[ode2odette]

One element of your new mark you’re looking forward to trying

Not having to be nervous that a Dominant is going to use their institutional power to punish me for things I disagree with through ‘random orders’. I wont be administering any, but I like not having to worry about it. 

One element of your new mark you’re not looking forward to trying

Being a Dominant. I don’t want to tell other people how they’re doing and I don’t want to be in charge. I like being submissive. 

One thing you’d like to learn

I would like to learn..... what it feels like to get my way.

And something you think you can teach your partner.

I think I can teach Dani what it’s like to be submissive pretty well. I can keep her on task and enjoy her doing her rules. 

[isabellabeiste]

One element of your new mark you’re looking forward to trying

Idk man, I’ve never really wanted to try submissive shit. I guess we could try topping from the bottom but that’s against the rules right? Maybe I’ll just try being a brat, that’s always looked fun!

One element of your new mark you’re not looking forward to trying

Pegging.

One thing you’d like to learn

Judo.

And something you think you can teach your partner.

Names of the ninja turtles.

One element of your new mark you’re looking forward to trying

I am looking forward to seeing what Sugar does with the new role. I don’t predict that this will be difficult to fulfil for myself as I do not think I take myself seriously enough not to commit to my role, in a similar way to an actor. As someone who can embrace different roles, it will be interesting to see who struggles more with it. 

One element of your new mark you’re not looking forward to trying

I am not looking forward to attempting to relinquish decision making to a submissive, which is no slight to Sugar, I just think it’s important to recognise that there will be issues in doing so for mysel. 

One thing you’d like to learn

I am hoping to learn how much I struggle with this, I think it will reaffirm my designation if it feels wrong to be a submissive. 

And something you think you can teach your partner.

I think I will be able to teach Sugar more confidence in her decisions. I am hoping it teaches her, and other submissives, an appreciation for how difficult it is to keep in control. 

[mainmuses]

One element of your new mark you’re looking forward to trying: I’m hoping to become more confident in Dominating. It was something I wanted to work on anyway so this opportunity coming along has been great timing for me! 

One element of your new mark you’re not looking forward to trying I can’t think of anything I wouldn’t want to ive a try to, as a switch I think I should be up for Dominant tasks, and making rules wasn’t nearly as hard as I thought it was going to be!

One thing you’d like to learn I’d like to learn how to be calmer and less..... chaotic. This week is going to let me do a short term style relationship thing... not that we’re together... but I’ll get to chill and trust in Mike and let him trust in me for a week and hopefully nothing will be crazy and I can stop going from 10 year relationship which ended badly... to a one night stand which ended badly. I just hope to learn how to not end things badly.

And something you think you can teach your partner. Crochet!!! And other useful skills!! Mike’s said he’d be down to learn the basics of sewing and things so he’s going to be putting some good work ino that, I’m very excited!

Task Two

One element of your new mark you’re looking forward to trying

Seeing what it’s like to not have to make decisions and plans, and what it’s like leaving that up to other people.

One element of your new mark you’re not looking forward to trying

I don’t know that I have a good answer for that, actually.  I’m going to give everything I’ve got to this week and learn anything and everything that I can.

One thing you’d like to learn

How a submissive feels when they’re in the care of someone who’ll take care of them.  What that sort of trust feels like.

And something you think you can teach your partner.

That being a Dominant isn’t as scary as they think it is.

[domjofabray]

Task Two

One element of your new mark you’re looking forward to trying

Surrendering all of myself to someone who I know will take care of me utterly. 

One element of your new mark you’re not looking forward to trying

Remembering titles.  I’ve been a Dominant for long enough that this is going to be a serious problem for me.

One thing you’d like to learn

How my girl can give herself over so completely to me, and what that sensation is like.  How to be in someone else’s hands and believe in them.

And something you think you can teach your partner

That we’re both allowed to be human.  

[faeamberhudson]

Task Two

One element of your new mark you’re looking forward to trying

It wasn’t on my bucket list or anything, but I don’t hate the idea of being in charge during a scene.  Just so I can tell someone what they can and can’t do instead of the other way around.  I really only want to do it once, though.

One element of your new mark you’re not looking forward to trying

Having to worry about whether someone calls me the right title and whether I have to like...punish them.

One thing you’d like to learn

Whether sex is better as a top or a bottom.

And something you think you can teach your partner.

That I’m a good lay.

[thisrosewillnotwilt]

Task Two

One element of your new mark you’re looking forward to trying

Is none a good answer?  Virtually every part of this scares me half to death and I can’t imagine myself actually enjoying it.  But if I need to have an answer, then...making rules, because at least that’s abstract.

One element of your new mark you’re not looking forward to trying

Basically all of it.  Despite what some test says, I have no Dominant instincts.  I don’t want or need someone to kneel for me, to follow my orders, to call me Miss.  None of it’s going to be fun.

One thing you’d like to learn

Why anyone would possibly think that I could be a Dominant even for a week.

And something you think you can teach your partner.

That they’re the one meant to be in charge, not me.

[lisetterosegilbert]

Task Two

One element of your new mark you’re looking forward to trying

Giving orders, even if they’re very silly ones.  Just to see what that’s like.

One element of your new mark you’re not looking forward to trying

Having to make decisions.  In my experience that’s better left to someone else.

One thing you’d like to learn

How Mistress does such a good job of anticipating my needs and making sure they’re met.

And something you think you can teach your partner.

That just as she doesn’t expect me to be perfect, I don’t expect that of her either.

[lennoxprestonporter]

Task 2

One element of your new mark you’re looking forward to trying

I don’t hate the idea of some quiet time on my knees.  Sounds meditative to me.

One element of your new mark you’re not looking forward to trying

I don’t take orders well.

One thing you’d like to learn

How exactly a Dominant is ever supposed to completely trust a submissive.

And something you think you can teach your partner.

That believing someone will be yours just because they take a collar isn’t accurate.

[ljgilbert]

One element of your new mark you’re looking forward to trying: 

taking orders, especially from my partner. i want to see what she comes up with as far as telling me what to do

One element of your new mark you’re not looking forward to trying

not being able to be the ‘caregiver’ 

One thing you’d like to learn

what it really feels like to be in subspace

And something you think you can teach your partner.

i’m hoping to teach my partner that it’s okay to make mistakes and that being a Dominant doesn’t mean that you’re not still learning as well

[trixmissive]

task two

One element of your new mark you’re looking forward to trying

I am curious about what it is like to be able to give some orders, and what it is like to carry the respect of the Dominant mark.

One element of your new mark you’re not looking forward to trying

Being in control and not having a structure to follow set by someone else. I like following rules and being a good girl and I worry about not having that structure to work within.

One thing you’d like to learn

I’d like to learn to have confidence in my own decision making and not worrying about things so much.

And something you think you can teach your partner.

I think I can teach Magnolia about the importance of following rules and being respectful to others.

[yupitsfinnhudson]

task two

One element of your new mark you’re looking forward to trying

I’m looking forward to getting to choose things.. like where we go and what we do and also um be able to just sort of do things in a sexual way

One element of your new mark you’re not looking forward to trying

Probably having to do the thinking for the both of us because I think that I struggle with thinking for just myself let alone for someone as cool as Alexis

One thing you’d like to learn

I’d like to learn about what it’s like to Dom sexually because i didn’t even really do it when I was a switch because I was too nervous, and I think it would be fun to know how that stuff works.

And something you think you can teach your partner.

I think I can teach Alexis about letting someone else make the plans, and to just sort of enjoy some stuff from the passenger seat.

[faunahudson]

task two

One element of your new mark you’re looking forward to trying

Getting to dress up Sawyer and also maybe getting to take care of him the way that he takes care of me. And like if I’m being totally honest, getting to be in charge of things and not having to do the domestic tasks that I usually do.

One element of your new mark you’re not looking forward to trying

I’m nervous about being properly in charge in scenes because I would never want to do something that could hurt him, and I don’t really want to have to properly punish Sawyer.

One thing you’d like to learn

I’d like to learn about a lot of the thought that goes into planning things out as a Dominant even when things are sort of sprung on you. 

And something you think you can teach your partner.

I think that I can teach Sawyer about being polite and letting the other person have control, it’s okay not to think about every little thing if someone is looking after you/

[angelrizzoli]

Task 2

One element of your new mark you’re looking forward to trying

I suppose not having to be as responsible 

One element of your new mark you’re not looking forward to trying

Having to be subservient in any way, I have my own routine and way of doing things and I don’t care for it to be interrupted.

One thing you’d like to learn

Whether or not Ash thinks my book is any good

And something you think you can teach your partner.

That I am a somewhat tolerable person

[mateoweston]

One element of your new mark you’re looking forward to trying

I don’t know that I can pinpoint one specific thing, I think it’s more about the whole experience. 

One element of your new mark you’re not looking forward to trying

As I’ve talked about with my partner, I’m not comfortable with sexual submission. Anything else, even if it’s not something exciting, I’m looking forward to learn from.

One thing you’d like to learn

A better understanding of what it means to submit -- but also what it means to be a Dominant, when I will hopefully have a better view of what it’s like on the other side.

And something you think you can teach your partner.

Well, hopefully the opposite of what I’ve said about the last question. In general though, maybe a little insight into the common misconception that being a Dominant means you just get to do whatever and everyone else has to go along with it.
