Deep dives
Initial Exploration of DS Dynamics
Liz shares her journey into the world of Dominance and Submission (DS) with her partner Tom after 11 years of being together. They both decided to explore this new dynamic to rekindle intimacy, especially after facing challenges like diminished libido due to Liz's depression and medication. Liz highlights the importance of trust and consent, recounting that previous experiences with partners who disregarded consent had initially deterred her from pursuing her interests in BDSM. Their exploration began with a conversation where Liz voiced her desires, leading to a deeper understanding and negotiation of their roles within the DS framework.
Effective Communication and Tools
The couple emphasizes the transformative power of open dialogue in their relationship, particularly through the use of practical tools like the 'sex menu.' This tool helps them articulate their desires, limits, and fantasies while navigating their sexual dynamic. Liz discusses how different forms of communication evolved once they opened the dialogue about sex and DS, leading to regular check-ins on each other's feelings and experiences. This proactive approach to discussing their sexual lives has significantly improved their emotional connection and intimacy.
Navigating Challenges and Learning Together
As they explore their DS dynamic, Liz and Tom have faced challenges but approach them with patience and understanding. Liz mentions an instance where they used a safe word during a scene, highlighting the necessity of communication even in unexpected situations. They both take time to debrief after each experience to discuss what went well and what could be improved, ensuring they are both comfortable and learning from each encounter. This mutual support and acknowledgment of each other's needs foster a healthy and fun environment for exploration.
Encouraging Others to Embrace Communication
Liz encourages others interested in exploring BDSM to overcome the fear of communicating their desires with their partners. She believes that addressing these fears opens the door to deeper intimacy and connection within relationships. By sharing her positive experiences, Liz hopes to inspire others to engage in honest discussions about their sexual interests and fantasies. The couple's journey illustrates that with trust and open communication, individuals can cultivate a fulfilling and dynamic sexual relationship, regardless of their prior experiences.
