Unspoken

[lark sparrow]

Our senses take in so much more information than we are consciously aware of at times and we hear much about how Dom/mes read their submissive's body language in scene - how about some words about how subs here read their Tops? (Or conversely how your submissive reads you.)

reading body language is a big part of being a sub (for me)

being able to tell what He wants me to do without Him having to spell it out for me is a sense of connection that i just love. it takes time, of course, but i'm a fast learner! also being able to take physical direction, a hand guiding me to a certain position or location, is harder than it seems. letting yourself relax and trust in the dom/me is vital to being able to let yourself be moved physically like this (when no force is involved)

we were laying in bed the other day, watching the home-made porn we'd just completed, and i noticed myself looking at Him for direction, indication of where He wanted me to be, what He wanted me to do. so i'm glad this thread started, cuz i was just thinking about it!

That's so true, bunny! Especially with someone new. Thanks for starting the responses off so wonderfully. Sometimes it's hard to pinpoint the unspoken. More!

It is difficult to relax and allow another to manipulate your body. Then, it is highly erotic.

It may take only a glance or certain look to understand the next direction. (If you aren't standing in position with your eyes lowered!)

Also, the nonverbal cues certainly are great inidicators of having pleased or displeased your Dom. A look, a stance, turning his back to you or edging just a bit closer are all things that can fill what seems to be a void of silence.

My thoughts almost exactly. Body language through the eyes especially is very strong... it's more of way to read a person than anything else to me. With a certain look from him, one way or another I can know quite often what it is that he's wanting.
A motion of his hand, the slight movement of his head in a direction.. all being things that I watch for.
I look, wait, and constantly stay attentive of these things.
Hmm.. extra added though.. I think I especially enjoy them coming up while in public, small reminders, ... maybe I like it so much because its such a reminder of our somewhat hidden lifestyle while in what people would call the "real world".

My slave reads My silence and stare into his eyes with mixed emotions when he knows there has been no cause for it. he begins to search frantically inside himself to see if he may have accidently displeased Me. he trembles and a slight edge of panic begins to creep into his voice. his cock stiffens half in excitement and half in dread...he has a love/hate thing going on with his emotions...thrilled yet wary...when I point to the floor he is already in subspace...his Bitch is in a controlling mood!
