So you think you want to be a Domme? Read on!!


My last few posts have been geared more toward the submissive men and it is high time to talk with my fellow budding FemDom's. Get a cup of coffee (or whatever you like), pull up a chair and let's have a little talk. Since my perspective is from the female point of view I want to talk to all you Ladies like I was right there with you. I realize that no two people are exactly alike, but the more I read from other budding FemDom's, the more I am realizing the core of this lifestyle is the same. From what I have read 90% of the Dommes I know were at one time introduced to this lifestyle by either a spouse or bf. I have only come across a select few that became involved in this lifestyle on their own.

First, I am going to use my situation to share on. By no means did I do everything perfectly. All I can share is how this time is different for me than last time.

I woke up one morning and found that my husband had been on my computer the night before while I was sleeping. It took a while before I confronted him about it and when I finally did I got a defensive attitude and he denied that he was doing anything wrong. Typical behavior from a man that knows he has been caught! My first reaction was rage. Does this man really think I am that stupid? My second emotion was hurt. Since I still didn't know exactly what he was doing I really had nothing concrete to be angry and hurt about. It was the denial that got me. It took a while before I knew exactly what he had been doing. The first thing I did was think. I had some serious decisions to make. Was I going to leave or stay? If I stayed, how was I going to ever be able to trust him again?

So let's put this scenario onto you! Let's say your husband has just come to you and decided to share his submissive desires. Not all men are leading secret lives but you can bet most are. They have looked at FemDom and the desire is so strong to bring it to reality, they take a chance and talk with you. Or let's say you have found out that your husband is being sneaky on the computer. I can tell you how to find out everything, and I mean everything, he has been doing but that can be talked about later. Now, you can do one of two things: you can reject him completely or you can listen and then decide for yourself if this is something that interests you. Take some time, research the reality of FemDom and then decide if this is something you would like to do IF YOU WEREN'T TO STAY WITH YOUR SPOUSE. If this lifestyle is something you don't really find interest in, and you continue to go ahead with it because it is what HE wants, it will never work. Your spouse will have no choice but to top from the bottom. All that will make you left feeling is inadequate and unloved. See, the male submissive, behind all the fetish activities, wants to serve a Dominant woman. If he is molding you into his perfect little Domme it will never work. This will technically leave him in the Dominant role which is not what he wants. I might add this is definately not what you want! Trust me!

So, you have taken some time, researched and you are all for being a FemDom. Now what? How do you go about playing with this man? The activities we engage in can be very dangerous if you don't know what you are doing. Books are wonderful and alot can be learned about safe play, but there is only so much you can learn from books. Nothing compares to learning hands on with an experienced teacher and mentor. For me I really love the mental aspect of D/s. The bondage, teasing and games are a means to an end for me. I can honestly tell you I have learned more about the mental aspects of submissives now that I have in person relationships with other Dommes and subs. So, how do you meet others you can learn from?

The first is a local BDSM support group. If you live in a well populated area you can bet there is a support group near. You might have to travel a little but it's well worth it. It does take time to get to know others in the group. What do you do in the meantime? I know most of you will be completely shocked that I am suggesting this but here goes. I would find a Pro Domme in your area to take lessons from. You don't have to take your submissive with you (although after a few times I suggest you do). Pro's can be expensive but most will work with you if you let them know your budget. Pro's have a insight the average woman doesn't. They talk to thousands of submissive men and they understand the mental aspect of the submissive very well. Most Pro's have been in the lifestyle for years and years. Hence how they got to be Pro's.

One of my best friends is a Pro who has been involved in the lifestyle for over 17 years. She specializes in couples and she loves it when budding FemDom's call her for lessons. I can tell you right now that if it wasn't for this woman, my husband and I might not be together now. She understands the woman's perspective and the man's. She is invaluable. She offers phone counseling and she does in person lessons after she has gotten to know you and your situation via phone calls. She is here in Vegas and I highly recommend her. You can visit her site here . Here name is Mistress Kali Ward and if you are anywhere near Vegas (or not) I would suggest calling her. She started the PEP Buffalo chapter and she is recommended by Elise Sutton. The PEP organization is nationwide and the Pro Dommes they recommend are very compasionate and well educated. PEP's main site can be found here.

This will probably suprise you all more than anything else but I have become very good friends with my husbands Ex-Pro, LadyIceQueen. For months I was envious and intimated by her only to find that she is a loving, compasionate, regular woman like me. She accepted me with love and made me feel beautiful. (Kisses and Hugs to you sweets!) I expected her to be a total cruel bitch but what I found is she is just like me. While I am not grateful that my husband shared sessions with her, I am grateful that I contacted her and now can call her my friend. She was originally in Las Vegas but she has relocated to Glendale, AZ. Like Mistress Kali Ward, she accepts phone counseling and in person lessons. You can find out more about her here. I also highly recommend her to show you techniques and to learn from!!

In conclusion, this lifestyle is not for everyone. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH YOU IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE A DOMME. DO NOT LET YOUR HUSBAND OR Bf PUSH YOU INTO BEING SOMETHING YOUR NOT. While there are many benefits to this lifestyle it is not for everyone. If you do find this lifestyle is for you, please learn all you can on what you like. Be safe in your play. And most of all enjoy, enjoy, enjoy. Enjoy the attention, adoration and power. This is one time where it is ok to be a little selfish and to make it all about you. If you do, you will find what you have always wanted. Care for and guide your submissive into places they have only dreamed of. This is the time to see what you like, what you want, and to bask in the lap of luxury. The benefits are more than you could ever dream of. As always, I welcome emails from anyone who wishes to chat. Let me know how things are going. Good Luck!!!

Incredible.

You are fucking incredible. We are all SO lucky to have a resource like your blog.

I am extremely interested in developing so sort of couples/Domme training. And will definitely be in contact with you Claudia during my next school break (about 5 weeks).

I have also heard lots of good stuff about "peplove" and have actually considered contacting them about becoming an affiliate. (Another thing you and I should discuss Mrs. C)

Once again, I WILL be pointing people to your blog.

Hmmm i posted before but blogger seems to off eaten it LOL so i will keep this one short just in case the other turns up.

Just wanted to give you a high5 on the blog entry, your advise is spot as per normal.

I'm one of those 10% Dommes as you mention, but over the time I worked as a proDomme I'd have to say you are correct in your figures.
Most of the couples I dealt with said very similar things to what you mention.

I know you have the disclaimer that sites and others can copy your work, but I still still like to ask first..would it be ok if I republish you text and add it to the pieces you all ready have on my site?

once again Well Done Mrs Claudia

MWK,

Thank you so much for your comment. I am not going anywhere so just email me when you have time!! I was considering doing PEP too but I am not sure how good I would be with the phone domination part!!

Ms. Bonnie,

Thanks for asking again to republish from my posts. Ofcourse you may take anything you like! I had a feeling you were one of the 10%. Shows what a rare gem you are sweetie!!

Hugs to you both!

I'm a submissive woman myself, with no internal calling to be a Domme or even a switch... but your blog post made me almost wish I could be. :)

I love your enthusiasm!

Excellent advice. You were very astute and shrewd to enlist the help of pro-Dommes. I have come to make thea cquaintance of some local women here and they have been fantastic.

Refusing to go along with the wishes of your husband could, of course, be a slow path to divorce. It might be a good idea to start collecting documentation of your husband's interest in non-mainstream lifestyles - it could be useful in court if there are any disputes (montetery support, child custody, etc.)

Do Girl Scouts also have the motto: "Be Prepared"?

Anonymous,

Thanks for your comment. As a realist I have documentation proving everything my hubby did. We both are giving this marriage a chance so hopefully I won't have to use it. I am grateful that my marriage is working out beautifully. Good advice though.

Thanks!

...and he might be gathering his own documentation - for just-in-case.

Be careful!
