Before You Start
As you continue to learn and grow in your submissive journey, it is essential that you know what you desire, but what it is you want and need to nourish your submission. Without understanding this, you will find your submissive desires being starved and suppressed, instead of rejoiced and nurtured.
For the only way for anyone in this world to get what it is that they truly want; is first to know that which it is that they want and need.
If you don’t know what it is you want and need as a submissive, then you need to take this time to sit down with yourself and list it all out. Write it down, make your thoughts a reality, so you can see it all as clear as day.
Just as important as knowing what you desire is knowing what you do not like and is a limit you will not cross (commonly referred to as a “Hard Limit”). Or is a limit that you will only cross under a very particular set of circumstances (commonly referred to as a “Soft Limit”). The key point being these are only things you will ever know and therefore must be something that you know about yourself.
For your submission can not flourish if you are not in an environment that is built to feed your submissive desires and eliminate the things that will make you feel uncomfortable, unsafe and unappreciated. There is not a Dominant alive who will ever be able to do this for you, if you do not understand it yourself.
Here is a BDSM Interest/Limits checklist you can use to more easily understand your desires and dislikes more clearly.
Understanding your submission starts with you, this is why your first task was to look at yourself in the mirror. Refer back to your first task to remind you the importance of you in this journey: Submissive Task: Stand & Understand

Rewarding A Submissive For Good Behavior
Despite the commonly held belief that BDSM is essentially all about punishment, pain, whips, chains, and anything that might cause severe agony, the exact opposite is more commonplace. If you dissect the definitions of Bondage, Discipline, Sado, and Masochism, three of those words can be related to pain play, and even bondage can be used in a painful way, depending on how it is applied. If you search for BDSM, many images are submissives with strained faces being subjected to painful experiences. It can be hard to see past that first glimpse for many. While much attention is focused on discipline and pain for dramatic effect, when it comes to actual submissive training, rewards and positive reinforcement tend to be more effective in submissive training. As the old saying goes, “You catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar.”

Fear Play in BDSM: How to Scare Your Partner Without Freaking Them Out
A lot of submissives enjoy feeling a degree of fear during BDSM. They get a thrill from the rush of anticipation, intensity, and suspense in the same way others might while skydiving or watching horror movies. A sexual experience that feels dangerous, but not so dangerous that we’ll walk away harmed or traumatized, can be an exciting adventure when shared in a controlled environment with a dom we admire. Going through an emotion-charged journey like that together can also strengthen the bonds of affection and trust.
