kneeling

[dslilgirl]

So for several months my Daddy has tasked me with kneeling every night before bed and in the morning when i get up for a set amount of time. I do as I asked but need some advice. About a minute or 2 into my legs start to go to sleep and by the time i'm done with the task its hard for me to get up because my ankles are in some pain. Anyone else have this issue and what are some suggestions that would help so I can impress my Daddy that i can kneel for him for a long period of time.

One thing you can do is to move your legs a little bit. If you haven't been ordered to be completely still, try shifting positions so that you remain in a kneeling position, but can move the muscles to keep them from falling asleep. You can also try just gently tensing and relaxing the muscles in your legs as you kneel.

For some people, kneeling isn't a task they can do, especially if you have circulation or muscle problems. Try to find a position that works for you that pleases your Master, and also recognize that it will get easier with time and practice.

In addition to the above, one may wish to also consider training in yoga and or any other physical activity that promotes endurance and flexability.

A lot of people seem to be under the impression that a submisive or slave must be absolutely motionless when kneeling, but that is simply not the case. Sometimes the subtle movments (little stretches, shifts in position, isometric excesises etc) a sub or slave makes while kneeling to maintain circulation or increase his or her's state of readiness is considered to be more apealing than the actual posture itself.

(I only flip my toes back and sit down low when I know I am not going to be summoned from my position for awhile, at other times I am pearched on the balls of my feet ready to leap up)

When I was in training, for those of us unable to kneel well, they had two forms of practice available in addition to regular positional instruction and physical conditioning. One was the introducton of a rolling pin like piece of wood (sometimes padded sometimes not) that one could tuck between ones bottom and where ever most comfortable accross the calves, (some girls were even permitted small pillows) which elevated your angle and made kneeling for longer periods more tolerable. The other was a small stand that one could be tied into where ones legs were stretched up under oneself and spread at the knees but seperated by the "seat" with the lower legs kept from touching the ground so all your wieght was on the botom of the thighs. (I hope I explained that thing well enough lol).

Whatever you do, dont shoot for the moon right off, take things slow and be safe, not everyone can be an accomplished kneeler, especially those of us who start bdsm late in life or dont come from cultures where kneeling is very common.

i too was wondering this same thing. i was just attributing it to me being older (well not in my teens anymore lol) or just getting bad circulation. i hate you are going through this but also i am glad to hear that i am not the only one. i do appreciate the tips and will work on figuring out a more relaxed way of kneeling without falling asleep from the thigh down...:rolleyes:
