Endurance Training

Endurance Training

lambsone • Sep 1, 2024

I have to admit that the idea of endurance training of a submissive baffles me as to it's purpose. Is there a specific outcome that the Dominant is looking for? It reminds me of some types of military training that is supposed to build strength and stamina. But what would a sub need that for?

I've seen some training videos where a sub has to hold a certain position for a length of time such as on their toes (my bunions would love that), or lay on their back with their legs suspended in a certain position until the Dominant says to stop.

I don't understand how these physical things help the sub. I'm guessing this might be a maledom sort of thing rather than femdom. Or maybe the femdoms have a different way of doing endurance training.

What say you all?

Well, the more strength and stamina you have in general the better your ability to tolerate hard use. Also, some D types simply enjoy physically shaping their s type. How long will s type endure said position for me, will they push themselves to please me, will they dedicate themselves to something I want regardless of if it seems beneficial to them are all examples of what a D might be thinking. And sometimes it is simply a case of do it because I said so. And other times it’s a matter of foundational obedience training. It really dependent on the D and their mindset/goals.

Good possibilities. 😁

Exactly this!

A fitness/stamina element that allows the building of endurance over time, making the sub much stronger for use and allowing certain limits to be increased over time. This can also be a psychological stamina - being able to push through when the body is saying no (kind of like endurance athletes able to keep going even when at the brink of exhaustion).

The willingness to serve - to endure for the Dom. My previous Dom was very into this. For me, this was always about finding comfort in the discomfort - his pleasure was comforting to me, so I would relax into the discomfort.

Discipline: Self discipline to be precise not discipline as in "bad girl/bad boy" -- being able and willing to do shit like this to tickle the dom's fancy-- can and does "pay dividends" for the sub in other pursuits involving heavy physical activities.

They get a harder body, improved circulation, and the ability to do longer and more involved workouts. In other words, when you (rhet) do enough of that over a sustained period of time, you're health is improved overall.

I neither favor nor oppose dominants who do that, but the mere possibility of dominants doing stuff like this to me is yet another reason I took a hard pass on dynamics and relationships decades ago.

My personality is such that if a dominant handed me proverbial shit on a stick, I'd be all too inclined to shove it back up his not-so-proverbial ass.

But That's Just Me

@Miki

I hadn't thought of overall improved health. Nice.

I tend to use endurance training as a mild form of humiliation. It is something to make the s type strive to give more of themselves than they believe they can. Sometimes they exceed their belief in what they can do, and sometimes not.

One of the personal benefits is to getting to see them sweat.
