Thanks, tourguide, you hit the nail on the head with your comment that a submissive should not be considered inferior. What I meant to communicate is that I am being trained to accept my status as inferior to my wife (and other women, she says), as part of our d/s roleplay. My wife says that this is needed because I am so often "full of myself."

You also were accurate in your assumption that I must have submissive inclinations. The truth is that I am much happier when I am being humiliated, feminized and generally overwhelmed. When I am assertive, I become judgmental and short-tempered, which is why we have agreed that we should nurture my submissive nature!

You are right that the tiny steps are a trial. I must admit that I am tempted to cheat when she is not around, but the heels make a very different sound against the wood floors when I do. Also, my wife sometimes slips outside to observe me through a window, so I often don't really know if I am unobserved. Being released from the heels is the greatest gift that I receive when she declares a "recess" for my exemplary behavior.

I enjoyed thinking about your suggestions, which I will pass on. She already has threatened to expose me to her best friend, and it made me very hot when she punished me by blindfolding me, making me stand in the living room wearing nothing but my heels, and telling me that her friend might be stopping by that afternoon. She didn't stop by, but it was agonizing standing there wondering what I would do if the doorbell rang. Sweet agony, BTW, because I fantasize about this woman, and my wife knows it.

Thanks again.
