Can you think of tasks or rituals you already have or some you think you’d like to have that could be incorporated into a current or future D/s relationship?
Every Sunday night, I collect the weekly calendar from the fridge and my planner to sit with Daddy and plan the weekly chores and meals.
Every night he wears his boots, I kneel and remove them for him.
I greet him when he comes home, even if it’s just for a few minutes of chatting before I finish up homework.
We do so many things that are already little rituals that we didn’t come up with. We’re working to come up with more that feel “dynamic-y” and to incorporate those in our day-to-day life. There’s something wonderful about taking a moment to feel the dynamic’s energy wrap around you and your Dominant and remember that it is there. It’s always there.
Rituals are the lifeblood of the dynamic in many ways. They’re things that we do to help bring about a certain headspace or feeling. I’ve seen rituals range from coffee service in the morning to greeting Master at the door, naked and kneeling, at the end of a work day. Rituals are as varied as dynamics and I adore them all. You get to create something very special with another person when you create rituals for yourselves.
Tasks are what I think many people think of when they think of D/s dynamics. They think of the submissive always being given assignments of some kind. Tasks, in our household, are just that – things that Daddy wants me to do. They could be chores, errands, or miscellaneous things that he would prefer I handle.
Both tasks and rituals weave together throughout my day to remind me of the dynamic and keep my focus sharp.
