Submissive Journals

[lily27]

My Sir has asked me to keep a journal this week while he is away. It will allow him to keep track of me. It will keep me busy (not that I *ever* get into trouble when I am idle).

But more importantly, to me anyway, is that it gives me a way to focus on him, to feel connected to him, even when he isn't around. I have other tasks to complete in his absence (see trouble comment above), and the journal gives me a medium to immediately share the experience with him, even if he isn't around for several days. Much better than trying to remember everything and telling him all at once.

It also allows me to take stock of my feelings. Often times it will take me a while to sort through things, either our relationship, a scenes, or just any little thing, and the epiphany will come to me some time later. Like when I am at work, or driving or something. By journaling, he gets to find out about all of these thoughts and feelings that occur when he isn't around.

That being said, I am sure there are submissives that don't like to write, and that journalling would be a huge chore for. In that case I think you would have to negotiate a solution. I don't think it would be nearly as affective is she viewed it negatively.

But if one had a masochistic sub who did not like to write, wouldn't a journal be a fine way to solve the "punishing a masochist" dilemma?

Just a thought.

I am sure it would (stop giving them ideas! - lol).

However, I would expect that the revelations a journal provides when it is written by someone who enjoys it, would be much greater that those by someone who is doing it because she "has to."

It all depends on what your goal is.
