It's a sickness. No, the word is insufficient; it's a disease, a malady, an affliction, a blight. There's fire in my skin and I'm alive only as I burn, and the heat rises up to engulf me and purge conscious thought. It's stepping back into an older world, another life, where before I had civility and reason I had this gnawing want and this irresistible compulsion to satisfy primal needs. I want to reach out and ruin something beautiful so no one else can ever have it the same way I did. I want something, firm or brittle, that breaks when I grasp it and flows around me, desperately borrowing my own strength and rebuilding itself with pieces of me in ways I'm pleased by.

I want to own something, in such a terrible and absolute way that it can't be undone. A buzzing in my intoxicated, fire-seared brain, electricity that arcs down my spine and sets my hair to rising, tingling in my fingertips that leads to aggressive sparks with every grab and caress. I want to mark and scar and bruise and bite, I want to growl and shake and push and strike, I want to cover and fill and bend and subjugate. I want wide eyes, trembling hands, parted lips, and the sigh of the faithful when looking at her God. I want to be the word and the law, worshipped, obeyed.

That is sexual and romantic dominance in a relationship -- it devours me, it leads me to devour, it turns me from a friendly intellectual into a predator, running on an unstoppable instinctive lust to control. My every sense sharpens, I feel smarter even as I'm dumber. I hear differences in pitch and inflection, the notes of docility; I see the faint blush of skin, the downcast eyes, or the little brushes of a tongue across lips; I feel the increase in body heat, the shifting of weight, the softness of skin; I swear, though this may be delusion, when I'm in the zone I even smell and taste it, arousal and power and surrender.

It's a sickness. I am a jealous and possessive predator.


And maybe you want me. Or maybe you want to be like me, to see others the way I see them, to inspire them. To be inspired by them. For I am inspired by submission, deeply and truly -- it is my muse, and when my mind drifts to it I'm overtaken by an intensity that enriches all other elements of my life.

If so, this guide is for you. I'm going to go over what things women do and can do to force the devolution from man to beast on me, the signals I notice that make me think someone is submissive, and what I want from you once I own you. Please, be aware this guide is by no means universal; I am but one man, and I am intensely biased by being intensely dominant. I choose to see submission instead of a lack when it is ambiguous, I am willing to risk making a bad impression to coax the responses I want out, and am generally aggressive and unsympathetic.


1. Submissive Behaviors

When directed toward me, there are behaviors that, no matter how blatantly transparent, manipulate me; they speak to something inside me, gratify me, and invoke a clarity of thought and aggressive focus nothing else does. These are the methods by which my partners turn me on most, a girl flirting with me in any context can make me savage and pursue her, or someone who didn't mean to can accidentally make me view them as prey.

The primary factor here is docility. While I can enjoy a fight, what arouses me most is weakness. A woman's behavior ought to indicate some vulnerability to me: she should be unsure, needy, even a bit desperate. I'm turned on by depression, insecurity, and clinginess. When interacting with a woman, I want her to seem a little off-balance. I don't mind if she's gregarious or even aggressive. I want her to be comfortable with other people but not necessarily herself. When she blushes and looks away, when she has a wound in her heart, I'm attracted; when she defers to me, looks to me for guidance in a situation, I'm attracted; when she's completely lost and doesn't know what to do, I'm attracted; when she's close to me, afraid of something and finding me strong, I'm attracted.

If you want to arouse the dominance in my behavior, you need to show submission to me in yours. You need to think of yourself not as a person, but a thing for me to own. Make it clear that my opinion matters to you more than other people's -- ideally, that it's the only one that does. Make it clear you want to be in my presence. When you speak, don't speak of preferences or desires; speak of needs. You need me to help you carry something. You need me to walk you to your car. Be a little shy and demure. It's fine if you're a kick-ass independent woman who don't need no man, can fix a car, do your own plumbing, weightlift in your spare time, and impossibly have a foot and a hundred pounds on me.

If, when you look at me, I feel you're looking up at me, you are small and lovely in my eyes.

I demand blatant favoritism in how you treat me versus how you treat others. If you stare at me and talk to me first when you walk into a room, I will notice that. If you're making bored small talk with other people but light up when I approach, I will notice that. If you step in closer to me and open yourself via body language, I will notice that.

Respect me. More than that--worship me. Listen raptly to me. Stay near me. Look up at me. Smile and glance away. If I talk to you look at no one but me. Show weakness. Defer to me. Adore me. Need me. Confide in me. Look to me for help and guidance. Be sad. Be afraid. Be helpless and lost. Make yourself small and tuck yourself against me.

If you want me to feel aggressive and dominant with you, you need to make your interest and inclination to submit to me clear. It does not need to be made explicit, once we begin this game I will be focused very intently on you, but you need to send out signal after signal, and trust that once you've sent out enough for me to judge you subservient I will move on you fiercely.

Things I look for: shy smiles, blushing, downcast eyes, lingering parted lips, facing me, self-touching, lingering proximity, eagerness to please, enthusiasm toward me specifically. There are more, but honestly, this specific example part is the weakest and least important. Body language, the way one speaks, these things vary person to person, and instead of any one individual piece it's clusters that generate significance. The key is to behave in ways that show explicit or implicit giving of yourself to me.

This is especially important when we're deeply conversing or interacting more intimately. I want your devotion, loyalty, and submission more clear -- I want to know you're damaged, or desperate, or needy. I want you to cling to me and look to me for approval.

If people really need a list of more specific phrases or actions, I'll acquiesce, but you're focusing on the wrong thing.

2. Noticing Submission

See that first section? It's basically that, but on my end, not yours. When a woman seems inclined to listen to me, when she is behaving in a way that suggests interest in me, when she has mentioned or shown weakness and vulnerability, I come in. My personal style is a very physical, aggressive flirting, mixed with investigative conversation; submissive women are a hobby of mine, and it's very easy for me to show a genuine interest and curiosity in absolutely everything there is about them. I like to figure them out, get inside their head, make them feel I know them completely and understand them like no one else does. All the while, I ramp up my assertions over them -- whether it be forcing close physical contact, pulling them toward me or pushing them away, holding them by the wrist and leading them while walking somewhere, maintaining stronger eye contact, and -- later on -- requiring they behave in specific ways or say certain things.

Every step of the way, every aggressive step I take, I make my intentions clear and my nature clearer. I'm too invested in dominance and submission to waste time on a woman who won't give herself to me completely. I'm not saying, guys and gals, to walk up to someone, thump your chest, and be all "ME TARZAN, YOU ON YOUR FUCKING KNEES, NOW.", though hey if you do it youtube that shit.

I'm saying to know what you want and express that in your dialogue. Express it in your body language. Don't ask for permission for things -- impose, to a gradually intesifying degree, and if it's responded to favorably escalate. Be the aggressor. If that is what a woman wants, and she is attracted to you, she will respond, and you will notice it.

It helps to maintain a blind confidence, too. Like I mentioned earlier, I assume attraction and read submission where it's unclear. I do strike out and sometimes turn people off because of this, but it also means my interactions with women have no ambiguity and they know I'm in charge.

There is no magical submissive signal you can look for and know, 100%, she's into it, other than something like "May I suck your cock, Sir?". That's pretty magical. You need to actually interact with the woman. Establish a baseline for how she interacts with people. If that baseline then shifts with you, you have aroused interest. If that baseline shifts further, especially in ways that seem traditionally meek or subservient, and she's sticking with you, you have aroused greater interest.

Be direct. Be the leader. Be the aggressor. If the other party responds favorably, escalate. The essence of flirting is the same.

That said, there are particular things I look for.. I tend to pick up on superficial gregariousness masking insecurity, hesitation in new situations, changes in body language or speech, the focus of attention.

I am sometimes wrong! I am usually right. I don't really mind when I'm wrong, which is the key. You will be wrong sometimes.

 

~bae's thoughts: This was posted by a sub sister friend of mine in a private submissive group we both are members of on Facebook. This article is long, but it spoke to me as a submissive on some elemental way i still can't fathom. With that said, let me give the link to this so you can read it and any comments made by others. It's https://m.reddit.com/r/sex/comments/13xczs/dominance_from_a_dominant_mans_perspective/

i see some many aspects of my own Dom in this article and i also see where i have some room for improvement in my own submission. As it was said by another Master of His slave, who happens to be an acquaintence of mine for a few years now, it's time to get back to the basics and learn that i am the slave, an object to be owned and that i am His in every way, but that He is not mine in the same way.....this is going to be hard to learn and accept sometimes.
