Under The Whip

Finding Your Voice in Negotiation and Vetting

TLDR: This is just my personal opinion. I know that some dynamics and relationships choose not to use safewords, contratcts, instead following approaches like PRICK, RACK, and others. There’s nothing inherently wrong with that. In the end, there’s no “one right way” to Power Exchange. What matters is that both parties are fully informed and enthusiastically consenting. When you’re negotiating a power exchange or vetting a potential partner, the very first thing you need to do is know yourself.  Not just the surface “I like this, I don’t like that,” but truly know, deep down, your wants, your needs, your absolute deal breakers. You have to understand the kind of submissive (or Dominant) you are, and what type of dynamic you are truly seeking.

Because if you don’t know these things, you’ll have no foundation to stand on when it comes time to communicate them. And in power exchange, communication isn’t optional, it is essential.  Once you know yourself, your next priority is to use your voice. Speak up about what you want and what you need. Don’t sit silently and hope the other person will somehow just know. You are an active participant in your relationship, not a passive bystander. That means clear communication, enthusiastic consent, and awareness of the risks involved in the choices you make.

And yes, safewords are for everyone.Dominants can (and should) use them too. They are not a sign of weakness, they’re a sign of mutual care and safety. If you’re unwilling to speak your needs, express when something’s wrong, or use a safeword when necessary, you’re not only putting yourself in danger, you’re also making yourself unsafe for others to engage with.  If you allow yourself to be manipulated or coerced into doing things you don’t want, whether that’s signing a contract, entering a verbal agreement, or accepting a dynamic, honorific or S&M situations, simply because you’re too afraid to speak up or set a boundary, you’re not protecting yourself or the person you’re engaging with.

The truth is, the dynamic will only be as healthy and safe as the parameters you set together. And silence? Silence can set more dangerous terms than you realize. Be very aware of what you’re agreeing to. Be equally aware of what you’re not consenting to but allowing out of fear, fear they’ll be upset, fear they’ll walk away. Sometimes, letting people walk away is the healthiest, safest thing you can do. Because in the end, someone who will not respect your voice, your boundaries, and your safety does not deserve your submission , or your Dominance.

My personal social media pages and my DMs are my little corner of the world, spaces I’ve carefully curated to reflect who I am, what I value, and the kind of energy I want around me. This is my space, and I take pride in keeping it safe, respectful, and comfortable for myself and those I welcome here.

Because of that, I will never tolerate anyone coming into my comment sections, whether on my blogs, my writings, or my posts, and especially into my DMs using language I do not appreciate. I fully understand that over time, some words that were once slurs have been reclaimed and are now used in lighthearted or celebratory ways by many. That’s fine. In public spaces or on someone else’s page, I have no problem hearing people use those words for themselves. That’s their choice.

But for me, those same words still carry a negative weight. They are not welcome here. This is my space, and I am entitled to decide what is permitted in it. If you cannot respect that, the door is right there. You don’t have to comment, you don’t have to send me a friend request, and quite honestly, you don’t have to follow me.

If my boundaries mean I “won’t be welcome” in certain open spaces, so be it. That’s perfectly acceptable. I will always respect the rules and boundaries of someone else’s space, and I expect the same in return. That’s how healthy interaction works, it is called reciprocation.

So if you’re here, know this: I welcome connection, conversation, and kindness. But my boundaries are not up for debate. Respect them, and you’ll always be welcome in my corner of the world.

My How to Vet a Dominant or Submissive for a Power Exchange Dynamic

TLDR: There’s no single “right” way to have a kinky dynamic or relationship, what matters most is that it’s built on consent and brings you joy.

The length of a vetting period should feel right to both you and the person you’re vetting (and who is vetting you). For some, that process may take years,for others, it might be just a couple of weeks. As long as you understand the risks, give informed consent, and it truly fulfills you, follow the path that makes you happiest.

Understand What Vetting Really Means
Vetting isn’t about judging someone’s worth as a human, it is about ensuring that your values, boundaries, safety needs, and dynamic expectations are compatible.
It is a process, not a one time test. The goal is to:

Build trust over time
Verify safety and respect
Avoid abuse, manipulation, or mismatched dynamics

Know Your Own Needs Before You Start
Before you vet anyone else, get crystal clear on:

Your role (Dominant, submissive, switch, service based, protocol heavy, etc.)
Your non negotiables (hard limits, must haves)
Your desired dynamic style (24/7 TPE, scene based, long distance, poly/kink friendly, etc.)
Your personal boundaries (privacy, aftercare needs, emotional safety)

You can’t properly assess someone if you don’t know what you’re looking for.

Start With Background Checks (Soft & Hard Vetting)
Soft Vetting – casual, low risk steps:

Read their FetLife or social media posts: Are they consistent, respectful, and reflective of the role they claim?

Look for community involvement: Do they attend munches, workshops, or events?
Pay attention to how they treat everyone, not just people they want something from.
Hard Vetting – deeper verification:

Ask for references from past partners or respected community members.
Confirm they’re not on known predator/abuser watch lists (some communities maintain these).

Check if their stories match over time, liars often contradict themselves.

Ask Deep, Specific Questions
You’re looking for how they think, not just what they say.
Some example questions:

For Vetting a Dominant:
How do you handle consent violations, yours or someone else’s?
How do you approach aftercare?
How do you manage your own emotions when a scene doesn’t go as planned?
What’s your philosophy on discipline and punishment in the dynamic?
How do you ensure a submissive feels safe bringing concerns to you?
What kind of car do you drive?
Describe the room your computer is in, in detail.
For Vetting a Submissive:
What does service or submission mean to you?
How do you handle tasks or rules you dislike?
How do you communicate needs when you’re afraid of disappointing your Dominant?
How do you handle emotional drop after play or discipline?
What’s your experience with limits, and how do you uphold them?
Do you feel safe calling your safeword?
Do you have any references from past Dominants/partners?

Observe Their Behavior Over Time
People can act “perfect” for the first few weeks. Long term patterns tell the truth.
Watch for:

Consistency – Do their actions match their words?
Emotional regulation – Do they handle stress without lashing out?
Respect for limits – Do they push boundaries in small ways to “test” you?
Ego vs. empathy – Is the dynamic about mutual fulfillment, or their personal control trip?

Test Communication & Conflict Resolution
Healthy dynamics need repair skills.
Before committing:

Have a small disagreement or talk about a sensitive subject. See if they listen or get defensive.
Notice if they can own mistakes without shifting blame.
Check if they can negotiate without emotional manipulation (“If you loved me, you’d…” is a red flag).

Check Community Reputation
Quietly ask around in trusted kink circles:

“Have you played with/worked with this person before?”
“What’s your impression of their ethics and follow through?”
“Any safety concerns I should be aware of?”
Do this discreetly and ethically, vetting isn’t gossiping; it is harm prevention.

Start Small & Build Trust Gradually
Begin with low risk interactions: text, phone calls, vanilla coffee dates, non impact play.
Observe how they handle negotiation before a scene.
Look for eagerness to respect your pace instead of rushing into intense play or commitments.

Watch for Red Flags
Immediate warning signs include:

Refusal to respect your limits
Pressure to move faster than you’re comfortable
Badmouthing all ex partners without taking accountability
Avoiding public/community spaces without a good reason
Inconsistent or evasive answers

Trust Your Gut
Your instincts exist for a reason.
If something feels “off,” even if you can’t articulate it, pause, reassess, and slow down.
The right dynamic will not require you to ignore your discomfort.

Final Note:
In BDSM, mutual consent and trust are everything. Vetting is an act of self respect and care for your partner as much as yourself. The time you invest in doing it well could prevent months, or years, of harm.

My How to Negotiate Needs vs. Wants in a Power Exchange Dynamic

Understand the Difference

Before negotiating, both partners should be clear on the distinction:

Needs – Essential for over all happiness, safety, emotional well being, sustainable trust, and are non negotiable. Without these, the dynamic cannot function healthily. Examples: aftercare, health accommodations, limits, emotional check ins, time to rest.
Wants – Desirable and enjoyable, but not essential for survival of the relationship, happiness, or life. They enhance pleasure, depth, or fantasy. Examples: certain fetishes, preferred toys, special rituals, roleplay scenarios.

Tip: Needs protect the foundation. Wants decorate it.

Prepare Individually First
Before sitting down together:

Make two lists: one for needs, one for wants.
Rank them from most important to least important.
Write why each item is important to you (this helps your partner understand the emotional weight behind it).
Note if any “want” could become a “need” over time or vice versa.

Create a Safe Negotiation Space
Choose a calm, neutral time (not in the middle of a scene or argument).
Decide on a method: verbal discussion, shared document, written letters, etc.
Agree on tone rules: active listening, no interruptions, curiosity over defensiveness.

Share Needs First
Each partner presents their needs list without debate.
The listening partner asks clarifying questions, but avoids judgment.
If a need conflicts with the other partner’s boundaries, flag it for deeper discussion, these are high priority negotiation items.

Move to Wants
Share wants after needs have been heard.
Explore which wants overlap (shared desires are easy wins).
Discuss which wants can be integrated immediately, experimented with, or saved for later.

Prioritize Together
Identify non negotiable needs (must be met for the relationship to work).
Identify negotiable needs (can be adapted or met in alternate ways).
Decide which wants will be:Implemented now
Put on a trial period
Revisited later

Address Power Exchange Dynamics
Since this is BDSM & Power Exchange:

Discuss how needs and wants will be expressed within the roles (e.g., a submissive may request needs respectfully without stepping outside agreed power structure).
Ensure there’s a pre agreed safety mechanism (e.g., safe words, pause phrases, scheduled check ins) to address unmet needs without fear of punishment.
For Masters/Dominants: remember that acknowledging needs does not undermine authority, meeting them reinforces trust and obedience.
For submissives/slaves: expressing wants respectfully can be a gift to your Dominant, as it offers them opportunities to delight you.

Document the Agreements
Write down the final agreed lists in a shared journal, protocol document, or contract.
Include review dates (monthly, quarterly, or after major life changes).
Track which needs and wants have been met or shifted over time.

Revisit Regularly
Needs and wants can evolve with the relationship, mental health, physical ability, or emotional connection.
Reassess after:New kinks or interests develop
Life stressors or schedule changes
Relationship milestones
Treat it as a living negotiation, not a one time event.

Keep Communication Open
Create a ritualized check in where both partners can raise changes without it feeling like a threat to the dynamic.
Encourage gratitude, thank each other for needs being met and wants being considered, even if they can’t be acted on immediately.

It is absolutely okay, and even healthy, to come back to the table and renegotiate your dynamic when new needs come up. People naturally grow and change over time, both as individuals and within a relationship.

Sometimes, those changes mean that new needs emerge. And that’s perfectly normal. It is also okay if you find that you can’t personally meet all of your partner’s new needs. What matters most in that moment is taking the time to honestly evaluate together:

Do we want to continue in the same way?
Do we want to make adjustments?

Is it worth considering opening the dynamic so others can help fulfill those needs?
Having these conversations helps prevent resentment from building up. When needs go unmet for too long, it can lead to frustration, communication breakdowns, and eventually a toxic environment. That’s why it is so important to come to these discussions with open minds, open hearts, and a commitment to talk things through honestly, kindly, and without fear.

Your dynamic will be healthier and stronger when everyone feels safe to share and heard when they do.

Why I Block People on Social Media (Even If We’ve Never Interacted)

I’ve learned that you don’t need to have a personal interaction with someone to have a valid reason to block them. For me, it is not about differences in beliefs, politics, or lifestyles. It is about behavior, how someone chooses to treat others, even from the sidelines.

If I see someone consistently bullying, belittling, or being hostile toward others, especially in shared spaces like mutual groups, that’s all the information I need. Watching someone go out of their way to tear down another person they don’t even know tells me everything I need to know about their character.

I don’t tolerate cruelty, passive aggressive digs, or indirect attacks. That kind of behavior may not be directed at me (yet), but I have no interest in waiting for that moment to come. If I recognize that someone is operating in a way that’s harmful, unkind, or toxic, I have every right to remove them from my digital space. And I do, quietly, without drama, without a second thought.

Blocking someone doesn’t mean I’m judging their entire existence. It means I’m setting a boundary. It means I’m protecting my peace. It means I’m choosing not to give someone the opportunity to bring their negativity into my world, even indirectly.

Some people like to argue that blocking is childish or unnecessary if you’re not directly involved. I disagree. To me, it is a form of self- care. I curate my environment, online and off, to reflect the kind of energy I want in my life. And if someone’s behavior doesn’t align with that, even if we've never exchanged a word, the block button is there for a reason.

Simple as that.

My Heart Behind the Subby Hotline Support Circle

Today is one of those days where my heart feels wide open overflowing with gratitude, nerves, and excitement all rolled into one. I can’t believe I’m actually saying this, but I’m hosting my very first virtual Submissive Hotline support circle. And yes, it’s really happening.

This isn’t just a event. It’s something I’ve carried in my heart for a long time, a dream of creating a space just for us, for S-types of all kinds. Submissives, slaves, bottoms, brats, littles, service-oriented hearts, and switches in their s-side, this circle is for you. For us.

I know what it’s like to feel like the only one struggling to find your voice in a dynamic, or to wrestle with the weight of submission when it feels both beautiful and complicated. I know the ache of craving community that gets it, and the relief that comes from being seen without needing to explain the language of your heart.

This support circle isn’t about being “perfectly submissive.” It’s about being real. It’s a place to share our truths, to hold space for one another, to speak the unspoken parts of our journey, whether joyful or heavy. No roles, no posturing, no judgment. Just us, showing up as we are, to be heard and supported.

It’s my intention to make this space safe, inclusive, and grounded in mutual respect and confidentiality. Whether you're new to submission or have walked this path for decades, your presence matters. Your story matters.

Hosting this means everything to me. It’s the beginning of something I hope grows into a larger, deeply connected community where S-types feel nourished, uplifted, and empowered.

So, if you’re reading this and thinking, “Is this for me?” Yes. It is. Come as you are. Bring your heart, your questions, your experiences, and even your fears. You’re not alone anymore.

I can’t wait to see you there.

The Duality of Women in the Gorean Novels.

My, Personal Reflection, and My opinion on the Gorean Lifestyle. Though I understand, there is no one TRUE way to be Gorean.

Goreans, in their simplistic fashion, often contend, categorically, that man is naturally free and woman is naturally slave. But even for them the issues are more complex than these simple formulations would suggest. For example, there is no higher person, nor one more respected, than the Gorean free woman. Even a slaver who has captured a free woman often treats her with great solicitude until she is branded.
Hunters of Gor - Book 8 - Page 311

Contradicting Quote used in a group post to explain why women in reality do not deserve respect.

".....The man who respects a woman does not know what else to do with her,...." Beasts of Gor, pg 162 (new edition)

Direct Quote A person wrote in this group, NOT from the books, but them directly.

"Not a true Gorean Man" for not bowing to "boundaries"

When people talk about Gor, they often get swept up in the leather, chains, and titles, and forget the deeper contrasts John Norman painted between the roles of women on his "fictional counter Earth". As someone who has read the novels, explored the philosophies, and lived within alternative dynamics myself, I’ve often found myself reflecting on the sharp divide Norman carved between the Gorean slave and the Gorean Free Woman.

At first glance, both archetypes might seem like caricatures, written by a man with a very particular fantasy. And yes, Norman was not shy about his personal lens. But whether you love, hate, or question his work, there’s no denying the brutal clarity in how the two categories of women were treated.

The kajira, the female slave, was seen as property. Nothing more. Nothing less. In the Gorean world, she had no legal rights. No personal autonomy. She was an owned object, like a horse, a tunic, or a bowl. Her beauty was cultivated for use. Her mind was shaped through discipline and fear. She was taught obedience, trained in the art of pleasure, and expected to serve with grace, or suffer the consequences. Gorean men viewed her not as a person, but as an animal that had been tamed. And because of that, she was not "owed" respect.

Respect, in the Gorean sense, was reserved for the Free Woman.

Free Women were the elite. They walked veiled, cloaked in layers of modesty, untouchable to all but their kin and their chosen companions. A man who struck or shamed a Free Woman without cause could be punished, even killed. She was a symbol of her family’s honor, her city’s pride. She was educated, influential, and, despite her repression in other ways, held a strange power within the rigid structures of Gorean culture.

The difference in treatment wasn’t just cultural, it was philosophical. Gorean men viewed Free Women as worthy of reverence, while slaves were unworthy of even basic dignity. Slaves were often punished for speaking out of turn. Free Women could hold court, command servants, and challenge a man’s honor with a sharp tongue. The line was bold, and it was cruel.

But here’s where I personally find the contradiction.

Despite all the reverence supposedly given to Free Women, they lived in constant fear. Fear of capture. Fear of dishonor. Fear of being reduced to the very thing they scorned, a kajira in silk and steel. Because the truth is, in Gorean society, all women were seen as potential slaves. And that’s the thread that runs through every book. One slip, one mistake, one unlucky encounter, and that Free Woman could be stripped, collared, and auctioned like cattle.

So, were Free Women truly respected? Or were they placed on a pedestal only as long as they obeyed the invisible rules of Gorean patriarchy?

That’s the uncomfortable question.

What fascinates me about Norman’s world is not the fantasy of dominance, but the raw social hierarchy he constructed, and how deliberately he wrote women into it. The slave was debased and eroticized. The Free Woman was deified and contained. Both roles were cages, one gilded, one rusted.

In the end, the novels force us to ask, Is it better to be feared and revered, or used and owned? And is there any real freedom for women in a world where their value is always measured by the men around them?

These are questions I still wrestle with.

But one thing remains clear to me. In Gor, respect was conditional. And for women, whether free or bound, it was never guaranteed. Though it did exist.

Now onto the main point of this writing.

Living within the Gorean lifestyle can be incredibly powerful and fulfilling when practiced with mutual respect, honor, and integrity. For me, it represents a dynamic that

acknowledges polarity, structure, and ancient inspired roles. But there’s a dark undercurrent I’ve encountered, one that deeply troubles me and that I feel needs to be addressed.

Some individuals within the Gorean lifestyle, both men and women, seem to hold the belief that no woman is ever truly worthy of respect, unless she conforms to their rigid

interpretation of submission, or worse, unless she is Free by their approval. To them, slaves are property, no longer human, no longer deserving of empathy or consideration. And while consensual objectification can be part of some people’s kink, it should never cross the line into psychological abuse.

More disturbingly, I’ve witnessed the assertion that anyone living a Gorean life should not be allowed boundaries, hard limits, or even trauma informed protections. That if you are in this lifestyle, you’ve essentially forfeited all rights to your own peace or mental well being. This mindset isn’t just misguided, it is dangerous.

Submission, in any form, must be a choice. The stripping of limits, the denial of consent, and the mocking of mental health needs is not Gorean. It is abusive. There is nothing honorable about exploiting someone’s past pain to make them more compliant. There is no strength in dismissing a woman’s humanity under the guise of “tradition.” Mind you, "Fictional, traditions."

Gorean philosophy, at its core, reveres structure, strength, and purpose. But that includes responsibility and care, not cruelty. If your version of Gor leaves no room for healing, no room for safety, no room for your partner’s limits, then you’re not practicing a lifestyle, you’re enforcing control to mask your own weakness.

For those of us walking this path with sincerity, honor does not mean harm. Power exchange must always include consent. And consent must always be informed, conscious, enthustiastic and ongoing.

Because no matter your role, you are worthy of respect, peace, and the right to heal.

Closing Thoughts

I didn’t come to Gor looking for cruelty. I came looking for structure, purpose, and something that spoke to the deeper parts of me that longed for devotion, strength, and surrender. And yes, parts of the novels stirred something primal, something raw and alluring. But as I’ve lived and grown within this lifestyle, I’ve learned to separate informed submission from blind obedience, and honor from ego driven abuse.

Gor, for all its fantasy, is not a license to dehumanize. It is not a justification to erase someone’s boundaries, dismiss their trauma, or demand they sacrifice their mental health to satisfy someone else’s interpretation of control.

Anyone who tells you that you must suffer in silence to be “truly Gorean” is not protecting the philosophy, they are weaponizing it.

My submission, when I give it, is sacred. And so is my voice.

Because in any world, fictional or real, no woman should ever have to choose between her dignity and her dynamic.

And I refuse to let anyone convince me otherwise.

So go ahead, call me a “Disney Gorean” if that makes you feel superior. Call me “Gor-lite” if it helps you sleep at night. It doesn’t faze me. You hold no authority over how I interpret this path. You don’t get to decide what Gor means to me, and you certainly don’t have the power to define whether I am Gorean or not.

Not for You, Not for Anyone

This Status on someones profile is what prompted this writingIf she puts restrictions on sex with you, she does not see you as the best option. Women will break all their rules for the one they desire.

There’s a phrase I came across recently that absolutely turned my stomach.
“If she puts restrictions on sex with you, she does not see you as the best option. Women will break all their rules for the one they desire.”

Let me make this crystal clear, this is not just harmful rhetoric. It is dangerous, manipulative, and rooted in predatory thinking.

I have limits and boundaries for a reason. Not to play games. Not to hold power over someone. Not to weed out the “weak.” My boundaries exist because of things that are non negotiable. They may be connected to trauma, to health, to emotional safety, to deeply held beliefs. Some of them, if crossed, will make me physically sick. Some of them will send me spiraling mentally or emotionally. Others are just things I personally find disgusting or incompatible with my sense of self.

And I will not break those limits for anyone. Not for someone I love, admire, desire, or even depend on. Not for someone with a high status in the kink or lifestyle community. Not for a partner. Not for a friend. Not for you.

The implication that real desire means being willing to sacrifice your own safety, your own limits, is abuse in a mask. It encourages people to ignore their instincts, to suppress their trauma responses, and to betray themselves, just to validate someone else's sense of entitlement.

If you ever pressure someone to break their boundaries in order to prove their love or desire for you, you are an abuser. You are a predator. You are not safe. Not in kink. Not in relationships. Not in any community.

"Pressuring someone to remove a hard limit or violate a personal boundary is not negotiation, it is coercion, and in many cases, it crosses the line into sexual assault."

The fact that this statement came from someone who presents themselves as a kink educator, who holds influence and has a large following, is horrifying. We hold people in educational positions to a higher standard because they are meant to protect, to teach ethical dynamics, and to model safe behavior. But this? This is manipulation disguised as wisdom.

It is yet another reminder that just because someone publishes books, creates content, or garners attention doesn’t mean they practice what they preach. It doesn't mean they are safe. It doesn't mean they understand consent.

So here’s my plea to everyone in any community, kink or otherwise. Take everything you read, everything you hear, with a grain of salt. Vet people, observe how they behave when they're not on camera or stage. Ask who’s in their inner circles, and who isn’t anymore. Pay attention to patterns. Because people will show you who they really are if you watch long enough.

And if someone ever tells you that love means bending your own rules, run.

Consent is not love with an asterisk. Boundaries are not obstacles.
And breaking yourself for someone else is not desire, it is self abandonment.

Don’t let anyone romanticize your undoing.

The Strength It Takes to Communicate Clearly

Let’s get one thing straight: communication isn’t just a skill, it Is a responsibility. And one that most people neglect under the guise of "not wanting to start drama" or "it Is not that deep." But here’s the truth I’ve learned. If you’re not speaking up, you’re setting yourself up for resentment, for confusion, for breakdowns in relationships that could’ve been saved or structured better from the start.

I used to think that expressing how I felt in the moment was enough. Say it, get it off your chest, move on. But that’s only half the job. Real communication, the kind that builds relationships instead of breaking them, demands more than just venting in the heat of emotion. It requires strength, emotional maturity, self awareness, and follow through.

Before you say anything, reflect. Ask yourself, what is the actual issue? What exactly am I feeling? Name it. Own it. And then, and this is key, give yourself space. Sit with it for a day or two. Emotions shift once the adrenaline clears. What you feel in the moment might not be what you feel after you’ve had time to process.

But don’t stop there. After that space and clarity, you owe it to yourself and the other person to speak calmly, honestly, and clearly. You can’t expect someone to fix something they don’t know is broken. People are not mind readers. You can’t stew in silence and then explode, expecting them to magically understand what went wrong.

You have to lay it out:

What happened.

How it made you feel.

What you need moving forward.

And yes, that might mean placing a boundary. That might mean proposing a solution or saying, “This is what needs to change, now or over time.” That might mean leaving room for them to rise or for things to shift, but you have to make the terms clear. Because here’s another hard truth. If you don’t define what kind of relationship you want, whether romantic, platonic, professional, then someone else will. And you may not like what they choose.

If you’re not actively shaping your role in a relationship, advocating for your needs, and setting expectations, then how can you be shocked when it crumbles? You left it on autopilot. You said nothing when something felt off. And now it is off the rails, and that silence helped drive it there.

Communicating doesn’t make you needy. It makes you responsible, for your own emotional well being, for your role in your relationships, and for the outcomes you’re living with. So speak. Be brave enough to process, speak up, and define what you need. That’s not drama. That’s clarity. That’s real strength.

And if someone can’t handle that? That tells you everything you need to know.

There’s a certain spark I get when I hear that tone in His voice. You know the one, the one that drops into something darker, something deeper. The one that tells me, playtime is over and I am His to mold. That’s when everything in me stills. My sass shuts up. My mind stops spinning. And all that’s left is obedience. Sweet, aching, beautiful submission.

God, I live for it. I crave it. I bloom in it.

I know it might sound strange to someone outside our world but when He takes the choices away from me, when I am not given a single inch of wiggle room, when I have to do what He wants. It is like everything clicks into place. My world becomes perfectly ordered, perfectly simple. I don’t have to think. I don’t have to fight. I don’t have to guess.

I just obey.

And that, that is where I melt. That is where I become what I was meant to be. Not a girlfriend. Not a partner. Not a girlfriend playing pretend. But His. Entirely. Unequivocally. Unapologetically.

There’s magic in that kind of control. There’s madness in the way He rewires my thoughts, how His rules become my truths, His desires become my needs. Call it brainwashing, conditioning, training, whatever word makes you squirm. All I know is, I love it. I need it. I worship it.

He snaps His fingers, and I drop. He gives a look, and my breath stutters. He whispers “good girl” and I’m dripping before the words even land.

There’s no high like it. There’s no drug that compares to the cocktail of dopamine, surrender, and mind fuckery that He stirs up inside me. He turns my resistance into obedience. He turns my sass into silence. And somehow, impossibly, He makes my entire identity a devotion to Him.

And let me tell you something when I feel that leash, even metaphorically? When my knees hit the floor without hesitation? When I hear His commands echoing in my head even when He’s not around?

That’s when I know I’m His perfectly trained, completely obsessed, deliciously fucked up little slave puddle.

No choices.
Just His.

And I wouldn't want it any other way.
