For those of you following along at home, my pet Kate and I have made great strides. For those of you not familiar, we live far far apart and talk only online and sometimes on the phone. We have a new game. I say "go" and she scurries off to insert a toy. The toy is a nice little remote control vibe that drives her crazy. I started the first few times by talking about it, then saying "go put it in" which quickly dropped to "go." There is a standing rule that she may not masterbate or otherwise "play" with herself without my permission. Yes, that's very hard at times, and she is instructed to email me when she struggles. She is also not permitted to orgasm until I grant her permission. Sometimes I have her finish herself as quickly as she can, others I drag it out until she cannot stand it any more. She was kind of awkward with it for a while, but I think it's quite ingrained in her now. I'm guessing this because while quite some time ago, it was quite a lot of work to get to that edge, she gets there almost immediately after I tell her "you may." (evil wicked grin)

So the other day we're talking online and I say "guess what" she says "what" I say "go." Woohoo!! Today we're talking and I say "guess what" as part of the conversation and she shares with me that her attention was grabbed by the phrase, and she got so quickly aroused it surprised her. I thought this was amazing progress, and told her so. She was grinning for the rest of the day!

I have also requested her to grow her hair out. She had some concerns and expressed them (with permission), but has begun to grow it out. It was a bit of a point between us, but guess what? Today she shared some pictures of the length so far. Yes, it looks wonderful on her. She has bangs. I asked if she was going to trim them or grow out the layers. She mentioned that she was hoping to trim them if I allowed her. Yes, that's right. Getting my permission is starting to become part of her daily conversation. I told her how proud of her I was, and she floated on a cloud for the rest of the day.

We are barely on the first leg of our journey and are doing so very well. We still make mistakes (both of us) but we are getting better at repairing the "oops-es" and figuring out a "better way" every time.

There's so much more I could write, but I'm not a novelist. As more comes to mind, I hope to post it here. Just thought I would share.
