domination, or being fascinated by sexual domination.\n3.

If it weren't for its many rewards, I doubt people would bother with it. But there are rewards, and they can be pretty fabulous.\n\nMaybe your submissive partner can find joy in helping you with your everyday tasks.\n\nMaybe you can get the physical nurturing and care you've been craving.\n\nPerhaps you'd enjoy having the chance to apply a little... motivation.\n\nOr you're ready to get exactly what you want in bed.\n\nOr you'd like to experience being the belle of the ball (good female dominants are few and far between).\n\nAll these, and more, are excellent reasons to try sexual domination.\n\nSo, What's Holding You Back?\n\nIt's perfectly normal to feel nervous about the idea of dominating someone. That's just a sign that you're taking domination as seriously as it deserves.\n\nThere are some technical skills you'll need to learn. They're not as complicated as they seem, but you'll still need to give them careful attention and practice.\n\nStill not feeling it? Read on\u2014you may discover that some types of domination do hold a charge for you. But if you really, truly don't feel like doing sexual domination, don't let anybody push you into it.*\n\n* If you aren't interested in domination, but you have a partner who wants it, look in the resource guide at the back. There you'll find my suggestions for books and other resources that can help you find a way to manage this difference.\n\nRemember, dominance doesn't require that you look a certain way or dress a certain way.\n\nConfidence does help, though.

{"input": " Prompt: Write a section for a book about sexual dominance that helps the reader understand the different types of dominance and how to figure out what kind of Domme they want to be.\n\nThe section should:\n\n1. Explain that there are many ways to be a dominant woman, but most dominance falls into one or more of six basic categories.\n2. Provide examples of the six basic categories of dominance, such as service, sensation, bondage, fetish, and role-play.\n3. Encourage the reader to imagine themselves doing the different types of dominance and to pursue the ones that interest or arouse them.\n4. Mention that some people may be interested in more than one category, and that it's possible to have partners who are interested in a different category.\n5. Emphasize the importance of making sure the submissive partner's basic needs are met, even though it may seem like the dominant should always get their way.\n6. Provide resources for readers who want to learn more about the different types of dominance.\n\nHere is a possible response to the prompt:\n\nWhat Kind of Domme Do You Want to Be?\n\nThere are as many ways to be a dominant woman as there are dominant women\u2014which is to say, a lot. However, most dominance falls into one or more of six basic categories.\n\nAs you read about the different flavors of dominance, try to imagine yourself doing them. The ones that interest or arouse you are the ones you'll want to pursue.\n\nSome of us see appeal in more than one category. Some of us will have partners who are interested in a different category, and will thus have to figure out kinds of play that appeal to both ourselves and our partners.\n\nYes, I know it seems as though the dominant should always get her way, but dominance is a lot trickier than that. Remember, you want to be able to play with them more than once, which means you need them to come back for more\u2014and few will do that if they didn't get their basic needs met during the first scene.\n\nService\n\nIn this kind of dominance, the sub pleases the domme by taking care of one or more of her needs. Service can range from housekeeping and clerical chores to sexual service, and beyond.\n\nSensation\n\nIf your fantasies of domination include giving your partner intense or painful sensations, this style is for you. Sensation can be given as part of erotic play, as \"funishment,\" as a way of achieving an ecstatic state, as an emotional release, and more.\n\nBondage\n\nBondage involves tying your partner so that they feel a sense of helplessness and you feel a sense of power. You don't need to be a former Girl Scout\u2014good bondage requires only a couple of easy-to-learn knots. Or, if knots aren't your thing, invest in some good restraints.\n\nFetish\n\nWhile fetish isn't technically BDSM, many BDSMers are attuned to one or more fetishes. You can give them a lot more fun if you build one or more of your or their fetishes into your play together.\n\nRole-Play\n\nIf you have a yen for the theatrical, role-play may be for you. You and your partner can spend your time as a schoolmistress with an unruly student, a conqueror with a new slave, an interrogator with a stubborn captive, or anything else your imagination can conceive.\n\nIf You Want to Go Further...\n\nMistress Lorelei Powers's The Mistress Manual is particularly helpful for figuring out the archetypes that determine the \"flavor\" of your scene or relationship.\n\nJay Wiseman's SM 101: A Realistic Introduction is especially strong on safety information. The author is a switchable male dominant with insights for players of all genders.\n\nJohn and Libby Warren's The Loving Dominant is oriented toward male-dom relationships, but at least 90% of its information is useful to dominants of any gender or orientation.", "response": "\n\n**_WHAT KIND OF DOMME* DO YOU WANT TO BE?_**\n\nTHERE ARE AS MANY WAYS TO BE A DOMINANT WOMAN AS THERE ARE DOMINANT WOMEN \u2013 WHICH IS TO SAY, A LOT.

THE ONES THAT INTEREST OR AROUSE YOU ARE THE ONES YOU'LL WANT TO PURSUE.\n\nSOME OF US SEE APPEAL IN MORE THAN ONE CATEGORY. SOME OF US WILL HAVE PARTNERS WHO ARE INTERESTED IN A DIFFERENT CATEGORY, AND WILL THUS HAVE TO FIGURE OUT KINDS OF PLAY THAT APPEAL TO BOTH OURSELVES AND OUR PARTNERS.\n\nYES, I KNOW IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THE DOMINANT SHOULD ALWAYS GET HER WAY, BUT DOMINANCE IS A LOT TRICKIER THAN THAT. REMEMBER, YOU WANT TO BE ABLE TO PLAY WITH THEM MORE THAN ONCE, WHICH MEANS YOU NEED THEM TO COME BACK FOR MORE \u2013 AND FEW WILL DO THAT IF THEY DIDN'T GET THEIR BASIC NEEDS MET DURING THE FIRST SCENE.\n\n* A SHORTER WAY OF SAYING \"FEMALE DOMINANT.\" IT'S PRONOUNCED \"DOM\" (NOT \"DOM-MAY\").

{"input": " Prompt: Write a section for a book about sexual dominance that emphasizes the importance of safety and consent in kink play.\n\nThe section should:\n\n1. Explain that learning how to manage the physical and emotional risks of kink is essential to being a responsible player.\n2. Mention that kinksters call conversations about boundaries and desires \"negotiation,\" and suggest thinking of them as \"collaborative planning.\"\n3. Encourage the reader to start negotiations with an agreement that neither partner will laugh at or act grossed out by the other's desires.\n4. Provide an example of a negotiation exercise called \"Yes/No/Maybe,\" in which both partners brainstorm every possible activity and mark each one with a \"Y\" for \"Yes,\" an \"N\" for \"No,\" or an \"M\" for \"Maybe.\"\n5. Explain that a \"No\" from either partner means that activity is off the table for now, while a \"Maybe\" means that the activity needs to be discussed further.\n6. Emphasize that the list of \"Y\" and \"M\" answers is the blueprint for scenes together.\n7. Advise the reader to reach an agreement about how to let each other know if something goes wrong during play, and to discuss the use of a safeword if necessary.\n8. Warn the reader not to try to do sexual dominance if either partner is intoxicated or high, as the vast majority of kink accidents and consent violations happen when one or both players have been using intoxicants.\n9. Mention that specific safety concerns and ways to minimize risks will be discussed throughout the book.\n\nHere is a possible response to the prompt:\n\nFundamentals: Safety & Consent\n\nThe reason people buy and read books like this is that kink has a built-in set of physical and emotional risks\u2014and learning how to manage those risks is essential to being a responsible player.\n\nAt first, some of these processes will feel a little unnatural: few of us grew up with good models for talking about sex. Finding out ahead of time about what each of you wants and does not want gets easier with practice, though.\n\nKinksters call such conversations \"negotiation,\" which makes them sound dull. In fact, they can be anything but. I prefer to think of them as \"collaborative planning,\" in which each of you can share your fantasies, desires, and limits so that you can craft a scene that will be as much fun as possible for both of you.\n\nNegotiation can feel very vulnerable, though. I strongly suggest you start with an agreement that neither of you will laugh at, or act grossed out by, the other's desires.\n\nIf you feel stuck about what kinds of things you can negotiate, you can find long, detailed lists in books and on the internet. However, many sex therapists prefer an exercise called \"Yes/No/Maybe.\"\n\nBoth of you sit down with a big sheet of paper and brainstorm everything two people can possibly do in sex or kink. Don't hold back. Then, each of you takes a different colored pen and marks each item with a \"Y\" for \"Yes,\" an \"N\" for \"No,\" or an \"M\" for \"Maybe.\"\n\nA \"No\" from either of you means that activity is off the table for now, without argument. You can always revisit the list later to see if anyone's feelings have changed.\n\n\"Maybe\" means \"if I were turned on enough\" or \"if it felt safe enough\" or \"if you warm me up first\" or whatever. These are the items you need to discuss.\n\nThe list of \"Y\" and \"M\" answers is the blueprint for your scenes together.\n\nYou should reach an agreement about how to let each other know if something goes wrong. If you're not into pretend nonconsent, a simple \"stop\" or \"no\" works fine. But if your partner likes to be able to shout \"no stop please\" without ending the scene, you'll need a safeword.\n\nA safeword can be any word or signal that wouldn't ordinarily come up during play. Many kinksters use \"red\" to mean \"stop right now,\" \"yellow\" to mean \"please slow down or ease up,\" and \"green\" to mean \"all systems go!\" And remember, safewords aren't just for subs\u2014a dominant can get triggered, overwhelmed, or sick, and that means you need a safeword too.\n\nDo not try to do sexual dominance if either you or your partner is intoxicated or high.

{"input": " Prompt: Write a section for a book about sexual dominance that discusses the fundamentals of bondage, including the reasons people do bondage, the safety considerations, and the different types of bondage.\n\nThe section should:\n\n1. Explain that bondage is not just about restriction, but that people do bondage for various reasons such as restriction, decoration, sensation, and roleplaying.\n2. Emphasize the importance of discussing goals and desires before engaging in bondage.\n3. Warn the reader that bondage is riskier than many other forms of kink and that it requires some time and effort to learn how to do it safely and well.\n4. Provide safety tips for bondage, such as checking bound parts periodically for coldness and numbness, avoiding placing bondage across the front of the neck, and not using stockings for bondage.\n5. Advise the reader on the use of gags and blindfolds, including the risks associated with them and how to communicate non-verbally if a gag is used.\n6. Discuss the different types of bondage in detail, including restrictive bondage, decorative bondage, bondage for sensation, and roleplay bondage.\n7. Provide instructions on how to tie simple knots for bondage, such as the larkhead and square knot.\n8. Recommend additional resources for further learning on bondage, such as books and online resources.\n\nHere is a possible response to the prompt:\n\nFundamentals: Bondage\n\nIt might seem like \"bondage is bondage.\" But actually, people do bondage for a number of reasons.\n\nSome people like restrictive bondage - the kind that feels like they can't get out unless you untie them. Others like decorative bondage, that sets off their best features in a handsome frame of rope. Bondage can be used for sensation, hugging tight against sensitive bits and making them tingle. Bondage can be used in roleplaying: pirates and sailors, soldiers and captives, cops and robbers - whatever narrative takes your fancy.\n\nIt's important to discuss your goals ahead of time. Otherwise, it might be that your partner needs inescapable bondage to feel secure, and you've just carefully knotted a full-body decorative harness that doesn't impede their movement at all. I'm sure you can see the problem.\n\nPlay safe\n\nMany people think of bondage as an \"easy,\" entry-level kink activity. But it's riskier than many other forms of kink - which simply means that you need to spend a little bit of time and effort learning how to do it safely and well.\n\nTo be sure that you're not cutting off circulation anywhere, check the bound part periodically for coldness and numbness.\n\nConsider acquiring a set of restraints. Nylon ones are available in erotic boutiques and on the internet, and are quite affordable.\n\nIf you're working with rope, make sure that you spread the pressure over a wide enough area. I'll explain how on p. 40.\n\nPlay safe\n\nDo not place bondage across the front of anyone's neck.\n\nAvoid placing bondage over places on the body where there is little fat or muscle protecting skin and nerves. Most joints are not good places for bondage.\n\nOne place to be especially careful is the unprotected \"notch\" between the wristbone and the base of the thumb.\n\nPlay safe\n\nDo not use stockings for bondage. They can tighten down into a narrow, abrasive surface that can cut into skin. In general, if you use any household item for bondage, be prepared to cut it off - so if you don't want to cut it off, don't use it.\n\nI don't recommend handcuffs, either. The edge of the cuff can press into the base of the thumb and damage the nerves there. If you decide to try handcuffs, buy real ones with double locks to prevent them from tightening, and use the double locks.\n\nAnd never, ever leave a helpless bound person alone for more than a quick run to the bathroom.\n\nPlay safe\n\nAlways have the proper tools on hand to release someone quickly in case of emergencies.* For rope and light restraints, \"paramedic shears\" - which are meant to cut through seatbelts and other tough materials - work great. If you're using toys with locks, get a locksmith to key them all to the same key, and keep a backup key in a safe, memorable place. If you're using chains or cuffs, get bolt cutters.\n\n* Not just play emergencies. If there were an earthquake, tornado, or fire when your partner is in bondage, how long would it take you to get them out?\n\nPlay safe\n\nGags can be fun, but they carry some extra risks. First, you must make sure that your partner has some way to communicate that they need the scene to change or stop. If you're using a gag, be sure to agree on a non-verbal safeword, such as three grunts, or a squeaky toy or ring of keys that will make a sound if dropped.\n\nNever, ever use a gag that your partner could inhale or swallow. Any mouth stuffing must be attached to the part that ties around your partner's head, with an attachment too sturdy to be bitten through.\n\nMany commercial gags are too large for most mouths. If you buy a gag, start small. And before using a gag, make sure your partner's nose is not too stuffy to breathe through.\n\nPlay safe\n\nBlindfolds are hugely useful in many ways: to calm down a submissive who's feeling giggly or jumpy... to add to a feeling of helplessness... to increase focus on sensations by taking away the sense of sight.\n\nThey are also a huge help to a dominant who's not yet totally confident. Once they're blindfolded, they can't see you fumbling, being nervous... or taking off those high heels to make yourself comfortable.\n\nHowever, a blindfolded sub is very dependent on you. Do not try to move them unless you're guiding them with your hands, and be extra-alert to any loss of balance, especially if their hands and/or feet are tied.\n\nRestrictive Bondage\n\nThis is the type most people think of when they talk about bondage - the kind that restricts movement and that feels like they can't escape. Could they really escape if they wanted to? - That depends on their flexibility and strength. But if you're doing this kind of bondage, it should feel like they're in it until you decide to let them out.\n\nSome stubborn partners will struggle so hard against the bondage that they hurt themselves. If you think that may be what's happening, stop the scene. Pulled muscles and strained joints are not good accessories for play.\n\nDecorative Bondage\n\nDecorative bondage is the exact opposite of inescapable bondage: it's there to be pretty, not to hold your partner in place. You can use decorative bondage to accentuate your favorite parts of your partner's body. Some people make bondage into an art, interweaving multicolored ropes and decorative objects. Decorative bondage can be collaborative, with you and your partner deciding together that this rope would look really beautiful across that body part. Since you're collaborating, you can exchange information about what feels good and what looks nice, which is a great way to learn.\n\nBondage for Sensation\n\nBondage offers a combination of pressure and constriction. Applied to a sensitive body part, it can heighten other sensations like clamps or impact, or be a sensation all by itself.\n\nSome submissives love bondage that makes them feel \"swaddled,\" like a baby in a blanket. They may drift off into a peaceful, serene state.\n\nRoleplay Bondage\n\nBondage can be an adjunct to many different roleplaying scenarios. If you want to play as a pirate, cowgirl, cop, criminal, or... let your imagination be your guide... a few well-placed ropes or restraints will help make your scene sing.\n\nBasic Bondage Principles\n\nThe first thing to remember about bondage is that pressure applied to a narrow area is much more dangerous than the same pressure spread out.\n\nIf you're using restraints, that problem is taken care of simply by the structure of the restraints. Leather restraints are sexy and fun, but also pricey. Fortunately, restraints of nylon or canvas are cheaper and work just as well.*\n\n* A bigger investment, but a great toy for beginners, is Sportsheets\u00ae - fitted sheets made of the soft side of Velcro, paired with restraints that feature the hook side. You can simply stick your partner down in whatever position pleases you.\n\nIf you're using rope, simply wrapping it several times around your partner's limb doesn't solve the problem.\n\nThe strand that has the most pressure on it will tighten down and cause problems.\n\nInstead, twist the ends together, pass one of them under all your strands, and tie a square knot over the whole thing. To tie two limbs together, use the same principle: make several wraps around both limbs, then twist the ends together between the limbs, pass them around all the strands, and tie off.\n\nMany dominant women avoid doing bondage because they don't know how to tie fancy knots. But good bondage requires only two or three simple knots.*\n\nThe larkhead is useful for attaching to inanimate objects like bedposts, or as the starting point for a wrapped series of strands. Simply fold your rope in half and pass the free ends back through the loop.\n\n* If you have as much trouble with spatial relations as I do, The Klutz Book of Knots is a great resource for hands-on practice.\n\nIf you were a Scout, you may already know how to tie a square knot. If not, the mnemonic is, \"right over left, left over right, makes the knot neat and tidy and tight.\" If you don't do it that way, your knot may be a granny knot, which can slide either too loose or too tight.\n\nAnother useful knot to know is two half-hitches, which is good for attaching the end of the rope to a stationary object like a beam or bedpost. Don't use it on human parts, though, as it's designed to tighten under pressure.\n\nCotton clothesline\nTubular webbing\nHemp rope\nIf you want to try rope, you'll find that it comes in all sizes, colors, and textures. Most bondage practitioners prefer rope 1/4\" to 5/16\" (6-8mm) thick. Avoid synthetic rope, which can cause rope burns. Pure cotton clothesline is a good choice for beginners - not so slippery that your knots will fall out, but smooth enough not to abrade skin if used properly. I am a fan of the tubular webbing sold in climbing stores, which is smooth, easy to tie, and pretty. Purists prefer hemp for its scratchy texture and classic look - if you're interested, I suggest getting your first batch from one of the several businesses which cut, dye, and prepare hemp ropes specifically for bondage.\n\nIf you think bondage is going to be an ongoing activity, consider adding some attachment points to your play area. If you have privacy concerns, eye bolts can be attached between the frame and the mattress of a wooden bedframe. If you want attachments in your wall or ceiling, but are not 100% certain of your ability to center a bolt into a stud or joist, have it done by a professional handyperson or other experienced individual.\n\nIf you want to go further...\nIf bondage turns out to be an important kink for you or your partner, I strongly encourage you to acquire one or more of these books - there's a lot more to learn than I can offer here.\n\n_Jay Wiseman's Erotic Bondage Handbook,_ by Jay Wiseman\n_Bondage for Sex,_ by Chanta Rose\n_The Seductive Art of Japanese Bondage,_ by Midori\n_Shibari You Can Use: Japanese Rope Bondage and Erotic_ _Macram\u00e9_ , by Lee Harrington", "response": "\n\n**_FUNDAMENTALS: BONDAGE_**\n\nIT MIGHT SEEM LIKE \"BONDAGE IS BONDAGE.\" BUT ACTUALLY, PEOPLE DO BONDAGE FOR A NUMBER OF REASONS.\n\nSOME PEOPLE LIKE _RESTRICTIVE_ BONDAGE - THE KIND THAT FEELS LIKE THEY CAN'T GET OUT UNLESS YOU UNTIE THEM.\n\nOTHERS LIKE _DECORATIVE_ BONDAGE, THAT SETS OFF THEIR BEST FEATURES IN A HANDSOME FRAME OF ROPE.\n\nBONDAGE CAN BE USED FOR _SENSATION_ _,_ HUGGING TIGHT AGAINST SENSITIVE BITS AND MAKING THEM TINGLE.\n\nBONDAGE CAN BE USED IN _ROLEPLAYING_ _:_ PIRATES AND SAILORS, SOLDIERS AND CAPTIVES, COPS AND ROBBERS - WHATEVER NARRATIVE TAKES YOUR FANCY.\n\nIT'S IMPORTANT TO DISCUSS YOUR GOALS AHEAD OF TIME. OTHERWISE, IT MIGHT BE THAT YOUR PARTNER NEEDS INESCAPABLE BONDAGE TO FEEL SECURE, AND YOU'VE JUST CAREFULLY KNOTTED A FULL-BODY DECORATIVE HARNESS THAT DOESN'T IMPEDE THEIR MOVEMENT AT ALL. I'M SURE YOU CAN SEE THE PROBLEM.\n\nPLAY SAFE\n\nMANY PEOPLE THINK OF BONDAGE AS AN \"EASY,\" ENTRY-LEVEL KINK ACTIVITY. BUT IT'S RISKIER THAN MANY OTHER FORMS OF KINK - WHICH SIMPLY MEANS THAT YOU NEED TO SPEND A LITTLE BIT OF TIME AND EFFORT LEARNING HOW TO DO IT SAFELY AND WELL.\n\nTO BE SURE THAT YOU'RE NOT CUTTING OFF CIRCULATION ANYWHERE, CHECK THE BOUND PART PERIODICALLY FOR COLDNESS AND NUMBNESS.\n\nCONSIDER ACQUIRING A SET OF RESTRAINTS. NYLON ONES ARE AVAILABLE IN EROTIC BOUTIQUES AND ON THE INTERNET, AND ARE QUITE AFFORDABLE.\n\nIF YOU'RE WORKING WITH ROPE, MAKE SURE THAT YOU SPREAD THE PRESSURE OVER A WIDE ENOUGH AREA. I'LL EXPLAIN HOW ON P. 40.\n\nPLAY SAFE\n\nDO NOT PLACE BONDAGE ACROSS THE FRONT OF ANYONE'S NECK.\n\nAVOID PLACING BONDAGE OVER PLACES ON THE BODY WHERE THERE IS LITTLE FAT OR MUSCLE PROTECTING SKIN AND NERVES. MOST JOINTS ARE NOT GOOD PLACES FOR BONDAGE.\n\nONE PLACE TO BE ESPECIALLY CAREFUL IS THE UNPROTECTED \"NOTCH\" BETWEEN THE WRISTBONE AND THE BASE OF THE THUMB.\n\nPLAY SAFE\n\nDO NOT USE STOCKINGS FOR BONDAGE. THEY CAN TIGHTEN DOWN INTO A NARROW, ABRASIVE SURFACE THAT CAN CUT INTO SKIN. IN GENERAL, IF YOU USE ANY HOUSEHOLD ITEM FOR BONDAGE, BE PREPARED TO CUT IT OFF - SO IF YOU DON'T WANT TO CUT IT OFF, DON'T USE IT.\n\nI DON'T RECOMMEND HANDCUFFS, EITHER. THE EDGE OF THE CUFF CAN PRESS INTO THE BASE OF THE THUMB AND DAMAGE THE NERVES THERE. IF YOU DECIDE TO TRY HANDCUFFS, BUY REAL ONES WITH DOUBLE LOCKS TO PREVENT THEM FROM TIGHTENING, AND USE THE DOUBLE LOCKS.\n\n### **_AND NEVER, EVER LEAVE A HELPLESS BOUND PERSON ALONE FOR MORE THAN A QUICK RUN TO THE BATHROOM._**\n\nPLAY SAFE\n\nALWAYS HAVE THE PROPER TOOLS ON HAND TO RELEASE SOMEONE QUICKLY IN CASE OF EMERGENCIES.* FOR ROPE AND LIGHT RESTRAINTS, \"PARAMEDIC SHEARS\" - WHICH ARE MEANT TO CUT THROUGH SEATBELTS AND OTHER TOUGH MATERIALS - WORK GREAT. IF YOU'RE USING TOYS WITH LOCKS, GET A LOCKSMITH TO KEY THEM ALL TO THE SAME KEY, AND KEEP A BACKUP KEY IN A SAFE, MEMORABLE PLACE. IF YOU'RE USING CHAINS OR CUFFS, GET BOLT CUTTERS.\n\n* NOT JUST PLAY EMERGENCIES. IF THERE WERE AN EARTHQUAKE, TORNADO OR FIRE WHEN YOUR PARTNER IS IN BONDAGE, HOW LONG WOULD IT TAKE YOU TO GET THEM OUT?\n\nPLAY SAFE\n\nGAGS CAN BE FUN, BUT THEY CARRY SOME EXTRA RISKS. FIRST, YOU MUST MAKE SURE THAT YOUR PARTNER HAS SOME WAY TO COMMUNICATE THAT THEY NEED THE SCENE TO CHANGE OR STOP. IF YOU'RE USING A GAG, BE SURE TO AGREE ON A NON-VERBAL SAFEWORD, SUCH AS THREE GRUNTS, OR A SQUEAKY TOY OR RING OF KEYS THAT WILL MAKE A SOUND IF DROPPED.\n\nNEVER, EVER USE A GAG THAT YOUR PARTNER COULD INHALE OR SWALLOW. ANY MOUTH STUFFING MUST BE ATTACHED TO THE PART THAT TIES AROUND YOUR PARTNER'S HEAD, WITH AN ATTACHMENT TOO STURDY TO BE BITTEN THROUGH.\n\nMANY COMMERCIAL GAGS ARE TOO LARGE FOR MOST MOUTHS. IF YOU BUY A GAG, START SMALL. AND BEFORE USING A GAG, MAKE SURE YOUR PARTNER'S NOSE IS NOT TOO STUFFY TO BREATHE THROUGH.\n\nPLAY SAFE\n\nBLINDFOLDS ARE HUGELY USEFUL IN MANY WAYS: TO CALM DOWN A SUBMISSIVE WHO'S FEELING GIGGLY OR JUMPY... TO ADD TO A FEELING OF HELPLESSNESS... TO INCREASE FOCUS ON SENSATIONS BY TAKING AWAY THE SENSE OF SIGHT.\n\nTHEY ARE ALSO A HUGE HELP TO A DOMINANT WHO'S NOT YET TOTALLY CONFIDENT. ONCE THEY'RE BLINDFOLDED, THEY CAN'T SEE YOU FUMBLING, BEING NERVOUS... OR TAKING OFF THOSE HIGH HEELS TO MAKE YOURSELF COMFORTABLE.\n\nHOWEVER, A BLINDFOLDED SUB IS VERY DEPENDENT ON YOU. DO NOT TRY TO MOVE THEM UNLESS YOU'RE GUIDING THEM WITH YOUR HANDS, AND BE EXTRA-ALERT TO ANY LOSS OF BALANCE, ESPECIALLY IF THEIR HANDS AND/OR FEET ARE TIED.\n\n### **_RESTRICTIVE BONDAGE_**\n\nTHIS IS THE TYPE MOST PEOPLE THINK OF WHEN THEY TALK ABOUT BONDAGE - THE KIND THAT RESTRICTS MOVEMENT AND THAT FEELS LIKE THEY CAN'T ESCAPE. COULD THEY REALLY ESCAPE IF THEY WANTED TO? - THAT DEPENDS ON THEIR FLEXIBILITY AND STRENGTH. BUT IF YOU'RE DOING THIS KIND OF BONDAGE, IT SHOULD _FEEL LIKE_ THEY'RE IN IT UNTIL YOU DECIDE TO LET THEM OUT.\n\nSOME STUBBORN PARTNERS WILL STRUGGLE SO HARD AGAINST THE BONDAGE THAT THEY HURT THEMSELVES. IF YOU THINK THAT MAY BE WHAT'S HAPPENING, STOP THE SCENE. PULLED MUSCLES AND STRAINED JOINTS ARE NOT GOOD ACCESSORIES FOR PLAY.\n\n### **_DECORATIVE BONDAGE_**\n\nDECORATIVE BONDAGE IS THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF INESCAPABLE BONDAGE: IT'S THERE TO BE PRETTY, NOT TO HOLD YOUR PARTNER IN PLACE. YOU CAN USE DECORATIVE BONDAGE TO ACCENTUATE YOUR FAVORITE PARTS OF YOUR PARTNER'S BODY. SOME PEOPLE MAKE BONDAGE INTO AN ART, INTERWEAVING MULTICOLORED ROPES AND DECORATIVE OBJECTS. DECORATIVE BONDAGE CAN BE COLLABORATIVE, WITH YOU AND YOUR PARTNER DECIDING TOGETHER THAT _THIS_ ROPE WOULD LOOK REALLY BEAUTFUL ACROSS _THAT_ BODY PART. SINCE YOU'RE COLLABORATING, YOU CAN EXCHANGE INFORMATION ABOUT WHAT FEELS GOOD AND WHAT LOOKS NICE, WHICH IS A GREAT WAY TO LEARN.\n\n### **_BONDAGE FOR SENSATION_**\n\nBONDAGE OFFERS A COMBINATION OF PRESSURE AND CONSTRICTION. APPLIED TO A SENSITIVE BODY PART, IT CAN HEIGHTEN OTHER SENSATIONS LIKE CLAMPS OR IMPACT, OR BE A SENSATION ALL BY ITSELF.\n\nSOME SUBMISSIVES LOVE BONDAGE THAT MAKES THEM FEEL \"SWADDLED,\" LIKE A BABY IN A BLANKET. THEY MAY DRIFT OFF INTO A PEACEFUL, SERENE STATE.\n\n### **_ROLEPLAY BONDAGE_**\n\nBONDAGE CAN BE AN ADJUNCT TO MANY DIFFERENT ROLEPLAYING SCENARIOS. IF YOU WANT TO PLAY AS A PIRATE, COWGIRL, COP, CRIMINAL, OR... LET YOUR IMAGINATION BE YOUR GUIDE... A FEW WELLPLACED ROPES OR RESTRAINTS WILL HELP MAKE YOUR SCENE SING.\n\n### **_BASIC BONDAGE PRINCIPLES_**\n\nTHE FIRST THING TO REMEMBER ABOUT BONDAGE IS THAT PRESSURE APPLIED TO A NARROW AREA IS MUCH MORE DANGEROUS THAN THE SAME PRESSURE SPREAD OUT.\n\nIF YOU'RE USING RESTRAINTS, THAT PROBLEM IS TAKEN CARE OF SIMPLY BY THE STRUCTURE OF THE RESTRAINTS. LEATHER RESTRAINTS ARE SEXY AND FUN, BUT ALSO PRICEY. FORTUNATELY, RESTRAINTS OF NYLON OR CANVAS ARE CHEAPER AND WORK JUST AS WELL.*\n\n* A BIGGER INVESTMENT, BUT A GREAT TOY FOR BEGINNERS, IS SPORTSHEETS\u00ae \\- FITTED SHEETS MADE OF THE SOFT SIDE OF VELCRO, PAIRED WITH RESTRAINTS THAT FEATURE THE HOOK SIDE. YOU CAN SIMPLY STICK YOUR PARTNER DOWN IN WHATEVER POSITION PLEASES YOU.\n\nIF YOU'RE USING ROPE, SIMPLY WRAPPING IT SEVERAL TIMES AROUND YOUR PARTNER'S LIMB DOESN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM.\n\nTHE STRAND THAT HAS THE MOST PRESSURE ON IT WILL TIGHTEN DOWN AND CAUSE PROBLEMS.\n\nINSTEAD, TWIST THE ENDS TOGETHER, PASS ONE OF THEM UNDER ALL YOUR STRANDS, AND TIE A SQUARE KNOT OVER THE WHOLE THING. TO TIE TWO LIMBS TOGETHER, USE THE SAME PRINCIPLE: MAKE SEVERAL WRAPS AROUND BOTH LIMBS, THEN TWIST THE ENDS TOGETHER BETWEEN THE LIMBS, PASS THEM AROUND ALL THE STRANDS, AND TIE OFF.\n\nMANY DOMINANT WOMEN AVOID DOING BONDAGE BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO TIE FANCY KNOTS. BUT GOOD BONDAGE REQUIRES ONLY TWO OR THREE SIMPLE KNOTS.*\n\nTHE LARKSHEAD IS USEFUL FOR ATTACHING TO INANIMATE OBJECTS LIKE BEDPOSTS, OR AS THE STARTING POINT FOR A WRAPPED SERIES OF STRANDS. SIMPLY FOLD YOUR ROPE IN HALF AND PASS THE FREE ENDS BACK THROUGH THE LOOP.\n\n* IF YOU HAVE AS MUCH TROUBLE WITH SPATIAL RELATIONS AS I DO, _THE KLUTZ BOOK OF KNOTS_ IS A GREAT RESOURCE FOR HANDS-ON PRACTICE.\n\nIF YOU WERE A SCOUT, YOU MAY ALREADY KNOW HOW TO TIE A SQUARE KNOT. IF NOT, THE MNEMONIC IS, \"RIGHT OVER LEFT, LEFT OVER RIGHT, MAKES THE KNOT NEAT AND TIDY AND TIGHT.\" IF YOU DON'T DO IT THAT WAY, YOUR KNOT MAY BE A GRANNY KNOT, WHICH CAN SLIDE EITHER TOO LOOSE OR TOO TIGHT.\n\nANOTHER USEFUL KNOT TO KNOW IS TWO HALF-HITCHES, WHICH IS GOOD FOR ATTACHING THE END OF THE ROPE TO A STATIONARY OBJECT LIKE A BEAM OR BEDPOST. DON'T USE IT ON HUMAN PARTS, THOUGH, AS IT'S DESIGNED TO TIGHTEN UNDER PRESSURE.\n\nCOTTON CLOTHESLINE\n\nTUBULAR WEBBING\n\nHEMP ROPE\n\nIF YOU WANT TO TRY ROPE, YOU'LL FIND THAT IT COMES IN ALL SIZES, COLORS AND TEXTURES. MOST BONDAGE PRACTITIONERS PREFER ROPE 1/4\" TO 5/16\" (6-8MM) THICK. AVOID SYNTHETIC ROPE, WHICH CAN CAUSE ROPE BURNS. PURE COTTON CLOTHESLINE IS A GOOD CHOICE FOR BEGINNERS - NOT SO SLIPPERY THAT YOUR KNOTS WILL FALL OUT, BUT SMOOTH ENOUGH NOT TO ABRADE SKIN IF USED PROPERLY. I AM A FAN OF THE TUBULAR WEBBING SOLD IN CLIMBING STORES, WHICH IS SMOOTH, EASY TO TIE, AND PRETTY. PURISTS PREFER HEMP FOR ITS SCRATCHY TEXTURE AND CLASSIC LOOK - IF YOU'RE INTERESTED, I SUGGEST GETTING YOUR FIRST BATCH FROM ONE OF THE SEVERAL BUSINESSES WHICH CUT, DYE AND PREPARE HEMP ROPES SPECIFICALLY FOR BONDAGE.\n\nIF YOU THINK BONDAGE IS GOING TO BE AN ONGOING ACTIVITY, CONSIDER ADDING SOME ATTACHMENT POINTS TO YOUR PLAY AREA. IF YOU HAVE PRIVACY CONCERNS, EYE BOLTS CAN BE ATTACHED BETWEEN THE FRAME AND THE MATTRESS OF A WOODEN BEDFRAME. IF YOU WANT ATTACHMENTS IN YOUR WALL OR CEILING, BUT ARE NOT 100% CERTAIN OF YOUR ABILITY TO CENTER A BOLT INTO A STUD OR JOIST, HAVE IT DONE BY A PROFESSIONAL HANDYPERSON OR OTHER EXPERIENCED INDIVIDUAL.\n\n### **_IF YOU WANT TO GO FURTHER..._**\n\nIF BONDAGE TURNS OUT TO BE AN IMPORTANT KINK FOR YOU OR YOUR PARTNER, I STRONGLY ENCOURAGE YOU TO ACQUIRE ONE OR MORE OF THESE BOOKS - THERE'S A LOT MORE TO LEARN THAN I CAN OFFER HERE.\n\n_JAY WISEMAN'S EROTIC BONDAGE HANDBOOK,_ BY JAY WISEMAN\n\n_BONDAGE FOR SEX,_ BY CHANTA ROSE\n\n_THE SEDUCTIVE ART OF JAPANESE BONDAGE,_ BY MIDORI\n\n_SHIBARI YOU_ _CAN USE: JAPANESE ROPE BONDAGE AND EROTIC_ _MACRAM\u00c9_ , BY LEE HARRINGTON\n"}

Explain how heat and cold can be used in sensation play, including the use of hot wax, chemical heat, and ice, and provide safety tips, such as trying them on your own skin first and not inserting ice.\n7. Discuss the risks of marks and injuries, including the effects of diabetes and anticlotting medication, and provide first aid information for minor injuries.\n8. Recommend additional resources for learning more about sensation play, such as books and websites.\n\nHere is a possible response to the prompt:\n\nFundamentals: Sensation\n\nIf you look for photos of sexually dominant women, you'll find a lot of pictures of leatherclad women holding bullwhips or riding crops. Maybe that's why many people think kinky play always involves pain. It doesn't - for two reasons.\n\nFirst, a lot of people enjoy styles of play that don't include strong sensation of any kind.\n\nSecond, when your partner is aroused or excited by your play, they might feel keen pleasure from sensations that would be painful at other times.\n\nAnd, of course, some people do like to play with pain - to prove their strength, to get turned on, to find emotional release in yelling or tears, to reach an ecstatic state.\n\nNo matter where you fall in those groups, it's worth your while to learn a little about the intense sensations we play with in kink - when and how to give them, and how to do so safely.\n\nImpact\n\nPerhaps the most common form of sensation play is impact play - spanking, flogging, slapping, etc.\n\nThere are all kinds of reasons that your scene might include some impact. You might be doing \"funishment\" (see p. 55). You might be doing a roleplay that includes impact: a ladies' maid with a strict employer, an athlete with a coach, a cocky teenager with a disapproving aunt... well, you get the idea.\n\nSome bottoms can literally get off on impact: it's not too rare for someone to be able to reach orgasm from strokes properly applied - and even those who can't quite reach orgasm can nevertheless get very turned on. Others may not literally get off, but nevertheless find that impact can take them into a dreamy or even ecstatic state, or allow them to release pent-up emotions.\n\nAs in all kinky play, talk with your partner first to make sure you're on the same page. If they think they're receiving a cute naughty \"funishment,\" and you think you're a stern taskmistress who is going to give them the whaling of their life, things are likely to end badly.\n\nThe safest places to strike on the body are those well padded with muscle. The less muscle there is, the softer your impacts must be. In general, I'd advise that you steer clear of the dark areas in these drawings, where organs, nerves, or bones have very little protection.\n\nYou already own the best impact toy there is. It lives at the end of your arm.\n\nMost recipients find the impact of a hand much more agreeable than impact from toys. Also, a hand has a built-in feedback device: you're feeling whatever your partner is feeling. Certainly, hands are the best starting place for beginners.\n\nIt's useful to divide impact toys into two groups: stingy and thuddy. Most bottoms prefer one or the other. That doesn't mean you have to give them only the kind they like (unless that's what you've agreed on) - but knowing their preference enables you to challenge them with something they dislike, and reward them with something they like.\n\nSting comes from toys that are relatively lightweight, like switches and leather or plastic paddles.\n\nThud comes from toys that are heavy in relation to their width, like heavy paddles and many floggers.\n\nWith any kind of sensation, but particularly impact, it is important to start with a warmup. Warmup takes advantage of how the body naturally manages sensation - with endorphins, a built-in defense against pain. By starting slow and building gradually, you allow the endorphins to build so that when you get to greater intensity, your partner will be able to enjoy it.\n\nThese impact toys are good for beginners. Always try them, or any sensation toy, on your own skin first. Before using anything bendy or floppy, practice on an inanimate object so you're sure you can land the toy exactly where you aim it.\n\nKitchen spatula\n\nSmall leather paddle (I like the kind with fleece on the back)\n\nSoft flogger (lamskin, deerskin, or light suede)\n\nShort riding crop with wide tip\n\nThese impact toys take more experience to use well. Before acquiring one of these, read some of the books at the end of this chapter, or better yet, learn from someone who knows how to use them safely.\n\nSingletail whips\n\nBraided or knotted floggers\n\nCanes\n\nSteer clear of any toy that's been used traumatically or nonconsensually on you or your partner, at least until you know each other very well. Be especially careful with belts and with face-slapping.\n\nPlaying with Punishment\n\nA lot of female-domination fantasies are based on the idea of someone getting punished for something - and for many people, the idea of punishment is wired deeply into their kink. However, punishing someone for real-world offenses is an emotionally risky form of play. \"Funishment\" - roleplay based on the idea of punishment, with no real intention to change behavior - is a much safer way to explore this fantasy.\n\nIf you and/or your partner wants to try actual punishment, I strongly recommend that you stick to relatively minor offenses. Nail-biting or loading the dishwasher wrong? Sure. Drinking too much or being rude to your mother? Save it for the therapist's office, not the bedroom.\n\nClips and Clamps\n\nClips and clamps are a versatile and affordable way of giving sensation. From the humble wooden clothespin to custom creations of steel and rubber, they all work on the same principle: pinching hurts. Then it gradually hurts less as the skin accustoms itself to the sensation. And then, when the clamp comes off and the blood flows back into the pinched skin, it hurts most of all.\n\nClamp", "response": "\n\n**_FUNDAMENTALS: SENSATION_**\n\nIF YOU LOOK FOR PHOTOS OF SEXUALLY DOMINANT WOMEN, YOU'LL FIND A LOT OF PICTURES OF LEATHERCLAD WOMEN HOLDING BULLWHIPS OR RIDING CROPS. MAYBE THAT'S WHY MANY PEOPLE THINK KINKY PLAY ALWAYS INVOLVES PAIN. IT DOESN'T - FOR TWO REASONS.\n\nFIRST, A LOT OF PEOPLE ENJOY STYLES OF PLAY THAT DON'T INCLUDE STRONG SENSATION OF ANY KIND.\n\nSECOND, WHEN YOUR PARTNER IS AROUSED OR EXCITED BY YOUR PLAY, THEY MIGHT FEEL KEEN PLEASURE FROM SENSATIONS THAT WOULD BE PAINFUL AT OTHER TIMES.\n\nAND, OF COURSE, SOME PEOPLE _DO_ LIKE TO PLAY WITH PAIN - TO PROVE THEIR STRENGTH, TO GET TURNED ON, TO FIND EMOTIONAL RELEASE IN YELLING OR TEARS, TO REACH AN ECSTATIC STATE.\n\nNO MATTER WHERE YOU FALL IN THOSE GROUPS, IT'S WORTH YOUR WHILE TO LEARN A LITTLE ABOUT THE INTENSE SENSATIONS WE PLAY WITH IN KINK - WHEN AND HOW TO GIVE THEM, AND HOW TO DO SO SAFELY.\n\n### **_IMPACT_**\n\nPERHAPS THE MOST COMMON FORM OF SENSATION PLAY IS IMPACT PLAY - SPANKING, FLOGGING, SLAPPING, ETC.\n\nTHERE ARE ALL KINDS OF REASONS THAT YOUR SCENE MIGHT INCLUDE SOME IMPACT. YOU MIGHT BE DOING \"FUNISHMENT\" (SEE P. 55). YOU MIGHT BE DOING A ROLEPLAY THAT INCLUDES IMPACT: A LADIES' MAID WITH A STRICT EMPLOYER, AN ATHLETE WITH A COACH, A COCKY TEENAGER WITH A DISAPPROVING AUNT... WELL, YOU GET THE IDEA.\n\nSOME BOTTOMS CAN LITERALLY GET OFF ON IMPACT: IT'S NOT TOO RARE FOR SOMEONE TO BE ABLE TO REACH ORGASM FROM STROKES PROPERLY APPLIED - AND EVEN THOSE WHO CAN'T QUITE REACH ORGASM CAN NONETHELESS GET VERY TURNED ON. OTHERS MAY NOT LITERALLY GET OFF, BUT NEVERTHELESS FIND THAT IMPACT CAN TAKE THEM INTO A DREAMY OR EVEN ECSTATIC STATE, OR ALLOW THEM TO RELEASE PENT-UP EMOTIONS.\n\nAS IN ALL KINKY PLAY, TALK WITH YOUR PARTNER FIRST TO MAKE SURE YOU'RE ON THE SAME PAGE. IF THEY THINK THEY'RE RECEIVING A CUTE NAUGHTY \"FUNISHMENT,\" AND YOU THINK YOU'RE A STERN TASKMISTRESS WHO IS GOING TO GIVE THEM THE WHALING OF THEIR LIFE, THINGS ARE LIKELY TO END BADLY.\n\nTHE SAFEST PLACES TO STRIKE ON THE BODY ARE THOSE WELL PADDED WITH MUSCLE. THE LESS MUSCLE THERE IS, THE SOFTER YOUR IMPACTS MUST BE. IN GENERAL, I'D ADVISE THAT YOU STEER CLEAR OF THE DARK AREAS IN THESE DRAWINGS, WHERE ORGANS, NERVES OR BONES HAVE VERY LITTLE PROTECTION.*\n\n* YOU MAY HAVE SEEN PEOPLE STRIKE THESE PLACES IN PORN OR EROTICA. IF YOU'D LIKE TO LEARN HOW TO DO THAT, SEE THE END OF THIS CHAPTER FOR BOOKS, OR BETTER YET TAKE SOME CLASSES FROM EXPERTS AT YOUR LOCAL BDSM GROUP.\n\nYOU ALREADY OWN THE BEST IMPACT TOY THERE IS. IT LIVES AT THE END OF YOUR ARM.\n\nMOST RECIPIENTS FIND THE IMPACT OF A HAND MUCH MORE AGREEABLE THAN IMPACT FROM TOYS. ALSO, A HAND HAS A BUILT-IN FEEDBACK DEVICE: YOU'RE FEELING WHATEVER YOUR PARTNER IS FEELING. CERTAINLY, HANDS ARE THE BEST STARTING PLACE FOR BEGINNERS.\n\nIT'S USEFUL TO DIVIDE IMPACT TOYS INTO TWO GROUPS: STINGY AND THUDDY. MOST BOTTOMS PREFER ONE OR THE OTHER. THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU HAVE TO GIVE THEM ONLY THE KIND THEY LIKE (UNLESS THAT'S WHAT YOU'VE AGREED ON) - BUT KNOWING THEIR PREFERENCE ENABLES YOU TO CHALLENGE THEM WITH SOMETHING THEY DISLIKE, AND REWARD THEM WITH SOMETHING THEY LIKE.\n\nSTING COMES FROM TOYS THAT ARE RELATIVELY LIGHTWEIGHT, LIKE SWITCHES AND LEATHER OR PLASTIC PADDLES.\n\nTHUD COMES FROM TOYS THAT ARE HEAVY IN RELATION TO THEIR WIDTH, LIKE HEAVY PADDLES AND MANY FLOGGERS.\n\nWITH ANY KIND OF SENSATION, BUT PARTICULARLY IMPACT, IT IS IMPORTANT TO START WITH A WARMUP. WARMUP TAKES ADVANTAGE OF HOW THE BODY NATURALLY MANAGES SENSATION - WITH ENDORPHINS, A BUILT-IN DEFENSE AGAINST PAIN. BY STARTING SLOW AND BUILDING GRADUALLY, YOU ALLOW THE ENDORPHINS TO BUILD SO THAT WHEN YOU GET TO GREATER INTENSITY, YOUR PARTNER WILL BE ABLE TO ENJOY IT.\n\nTHESE IMPACT TOYS ARE GOOD FOR BEGINNERS. ALWAYS TRY THEM, OR ANY SENSATION TOY, ON YOUR OWN SKIN FIRST. BEFORE USING ANYTHING BENDY OR FLOPPY, PRACTICE ON AN INANIMATE OBJECT SO YOU'RE SURE YOU CAN LAND THE TOY EXACTLY WHERE YOU AIM IT.\n\nKITCHEN SPATULA\n\nSMALL LEATHER PADDLE (I LIKE THE KIND WITH FLEECE ON THE BACK)\n\nSOFT FLOGGER (LAMBSKIN, DEERSKIN OR LIGHT SUEDE)\n\nSHORT RIDING CROP WITH WIDE TIP\n\nTHESE IMPACT TOYS TAKE MORE EXPERIENCE TO USE WELL. BEFORE ACQUIRING ONE OF THESE, READ SOME OF THE BOOKS AT THE END OF THIS CHAPTER, OR BETTER YET, LEARN FROM SOMEONE WHO KNOWS HOW TO USE THEM SAFELY.\n\nSINGLETAIL WHIPS\n\nBRAIDED OR KNOTTED FLOGGERS\n\nCANES\n\nSTEER CLEAR OF ANY TOY THAT'S BEEN USED TRAUMATICALLY OR NONCONSENSUALLY ON YOU OR YOUR PARTNER, AT LEAST UNTIL YOU KNOW EACH OTHER VERY WELL. BE ESPECIALLY CAREFUL WITH BELTS AND WITH FACE-SLAPPPING.\n\nPLAY SAFE\n\n### **_ON PLAYING WITH PUNISHMENT_**\n\nA LOT OF FEMALE-DOMINATION FANTASIES ARE BASED ON THE IDEA OF SOMEONE GETTING PUNISHED FOR SOMETHING - AND FOR MANY PEOPLE, THE IDEA OF PUNISHMENT IS WIRED DEEPLY INTO THEIR KINK. HOWEVER, PUNISHING SOMEONE FOR REAL-WORLD OFFENSES IS AN EMOTIONALLY RISKY FORM OF PLAY. \"FUNISHMENT\" - ROLEPLAY BASED ON THE IDEA OF PUNISHMENT, WITH NO REAL INTENTION TO CHANGE BEHAVIOR - IS A MUCH SAFER WAY TO EXPLORE THIS FANTASY.\n\nIF YOU AND/OR YOUR PARTNER WANTS TO TRY ACTUAL PUNISHMENT, I STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU STICK TO RELATIVELY MINOR OFFENSES. NAIL-BITING OR LOADING THE DISHWASHER WRONG? SURE. DRINKING TOO MUCH OR BEING RUDE TO YOUR MOTHER? SAVE IT FOR THE THERAPIST'S OFFICE, NOT THE BEDROOM.\n\n### **_CLIPS AND CLAMPS_**\n\nCLIPS AND CLAMPS ARE A VERSATILE AND AFFORDABLE WAY OF GIVING SENSATION. FROM THE HUMBLE WOODEN CLOTHESPIN TO CUSTOM CREATIONS OF STEEL AND RUBBER, THEY ALL WORK ON THE SAME PRINCIPLE: PINCHING HURTS. THEN IT GRADUALLY HURTS LESS AS THE SKIN ACCUSTOMS ITSELF TO THE SENSATION. AND THEN, WHEN THE CLAMP COMES OFF AND THE BLOOD FLOWS BACK INTO THE PINCHED SKIN, IT HURTS MOST OF ALL.\n\nCLAMPS CAN GO PRETTY MUCH ANYWHERE YOU CAN FIND A PINCH OF SKIN, EXCEPT THE FACE. DON'T LEAVE THEM ON FOR MORE THAN AROUND FIFTEEN MINUTES UNTIL YOU AND YOUR PARTNER HAVE HAD SOME PRACTICE WITH THEM.\n\nBE PREPARED FOR YOUR PARTNER TO JUMP, FLINCH OR YELL WHEN THEY COME OFF.\n\n### **_HEAT AND COLD_**\n\nYOU CAN HAVE A LOT OF FUN WITH REAL OR CHEMICAL HEAT AND COLD. MOST OF THESE \"TOYS\" ARE ALREADY IN YOUR HOUSEHOLD, OR AVAILABLE AT YOUR LOCAL SUPERMARKET.\n\nDRIPPING HOT WAX ON SKIN IS A TIME-HONORED FORM OF SENSATION PLAY. AS A GENERAL RULE, THE SOFTER THE WAX, THE MORE MANAGEABLE THE SENSATION. I SUGGEST THAT YOU STICK WITH THE CANDLES THAT COME IN A TALL JAR (THESE HAVE A RELATIVELY COOL MELTING POINT, WHICH MAKES THEM A GREAT PLACE TO START), OR PLAIN PARAFFIN EMERGENCY CANDLES.\n\nALWAYS TRY THEM ON YOUR OWN SKIN FIRST.\n\n\"CHEMICAL HEAT\" CAN ALSO OFFER AN INTERESTING RANGE OF SENSATION. TO START WITH, TRY PUTTING A LITTLE CLOSEUP\u2122 TOOTHPASTE OR CREME DE MENTHE IN YOUR HAND OR MOUTH, THEN APPLYING IT TO SENSITIVE PARTS.*\n\n* MOST CHEMICAL HEAT IS SOLUBLE IN OIL, SO IF IT GETS TO BE TOO MUCH, COVER IT WITH SOMETHING LIKE VASELINE, BUTTER, MILK OR COLD CREAM, THEN WASH IT OFF WITH SOAP AND WATER.\n\nTRAILING ICE OVER SKIN THAT'S BEEN REDDENED AND HEATED BY IMPACT PLAY WILL DEFINITELY GET A GASP. DO NOT INSERT ICE - THAT CAN CAUSE A DANGEROUS LOWERING OF THE HEART RATE IN SUSCEPTIBLE PEOPLE.\n\n### **_ON MARKS AND OTHER INJURIES_**\n\nPLAY SAFE\n\nIT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO PREDICT WHETHER ANY GIVEN PERSON'S SKIN WILL SHOW WELTS OR BRUISES AFTER ANY PARTICULAR FORM OF PLAY - IT DEPENDS ON THEIR LEVEL OF EXPERIENCE, THEIR SKIN TYPE, AND SOMETIMES EVEN THE TIME OF MONTH. YOU CAN REDUCE THE CHANCE OF MARKING BY ICING THE AREA AFTER PLAY, JUST AS YOU WOULD A MINOR SPORTS INJURY. IN FACT, FIRST AID FOR PLAY INJURIES IS PRETTY MUCH THE SAME AS FIRST AID FOR SPORTS INJURIES, SO YOU CAN READ UP ON IT WITHOUT OUTING YOURSELF TO ANYONE.\n\nIF YOUR PARTNER IS DIABETIC OR TAKES AN ANTICLOTTING MEDICATION, THEY ARE FAR LIKELIER TO MARK, AND MINOR INJURIES MAY CAUSE MUCH MORE OF A PROBLEM. DISCUSS YOUR PARTNER'S HEALTH WITH THEM BEFORE YOU DO SENSATION PLAY, AND IF THEY'RE NOT SURE, HAVE THEM ASK THEIR DOCTOR. (IF THEY'RE SHY, RECREATIONAL SPORTS ARE A GOOD EXCUSE.)\n\n### **_IF YOU WANT TO GO FURTHER..._**\n\n_SPANKING FOR LOVERS,_ BY JANET W.

{"input": " Prompt: Write a section for a book about sexual dominance that discusses the fundamentals of control play, including the balance between the desires of the dominant and submissive, service, collars, objectification, human pets, age play, and captivity.\n\nThe section should:\n\n1. Explain that not all kink is based on control play, but much of it is, and that control can be limited to one or two aspects of the partner's behavior, or many of them.\n2. Recommend starting with scene play only, and sticking to one or two aspects of control, and adding more time and/or more aspects as the partners learn more about each other and their kinks.\n3.

Discuss the balance between the desires of the dominant and submissive, and explain that the dominant's job is to enable or inspire submission, but that the submissive's core needs must also be met.\n5. Discuss service-oriented D/S, and suggest that the submissive provide domestic, clerical, personal, or sexual service.\n6. Discuss collars, and explain that they are the most universally recognized symbol of a control-based relationship, and that they signal to onlookers that the wearer is choosing to submit to someone and as a symbol of when the wearer and their partner are in role.\n7. Discuss objectification, and explain that it involves pretending that the partner is an object while making sure they are physically and emotionally safe.\n8. Discuss human pets, and explain that many submissives enjoy playing as animals, often ponies, puppies, and kitties, and that the pleasure often comes in letting go of intellect and falling into a pleasant, unthinking altered state of consciousness.\n9. Discuss age play, and explain that it involves playing as older or younger than the partners actually are, and that submissives often want to play as babies, kids, or teenagers, and that the dominant can also age play.\n10. Discuss captivity, and explain that it involves the partner pretending to be an unwilling captive, and that it is especially important to have a safe word in any scene that involves playing with unwillingness or resistance.\n\nHere is a possible response to the prompt:\n\nFundamentals: Control\n\nNot all kink is based on control play - otherwise known as power exchange, dominance/submission, or D/S - but much of it is. Your control can be limited to one or two aspects of your partner's behavior, or many of them. It can happen only during prenegotiated scenes, or can expand outward to fill many or even all of your waking hours. (Full-time control-based relationships, depending on their flavor, may be called owner/slave, daddy or mommy/boy or girl, or several others. If such relationships interest you, check the end of the chapter for some good resources - full-time power exchange is beyond the scope of this book.)\n\nIn the beginning, I strongly recommend that you start with scene play only, and stick to one or two aspects of control. You can add more time and/or more aspects as you and your partner learn more about each other and your kinks.\n\nMost people raised as women have been taught not to be bossy or pushy, which can make it difficult to access your \"inner dominant.\"\n\nThis may help: Picture a person who projects a lot of power. They can be people you've known, like relatives, teachers, or bosses. Or they can be figures from books, movies, or television.\n\nThat's your \"inner dominant.\" You can pretend to be them, or just ask them for guidance when you're having trouble expressing dominance.\n\nFinding a Balance\n\nMany novice dominants believe that because they're in charge, what the submissive wants doesn't matter. It's a lot more complicated than that.\n\nIf you're only pursuing your own desires, your partner may get bored, angry, or turned off. If you're only pursuing theirs, well, that's not really dominance, is it?\n\n_The Heart of Dominance_ (see p. 77) says, \"The work of dominance is to enable or inspire submission.\" That definition clarifies the balance you seek between your desires and theirs: Your job is to help them do their job, which is to submit to you.\n\nThe trick is to find a way of dominating them that satisfies your desires, while meeting their core needs. One of their core needs might be to be pushed a little further than they think they can go, so they can feel powerful and triumphant afterward.\n\nOn the other hand, some couples find that what works best for them is for the submissive to ask for exactly what they want, and the dominant to provide it. This isn't exactly classical D/S, but if it works for you, nobody gets to argue with that.\n\nService\n\nOne form of D/S that works for many practitioners is for the submissive to provide some form of service to the dominant. This can be domestic service, clerical service, personal service (massages, pedicures, etc.), sexual service, and/or any other form of service that they like giving and you like receiving.\n\nSome Thoughts About Collars\n\nThe most universally recognized symbol of a control-based relationship is the collar. Kink and sex boutiques offer collars ranging from delicate lace chokers to custom-made steel circlets, but an inexpensive dog collar from the pet store will do fine until you know for sure that a collar will be an ongoing part of your play.\n\nA collar has a dual purpose: One, to signal to onlookers that the wearer is choosing to submit to someone; two, as a symbol of when its wearer and their partner are in role. Many dominants begin their scenes by putting the submissive's collar on, and end by removing it, as a signal that the two partners are returning to an equal footing.\n\nIf a collar doesn't work for the flavor of your scene or relationship, any wearable item will do - a ring, some panties, a chastity belt (see p. 87), even a special necktie. Such things might not signal your relationship to outsiders, but they will to you, and that's what matters most.\n\nIf you ask your service-submissive partner what they need out of the scene, you may hear an answer like, \"I only want to please you, mistress.\"\n\nBy itself, that's not very helpful (perhaps what would please you at the moment is a couple of hours of TV-watching, and that's probably not what they're asking for).\n\nTry asking them, \"How will you know that you're pleasing me?\"\n\nSome might want to hear compliments about how well they're performing their service. Others, on the other hand, want to be told how inadequate they are (as long as they know deep inside that they really aren't inadequate). Some may mean that they want to give you an orgasm.\n\nGiving them the \"wrong\" kind of feedback is a sure-fire recipe for a scene gone sour.\n\nObjectification\n\nAnother form of D/S is pretending that your partner is an object: a footstool, a rug, a chair. The trick to this one is treating them as an object while making sure they are physically and emotionally safe.\n\nHuman Pets\n\nMany submissives enjoy playing as animals, often ponies, puppies, and/or kitties. For the sub, the pleasure often comes in letting go of intellect, falling into a pleasant, unthinking altered state of consciousness.\n\nAge Play\n\nAge play is any kind of scene in which one or both of you are playing as older or, more often, younger than you actually are. Submissives often want to play as babies (pacifiers and lots of pampering - diapers optional), kids (toys, art supplies, cartoons), or teenagers (rebelliousness and sexual experimentation).\n\nThere's no law saying that only the sub gets to ageplay. How about if you're the nasty teenaged babysitter to their mischievous kid?\n\nIt's important to remember that in some ways, an ageplayer is as vulnerable as they would be if they were a real kid. I don't recommend sexual ageplay unless you know your partner very well and have done a number of less risky scenes.\n\nCaptivity\n\nThis form of play has to do with your partner pretending to be an unwilling captive. Some subs find this playstyle psychologically easier, because they can play without having to feel \"small\" or weak.\n\nIt's especially important, in any scene that involves playing with unwillingness or resistance, for you to have a safe word that you can use if they start to resist a little harder than you're comfortable with.\n\nRemember: Safe words are not just for the submitting partner. You need them too.\n\nIf You Want to Go Further...\n\n_The Heart of Dominance,_ by Anton Fulmen, is my favorite book about D/S of all flavors - sensible and realistic for players of any gender or orientation.\n\nFor service-oriented scenes and relationships, _Erotic Slavehood,_ by Christina Abernathy, is a classic.\n\nCleo Dubois and her highly experienced colleagues run weekend intensives for dominants and submissives.

(FULLTIME CONTROL-BASED RELATIONSHIPS, DEPENDING ON THEIR FLAVOR, MAY BE CALLED OWNER/SLAVE, DADDY OR MOMMY/BOY OR GIRL, OR SEVERAL OTHERS. IF SUCH RELATIONSHIPS INTEREST YOU, CHECK THE END OF THE CHAPTER FOR SOME GOOD RESOURCES - FULL-TIME POWER EXCHANGE IS BEYOND THE SCOPE OF THIS BOOK.)\n\nIN THE BEGINNING, I STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU START WITH SCENE PLAY ONLY, AND STICK TO ONE OR TWO ASPECTS OF CONTROL. YOU CAN ADD MORE TIME AND/OR MORE ASPECTS AS YOU AND YOUR PARTNER LEARN MORE ABOUT EACH OTHER AND YOUR KINKS.\n\nMOST PEOPLE RAISED AS WOMEN HAVE BEEN TAUGHT NOT TO BE BOSSY OR PUSHY, WHICH CAN MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO ACCESS YOUR \"INNER DOMINANT.\"\n\nTHIS MAY HELP: PICTURE A PERSON WHO PROJECTS A LOT OF POWER. THEY CAN BE PEOPLE YOU'VE KNOWN, LIKE RELATIVES, TEACHERS OR BOSSES. OR THEY CAN BE FIGURES FROM BOOKS, MOVIES OR TELEVISION.\n\nTHAT'S YOUR \"INNER DOMINANT.\" YOU CAN PRETEND TO BE THEM, OR JUST ASK THEM FOR GUIDANCE WHEN YOU'RE HAVING TROUBLE EXPRESSING DOMINANCE.\n\n### **_FINDING A BALANCE_**\n\nMANY NOVICE DOMINANTS BELIEVE THAT BECAUSE THEY'RE IN CHARGE, WHAT THE SUBMISSIVE WANTS DOESN'T MATTER. IT'S A LOT MORE COMPLICATED THAN THAT.\n\nIF YOU'RE ONLY PURSUING YOUR OWN DESIRES, YOUR PARTNER MAY GET BORED, ANGRY OR TURNED OFF. IF YOU'RE ONLY PURSUING THEIRS, WELL, THAT'S NOT REALLY DOMINANCE, IS IT?\n\n_THE HEART OF DOMINANCE_ (SEE P. 77) SAYS, \"THE WORK OF DOMINANCE IS TO ENABLE OR INSPIRE SUBMISSION.\" THAT DEFINITION CLARIFIES THE BALANCE YOU SEEK BETWEEN YOUR DESIRES AND THEIRS: YOUR JOB IS TO HELP THEM DO THEIR JOB, WHICH IS TO SUBMIT TO YOU.\n\nTHE TRICK IS TO FIND A WAY OF DOMINATING THEM THAT SATISFIES YOUR DESIRES, WHILE MEETING THEIR CORE NEEDS. ONE OF THEIR CORE NEEDS MIGHT BE TO BE PUSHED _A LITTLE FURTHER_ THAN THEY THINK THEY CAN GO, SO THEY CAN FEEL POWERFUL AND TRIUMPHANT AFTERWARD.\n\nON THE OTHER HAND, SOME COUPLES FIND THAT WHAT WORKS BEST FOR THEM IS FOR THE SUBMISSIVE TO ASK FOR EXACTLY WHAT THEY WANT, AND THE DOMINANT TO PROVIDE IT. THIS ISN'T EXACTLY CLASSICAL D/S, BUT IF IT WORKS FOR YOU, NOBODY GETS TO ARGUE WITH THAT.\n\n### **_SERVICE_**\n\nONE FORM OF D/S THAT WORKS FOR MANY PRACTITIONERS IS FOR THE SUBMISSIVE TO PROVIDE SOME FORM OF SERVICE TO THE DOMINANT. THIS CAN BE DOMESTIC SERVICE, CLERICAL SERVICE, PERSONAL SERVICE (MASSAGES, PEDICURES, ETC.), SEXUAL SERVICE, AND/OR ANY OTHER FORM OF SERVICE THAT THEY LIKE GIVING AND YOU LIKE RECEIVING.\n\n### **_SOME THOUGHTS ABOUT COLLARS_**\n\nTHE MOST UNIVERSALLY RECOGNIZED SYMBOL OF A CONTROL-BASED RELATIONSHIP IS THE COLLAR. KINK AND SEX BOUTIQUES OFFER COLLARS RANGING FROM DELICATE LACE CHOKERS TO CUSTOM-MADE STEEL CIRCLETS, BUT AN INEXPENSIVE DOG COLLAR FROM THE PET STORE WILL DO FINE UNTIL YOU KNOW FOR SURE THAT A COLLAR WILL BE AN ONGOING PART OF YOUR PLAY.\n\nA COLLAR HAS A DUAL PURPOSE: ONE, TO SIGNAL TO ONLOOKERS THAT THE WEARER IS CHOOSING TO SUBMIT TO SOMEONE; TWO, AS A SYMBOL OF WHEN ITS WEARER AND THEIR PARTNER ARE IN ROLE. MANY DOMINANTS BEGIN THEIR SCENES BY PUTTING THE SUBMISSIVE'S COLLAR ON, AND END BY REMOVING IT, AS A SIGNAL THAT THE TWO PARTNERS ARE RETURNING TO AN EQUAL FOOTING.\n\nIF A COLLAR DOESN'T WORK FOR THE FLAVOR OF YOUR SCENE OR RELATIONSHIP, ANY WEARABLE ITEM WILL DO - A RING, SOME PANTIES, A CHASTITY BELT (SEE P. 87), EVEN A SPECIAL NECKTIE. SUCH THINGS MIGHT NOT SIGNAL YOUR RELATIONSHIP TO OUTSIDERS, BUT THEY WILL TO YOU, AND THAT'S WHAT MATTERS MOST.\n\nIF YOU ASK YOUR SERVICE-SUBMISSIVE PARTNER WHAT THEY NEED OUT OF THE SCENE, YOU MAY HEAR AN ANSWER LIKE, \"I ONLY WANT TO PLEASE YOU, MISTRESS.\"\n\nBY ITSELF, THAT'S NOT VERY HELPFUL (PERHAPS WHAT WOULD PLEASE YOU AT THE MOMENT IS A COUPLE OF HOURS OF TV-WATCHING, AND THAT'S PROBABLY NOT WHAT THEY'RE ASKING FOR).\n\nTRY ASKING THEM, \"HOW WILL YOU KNOW THAT YOU'RE PLEASING ME?\"\n\nSOME MIGHT WANT TO HEAR COMPLIMENTS ABOUT HOW WELL THEY'RE PERFORMING THEIR SERVICE. OTHERS, ON THE OTHER HAND, WANT TO BE TOLD HOW INADEQUATE THEY ARE (AS LONG AS THEY KNOW DEEP INSIDE THAT THEY REALLY AREN'T INADEQUATE). SOME MAY MEAN THAT THEY WANT TO GIVE YOU AN ORGASM.\n\nGIVING THEM THE \"WRONG\" KIND OF FEEDBACK IS A SURE-FIRE RECIPE FOR A SCENE GONE SOUR.\n\n### **_OBJECTIFICATION_**\n\nANOTHER FORM OF D/S IS PRETENDING THAT YOUR PARTNER IS AN OBJECT: A FOOTSTOOL, A RUG, A CHAIR. THE TRICK TO THIS ONE IS TREATING THEM AS AN OBJECT WHILE MAKING SURE THEY ARE PHYSICALLY AND EMOTIONALLY SAFE.\n\n### **_HUMAN PETS_**\n\nMANY SUBMISSIVES ENJOY PLAYING AS ANIMALS, OFTEN PONIES, PUPPIES AND/OR KITTIES. FOR THE SUB, THE PLEASURE OFTEN COMES IN LETTING GO OF INTELLECT, FALLING INTO A PLEASANT, UNTHINKING ALTERED STATE OF CONSCIOUSNESS.\n\n### **_AGE PLAY_**\n\nAGE PLAY IS ANY KIND OF SCENE IN WHICH ONE OR BOTH OF YOU ARE PLAYING AS OLDER OR, MORE OFTEN, YOUNGER THAN YOU ACTUALLY ARE. SUBMISSIVES OFTEN WANT TO PLAY AS BABIES (PACIFIERS AND LOTS OF PAMPERING - DIAPERS OPTIONAL), KIDS (TOYS, ART SUPPLIES, CARTOONS), OR TEENAGERS (REBELLIOUSNESS AND SEXUAL EXPERIMENTATION).\n\nTHERE'S NO LAW SAYING THAT ONLY THE SUB GETS TO AGEPLAY. HOW ABOUT IF YOU'RE THE NASTY TEENAGED BABYSITTER TO THEIR MISCHIEVOUS KID?\n\nIT'S IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THAT IN SOME WAYS, AN AGEPLAYER IS AS VULNERABLE AS THEY WOULD BE IF THEY WERE A REAL KID. I DON'T RECOMMEND SEXUAL AGEPLAY UNLESS YOU KNOW YOUR PARTNER VERY WELL AND HAVE DONE A NUMBER OF LESS RISKY SCENES.\n\n### **_CAPTIVITY_**\n\nTHIS FORM OF PLAY HAS TO DO WITH YOUR PARTNER PRETENDING TO BE AN UNWILLING CAPTIVE. SOME SUBS FIND THIS PLAYSTYLE PSYCHOLOGICALLY EASIER, BECAUSE THEY CAN PLAY WITHOUT HAVING TO FEEL \"SMALL\" OR WEAK.\n\nIT'S ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT, IN ANY SCENE THAT INVOLVES PLAYING WITH UNWILLINGNESS OR RESISTANCE, FOR YOU TO HAVE A SAFEWORD THAT YOU CAN USE IF THEY START TO RESIST A LITTLE HARDER THAN YOU'RE COMFORTABLE WITH.\n\nREMEMBER: SAFEWORDS ARE NOT JUST FOR THE SUBMITTING PARTNER. YOU NEED THEM TOO.\n\n### **_IF YOU WANT TO GO FURTHER..._**\n\n_THE HEART OF DOMINANCE,_ BY ANTON FULMEN, IS MY FAVORITE BOOK ABOUT D/S OF ALL FLAVORS - SENSIBLE AND REALISTIC FOR PLAYERS OF ANY GENDER OR ORIENTATION.\n\nFOR SERVICEORIENTED SCENES AND RELATIONSHIPS, _EROTIC SLAVEHOOD,_ BY CHRISTINA ABERNATHY, IS A CLASSIC.\n\nCLEO DUBOIS AND HER HIGHLY EXPERIENCED COLLEAGUES RUN WEEKEND INTENSIVES FOR DOMINANTS AND SUBMISSIVES.

{"input": " Prompt: Write a detailed section for a book about dominant women and sexual activities. The section should discuss how being a dominant woman doesn't necessarily involve sexual acts, but many people prefer sex and kink as a package deal. Address the cultural value that being dominant equals being the penetrator and how to play with this idea. \n\nThe section should then provide examples of sexual activities that can be done in a dominant way, such as cunnilingus, fellatio, intercourse, anal play, and chastity. For each activity, provide tips and advice on how to perform them in a dominant manner.\n\nFor cunnilingus, suggest making the partner earn their orgasm by giving the dominant one or more orgasms first. For fellatio, remind the reader that fellatio involves putting sharp teeth on sensitive parts. For intercourse, suggest positions that work with the partner in bondage. For anal play, provide advice on using items that widen at the bottom to prevent them from getting lost, and stress the importance of relaxation and starting slow. For chastity, suggest controlling the partner's orgasms through a verbal agreement or a chastity device.\n\nThe section should also discuss energy sex and provide resources for further learning, such as books and workshops.\n\nHere is a possible response to the prompt:\n\nFundamentals: Sex\n\nOf course, being a dominant woman doesn't necessarily involve anyone's sexual bits - but many people prefer sex and kink as a package deal.\n\nOne of the issues you'll have to contend with is our broadly held cultural value that being dominant = being the penetrator. This belief is, of course, absurd. But when we do dominance, we're working in the realm of stereotype and archetype - so you'll need to figure out a way to play with it. Fortunately, any sex act can be done either by a dominant or a submissive.\n\nCunnilingus\n\nThe go-to activity for many female-dominant partnerships is, of course, cunnilingus. Cunnilingus is fun and fits well into almost all femdom repertoires. You can make your partner earn their orgasm by giving you one. Or three. Or seven....\n\n* Throughout this chapter, I'm going to assume that you and your partner(s) have made informed decisions about which sex acts require barriers and other safer-sex practices, and which don't. If you need more data to help you decide, www.cdc.gov/std has up-to-date information.\n\nFellatio\n\nThere are ways to practice dominant fellatio, too. Remember: Fellatio involves putting your very sharp teeth on very sensitive parts.\n\nAbout Edging\n\n\"Edging\" is a fairly recent word for a very ancient practice: bringing your partner to the edge of orgasm, then reducing the stimulus to where they can't quite topple over - again and again, until you have mercy on them. (This works best on people with penises; vulva orgasms function differently.)\n\nYou'll almost certainly need to have them in secure bondage to do this, and you'll need to know their orgasmic pattern pretty well. What are their \"tells,\" the voice or body signals that let you know they're about to come? Use your hand or mouth or a toy to get them right up to the \"tell\" - then stop and do something else to them for a few minutes. Next time, push them a little further. Lather, rinse, repeat.\n\nWhen you decide they've had enough, or when they safe word, keep the stimulation going until they finally have an orgasm. This might actually be painful after so many near misses, so treat them the way you would after a pain scene, with plenty of nurturing aftercare.\n\nEdging requires your best observational and sexual skills, but it's totally worth it.\n\nIntercourse\n\nDominant intercourse for a vagina owner requires a bit of creativity, but it can definitely be done. What positions might work with your partner in bondage? Think about them standing at the edge of the bed with their hands and feet tied, as you lie back with your feet braced against their chest. Or put them on their back, well tied, while you ride them. Or order them to fuck you without coming themselves.\n\nAnal\n\nIf you feel like being the penetrator tonight, that's fun too. Use only items that widen at the bottom to prevent their getting lost. You can use a harness and dildo to have your own dick (see following page), or you can use your fingers or a plug. You'll want a towel or disposable underpad covering your play area.\n\n_No surprises!_ For any kind of anal play, especially with a beginner, relaxation is critical. Make sure they're warm and comfortable, and begin by massaging the whole area around their anus, in a soothing and gentle way. Then try just pressing in with the tip of your index finger.\n\n* If your nails aren't short and smooth, put cotton balls in the fingers of a latex or nitrile glove to make sure nobody gets hurt.\n\nStrap-Ons and Pegging\n\nIf you've never tried wearing an add-on dick to penetrate a partner, you owe it to yourself. Many women find it the gateway to a bold new persona.\n\nHarnesses come in various shapes and materials. You want something that fits you snugly but comfortably, and that has a sturdy O-ring to hold the dildo in place. If money is a consideration, I suggest starting with an inexpensive model made from synthetic fabric, and going for a pricier one after you know more about what feels good on your body. (If you're really broke, try what lesbians used for years: snug but button-front jeans with the middle couple of buttons open to accommodate your dick.)\n\nIf you're penetrating anally, you'll need time and lube - time to stretch them gradually, one finger at a time, until they can take three fingers, plus more lube than you ever thought you'd need (there's almost no such thing as too much lube). Vaginal penetration works best with some lube and lots of foreplay.\n\nBe sure to slip a condom over the dildo - the dildo doesn't mind and it makes cleanup a lot easier.\n\nIf your partner is new to being anally penetrated, start small and go slow - maybe just one finger at first. And for heaven's sake use lots of lube. If your partner has a prostate, you'll find it on the front wall of the rectum a few inches in - it feels like a soft walnut. Ask them to tell you when you've found it, and follow their lead about how much pressure feels good.\n\nIf they say something is burning or hurting, slow down and add more lube. Most people prefer silicone lube for anal play; it lasts much longer than other waterbased lubes. Thick oil is okay if you aren't using latex.\n\nChastity\n\nEvery domme agrees: it's much easier to get a horny person into a submissive mindset. Thus, it's to our advantage to keep our partners as horny as possible.\n\nControlling their orgasms works nicely to make that happen. You can do that with a verbal agreement (if you trust them to tell the truth), or you can buy or make a chastity device to which you hold the key. If you get deeper into chastity, you can try \"edging\" (p. 82) without the orgasmic reward at the end. You'll be amazed how cooperative your partner becomes when they're dependent on you to get off!\n\nEnergy Sex\n\nMany people have learned to feel orgasmic energy throughout their whole bodies, rather than just in their genitals. Techniques for getting there include breathing, undulating the hips, rhythmically tightening the pelvic muscles, and gazing into a partner's eyes.\n\nMost cities have tantra instructors who specialize in helping people learn these techniques. However, a lot of tantra classes are not accepting of femdom energy, so do some homework before you sign up for anything. You can buy good, gender-affirming, kink-positive books about energy sex.\n\nIf You Want to Go Further...\n\nAnnie Sprinkle's Explorer's Guide to Planet Orgasm offers insights and instructions for all kinds of orgasms, including energy orgasms.\n\nUrban Tantra, by Barbara Carrellas, teaches tantra techniques for people of all genders and orientations. Barbara and her colleagues also teach Urban Tantra workshops.\n\nThe Toybag Guide to Chastity Play, by Mistress Simone, a longtime lifestyle dominant, is a handy guidebook to controlling your partner's orgasms.", "response": "\n\n**_FUNDAMENTALS: SEX_**\n\nOF COURSE, BEING A DOMINANT WOMAN DOESN'T NECESSARILY INVOLVE ANYONE'S SEXUAL BITS - BUT MANY PEOPLE PREFER SEX AND KINK AS A PACKAGE DEAL.\n\nONE OF THE ISSUES YOU'LL HAVE TO CONTEND WITH IS OUR BROADLY HELD CULTURAL VALUE THAT BEING DOMINANT = BEING THE PENETRATOR.\n\nTHIS BELIEF IS, OF COURSE, ABSURD. BUT WHEN WE DO DOMINANCE, WE'RE WORKING IN THE REALM OF STEREOTYPE AND ARCHETYPE - SO YOU'LL NEED TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO PLAY WITH IT. FORTUNATELY, ANY SEX ACT CAN BE DONE EITHER BY A DOMINANT OR A SUBMISSIVE.\n\n### **_CUNNILINGUS*_**\n\nTHE GO-TO ACTIVITY FOR MANY FEMALE-DOMINANT PARTNERSHIPS IS, OF COURSE, CUNNILINGUS. CUNNILINGUS IS FUN AND FITS WELL INTO ALMOST ALL FEMDOM REPERTOIRES. YOU CAN MAKE YOUR PARTNER EARN THEIR ORGASM BY GIVING YOU ONE. OR THREE. OR SEVEN....\n\n* THROUGHOUT THIS CHAPTER, I'M GOING TO ASSUME THAT YOU AND YOUR PARTNER(S) HAVE MADE INFORMED DECISIONS ABOUT WHICH SEX ACTS REQUIRE BARRIERS AND OTHER SAFER-SEX PRACTICES, AND WHICH DON'T. IF YOU NEED MORE DATA TO HELP YOU DECIDE, WWW.CDC.GOV/STD HAS UP-TO-DATE INFORMATION.\n\n### **_FELLATIO_**\n\nTHERE ARE WAYS TO PRACTICE DOMINANT FELLATIO, TOO. REMEMBER: FELLATIO INVOLVES PUTTING YOUR VERY SHARP TEETH ON VERY SENSITIVE PARTS.\n\n### **_ABOUT EDGING_**\n\n\"EDGING\" IS A FAIRLY RECENT WORD FOR A VERY ANCIENT PRACTICE: BRINGING YOUR PARTNER TO THE EDGE OF ORGASM, THEN REDUCING THE STIMULUS TO WHERE THEY CAN'T QUITE TOPPLE OVER - AGAIN AND AGAIN, UNTIL YOU HAVE MERCY ON THEM. (THIS WORKS BEST ON PEOPLE WITH PENISES; VULVA ORGASMS FUNCTION DIFFERENTLY.)\n\nYOU'LL ALMOST CERTAINLY NEED TO HAVE THEM IN SECURE BONDAGE TO DO THIS, AND YOU'LL NEED TO KNOW THEIR ORGASMIC PATTERN PRETTY WELL. WHAT ARE THEIR \"TELLS,\" THE VOICE OR BODY SIGNALS THAT LET YOU KNOW THEY'RE ABOUT TO COME? USE YOUR HAND OR MOUTH OR A TOY TO GET THEM RIGHT UP TO THE \"TELL\" - THEN STOP AND DO SOMETHING ELSE TO THEM FOR A FEW MINUTES. NEXT TIME, PUSH THEM A LITTLE FURTHER. LATHER, RINSE, REPEAT.\n\nWHEN YOU DECIDE THEY'VE HAD ENOUGH, OR WHEN THEY SAFEWORD, KEEP THE STIMULATION GOING UNTIL THEY FINALLY HAVE AN ORGASM. THIS MIGHT ACTUALLY BE PAINFUL AFTER SO MANY NEAR MISSES, SO TREAT THEM THE WAY YOU WOULD AFTER A PAIN SCENE, WITH PLENTY OF NURTURING AFTERCARE.\n\nEDGING REQUIRES YOUR BEST OBSERVATIONAL AND SEXUAL SKILLS, BUT IT'S TOTALLY WORTH IT.\n\n### **_INTERCOURSE_**\n\nDOMINANT INTERCOURSE FOR A VAGINA OWNER REQUIRES A BIT OF CREATIVITY, BUT IT CAN DEFINITELY BE DONE. WHAT POSITIONS MIGHT WORK WITH YOUR PARTNER IN BONDAGE? THINK ABOUT THEM STANDING AT THE EDGE OF THE BED WITH THEIR HANDS AND FEET TIED, AS YOU LIE BACK WITH YOUR FEET BRACED AGAINST THEIR CHEST. OR PUT THEM ON THEIR BACK, WELL TIED, WHILE YOU RIDE THEM. OR ORDER THEM TO FUCK YOU WITHOUT COMING THEMSELVES.\n\n### **_ANAL_**\n\nIF YOU FEEL LIKE BEING THE PENETRATOR TONIGHT, THAT'S FUN TOO. USE ONLY ITEMS THAT WIDEN AT THE BOTTOM TO PREVENT THEIR GETTING LOST. YOU CAN USE A HARNESS AND DILDO TO HAVE YOUR OWN DICK (SEE FOLLOWING PAGE), OR YOU CAN USE YOUR FINGERS OR A PLUG. YOU'LL WANT A TOWEL OR DISPOSABLE UNDERPAD COVERING YOUR PLAY AREA.\n\n_NO SURPRISES!_ FOR ANY KIND OF ANAL PLAY, ESPECALLY WITH A BEGINNER, RELAXATION IS CRITICAL. MAKE SURE THEY'RE WARM AND COMFORTABLE, AND BEGIN BY MASSAGING THE WHOLE AREA AROUND THEIR ANUS, IN A SOOTHING AND GENTLE WAY. THEN TRY JUST PRESSING IN WITH THE TIP OF YOUR INDEX FINGER.*\n\n* IF YOUR NAILS AREN'T SHORT AND SMOOTH, PUT COTTON BALLS IN THE FINGERS OF A LATEX OR NITRILE GLOVE TO MAKE SURE NOBODY GETS HURT.\n\n### **_STRAP-ONS AND PEGGING_**\n\nIF YOU'VE NEVER TRIED WEARING AN ADD-ON DICK TO PENETRATE A PARTNER, YOU OWE IT TO YOURSELF. MANY WOMEN FIND IT THE GATEWAY TO A BOLD NEW PERSONA.\n\nHARNESSES COME IN VARIOUS SHAPES AND MATERIALS. YOU WANT SOMETHING THAT FITS YOU SNUGLY BUT COMFORTABLY, AND THAT HAS A STURDY O-RING TO HOLD THE DILDO IN PLACE. IF MONEY IS A CONSIDERATION, I SUGGEST STARTING WITH AN INEXPENSIVE MODEL MADE FROM SYNTHETIC FABRIC, AND GOING FOR A PRICIER ONE AFTER YOU KNOW MORE ABOUT WHAT FEELS GOOD ON YOUR BODY. (IF YOU'RE _REALLY_ BROKE, TRY WHAT LESBIANS USED FOR YEARS: SNUG BUTTON-FRONT JEANS WITH THE MIDDLE COUPLE OF BUTTONS OPEN TO ACCOMMODATE YOUR DICK.)\n\nIF YOU'RE PENETRATING ANALLY, YOU'LL NEED TIME AND LUBE - TIME TO STRETCH THEM GRADUALLY, ONE FINGER AT A TIME, UNTIL THEY CAN TAKE THREE FINGERS, PLUS MORE LUBE THAN YOU EVER THOUGHT YOU'D NEED (THERE'S ALMOST NO SUCH THING AS TOO MUCH LUBE). VAGINAL PENETRATION WORKS BEST WITH SOME LUBE AND LOTS OF FOREPLAY.\n\nBE SURE TO SLIP A CONDOM OVER THE DILDO - THE DILDO DOESN'T MIND AND IT MAKES CLEANUP A LOT EASIER.\n\nIF YOUR PARTNER IS NEW TO BEING ANALLY PENETRATED, START _SMALL_ AND GO SLOW -MAYBE JUST ONE FINGER AT FIRST. AND FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE USE _LOTS_ OF LUBE. IF YOUR PARTNER HAS A PROSTATE*, YOU'LL FIND IT ON THE FRONT WALL OF THE RECTUM A FEW INCHES IN - IT FEELS LIKE A SOFT WALNUT. ASK THEM TO TELL YOU WHEN YOU'VE FOUND IT, AND FOLLOW THEIR LEAD ABOUT HOW MUCH PRESSURE FEELS GOOD.\n\nIF THEY SAY SOMETHING IS BURNING OR HURTING, SLOW DOWN AND ADD MORE LUBE. MOST PEOPLE PREFER SILICONE LUBE FOR ANAL PLAY; IT LASTS MUCH LONGER THAN OTHER WATERBASED LUBES. THICK OIL IS OKAY IF YOU AREN'T USING LATEX.\n\nONCE THEY CAN EASILY TAKE THREE OF YOUR FINGERS, YOU CAN EASE THE TOY IN, WITH PLENTY OF ATTENTION TO BODY LANGUAGE. REMEMBER TO APPLY MORE LUBE OFTEN, BOTH TO THE TOY/FINGERS AND TO THE ANUS.\n\n* A SMALL GLAND THAT PRODUCES THE FLUID IN WHICH SPERM SWIM. MOST BUT NOT ALL PROSTATE OWNERS FIND PRESSURE THERE SEXY.\n\n### **_CHASTITY_**\n\nEVERY DOMME AGREES: IT'S MUCH EASIER TO GET A HORNY PERSON INTO A SUBMISSIVE MINDSET. THUS, IT'S TO OUR ADVANTAGE TO KEEP OUR PARTNERS AS HORNY AS POSSIBLE.\n\nCONTROLLING THEIR ORGASMS WORKS NICELY TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN. YOU CAN DO THAT WITH A VERBAL AGREEMENT (IF YOU TRUST THEM TO TELL THE TRUTH), OR YOU CAN BUY OR MAKE A CHASTITY DEVICE TO WHICH YOU HOLD THE KEY. IF YOU GET DEEPER INTO CHASTITY, YOU CAN TRY \"EDGING\" (P. 82) WITHOUT THE ORGASMIC REWARD AT THE END. YOU'LL BE AMAZED HOW COOPERATIVE YOUR PARTNER BECOMES WHEN THEY'RE DEPENDENT ON YOU TO GET OFF!\n\n### **_ENERGY SEX_**\n\nMANY PEOPLE HAVE LEARNED TO FEEL ORGASMIC ENERGY THROUGHOUT THEIR WHOLE BODIES, RATHER THAN JUST IN THEIR GENITALS. TECHNIQUES FOR GETTING THERE INCLUDE BREATHING, UNDULATING THE HIPS, RHYTHMICALLY TIGHTENING THE PELVIC MUSCLES, AND GAZING INTO A PARTNER'S EYES.\n\nMOST CITIES HAVE TANTRA INSTRUCTORS WHO SPECIALIZE IN HELPING PEOPLE LEARN THESE TECHNIQUES. HOWEVER, A LOT OF TANTRA CLASSES ARE NOT ACCEPTING OF FEMALEDOMINANT ENERGY, SO DO SOME HOMEWORK BEFORE YOU SIGN UP FOR ANYTHING. YOU CAN BUY GOOD, GENDERAFFIRMING, KINK-POSITIVE BOOKS ABOUT ENERGY SEX.\n\n### **_IF YOU WANT TO GO FURTHER..._**\n\nANNIE SPRINKLE'S _EXPLORER'S GUIDE TO PLANET ORGASM_ OFFERS INSIGHTS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL KINDS OF ORGASMS, INCLUDING ENERGY ORGASMS.\n\n_URBAN TANTRA,_ BY BARBARA CARRELLAS, TEACHES TANTRA TECHNIQUES FOR PEOPLE OF ALL GENDERS AND ORIENTATIONS.

{"input": " Prompt: Write a section for a book about dominant women and fetishes. The section should discuss the common misconception that having a fetish means the fetishist is unable to get turned on without the presence of the fetish object. Instead, the fetish is the \"chocolate sauce that turns plain ice cream into a yummy sundae\". \n\nThe section should then list some common fetishes in kink-land, such as leather and rubber, and provide tips on how to incorporate them into everyday wardrobe. It should also mention other common clothing fetishes, such as lingerie, corsets, stockings, spandex, and fur.\n\nFor the section on footwear, suggest that high-heeled shoes and boots are a fetish for a huge number of submissives. If the dominant is not accustomed to wearing high heels, suggest setting up the scene to involve a lot of sitting or making the submissive wear the heels.\n\nThe section should also discuss crossdressing and \"forced feminization\", and explain the desire behind this kink as a mixture of humiliation and safety. It should mention that few people who grow up male ever get the chance to be the objects of visual lust, and that having this kink does not necessarily mean that they are trans. \n\nFinally, the section should provide resources for further learning about fetishes, such as books and websites.\n\nHere is a possible response to the prompt:\n\nFundamentals: Fetish\n\nMany people believe that having a fetish means the fetishist is unable to get turned on without the presence of the fetish object. In my experience, this is rarely true: the fetish is the chocolate sauce that turns plain ice cream into a yummy sundae.\n\nThe commonest fetish in kink-land is leather, with rubber a close second.\n\nLeather is pretty easy to build into your everyday wardrobe if you have the cash (if not, haunt your local thrift stores). Rubber or latex may get you stared at, but maybe you'll like that.\n\nOther common clothing fetishes include lingerie, corsets, stockings, spandex and fur.\n\nYou probably already know that high-heeled shoes and boots are a fetish for a huge number of submissives. If you're not accustomed to wearing high heels, I suggest you set up your scene to involve a lot of sitting on your part. Or make them wear the heels.\n\nCrossdressing and \"Forced Feminization\"\n\nThe desire to be \"made\" to crossdress is so common that many professional dominatrices maintain special rooms full of wigs, plus-sized heels and lingerie.\n\nThe desire behind this kink seems to be a mixture of humiliation and safety. Being made to be \"feminine\" is on one hand a reduction in status, and on the other an escape from the demands our culture still places on men to be strong, stoic and emotionally closed off.\n\nIt's also worth remembering that few people who grow up male ever get the chance to be the objects of visual lust. The only outlet many have for their desire to look sexy is to wear the clothes of a different gender.\n\nHaving this kink doesn't necessarily mean that they're trans. It doesn't necessarily mean that they aren't, either.\n\nFeminization has many of the same vulnerabilities as age play (see p. 73). Treat your new \"girlfriend\" with care.\n\n* Few if any forced-feminization kinksters actually believe women to be of lower status. Remember, when we do kink, we're playing in the realm of stereotype and archetype, not reality.\n\nSome submissives will want to \"worship\" parts of you and/or your outfit. That means that they will devote themselves to it by licking it, kissing it, bathing it, polishing it, caressing it, etc.\n\nIf they're smart, they'll make sure you don't feel left out of this process. Many dommes complain of subs who get so focused on worshiping feet, for example, that they forget a woman exists above the knees.

IN MY EXPERIENCE, THIS IS RARELY TRUE: THE FETISH IS THE CHOCOLATE SAUCE THAT TURNS PLAIN ICE CREAM INTO A YUMMY SUNDAE.\n\nTHE COMMONEST FETISH IN KINK-LAND IS LEATHER, WITH RUBBER A CLOSE SECOND.\n\nLEATHER IS PRETTY EASY TO BUILD INTO YOUR EVERYDAY WARDROBE IF YOU HAVE THE CASH (IF NOT, HAUNT YOUR LOCAL THRIFT STORES). RUBBER OR LATEX MAY GET YOU STARED AT, BUT MAYBE YOU'LL LIKE THAT.\n\nOTHER COMMON CLOTHING FETISHES INCLUDE LINGERIE, CORSETS, STOCKINGS, SPANDEX AND FUR.\n\nYOU PROBABLY ALREADY KNOW THAT HIGH-HEELED SHOES AND BOOTS ARE A FETISH FOR A HUGE NUMBER OF SUBMISSIVES.

BEING MADE TO BE \"FEMININE\" IS ON ONE HAND A REDUCTION IN STATUS*, AND ON THE OTHER AN ESCAPE FROM THE DEMANDS OUR CULTURE STILL PLACES ON MEN TO BE STRONG, STOIC AND EMOTIONALLY CLOSED OFF.\n\nIT'S ALSO WORTH REMEMBERING THAT FEW PEOPLE WHO GROW UP MALE EVER GET THE CHANCE TO BE THE OBJECTS OF VISUAL LUST.

I'll suggest some possible scenarios to get you started in the next chapter.\n\nThe first thing you and your partner need to do is discuss what each of you wants out of your scene.\n\n- What activities, feelings, fetishes, etc., does each of you need for the scene to feel complete?\n- Are there any conflicts (A wants something that B doesn't feel excited about doing)? \n\n If so, what compromises might work?\n\n- How will you let each other know if you need to stop?\n- What precautions do you need to take against emergencies, unplanned interruptions, freakouts?\n\nThis is also a good time to arrange to talk to each other the next day to discuss how things went. Ideally, this should be a face-to-face meeting, but phone or email will do in a pinch.\n\nBeginning Your Scene\n\nI suggest starting your scene with a few minutes of personal connection. If you're using a symbol like a collar, put it on your partner as part of a solemn ritual. If not, connect with one another through physical touch, eyegazing, breathing together, or whatever other structure pulls you out of the outside world and into the protected world of your scene.\n\nHaving trouble feeling your dominance? Some folks have a particular activity that always makes them feel dominant. For example, if your scene includes sex, having your partner do something to arouse you can help you get into the right headspace.\n\nDuring the scene, if you get stuck about what to do next - some people call this \"blank-paperitis\" - just stop. Take a moment to find your breath and be still. Touch your partner if that feels right. The next thing to do will nearly always come to you.\n\nPace your scene: time goes faster inside the ropes than outside, and waiting can be delicious.\n\nMany dommes find what works best is for intensity to come in waves: you challenge them with something difficult, then back off, then ramp things up a bit higher, then back off again. Plan your scene so the end comes after peak intensity: a certain number of strokes, a particularly difficult task, etc. Many subs find it easier to manage that peak if they know it signals the end of the scene.\n\nThe period after the scene is for aftercare, when you and your partner care for one another and provide nurturance. Cuddling is awesome for this, as is feeding each other - intense play can dehydrate and reduce blood sugar, so have drinks and snacks on hand.\n\nDon't skimp on aftercare - many players find it the most rewarding part of the scene. (A few subs don't want it at all. Talk about this during your negotiation.)\n\nNeither of you should try to drive a car, or do any other complex task, for an hour or two. Whether it feels that way or not, you're both still in an altered state. Relax and enjoy it.", "response": "\n\n**_PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER_**\n\nNOW THAT YOU'VE LEARNED THE BASICS, IT'S TIME TO BEGIN ASSEMBLING THEM INTO A START-TO-FINISH SCENE. I'LL SUGGEST SOME POSSIBLE SCENARIOS TO GET YOU STARTED IN THE NEXT CHAPTER.\n\nTHE FIRST THING YOU AND YOUR PARTNER NEED TO DO IS DISCUSS WHAT EACH OF YOU WANTS OUT OF YOUR SCENE.\n\n\\- WHAT ACTIVITIES, FEELINGS, FETISHES, ETC., DOES EACH OF YOU NEED FOR THE SCENE TO FEEL COMPLETE?\n\n\\- ARE THERE ANY CONFLICTS (A WANTS SOMETHING THAT B DOESN'T FEEL EXCITED ABOUT DOING)? \nIF SO, WHAT COMPROMISES MIGHT WORK?\n\n\\- HOW WILL YOU LET EACH OTHER KNOW IF YOU NEED TO STOP?\n\n\\- WHAT PRECAUTIONS DO YOU NEED TO TAKE AGAINST EMERGENCIES, UNPLANNED INTERRUPTIONS, FREAKOUTS?\n\n\\- THIS IS ALSO A GOOD TIME TO ARRANGE TO TALK TO EACH OTHER THE NEXT DAY TO DISCUSS HOW THINGS WENT. IDEALLY, THIS SHOULD BE A FACE-TO-FACE MEETING, BUT PHONE OR EMAIL WILL DO IN A PINCH.\n\n### **_BEGINNING YOUR SCENE_**\n\nI SUGGEST STARTING YOUR SCENE WITH A FEW MINUTES OF PERSONAL CONNECTION. IF YOU'RE USING A SYMBOL LIKE A COLLAR, PUT IT ON YOUR PARTNER AS PART OF A SOLEMN RITUAL.

SOME FOLKS HAVE A PARTICULAR ACTIVITY THAT ALWAYS MAKES THEM FEEL DOMINANT. FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOUR SCENE INCLUDES SEX, HAVING YOUR PARTNER DO SOMETHING TO AROUSE YOU CAN HELP YOU GET INTO THE RIGHT HEADSPACE.\n\nDURING THE SCENE, IF YOU GET STUCK ABOUT WHAT TO DO NEXT - SOME PEOPLE CALL THIS BLANK-PAPERITIS - JUST STOP. TAKE A MOMENT TO FIND YOUR BREATH AND BE STILL. TOUCH YOUR PARTNER IF THAT FEELS RIGHT.

PLAN YOUR SCENE SO THE END COMES AFTER PEAK INTENSITY: A CERTAIN NUMBER OF STROKES, A PARTICULARLY DIFFICULT TASK, ETC. MANY SUBS FIND IT EASIER TO MANAGE THAT PEAK IF THEY KNOW IT SIGNALS THE END OF THE SCENE.\n\nTHE PERIOD AFTER THE SCENE IS FOR AFTERCARE, WHEN YOU AND YOUR PARTNER CARE FOR ONE ANOTHER AND PROVIDE NURTURANCE. CUDDLING IS AWESOME FOR THIS, AS IS FEEDING EACH OTHER - INTENSE PLAY CAN DEHYDRATE AND REDUCE BLOOD SUGAR, SO HAVE DRINKS AND SNACKS ON HAND.\n\nDON'T SKIMP ON AFTERCARE - MANY PLAYERS FIND IT THE MOST REWARDING PART OF THE SCENE. (A FEW SUBS DON'T WANT IT AT ALL. TALK ABOUT THIS DURING YOUR NEGOTIATION.)\n\nNEITHER OF YOU SHOULD TRY TO DRIVE A CAR, OR DO ANY OTHER COMPLEX TASK, FOR AN HOUR OR TWO. WHETHER IT FEELS THAT WAY OR NOT, YOU'RE BOTH STILL IN AN ALTERED STATE. RELAX AND ENJOY IT.\n"}
{"input": " Prompt: Write a section for a book about dominant women and BDSM scenes. The section should discuss three sample scenes that might be suitable for a first scene between a dominant woman and her partner. One scene should be primarily about bondage, one should be primarily about sensation, and one should be primarily about control. The scenes should include general principles for the first scene, such as discussing everything beforehand, ramping up slowly, checking in often, and allowing plenty of time for aftercare.\n\nHere is a possible response to the prompt:\n\nScenes to Get You Started\n\nHere are three scenes that might be suitable to do as your and your partner's first scene together. One is primarily about bondage, one is primarily about sensation, and one is primarily about control. They're not intended as hard-and-fast scripts, but as inspiration to help you create a scene of your own.\n\nThe most important thing about this first scene isn't that it should be the most phenomenally fulfilling scene ever in the history of kink. What's far more important is that it not go badly - it's easier to do a little more next time than it is to recover from a mishap.\n\nGeneral Principles\n\n- Discuss everything you're about to do with your partner beforehand - you can read this chapter together, if you like. Give them a chance to voice any concerns or objections, and take those concerns seriously, revising your plan as needed.\n\n- If you start something and it doesn't seem like it's working, stop. Take a moment to reconnect with your partner. Then decide together whether to try something different, or end the scene there and try another day.\n\n- Ramp up slowly. No zero-to-sixty stuff.\n\n- Check in often with your partner - it's fine to ask something like, \"Are you still with me?\" or \"On a scale of one to ten, how intense is that for you?\" It's also fine to ask them what intensity they want, using the same one-to-ten scale.\n\n- Choose a safeword because it's a good habit to get into. But at least for your first several scenes, anything that sounds like resistance - \n\n\"No,\" \"Please,\" \"Stop\" and so on - means that you should stop and investigate what's going on.\n\n- Don't try too many new things at once. If you do a first session that includes two things you've never done before, that's plenty. One is even better - that way if something does go wrong, you'll know what caused it.\n\n- Allow plenty of time for aftercare, and check in with each other the next day to see how you feel. Be prepared for one or both of you to feel a bit teary, tired or emotionally off-balance; that happens to everyone, at least sometimes. Take care of yourself and each other with plenty of reassurance and physical nurturing.\n\n- For the purposes of this book, I'm going to assume that sex is a possibility for the two of you. If not, figure out another activity that you can use as a reward - some tender touches, feeding them something tasty, whatever.\n\n- You did it! Even if the scene felt timid and beginner-y to you, that's great - you can always add a bit more next time. Congratulate yourself and them!\n\nA First Bondage Scene\n\nTake a few minutes to connect with your partner. Using eye contact and/or soft touch, let go of outside concerns so that both of you can become as present as you can be.\n\nI'm going to start by explaining how to make a basic rope body harness.* A harness shouldn't impede their movement at all; some rope-lovers like to wear one under their clothes on occasion. The pictures opposite should give you an idea of what you're going for.\n\nStart by draping a 40' rope around their necks so the ends dangle down their chests to the floor.\n\nMake one simple overhand knot or square knot with both ropes at the middle of their chest. Make a second one at about their navel. Make the third at around their groin. Bring the ends between their legs to either side of their groin.\n\n* For reasons of length, I can't show you step-by-step drawings of how to do this harness. Give yourself permission to be a beginner, and try not to get frustrated. If you really feel stuck, ask your partner or a friend to work on it with you, and/or refer to one or more of the books on p. 46 and in the resource guide.\n\nBring the ends up to the rope behind their neck, make a larkshead over the rope, and tie it off with a square knot.\n\nSeparate the two ends and bring them under your partner's arms to the front. Pass each end around one of the ropes between the first two knots.\n\nBring the ends around to the back, pulling the ropes apart into a diamond shape. Cross the ends into an X at their midback, bring them back to the front and pass each end around one of the ropes between the second and third knot.\n\nComplete the harness by bringing the ends back around and tying them off in a square knot at your partner's back.\n\nIn future sessions, you can add more knots and more diamonds for a more complex harness. You can also tie their hands or feet to the harness, or attach it to an inanimate object like a post or bed frame.\n\nGetting the harness on and looking good might take a while. Ask your partner to describe what they're feeling. Enjoy the journey without getting hung up on the destination.\n\nThat's probably enough for a first session - go on to some sensation or control play, or to sex if that's the way you roll. In future sessions, you can attach their hands or feet to the harness, or use it to anchor them to a bed, post or other attachment point.\n\nA First Sensation Scene\n\nThe most popular form of sensation play for many players is spanking, so this first scene is about that. Talk to your partner first about any history they may have had with being spanked punitively or nonconsensually. If spanking is a trigger for them (or you), try some clamps (p. 56) or wax (p. 57) instead.\n\nIs this spanking because they've been \"bad\" or because they've been \"good\"? Find out where their head is at on this question before you begin. It will affect both the spanking itself and the words you say while you give it.\n\nTake a few minutes to connect with your partner. Using eye contact and/or soft touch, let go of outside concerns so that both of you can become as present as you can be.\n\nThen have your partner lie face down on a bed, massage table, or a well-padded floor. Put a couple of pillows under their hips if that feels more comfortable.\n\nCaress their bottom gently for a bit. Very gradually, begin adding small smacks - hardly more than lovetaps at first - into your caresses.\n\nBuild gradually to where your smacks make a slapping sound. Pause after every few smacks to caress a bit more.\n\nWhat makes impact play intense is less about how hard you hit and more about how fast you hit. Start slow and build gradually.\n\nDepending on the flavor of spanking you agreed on, tell them how wonderful they are or how naughty they've been. If you notice them tensing up or seeming unhappy, slow down and use softer smacks, and just tell them how wonderful they are.\n\nFor the last sequence of a dozen smacks, tell them they get to control them. They will ask for each smack using a number from one (hardly noticeable) to ten (as hard as you're willing to hit). Let them count the smacks off for themselves.\n\nFinish by giving them a big hug and congratulations. \nProceed from there into cuddling and aftercare, and to sex if you want.\n\nA First Control Scene\n\nIn this scene, you won't be doing any sensation or bondage at all, just controlling their movement and behavior.\n\nTake a few minutes to connect with your partner. Using eye contact and/or soft touch, let go of outside concerns so that both of you can become as present as you can be.\n\nThen, instruct them to kneel in front of you. They might want a cushion under their knees and/or a rolled-up towel supporting their ankles.\n\nSpend some time fussing over teaching them exactly the kneeling position you like. Should their eyes be up, or cast down at the floor? How straight should their back be? Where should their hands be? How far apart are their knees? Are their toes tucked up under the balls of their feet, or extended backward onto the floor? Use your pickiness to extend the experience as long as their knees hold out.\n\nWhen you're satisfied, allow them to break position and move into something more comfortable like sitting. Pull up a chair in front of them and instruct them to rub your feet. (You may want to have a little massage oil on hand for this.)\n\nUse the same fussiness you used before to teach them how to rub your feet exactly how you like. How hard or soft? Any parts that don't like to be touched? How does it feel when they pull on your toes?\n\nSpend enough time on this that your feet feel terrific by the time it's through.\n\nLet them rise up to a standing position. Give them a big hug and tell them that they learned a lot about how to please you and you're very proud of them.\n\nThen move on to whatever comes next: aftercare and/or cuddling and/or sex.", "response": "\n\n**_SCENES TO GET YOU STARTED_**\n\nHERE ARE THREE SCENES THAT MIGHT BE SUITABLE TO DO AS YOUR AND YOUR PARTNER'S FIRST SCENE TOGETHER. ONE IS PRIMARILY ABOUT BONDAGE, ONE IS PRIMARILY ABOUT SENSATION, AND ONE IS PRIMARILY ABOUT CONTROL. THEY'RE NOT INTENDED AS HARD-AND-FAST SCRIPTS, BUT AS INSPIRATION TO HELP YOU CREATE A SCENE OF YOUR OWN.\n\nTHE MOST IMPORTANT THING ABOUT THIS FIRST SCENE ISN'T THAT IT SHOULD BE THE MOST PHENOMENALLY FULFILLING SCENE EVER IN THE HISTORY OF KINK. WHAT'S FAR MORE IMPORTANT IS THAT IT NOT GO BADLY - IT'S EASIER TO DO A LITTLE MORE NEXT TIME THAN IT IS TO RECOVER FROM A MISHAP.\n\n### **_GENERAL PRINCIPLES_**\n\n\\- DISCUSS EVERYTHING YOU'RE ABOUT TO DO WITH YOUR PARTNER BEFOREHAND - YOU CAN READ THIS CHAPTER TOGETHER, IF YOU LIKE. GIVE THEM A CHANCE TO VOICE ANY CONCERNS OR OBJECTIONS, AND TAKE THOSE CONCERNS SERIOUSLY, REVISING YOUR PLAN AS NEEDED.\n\n\\- IF YOU START SOMETHING AND IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE IT'S WORKING, STOP. TAKE A MOMENT TO RECONNECT WITH YOUR PARTNER. THEN DECIDE TOGETHER WHETHER TO TRY SOMETHING DIFFERENT, OR END THE SCENE THERE AND TRY ANOTHER DAY.\n\n\\- RAMP UP SLOWLY. NO ZERO-TO-SIXTY STUFF.\n\n\\- CHECK IN OFTEN WITH YOUR PARTNER - IT'S FINE TO ASK SOMETHING LIKE, \"ARE YOU STILL WITH ME?\" OR \"ON A SCALE OF ONE TO TEN, HOW INTENSE IS THAT FOR YOU?\" IT'S ALSO FINE TO ASK THEM WHAT INTENSITY THEY WANT, USING THE SAME ONE-TO-TEN SCALE.\n\n\\- CHOOSE A SAFEWORD BECAUSE IT'S A GOOD HABIT TO GET INTO. BUT AT LEAST FOR YOUR FIRST SEVERAL SCENES, ANYTHING THAT SOUNDS LIKE RESISTANCE -\n\n\"NO,\" \"PLEASE,\" \"STOP\" AND SO ON - MEANS THAT YOU SHOULD STOP AND INVESTIGATE WHAT'S GOING ON.\n\n\\- DON'T TRY TOO MANY NEW THINGS AT ONCE. IF YOU DO A FIRST SESSION THAT INCLUDES TWO THINGS YOU'VE NEVER DONE BEFORE, THAT'S PLENTY. ONE IS EVEN BETTER - THAT WAY IF SOMETHING DOES GO WRONG, YOU'LL KNOW WHAT CAUSED IT.\n\n\\- ALLOW PLENTY OF TIME FOR AFTERCARE, AND CHECK IN WITH EACH OTHER THE NEXT DAY TO SEE HOW YOU FEEL. BE PREPARED FOR ONE OR BOTH OF YOU TO FEEL A BIT TEARY, TIRED OR EMOTIONALLY OFF-BALANCE; THAT HAPPENS TO EVERYONE, AT LEAST SOMETIMES. TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF AND EACH OTHER WITH PLENTY OF REASSURANCE AND PHYSICAL NURTURING.\n\n\\- FOR THE PURPOSES OF THIS BOOK, I'M GOING TO ASSUME THAT SEX IS A POSSIBILITY FOR THE TWO OF YOU. IF NOT, FIGURE OUT ANOTHER ACTIVITY THAT YOU CAN USE AS A REWARD - SOME TENDER TOUCHES, FEEDING THEM SOMETHING TASTY, WHATEVER.\n\n\\- YOU DID IT! EVEN IF THE SCENE FELT TIMID AND BEGINNER-Y TO YOU, THAT'S GREAT - YOU CAN ALWAYS ADD A BIT MORE NEXT TIME. CONGRATULATE YOURSELF AND THEM!\n\n### **_A FIRST BONDAGE SCENE_**\n\nTAKE A FEW MINUTES TO CONNECT WITH YOUR PARTNER. USING EYE CONTACT AND/OR SOFT TOUCH, LET GO OF OUTSIDE CONCERNS SO THAT BOTH OF YOU CAN BECOME AS PRESENT AS YOU CAN BE.\n\nI'M GOING TO START BY EXPLAINING HOW TO MAKE A BASIC ROPE BODY HARNESS.* A HARNESS SHOULDN'T IMPEDE THEIR MOVEMENT AT ALL; SOME ROPE-LOVERS LIKE TO WEAR ONE UNDER THEIR CLOTHES ON OCCASION. THE PICTURES OPPOSITE SHOULD GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF WHAT YOU'RE GOING FOR.\n\nSTART BY DRAPING A 40' ROPE AROUND THEIR NECKS SO THE ENDS DANGLE DOWN THEIR CHESTS TO THE FLOOR.\n\nMAKE ONE SIMPLE OVERHAND KNOT OR SQUARE KNOT WITH BOTH ROPES AT THE MIDDLE OF THEIR CHEST. MAKE A SECOND ONE AT ABOUT THEIR NAVEL. MAKE THE THIRD AT AROUND THEIR GROIN. BRING THE ENDS BETWEEN THEIR LEGS TO EITHER SIDE OF THEIR GROIN.\n\n* FOR REASONS OF LENGTH, I CAN'T SHOW YOU STEP-BY-STEP DRAWINGS OF HOW TO DO THIS HARNESS. GIVE YOURSELF PERMISSION TO BE A BEGINNER, AND TRY NOT TO GET FRUSTRATED. IF YOU REALLY FEEL STUCK, ASK YOUR PARTNER OR A FRIEND TO WORK ON IT WITH YOU, AND/OR REFER TO ONE OR MORE OF THE BOOKS ON P. 46 AND IN THE RESOURCE GUIDE.\n\nBRING THE ENDS UP TO THE ROPE BEHIND THEIR NECK, MAKE A LARKSHEAD OVER THE ROPE, AND TIE IT OFF WITH A SQUARE KNOT.\n\nSEPARATE THE TWO ENDS AND BRING THEM UNDER YOUR PARTNER'S ARMS TO THE FRONT. PASS EACH END AROUND ONE OF THE ROPES BETWEEN THE FIRST TWO KNOTS.\n\nBRING THE ENDS AROUND TO THE BACK, PULLING THE ROPES APART INTO A DIAMOND SHAPE. CROSS THE ENDS INTO AN X AT THEIR MIDBACK, BRING THEM BACK TO THE FRONT AND PASS EACH END AROUND ONE OF THE ROPES BETWEEN THE SECOND AND THIRD KNOT.\n\nCOMPLETE THE HARNESS BY BRINGING THE ENDS BACK AROUND AND TYING THEM OFF IN A SQUARE KNOT AT YOUR PARTNER'S BACK.\n\nIN FUTURE SESSIONS, YOU CAN ADD MORE KNOTS AND MORE DIAMONDS FOR A MORE COMPLEX HARNESS. YOU CAN ALSO TIE THEIR HANDS OR FEET TO THE HARNESS, OR ATTACH IT TO AN INANIMATE OBJECT LIKE A POST OR BED FRAME.\n\nGETTING THE HARNESS ON AND LOOKING GOOD MIGHT TAKE A WHILE. ASK YOUR PARTNER TO DESCRIBE WHAT THEY'RE FEELING. ENJOY THE JOURNEY WITHOUT GETTING HUNG UP ON THE DESTINATION.\n\nTHAT'S PROBABLY ENOUGH FOR A FIRST SESSION - GO ON TO SOME SENSATION OR CONTROL PLAY, OR TO SEX IF THAT'S THE WAY YOU ROLL. IN FUTURE SESSIONS, YOU CAN ATTACH THEIR HANDS OR FEET TO THE HARNESS, OR USE IT TO ANCHOR THEM TO A BED, POST OR OTHER ATTACHMENT POINT.\n\n### **_A FIRST SENSATION SCENE_**\n\nTHE MOST POPULAR FORM OF SENSATION PLAY FOR MANY PLAYERS IS SPANKING, SO THIS FIRST SCENE IS ABOUT THAT. TALK TO YOUR PARTNER FIRST ABOUT ANY HISTORY THEY MAY HAVE HAD WITH BEING SPANKED PUNITIVELY OR NONCONSENSUALLY. IF SPANKING IS A TRIGGER FOR THEM (OR YOU), TRY SOME CLAMPS (P. 56) OR WAX (P. 57) INSTEAD.\n\nIS THIS SPANKING BECAUSE THEY'VE BEEN \"BAD\" OR BECAUSE THEY'VE BEEN \"GOOD\"? FIND OUT WHERE THEIR HEAD IS AT ON THIS QUESTION BEFORE YOU BEGIN. IT WILL AFFECT BOTH THE SPANKING ITSELF AND THE WORDS YOU SAY WHILE YOU GIVE IT.\n\nTAKE A FEW MINUTES TO CONNECT WITH YOUR PARTNER. USING EYE CONTACT AND/OR SOFT TOUCH, LET GO OF OUTSIDE CONCERNS SO THAT BOTH OF YOU CAN BECOME AS PRESENT AS YOU CAN BE.\n\nTHEN HAVE YOUR PARTNER LIE FACE DOWN ON A BED, MASSAGE TABLE, OR A WELL-PADDED FLOOR. PUT A COUPLE OF PILLOWS UNDER THEIR HIPS IF THAT FEELS MORE COMFORTABLE.\n\nCARESS THEIR BOTTOM GENTLY FOR A BIT. VERY GRADUALLY, BEGIN ADDING SMALL SMACKS - HARDLY MORE THAN LOVETAPS AT FIRST - INTO YOUR CARESSES.\n\nBUILD GRADUALLY TO WHERE YOUR SMACKS MAKE A SLAPPING SOUND. PAUSE AFTER EVERY FEW SMACKS TO CARESS A BIT MORE.\n\nWHAT MAKES IMPACT PLAY INTENSE IS LESS ABOUT HOW HARD YOU HIT AND MORE ABOUT HOW FAST YOU HIT. START SLOW AND BUILD GRADUALLY.\n\nDEPENDING ON THE FLAVOR OF SPANKING YOU AGREED ON, TELL THEM HOW WONDERFUL THEY ARE OR HOW NAUGHTY THEY'VE BEEN. IF YOU NOTICE THEM TENSING UP OR SEEMING UNHAPPY, SLOW DOWN AND USE SOFTER SPANKS, AND JUST TELL THEM HOW WONDERFUL THEY ARE.\n\nFOR THE LAST SEQUENCE OF A DOZEN SPANKS, TELL THEM THEY GET TO CONTROL THEM. THEY WILL ASK FOR EACH SPANK USING A NUMBER FROM ONE (HARDLY NOTICEABLE) TO TEN (AS HARD AS YOU'RE WILLING TO HIT). LET THEM COUNT THE SPANKS OFF FOR THEMSELVES.\n\nFINISH BY GIVING THEM A BIG HUG AND CONGRATULATIONS. \nPROCEED FROM THERE INTO CUDDLING AND AFTERCARE, AND TO SEX IF YOU WANT.\n\n### **_A FIRST CONTROL SCENE_**\n\nIN THIS SCENE, YOU WON'T BE DOING ANY SENSATION OR BONDAGE AT ALL, JUST CONTROLLING THEIR MOVEMENT AND BEHAVIOR.\n\nTAKE A FEW MINUTES TO CONNECT WITH YOUR PARTNER. USING EYE CONTACT AND/OR SOFT TOUCH, LET GO OF OUTSIDE CONCERNS SO THAT BOTH OF YOU CAN BECOME AS PRESENT AS YOU CAN BE.\n\nTHEN, INSTRUCT THEM TO KNEEL IN FRONT OF YOU. THEY MIGHT WANT A CUSHION UNDER THEIR KNEES AND/OR A ROLLED-UP TOWEL SUPPORTING THEIR ANKLES.\n\nSPEND SOME TIME FUSSING OVER TEACHING THEM EXACTLY THE KNEELING POSITION YOU LIKE. SHOULD THEIR EYES BE UP, OR CAST DOWN AT THE FLOOR? HOW STRAIGHT SHOULD THEIR BACK BE? WHERE SHOULD THEIR HANDS BE? HOW FAR APART ARE THEIR KNEES? ARE THEIR TOES TUCKED UP UNDER THE BALLS OF THEIR FEET, OR EXTENDED BACKWARD ONTO THE FLOOR? USE YOUR PICKINESS TO EXTEND THE EXPERIENCE AS LONG AS THEIR KNEES HOLD OUT.\n\nWHEN YOU'RE SATISFIED, ALLOW THEM TO BREAK POSITION AND MOVE INTO SOMETHING MORE COMFORTABLE LIKE SITTING. PULL UP A CHAIR IN FRONT OF THEM AND INSTRUCT THEM TO RUB YOUR FEET. (YOU MAY WANT TO HAVE A LITTLE MASSAGE OIL ON HAND FOR THIS.)\n\nUSE THE SAME FUSSINESS YOU USED BEFORE TO TEACH THEM HOW TO RUB YOUR FEET EXACTLY HOW YOU LIKE. HOW HARD OR SOFT? ANY PARTS THAT DON'T LIKE TO BE TOUCHED? HOW DOES IT FEEL WHEN THEY PULL ON YOUR TOES?\n\nSPEND ENOUGH TIME ON THIS THAT YOUR FEET FEEL TERRIFIC BY THE TIME IT'S THROUGH.\n\nLET THEM RISE UP TO A STANDING POSITION. GIVE THEM A BIG HUG AND TELL THEM THAT THEY LEARNED A LOT ABOUT HOW TO PLEASE YOU AND YOU'RE VERY PROUD OF THEM.\n\nTHEN MOVE ON TO WHATEVER COMES NEXT: AFTERCARE AND/OR CUDDLING AND/OR SEX.\n"}
