If you expect to be taken seriously as a male you must in in summary behave dominantly. Later as you grow up you add a few more expected behaviors to the list; sex disconnected from ...

If you do a web search on submissive or submission, invariable tons of information can be found on submissive females but in comparison very little about submissive males. What you do find is largely either unflattering or just plain wrong.

Obviously every individual is unique and different so not every submissive male is going to be identical, but lack of information about male submission I think ...

Recently a very good friend of mine shared with me some very painful details about a submissive mentorship experience that went horribly wrong. Those details were shared in confidence between friends and of course I am not at liberty to discuss them. Let us just say that my friends experiences did not meet the expectations for the mentorship and resulted in a lot of confusion and pain that should not have happened. ...

Discipline and correction and how it relates to submissive training will be the final category discussed in this basic introduction to submissive training content and techniques.

Practical skills training is perhaps the area with the largest variety in training that a new submissive might be exposed. For the purposes of this discussion I will divide practical skills training into three main areas; domestic skills, social skills and artistic expression.

Domestic Skills

Domestic skills training is primarily concerned with real-life, D/s relationships where ...

At first blush one might be tempted to combine submissive emotional training with the mental training category, but I believe the two, while akin, are not the same. Recall the last time you did or said something when you were angry. It is easy to see that emotions are not the rational cognitive thought processes we think of when we use the word mental.

Mental training is next up in our examination of submissive training.
