#sentimentaldom — Public Fediverse posts

Finally taking some time to begin recording the hypnosis and guided meditation audio files I've been planning for the last couple of years.

The Daddy's Good Boy Series is dedicated to my pup Handy. This series is for male/boy-identified pups, but anyone is welcome to listen.

What we say represents what we want others to know, but what we do is a far more accurate representation of what's going on within us. Strive to align your words and your actions to the point that they are telling the same story.

Never forget that I love you, and that excludes no one.

The environments we are in can have a huge impact on our physical and mental health. Environmental Wellness is one of the Eight Dimensions of Wellness that are often forgotten or ignored, but it’s important to be aware of the nouns - the people, places, things, and ideas with which we surround ourselves.

DISCLAIMER: As always, this content will be based on my ideas and methods, making it *a* way to do pup training, but I will never act as though my way is *the* way. My instruction is always based on my own experience and should never be taken as gospel.

Good News Friday is a weekly post I started many years ago to remind us all to pause once in a while and acknowledge the good stuff around us. I’d like to bring a slightly modified version here as a way to encourage my beloved kinksters to pause and remember what’s good.

Consider it a weekly check in and a challenge for some of you. Tell me something good about yourself or your week.

Love this new-to-me pair of Rhinegold riding boots that just arrived. If you're into leather and kink, you need to know about Second Skin (secondskin.co), a website that lets you buy and sell your much loved leather and gear. I've made quite a few purchases through the site and have always had a great experience.

These will be perfect as soon as I hand them over to @grauwolfe for a clean, condition, and shine.

We talk a lot about community, but how much are we actually putting into creating and supporting community? There's a lot more to community building than standing on a stage or sitting behind a keyboard and saying the right words.

Darkness isn't inherently evil. It's only scary because you don't know what's coming. The key is in the understanding that by letting go and surrendering to it, you are embracing the darkness that is a part of you.

Think of darkness as a representation of everything we don't know. Walking fearlessly into the unknown is moving forward with confidence that whatever is out there has something to teach, if you are willing to learn.

Stop what you’re doing. Put your hands in your lap and take a long, deep breath.

As this video plays for the next 30 seconds, relax your body and let your mind do what it will. Maybe it goes quiet and meditative or perhaps it gets loud and disconcerting. Whatever comes, let it.

Don’t plan or try to overthink what comes your way, just let it happen.

#Hypnosis #MindControl #SentimentalDom

There are two ways to get someone do something: Make it happen by force or convince them it’s what they want. One uses physical means while the other works with the mind. One relies on the ability to overpower someone while the other is a delicate sidebar conversation with the deepest parts of their subconscious.

There are stronger doms, but forcing you physically isn’t my thing. When I show you how good it feels to let go, you’ll beg for it. Then, you're mine.

Even if you have never needed to use one, it's time to talk about safe words. Insisting on having a safe word is not a sign of weakness, it's a sign of responsibility and respect. Safe words are a communication tool, and a critical part of scene preparedness.

Consent is non-negotiable. If you don't get an enthusiastic "Yes!", then the answer is no.

Am I the only one who gets random messages like, “I’m bored at work. wyd?” from people I don’t know?

PRO TIP: Telling me about your boredom is not going to give me any reason to want to begin a conversation with you. Start with bringing something worthwhile to the table, and acting like you want to be there.

I don’t understand boredom myself. I don’t get bored because I can always find something to occupy my time.

Poppers are ubiquitous in the queer and kink communities, but they can have harmful effects when not used responsibly. When combined with blood pressure medications or meds for erectile dysfunction, they can cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure. When combined with meth, cocaine, or other stimulants, they can increase heart rate and even cause irregular heartbeat.

I was asked why I take this all so seriously. Leather found me in the height of the AIDS crisis when our elders & mentors were being ripped from us and the few social spaces that felt safe for us were shut down in the name of public health.

This is serious for me because I don’t want what I was taught (and what I taught myself along the way) to be gone forever. Some things technology and AI will never be able to do.

Something is coming.

I am sentimental and compassionate because those are things I lacked in my own life. When I see would be doms stomping onto the scene "full of sound and fury signifying nothing," I try to imagine the life they must have led that would make them feel it necessary to lead with force.

Dear doms: If I can be sadistic and compassionate at the same time, so can you. Sadists should inflict pain, not harm.

#SentimentalDom

It is very easy to blur the lines between fantasy and reality, especially in the kink and fetish realms. Profiles and statements of this nature are red flags to any #EthicalDom, because it makes clear that the author does not have a clear understanding of that line.

Even in a TPE (Total Power Exchange) scenario, actually disappearing someone is absolutely unethical and not very smart, either.

#SentimentalDom

Any Dom who has an expectation of respect without affording you the opportunity to consider whether or not they are worthy of such high regard, does not deserve your respect. Further, I would caution you to take necessary precautions to protect yourself when dealing with such people; if they want to cut corners in such important foundational matters, who knows what other important things might fall by the wayside?

I will never understand why our society seems to derive so much satisfaction from discussing and celebrating the stumbles of others. Maybe it's just the way I'm wired, but I want to celebrate your rise, not your fall.

If things aren't great for you right now, I want you to know that I am rooting for you, and that I will be rooting for you in every conversation, especially the ones when you aren't present.

#SentimentalDom

Well, are you?

#SentimentalDom

To understand your trauma is to stop blaming yourself for the traumatic things that happened to you. Letting go of the past doesn't mean we forget it, only that we are no longer allowing it to render us immovable. If we can't move, we can't grow.

#SentimentalDom

Dear dom,

It is possible to fully immerse yourself in a dominant mindset without acting, thinking, or believing that you are faultless or perfect. Humility and self-awareness are important, especially for a dominant person.

If you feel the need to tear others down to make yourself feel better, you don’t need the D/s world, you need a therapist.

Love,
The #SentimentalDom

Dear sub,

It is possible to fully immerse yourself in a subservient mindset (“subspace”) without acting, thinking, or believing that you are worthless. Self image and self-respect are important, even for an omega. Think about it this way: if you truly respect and adore a dom, you need to do the work to bring something of value to the table.

That’s you. The valuable thing you offer is you. Don’t tear yourself down when what you want is to build someone else up.

Love,
The #SentimentalDom

I don't care what you have been told, your body is beautiful. In the social media era, it's easy to get caught up in the harmful cycle of comparing ourselves to others. The problem comes when we fail to realize that social media is curated heavily, and that what we see has often been filtered and edited into perfection.

You don't need to fit anyone else's ideal to be beautiful. You are beautiful because you exist. You are enough, and you are loved. Never forget that.

#SentimentalDom

Trans people should not ever feel the need to shrink or make themselves invisible to make others comfortable. Sadly, that behavior is so ingrained because it's how our trans family survives. I couldn't live with myself if I knew that a woman was presenting herself as a man to make me feel better.

Be who you are and show that person to me. I want to connect with a human being, not a character.

#SentimentalDom

It’s time for the people who take to social media to speak about the importance of community to take a step down from the soapbox long enough to remember that ‘community’ includes people who don’t look like you. Be approachable, cliques were for high school; leave the mean girls shtick at home.

The true leaders in the leather, fetish, and kink communities are those who are inclusive and embracing.
