Planning a Scene
My mind goes to the end result before I even pick up a toy.
If the scene will be what I consider Topping rather than Dominating my vocalizations will be gentler...lighter and more interactive.
I will negotiate what the bottom would like to experience if they are new to me. I am not big on negotiation of a scene but do admit it can be a valuable tool to keep play safe sane and consensual.
If the scene will be a first time experience and the bottom indicates that he or she “believes” they are more into sensation than pain I will choose my toys accordingly.
I will have them strip to nakedness unless there is a valid reason to remain partially clothed. I enjoy watching each article of clothing being removed just to add an extra shyness and anticipation to the moment.
Unless there is an issue with sight deprivation I will choose an appropriate blindfold to block out one of their senses to heighten others. I will lead them to the St Andrews Cross and buckle their wrists into the restraints before pulling the rope to the right degree for their safety and comfort. I will give a safe word and explain why I expect its use if needed. I never expect it to be needed as I watch the body language carefully and listen to all the sounds during the scene. I will state this.
I choose my implements “after” they are blindfolded and secured in bondage so that the element of surprise and anticipation adds an extra edginess. The scene will generally begin with the firm touch of my hand…the scratchy tickle of my nails and the ostrich feathers. All are used to lull the bottom into a calm trusting headspace.
I already know that it will not be my intent to take the bottom to sub space so I will be watching all the signs of change as the feathers are replaced with sensation toys such as plastic plants clothes pins nipple clamps and the wartonberg wheel. With each shudder I can read if the bottom is craving more sensation or is withdrawing from the touches they are unfamiliar with.
I move slowly from toy to toy…the wait adds to the emotional journey. Choosing my softer floggers of rope to escalate from pleasure to a subtle pain…continually reading the body language which will beg for more on its own…or retreat into the cross. The moans will speak to me as well of agony or ecstasy. If I feel confident that the bottom is just beginning to get into the scene I will move from the softer rope floggers to a few of the less stingy ones and build up gently to the thumpy heavy ones that I enjoy the most.
My hands gently contact the body with firmness and the occasional scratch of my nails and a spank that comes unexpectedly upon the ass. The physical contact of the hand is used for both reassurance and once again to read body language.
If the bottom is still with me I may add some of the more painful toys such as crops and paddles to take them to the edge of their own personal endurance. If not it will be time to release them from the cross. Removing the bondage before the blindfold...talking quietly as I direct them to relax and get their bearings. I will use the weight of my body against theirs as I remove the blindfold holding them in place for just an extra moment before stepping away.
The scene is over. If after care is needed it occurs now that the initial scene is complete. After care can actually be a scene all in itself.
It was my intention at the beginning of the scene to leave them wanting more. Hopefully I have achieved this goal.
Anyone care to share a scene to help those just beginning to see the possibilities?
