I think that the sub that you have helping you should have self-confidence because of the fact that they will usually be watched during a scene and I also think that they should be dependable because of the fact that you do training sessions with the Doms that you mentor. I also think that they should be some what experienced in the lifestyle because if you want to try something new they might not be so hesitant to do it.... There has to be open honest communication, and a great deal of trust established. There needs to be a direct way to let the Dom know that they may need something or just some assurance, well in the hands of the new person. I do not think the sub should be left alone in the hands of the new Dom at all for any reason.

This sub might have a lot of self-respect and self-confidents but they need to feel safe in order to keep these levels. This could be a very trying time for a sub, helping others can give you a warm fuzzy feeling one that you never wish to let go of, but at the same time you could get hurt. The sub gains more confidents as she is used more for helping others, but the experienced Dom needs to make sure the sub is okay at all times, and that she does not gain to much head space from helping others in this form. There is an equal balance that needs to stay here and communication is the key, as it is to all things in life.

Just my 3 cents
