PS I think this is a fabulous thread starken. I also agree with BDSM_Tourguide's reply. The man clearly knows what he's doing.I especially like the suggestion where forgetfulness was mentioned.
My Mistress often assigns certain tasks and checks up to be sure they were done correctly and timely. At first I used a reminder program on my computer and on my cellphone (it has a scheduler). However, she frowned on that. She preferred the idea of me remembering on my own.
Well... I'm a forgetful little slut at times. I often miss a detail or three. It offers her ample opportunity to punish me in all sorts of delicious, horrible, sexy, humiliating, and frightening ways. It also allows me to feel useful. I know I'm doing things that she wants or perhaps even needs. Such usefulness seems to be at the core of my submissive nature.
Bah, I've gone off on a bit of a tangent. Basically, I wish to highly recommend "to do" lists that she may write down and check off later... but that you must only commit to memory. 'Tis great fun.
