Preparations

Very excited about another weekend with my pup/slave Loki. Unfortunately for us, he lives in NYC and I'm upstate right now. We're really hoping to correct this situation this summer/fall, but for now, we're enjoying weekend get-aways and lots of phone calls.

So, unfortunately this week, Loki broke one of our "rules" and forgot to ask permission to masturbate. I've considered giving him a break since it's masturbation month, but I really feel I need to establish firm control at this point, and don't want to let him get away with anything. I'm a firm believer in the punishment should fit the crime, so I'm weighing my options. He's very anxious about what I may do. I just wish I knew enough bondage to do what I want to do.....

On the other hand, he has been SUCH a good slave and so considerate! He's complied with my wishes and directions, and really shown great initiative and imagination in trying to please me across the miles. I am so proud of him!! While there will be that one punishment, there will be many, many rewards! Some surprises he doesn't even know about yet!

But the big thing this weekend.....I will be officially collaring him! We are both VERY excited about this. This will be a very big step for both of us, but one I feel we are ready to take. A very special evening I hope it will be.

On a side note: I want to give special mention to Lorii and the great folks at Wyred Slave . Lorii has really been so wonderful and personable helping me with my order and I look forward to doing business with them again.

So, wish us luck this weekend!!!

A Contract

After much consideration and discussion, Loki and I have established some basic mutually agreeable guidelines. I really enjoy how open and frank our discussions have been. It has really helped me learn a lot about myself and I am a much more confident, self-assured person. I'd like to share a basic outline of our guidelines with you. I'd love to hear feedback anytime.
Trillian's and Loki's Guidelines.

Guidelines, protocols, fears... the mental side of things...

So now that Loki and I have spent some good quality time together, I think we can more rationally establish guidelines and protocols. Who knew so much went into a strong D/s relationship? I certainly have a much better understanding of their importance now, for both the Dom and the sub. Maybe it's naive to believe so (and I suspect highly controversial), but it seems like there is endless opportunity to customize the relationship. What (I think) I really like is the ability to clearly define expectations ahead of time and openly discuss wants/needs/likes/dislikes/fears. Outlining what type of repercussions/rewards might ensue leads to security it seems.

I hope to have time over the next several days to seriously consider how I want to structure this relationship. I imagine it might be blasphemous to say so in the opinion of many in the community, but I plan on working closely with Loki on this. I know he wants to please me as his Master, but I feel (and I think he expects) that I will not only provide him some structure and order to his life, but security as well. It is more than about sex and discipline in my opinion - although they provide a great deal of options and a lot of enjoyment. The trick, and what I am attempting to wrap my mind around, is how to incorporate seemingly diametrically opposed concepts of pain/discipline and pleasure/reward when they're all jumbled up together. Working on it...... I'll keep you all posted of how it goes.

Fears - well of course I have them. I don't feel it's appropriate to discuss them all here, thought, in front of Loki. Hope to find some like-minded D types to share my concerns with.

Been busy doing my homework!!

Wow - what an amazing weekend!! Check out Loki's Adventures for some juicy stories.

But for some more practical matters read on....

Becoming the Domme/Master I want to be is going to be hard work!!! The amazing thing, however, is I can see it transforming me in many ways. Primarily, I've become more confident and assertive at work, which is a good thing. I needed more of a backbone professionally. But also in my personal and home life in general, it's forcing me to be more responsible and less lazy. It's definitely forcing me to examine myself very closely emotionally and mentally, causing me to take stock of priorities.

I take this as a very serious commitment. I could not do something like this half-heartedly knowing that it would not only affect me, but my sub/puppy as well. And when I commit to something, I tend to dive in head first!!

Fortunately I've stumbed across some resources that have been extremely helpful so far. I'd like to share a few with you.

And that's just scratching the surface!!! I'll share more good links as I find them.

On Becoming a Master

So my Loki is finally here!
Our first evening together we started experimenting with some of our toys and feeling out our roles. We've started working with basic obedience commands and rule setting - learning what puppies can do and aren't allowed to do. Loki looks so irresistible with his collar on and tail in, I had to overcome the urge to take him on the spot! We've been playing with some bondage - well, OK, I've been trying to tie up my Houdini of a puppy. Need to work on it. But the motel room he's been in has been a bit prohibitively small and without great tying sites, and our time has been limited and complicated by non-role playing environments that we've had to interact in. I think maybe that's making it a bit harder to assume the Master/slave relationship. He's been seeing me in other roles and they are conflicting.

But today is a new day. Today, in less than 3 hours we will be on our own!! NOW I will assume command without question!

First order of business today will be to feed my puppy, in order to establish trust, respect and control. Then, I think, we'll to a vet check up, to make sure he's sound and healthy...
Check back soon! Juicer details to follow!

Waiting, Waiting...

It's almost here!! My puppy, Loki, arrives tomorrow to commence his training and consummate our relationship. Today we completed a Puppy Play Negotiation Form. this just helped confirm that we were interested in pursuing the same activities during our time together and clarifying and limits that needed to be established beforehand (thanks to MaePuppy and Scamp at Puppy Play Pride for the form and some good links).

We really enjoyed discussing our plans for the next few days, and teasing each other quite a bit! Loki surely does have a devilish side and I can see this is going to take a lot of tough love, patience and consistency on my part. I gave him a lot of food for thought. For instance, we discussed how the punishment for biting would likely include application of the gag, spanking and "time out" in the crate. Escaping from being "tied up" could lead to more extreme limb binding and possibly mummification. He says he's not looking forward to bath time, but I am!!! He says he's likely to be very bold in the tub. I have a few plans to distract him, however.

But today, I think what I will be doing most is anticipating that first contact as Master and puppy, when I can apply his collar for the first time. That will be so intense! Then, when we get "home" for the evening I can't wait to spend some time grooming and petting him. He has a butt plug tail, already, that he's been practicing with. Mixed satisfaction it sounds like on his part, but I think he just needs some loving kindness and a gentle hand to feel comfortable with it. And based on the pictures he's shared with me so far, I CANNOT wait to see him with it in!

The next 36 hours are going to be torture (especially for him, because I've assigned him the "homework" of not masturbating from now until we meet)! This will be his first real challenge, but I am anxious to begin proving myself as his Master, and thought this would be a good power-play way to start - and a not unreasonable goal I think. I went into great detail with him what special attention his cock would get if he managed to last until our encounter. He seemed to really enjoy that possibility. I described the punishment should he not comply - which would include some isolation in his crate, wearing of the gag, binding of his hands, and watching me masturbate while ignoring him. It will be interesting to see what he does!!

Back to sleep for a few more winks. I've also added a few links and reading ideas for you. I hope you enjoy!
