Patience...

[neitsyst2]

As I was in chat tonight I heard something that interested me and I hope that more people will be able to shed some light on the subject. As a submissive I frequently hear "use patience, have patience" as a dominant is talking to their sub. and I am aware that patience is an expected characteristic.

Someone suggested to me that patience can actively be taught by the dominant with work. That if/when s/he has the patience to properly work with the submissive, patience can be improved upon in a distinct way.

Is it part of your practice to improve upon this quality with your submissive? If so, are you willing to share a way in which you do so?

Thank you so much for your insights. I've learned much from each question I have asked or read over.
