My Education Plan

I’ve mentioned before that when I talked with the man who mentored me, I created my education plan. I created it by sitting down for about 20 minutes and thinking about areas I knew I lacked knowledge. I also thought about topics I thought were strengths and that I could learn more advanced techniques in, but I mainly wanted to have a more well-rounded understanding of BDSM. So here it is:

• Topics  
   
  • BDSM social etiquette for parties, munches, etc
    • How to address others
    • What is rude behavior?  
       
  • Authority based relationships
    • How do you check in with a submissive as an authority figure?
    • Dealing with criticism
    • Managing submissives  
       
  • Building and developing a connection during scenes  
     
  • Mind fucks  
     
  • Coaching  
     
  • Electro boxes and how to work them  
     
  • Impact play  
     
  • Service relationships  
     
  • What are leather families?
    • Are they important
       
  • Ethical humiliation  
     
  • Easy way to clean up after wax play  
     
  • CBT pointers  
     
  • Dealing with non-reactive submissives  
     
  • Tips for verbal  
     
  • What are the standard lengths of rope?  
     
• My mentor also suggested some books I read
