Ask lunaKM – A Step-by-Step Guide for a Scene

Hi! My partner and I are both fairly inexperienced in D/s, and we haven’t quite got the hang of how to do a scene. As she says; “I can tie you up alright, but then what?” It’s hard for her to know what to do, and it’s hard for me to know exactly what I want. We’ve been trying on our own for a while, but it’s more complicated than we’d expected. Do you have any tips, useful links / books, or a how-to of sorts that could be followed step by step for our first try? Thanks :)

Hello there,

Being new to kink is an exciting time and you are right, it can feel overwhelming. I don’t have a step by step guide for how to have a scene simply because there are so many options available and are dependent on what you both enjoy.

What I can suggest are ways you can come up with ideas of what to do together.

Watch BDSM porn. You can learn a lot of how a scene can flow, different activities you can do and how hot some of them can be. I highly suggest the porn from Kink.com (affiliate link).

Read BDSM fiction. Tequilarose has shared several fiction book reviews on the site that are a good starting point. You’ll get romance and kink mixed together which could be a good place to get ideas for what to do in a scene. Check all the reviews.

Use Google.com. I know, this seems like a cop out, but honestly it is one of the best search engines out there. Typing in what to when my partner is tied up nets me 20 million results. Enjoy browsing.

Go to a local munch group. Talking to others about kink can help spark your creative juices for your own play. And you could make friends in the process. It’s a win-win. Head to FindaMunch.com to find your local community.

Enjoy exploring. This one should go without saying, but what if the tying up is all you do? Is there something wrong with that? Nope, not one bit. There doesn’t have to be an “and then what” part to play. If you pick one thing and do it, that’s a scene. End with sex or cuddling doesn’t matter as long as you both have had fun and experimented.

Do you have a question or would like to get some advice? All questions are anonymous. Ask lunaKM!

Playing and Punishment from a Distance

If you’ve wondered whether you can enjoy kinky playtime with your Dominant in a long distance relationship (LDR), wonder no more! I am here to tell you that it’s entirely possible—and very enjoyable.

While we were separated by a few thousand miles, I was very fortunate that my Dom was only one time zone ahead of me, which was challenging at night but fun in the morning. While I tended to go to bed well after he did, waking up to his orders the next morning was a continual source of fun for me.

My Dom was always very good about building anticipation so that he had me eager to finish the day and get home so that I could play. Sometimes we were able to share a phone call if it was early enough for him, but there were times when he gave me a laundry list of “tasks” to complete before I went to bed, and this is where the fun began. Yes, it’s true that I was playing by myself a lot, but knowing that I was doing what Sir commanded made the difference. We practiced orgasm denial, so there were times that I was allowed to orgasm and there were times that he pushed my limits to the max, leaving me to either proudly report that I’d completed the task or admit failure and beg for forgiveness.

Playing by yourself (at the behest of your Dominant) requires a great deal of self-restraint and self-discipline. It’s really hard to deny yourself an orgasm when you’re all hot and bothered—and alone…with no one looking…. But that’s what makes it so much better when you do deny yourself the orgasm; you have successfully followed orders, and that makes the accomplishment feel even better.

So how do you have play time when you’re in a long distance relationship? Here are a few ideas to get you started:

Lists: There were times when Sir sent me a list of tasks that needed to be done before bed. Sometimes they were so detailed I had to print them out so I didn’t miss a step. Often they involved clothespins, spreader bars, cuffs, and vibrators being used at certain points during the play session. This, again, is where the discipline comes into play. Being able to keep track of everything is tricky when you’re heading straight into Subspace! The best part is when the list arrived early in the day, so I spent all of my time eagerly anticipating bedtime.
Hourly tasks: Sometimes Sir’s work schedule kept him busy all day so he made sure I was busy, too. We had a game that involved spending a predetermined amount of time masturbating each hour. Sometimes I was allowed an orgasm. Most of the time I wasn’t. The biggest challenge was making sure I could complete the task each hour, which took a ton of planning at times.
Spontaneity: I think this is something that all kinky couples can enjoy, regardless of geography. Sir gave me surprise tasks when I was at work. Sometimes they were as easy as “Go into the bathroom and remove your panties. No panties for the rest of the day.” Other times he’d look at my work schedule and order me to have an orgasm between meetings. This made things very interesting. (He was very good at picking the times before meeting with my boss…)

People have asked me whether I had to endure punishment on my own. The answer is yes, though truthfully I was never punished a lot. While the easiest (and worst) punishment would have been to have total silence between us, that was a bit too easy. As a novice, I forgot that punishments didn’t always come right away. One night during a video chat Sir reminded me that I was due a punishment. Two things happened. The first thing was that I had to redden my own ass. Spanking one’s self is both challenging and humiliating. Honestly, I can tolerate pain much easily when it’s coming from someone else. Spanking myself was not easy because you can’t get the angle right to really deliver a blow. When I didn’t produce the desired effect, Sir played upon his knowledge of my fitness routine and made me lie on the floor with my legs up in the air. This might not sound horribly challenging, but I had to engage my core by keeping my hips off the ground as well, so the whole time it felt like my stomach was on fire. Sir had a bird’s eye view of my ass and lifted legs on the screen; when he asked if I’d had enough, I was too stubborn to say no, so my punishment continued until he finally told me to stop. Anyone who tells you that punishments can’t be doled out properly in a long distance relationship clearly has never truly experienced it before.

A word of caution: Sub Drop is a very real concern in any play situation, and going from Subspace to Sub Drop can be a very real (and potentially scary) situation. There was one instance when I was in the middle of some really intense anal play and the sensation was enough to put me in Subspace very quickly. At some point I lost focus of what was going on and I was so relaxed I almost fell asleep without putting the toys away. Once I took care of the toys and got back into bed, I started shaking uncontrollably. I cried a little, and for the life of me I had no idea what was going on. I was a spectator while my body reacted. My emotions were going crazy. I finally fell asleep, and the next morning I shared this with Sir, who apologized immediately and realized that we’d need a better system in the future in case that happened again.

Later I was able to see that I’d dropped pretty hard, and it was exacerbated by the fact that I was alone. Having an aftercare teddy bear or special blanket might be helpful in a case like this. A check-in with your Dominant post-play would be better. In retrospect, hearing his voice would have made all the difference in the world. This is where the distance piece can be challenging, especially if you’re separated by many time zones. I suggest that if you’re playing before bed and a phone call isn’t possible, have a few items that remind you of your Dominant nearby (again, a blanket or stuffed animal are perfect). Spend a few minutes relaxing and reflecting, and then send your thoughts to your Dominant. You might develop a system on nights that you’re playing where you know your Dominant will be checking email or calling the following morning just so that you can expect to hear from him. Being able to anticipate a phone call or email/chat can be helpful as well.

Playing from a distance is very exciting, and creative Dominants and willing submissives can have loads of fun trying new things together. For a submissive, playing from a distance requires an extra dose of self-discipline. It makes the separation more tolerable when you can share in the joy of playing with your Dominant. It will allow you both to feel closer when being together physically isn’t possible.

Ask lunaKM – Negative Feelings for Dominant After Sub Drop Ends

I have recently went through subdrop for the first time. It was frightening for me. I’m usually pretty good at keeping my emotions together and I have a good head on my shoulders. For the first time ever I felt completely out of control with my emotions. I was scared. My Dom was supportive via texting but not face to face. A new sub is in the picture. I asked for some alone time but he already has prior commitments. Now that my head is on straight and I’m feeling better I’m having some negative feelings toward my Dom. During I felt like if if I could just feel his touch then my world would stop spinning but he didn’t make time for me. Is it normal to feel this way? I’m confused.

First, whenever someone asks if it’s normal to feel anything, the answer is going to be yes. You feel a certain way and it’s perfectly acceptable to feel it.

But I understand more that the question is should you feel that way based on the situation you presented me, and that’s a bit more iffy. Sub drop affects people in different ways and at least you knew to call out to someone for support. Your Dom provided you what support he could; perhaps he really couldn’t drop his prior engagements to be with you. That’s okay too.

In situations like this I would suggest you have a surrogate; a friend or other submissive that you can call up and spend time with to help you deal with the emotions of sub drop. Your Dominant isn’t the only one who can help you get through it.

Now as to whether you feel like he doesn’t make time for you, does this happen regularly? Are your needs in other areas not being fulfilled? Is this a way for your mind to bring something to the surface that you’ve been neglecting? Or is this overreaction due to the mess of emotions that sub drop brings. Only you can answer that.

Video Review: Kink for Beginners

There are a lot of great resources out there to read online about the lifestyle, but some people tend to learn better visually and there’s not a lot options out there. Mistress Lilith Starr and her slave Uruk Black have fixed that. They have put together an amazing video, Kink for Beginners.

Lilith and Uruk have been together for four years and he became her collared slave three and a half years ago and are also married. They have been through a lot together and to me, it’s amazing to see how they made it through all that life had to throw at them and what a devoted couple they are to one another. Their love and devotion to one another shines throughout the entire video.

They cover a lot of information during their video. One of my favorite things about the video is the comparison made to kink being like a roller coaster. The foundation of a kink relationship is built on trust, consent, mutual respect, and communication, just like a roller coaster is built on a sturdy foundation of steel. That sturdy foundation of steel and the safety bars in the cars help riders have a fun, exciting, and safe ride, just like having a solid foundation of trust, consent, mutual respect, and communication. The moment even one of those things are taken away from the foundation, the activities taking place are no longer part of the lifestyle, that’s when things become abuse. The differences between what is consensual BDSM and abuse are pointed out along with what to watch for.

They also suggest keeping a kink journal as a way to share and discuss your fantasies and desires with partner, to set aside time to explore the world of kink, and that each partner takes a turn playing the top and bottom roles to get a bit of experience of what it’s like on both sides of the flogger. Two more points that they also stress, and I really feel that these are both things that most people don’t think about is that the top can safeword out of a scene as well and to find humor in the situation if something doesn’t go as planned during a scene.

Some things that they touch base on are the anatomy of a scene, different types of play and characteristics such as service, power exchange, roleplaying and even a section on DIY toys and how to make some of those household items a little more fun. Safety issues are covered as well when it comes to bondage, using clamps and different types of impact play.

This video is by no means done in a professional manner and that is one of the reasons why I love it so much. You are able to see kink done by real life people and the viewer can see the real connection and love between a full-time mistress/slave relationship.

You can buy Kink for Beginners on DVD through Amazon and also as a digital download.

lunaKM’s Weekend Reflections

This week I finally admitted to myself that if we’re going to be moving in a month I had better get serious on packing. And then I quickly injured my wrist so KnyghtMare won’t let me do any packing for several days! The final 30 day countdown has begun so I’m feeling more pressure than I have to get everything in boxes and this place super clean for the move out. I’ve got services to call and change addresses on, contacts to change details, medical charts to get and so much more. This I think is the worst part of moving. That final lead in before the big day. Wish me luck in getting it all done on time!

Ask lunaKM – Personal Safety Advice

Dear Luna, What i find scary is due to a large series of abuse throughout my life, including very recently I felt it important to ask about personal safety. You see, going to munches may be scary, is still a safe area. However if your going to be the s in a D/s, you need to find someone you trust. Ending up in a situation where you are not safe, do not have your limits respected or are with someone who is really just out to hurt people. I was wondering about warning signs for dangers to avoid?

Good question! I am one of the first to recommend that novices get out from behind the keyboard and go to a munch or other support group. Not because I think they are perfectly safe, but because so many assumptions of this lifestyle or kink in general are formed incorrectly due to the misuse and abuse of online situations.

You can experience similar problems in an online relationship that you can in a face to face one – although face to face ones tend to have more to them. You can still be abused, forced against your limits, manipulated and cajoled into a false sense of security.

My number one piece of advice for the start of any relationship, no matter what kind it is, is to listen to your gut. So many novices are lost in New Relationship Energy (NRE) or sub frenzy that they stop listening to the voice in their head telling them to question things, slow down and listen to your internal mother/father figure.

While I could go on and specify things that are common warning signs, many are not going to apply every single time, to every single person. You have to read Warning Signs posts with a grain of salt and take what you think will help you and leave the rest. With that said, I’m going to provide a few of those here for you to read.

A Day in the Life: moonlight

This is a guest post by moonlight.

My days usually begin at 7am or so when our child wakes up (although sometimes it is much earlier). I send Sir a good morning message and I check in with the rest of our poly group too. I make breakfast and decide on something for dinner that night in case anything needs to be taken out of the freezer.

Usually the little one is happiest in the morning after a good night sleep, so this is my chance to do any crucial work emails that came in overnight. It is also when I get do any cleaning from breakfast dishes, start the laundry, get started on any organizing tasks I may have to do, . I go around and make beds, take out garbage, and just make sure that things are generally neat and tidy – even if it lasts only for a few moments.

Mid-morning is time for the daily workout. Sometimes it is a dance aerobics class, like Zumba, other times yoga, or pole dancing which is a recent favourite (sexy but not easy). Now that the weather is nice, lunch outside isn’t uncommon. But then it is nap time – a glorious time of day! Getting the little person settled then allows me about and hour or two to get my writing done, send more work emails, start any dinner prep or fold the laundry. I also get the living room cleaned up again after all the toys came out. Other days, I get to have a phone call with one of the members of our poly group, catch up on the day and do the cleaning at the same time.

There are many messages with Sir throughout the day, even if I know he can’t answer because he is in meetings or just busy at work. Some days are slower at work so there is more conversation. He also does some of the social media for work, so if I see something that may be useful, I will be sure to send those links along.

Sir finishes work at 4:30pm and he heads home. Usually he is here shortly after 5 and dinner is ready when he comes in (and I try to squeeze in one last clean up of all the toys in the living room before he comes in). He also likes to have tea ready for him, and a big glass of cold water in his favourite chilled cup. Dinner is our catch up time to have longer conversations about how the day went. Once we have eaten, I usually pack up the leftovers in containers for lunch tomorrow and make sure Sir’s lunch for work is taken care of and in the fridge ready to go. Of course, we made more dishes, so those get done again while Sir either has some time on the computer, watches TV or hangs out with the little one.

Bedtime for our young little person is around 7pm, so there are stories, clothes are picked for tomorrow, and all the stuffies that should be in bed have to be accounted for…and again that living room needs to be cleaned.

Generally, unless I have client meetings to go to, this is our time to cuddle up, watch Food Network or Big Bang Theory and enjoy being with each other after the day. Usually, I will lay down in Sir’s lap, snuggled up in a fleece blanket. Sometime in here, I try to remember to write in my journal, but I don’t always remember.

Before going to bed, I lay out Sir’s clothes for tomorrow, including making sure his gym bag is packed for the morning. Sir and I often go to bed at the same time, so we get to cuddle up in bed. Some nights I wear cuffs to bed, other days not, but it is wonderful going to sleep in his arms.

Ask lunaKM – Asking for Attention

Dear LunaKM
I am fairly new to the Dom/s relationship and have talked to a Dom online texts and bt phone. I am having trouble with understanding all the dynamics and was so relieved to find your site,thank u by the way.

Heres my question … He requests a morning text and a nightly asking permission to go to bed and I do this its not a big deal but some days I get no response from him at all until he grants my permission for bed this isn’t always so just sometimes and it can be three or four days without no communication which is very frustrating for me … so without being “bratty” or “bitchy” as he calls it how do I let him know that I want some attention to just an acknowledgement that he knows I exist. Or is wanting that out of line with being submissive?
Thank u …
L

Online and phone only relationships are different types of relationships and the expectations are not as universally known as face to face relationships these days. What sort of negotiation did you get into before you accepted him as your Dominant? Was there a discussion about communication on his end? While it’s hindsight now, you have every right to get what you need from any relationship you are in. If he’s not giving you the attention you need, then you must bring it up to him.

I’m troubled that he considers your asking for communication as bratty or bitchy. If talking to him is difficult because he cuts you down and makes you feel like you opinion doesn’t matter then he’s not in this relationship for mutual benefit – he would be using you.

With that in mind, the next time you talk to him, tell him you have to discuss something important to you and would he give you the time to do so. Then, just lay it out there. Tell him you need more communication and attention from him than you are getting. Tell him how you feel when he goes days without contact and see what he says. You could get many responses, some good, some bad. Use your judgement.

1. He responds with compassion and sincerely didn’t realize that it was lacking and makes huge changes to make sure you are happy and both of you get what you need.

2. He makes you feel like it’s your fault he didn’t know you needed more attention or wanted more communication. He’s not a good Dom to be with and is just using you for his pleasure.

3. He continues to call you a brat when you have respectfully asked to have something important to you addressed. Leave him quickly, he will likely never give you what you want and probably just wants “entertainment.”

4. He sounds confused, he was just being a Dom as part of a role play or game, not a relationship and is surprised you want that. He’s not interested in being your Dom full time – just a phone playmate.

Now I know there are probably more responses, but the important thing to note is that you have be be happy with the relationship you’ve chosen. If you are not, and he won’t listen to you or work through it then that isn’t the partner you need in your life.

I wish you luck,

—lunaKM
