On your knees

[Shadowsdream]

When My trainees come to Me for the very first time they are filled with nervous anticipation. Trembling and sweating with shy smiles and big dreams.

Within minutes they are naked and on their knees before Me awaiting a sign of approval for their ready submission. A touch of a firm steady hand and a voice that will assure them of their safety under My control.

So many have waited for what has felt like an eternity to hear 3 simple words in real time. "on your knees"

Anyone care to join in a conversation about how saying or hearing these 3 simple words has affected Y/you?

It's funny...

When I was still deciding whether or not I could be submissive..it was those three words that decided for me that I could not do it. Each repition made me angry, or it made me want to laugh. I could not take them seriously because they went against the *inner* me. (With the exception of one special woman..but I have talked of Her in other places).

Then again, I discovered almost 8 years ago, that they were not words I could say out loud without feeling a surge of energy. I very rarely use those words, but when I do it is always a special little thrill to look down (especially since I am only 5 feet tall) and see that one, looking up at me..all alight and a tremble.

I have never heard those words, but perhaps one day I will. I imagine a feeling of release, relief even. A sense of freedom mixed with fear, optimism and excitement; much like a child moving away from home for the first time, and stepping out into the world.

Hello Luna and thank You for joining this conversation!

It is wonderful to hear Your feelings from both sides of the spectrum.

I say the words as naturally as I breath and am always struck with both the power and the responsibility. Both of which are necessities for Me. Do You also feel the responsibility?

 

[Vixandra]

If I heard them in a serious context, I'd probably fall over laughing. Or glare at whoever said it before I walked away. We now see why I'll never be a sub, LOL.

I imagine saying "On your knees" and having it obeyed is quite a rush though.
Ah so many things I wish to try... soon as I'm free of this duty I volunteered to do....

The responsibility is what makes it special for me. I can not comfortably be involved as a Dominant with people I have no attachment to. Feels too much like *playing a role*.

It was the combination of their need, their trust, my power, my love and my need to feel responsible for them that made my last petlings and I last as long as we did (3 years total as Mistress and petlings..total of 10 years as friends).

"On your knees." to me is akin to saying "Assume your stance." It proves they have learned and that they trust me. It fills me with delight and with a low throbbing surge of unadulterated pleasure.
It's the reason I am this way.

those three words melt me...to my core.
They DO mean to me that i am safe and its like a relieved, at peace sort of feeling. Being allowed that privilege...being allowed into the Dominants "space" is also an amazing feeling, although i think i never really think im worth the privilege i love being there.

Hello Esme and welcome to the conversation!

What you describe is at the moment your fantasy but it is very close to the reality of many submissives.

I hope that you will find your magic sooner than later and be able to hear these words over and over again.

Hello Vixandra and thank you for adding your voice to this conversation.

Isn't it absolutley wonderful to know that there are never ending dimensions to the BDSM world just waiting for you to sink your teeth in so to say?

I love the way You express Yourself Luna!

Your words in this thread are beautifuly written and heartfelt which are two wonderful introductions for those just embracing D/s.

You have covered so many aspects that go with these 3 simple words that show the power the care and the reality as some of U/us know it.

Your petlings must have been devoted to You and You to them.

Hello kajira and thank you for joining the conversation!

"On your knees" is an order that should indicate that a Dominant has some desire for you. Whether it is the play of the moment or a long time committment.

Personally I would never utter the three words in My private life if I did not feel a rush of desire to control and place the submissive where I wished them to be...at My feet.

I would suspect you are worth much more than you realize.

Those 3 words touch me in ways I cannot describe, but I'll try. They speak to me, to the core of me. They do say that I am desired, and that I am where I am supposed to be. Those words fill me with a feeling of inspiration and they rush through my body triggering every submissive instinct I possess. It is like a door opening inside me, and once open I can be completely revealed. It is freedom and oh so much more.

There in the stillness right after the words are spoken, it is perfect--absolute perfection. I'm bending my knees, and my body rushes with excitement and complete calm all at the same time. I'm gently but firmly put in the place I quite frankly long to be in--kneeling in front of him. The words touch me in ways nothing ever has, even his voice has a tone to it that is like a caress as he speaks the words. It can drown out the rest of the world, even if he whispers. And with those words there is nothing but him-- with me at his feet. The beauty is in the sheer simplicity of it.

Quite frankly in those few moment I return home, to the place I belong. I am safe, I am content, I am open and not just willing but eager to obey. It is a moment of affirmation, I am privileged to feel his domination in those words, his choice to have me there, his will... It's intoxicating.

Funny because those 3 words have never failed to put me in that space. I mean real world being what it is and all, sometimes I'm distracted, doing what has to be done. I work, I write, and I have the things I do. I can get so distracted that I become disconnected from that inner place where my happiness and fulfillment are created. Those words bring me back to where I long to be and they remind me constantly that the real world and its demands, while necessary (and I am successful in my endeavors), are not what brings me happiness. Those 3 words gently or forcefully (it matters not to me) remind me of what is important to him -- and to me.

Those 3 words can quite literally take my breath away and have never failed to put a sly smile on my face, give me a rush of excitement and bring me such joy in obedience and service. Like I said it is like coming home--every time.

Wonderful topic Ma'am, and it is so nice to see you.

What a wonderful topic....I do not use those exact words...but when I say down...or come now...and lead my pets by their hair or collar, and they look at me with that look of complete and utter trust and admiration it is mind blowing...to know their freedom lies in my hands and they have no fear for the trust and truth is my gift to them is beyond discription. To let my heart be free of all restraint, to bask in the glow of all that is kneeling in front of me...wanting me to take them to a space only I can take them..letting myself follow with each blow...each word...each rake of a nail down lily white skin....my desire matching theirs...they go to their place...knowing I will be forever vigilant of their safety and love...and in return that complete trust eases my pain...and lightens my heart...

Well enough of my ramblings...I hope you can understand.

Hello Caitlynne, thank you soooo much for the eloquence.

I feel as though My own emotions have danced beside your words throughout the entire post. The depth of simplicitywhere one understands that mere words and tone of voice can evoke euphoria.

I sensed you revisited a time you were on your knees as though you were on your way there in the moment.

WOW! Scarlett!

You have captured the wanton power of being the One uttering the order to kneel. The raw emotions that sit behind the ability to control with ease the one that desires their place at Your feet!

I look forward to many more of your rants...and yes I understand perfectly.

Yes Ma'am, I was. It's the beauty of memories. And it's I who thank you, for asking the question that brought those memories back with such passion for me.

[catalina_francisco]

Have to agree with you Shadowsdream...when the words are spoken, you feel you have assumed a responsibility for that person, and perhaps even a feeling or protectiveness at times. I think it depends on the context of the relationship, the depth, but no matter what it is there is anticipation and that knowledge that with these words a journey has begun which takes the both of you to a destination which will hopefully be enjoyed for it's uniqueness.

From the submissive position you feel as if a cloak has been laid about your shoulders, a protective and caring embrace which will take you places you have only dared dream of. There is a recognition of trust, a nakedness which can hide no secrets, and a desire to do your best to serve and please the one whose presence you kneel before, and perhaps a little fear you will not succeed.

Thank you for your kind wishes, Shadowsdream.

It's a confusing fantasy to have, since in all other aspects of my life I'm very independent. I think it might be hard to find a person who respects who I am outside of my fantasies. I'd like to find someone who is my friend, soulmate and lover as well as being able to take me to that special place. I know that Dominance and submission are about inequality, but in daily life that isn't what I want - I don't want to be subsumed (no pun intended) like Daphne Du Maurier's character in 'Rebecca'. I think I just need to go to that place to recharge, to repair myself and, just for a while, not be the one who is "Responsible, Reliable, Dependable and lots of other words ending in ibble". For me, it's a matter of letting go and being able to delve deep inside myself, and finding the strength and the joie de vivre within; something I can bring back to the outside world that helps me to make my way in it.
It's going to be a long, long search, isn't it?

One of the best things about setting tone is watching the reaction IE

A quick voice; harsh in it's intensity will cause panic, despair, trembling.
A soft coo will ease tension, placing them in a space of pure comfort.
A voice which resonates with the need to control, to command, to mold...well that voice will send them very quickly into the warmth of space, of giving and of having those deepest, darkest thoughts brought into the light.

Each and every one of those things can be accomplished with those 3 words. (Or any other 3..my favorite 3? "Close your eyes." A whisper of seduction across silken skin.)

Just figured I would throw that into the mix, Shadowsdream..as I am sure You have used all those voices and many more.

 

[Phoenix Stone]

So many have waited for what has felt like an eternity to hear 3 simple words in real time. "on your knees"

Anyone care to join in a conversation about how saying or hearing these 3 simple words has affected Y/you?

(edited to say 'written after I'd read this from shadowsdream and Lunawolf's FIRST post. The one directly above is on a very different, and quite lovely, part of the topic. And thank you, Luna, for it, too!)

I'm gonna post this before reading more than LunaWolf's first post so I don't just react off of everybody else's posts but instead give my own real reactions to the words. Thank you for starting this lovely thread SD.

My first reaction was ' Ah, Yesssss!' I was putting myself in that position as I read.

But then I read Luna's first post. And rethought.

There are very few I could imagine saying that and getting that response from me in rl. Most would get, 'yeah, right,' and a twisted half-smile, or raised eyebrow. The one or two I'd have been too intimidated to say that to, I may have done it, but wouldn't have felt anything except resistance, anger, disgust, loneliness, that sorta thing.

Part of that is what expectations one comes to the situation with.

The folks who come to Shadowsdream are very ready. I was ready, just by virtue of being on this forum.
Now I'm conscious and much more accepting of this need. Also, now I have someone I love and trust.
But I think, also, now that the doors been opened, even in another relationship, as long as the trust was there, I'd be there.
(I'm old enough, and like myself enough, not to make myself try to be tougher than I am, and playing with people I don't trust, as I used to fecklessly do, is just too tough for me. Gotta protect my heart and be cared for, and care, as much as I gotta get my rocks (eggs?) off. )

Recognizing that I've veered off topic a bit... I'm not sure He's actually used those words. He uses actions more than words. In fact, I'm pretty sure he hasn't or I'd have remembered. I've just done it.
The words that kinda exploded my world a little were 'suck me.' Not that I hadnt long been doing that in my sex life, it was hearing the words (reading them really) in a certain tone and context, and realizing or having it pointed out, that I have a need to serve, that did me.

Since then I've wondered if it was the cut to the chase, get right to it feeling that hearing such words provokes, or what. But, given the right person saying them, it DOES do it. Gives me a kind of sinking rush, almost like a blush throughout my body, and I go inward, both psychologically, and brought down deep into my body, while opening up at the same time.

Oh yess....
