I can't seem to let go and submit. Help!

Hi. I have a question for you, which is possibly an open ended writing trigger. How do you suggest someone let go in terms of being submissive? I have submissive fantasies and desires, but I don't act on them because I don't know how to let go or give myself to someone else in that way. I can never clear my mind and be sexually free during intimate situations. It tends to be anxiety more than anything else, no matter who the partner is or how comfortable I am with them. Thank you!

Thanks for the question.

Before i say anything else, you must know… I can’t tell you how to submit mentally. That is the part you have to make happen for yourself.

That said. I asked my boy  if he had any input i might have missed as a dominant. Here are his thoughts:
- Remember how much you desire Domination.
- Hold in your mind the reasons your chosen Man is worthy of your trust.
- Let go and submit before him.

I did actually write something on this subject myself in the post “Cultivating Bravery”. Something is holding you back. Even you know that. The question is what it is. You’re going to have to try to pin down exactly what the problem is before either of us can address it. If i were to guess you have a lot of fears around “what will happen if i actually let myself submit”. Do any of these sound right or familiar?
- What if i submit and like it too much?
- What would that mean for the rest of my life?
- Does it mean i can only be in a D/s relationship?
- Can i never have a marriage ceremony?
- What will my friends think?
- WHAT WILL MY PARENTS THINK?

The answer to all of those questions is straight forward. How badly do you need submission in your life? That, you can only know by actually submitting. If it’s the transcendent experience you’ve been craving and your life lead up to that moment? Then the rest of it it irrelevant. It’s so important you’ll find a way to make it fit in your life. Kink is incredibly flexible… ASK A SWITCH! It can always fit into your life if you need it.

What if you submit and some of it is good, but some of it you don’t care for? Well you just learned something about what doesn’t work for you and you can now refine your needs to find the kind of guy you’re looking for. When you finally do find what you are looking for, you’ll find you need D/s or you need it every once and awhile. Either should give you the info you need.

What if you submit and it’s nothing like what you wanted? Well either you need to find something that IS what you wanted, or perhaps D/s is not something that changes your life and that’s ok.

No matter what happens, there’s no sense in fearing the unknown because once you get past fearing it, you can start living the life that’s best for you. I hope that all helps!

My thoughts on raceplay

Anonymous   asked: What are your thoughts on raceplay? Obviously, raceplay is consensual and racism isn't, so how would someone go about navigating the thin boundary between the two? It seems as easy as just open communication and setting those boundaries but it is a touchy topic to bring up in the first place so it'd be great to know more about it. This isn’t the first time I’ve answered on this question, but I think that an update is overdue. This is also going to be long so strap in and each section is going to talk about different angles, thoughts, and experiences with raceplay. Trigger warnings:  This post will contain discussions or racially motivated sexualized play. It may reference racial violence as part of historical context or for illustrative purposes. If you are not in a place to read this material, don’t. It’ll be here if you really want to read it later. About the Author:  I’m a white gay man in my 30s. I have engaged with raceplay with submissives (and a ...

Is that REALLY the core of who I am as a person?

I read constantly on D/s Tumblr blogs that accepting that you're a slave or faggot is the first step to truly being happy. That all else in your life will just fall into place, all because you've accepted a side of yourself that in reality, few people will ever see. But is that really the key to my happiness?? Career, family, friends, money, none will offer the happiness that being a faggot or slave will?? Is that REALLY the core of who I am as a person?? Or is it more a Tumblr fantasy?? Thanks for the question Anon! Statement: I read constantly on D/s Tumblr blogs that accepting that you’re a slave or faggot is the first step to truly being happy. Commentary: Ehhhhhhh. It’s a path TO happiness. It’s true that some submissives really spend a lot of time making themselves miserable trying to avoid being themselves, but that’s the same thing as being gay and denying it. Sure, there are subs out there for whom embracing their submissive side IS absolutely transformative but that’s...

Impostor Syndrome and BDSM

  Impostor Syndrome and BDSM Part 1 of 2 Dissecting Impostor Syndrome   I am extremely grateful to the many people who have worked to give this concept a name and language we can all use in discussing it. Impostor syndrome can affect subs or doms, but for the purposes of this article I overcame it as a dominant and wanted to discuss it in detail from that perspective because I know other dominants struggle with this silently. Even amongst each other we don’t often discuss it. It is always important to start by defining the topic of discussion. Impostor syndrome is a feeling that we’re in a position in life, in love, in our career, or in BDSM that we have not in fact earned and that if others found out we’d be exposed and humiliated for pretending to be someone we aren’t.  I’d say 2017 was the last time I was feeling impostor syndrome pretty severely. I know not everyone reading this will know who I am, so I’d like to discuss my background and bonafides not as ...
