Merry Christmas...Sort of...

I wanted to take a minute and wish you all a Merry Christmas!  I realize I'm almost to late to the party, but better late than never.  I have been struck with the flu ever since Saturday night.  Woohoo...Merry Christmas to me!  Bah Humbug!!!  I rarely get sick, but when I do it always seems to be a knock-you-down and kick-your-ass kind of sickness.  This is no exception.  And on top of all that, we are dodging tornados left and right tonight.  WTF?!?!  At Christmas?  Tornados?

Alas, Christmas and Santa wasn't going to wait for DV to get better.  So, sick or not there were presents to wrap, Barbie Dream Houses to put together, and play kitchens to be assembled.  All was finished and accomplished just in the "St. Nick" of time.  (yeah I know that was bad...must be the fever)  The kiddo has had a great Christmas, though, and that made it all worthwhile.  Even if she is having to avoid Daddy and his flying globs of snot.

I wish the best of days to all of you and hope you had a a wonderful day with your friends and family.  In parting, I thought I would leave you with a little Christmas Ass, as my present to all of you who follow and read my little piece of the web.

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!

Donald Instructing His Sub (Friday Humor)

Did you know Donald Duck was into the bdsm lifestyle?  Did you know he was Dominant?  That he is a Daddy Dom?  Well, believe it or not he must be.  Here is an audio clip of Donald giving instructions to his sub...or at least that's how I like to envision it.  Enjoy!  LMAO!

When She Needs It Rough...

There are two quotes I have seen lately that I think are worth mentioning.

"When she says harder she means it!"
"When she says to be rough with her, then do it.  She will let you know when it gets too rough."

I think there is some truth to these statements.  This is especially true when it comes to D/s and bdsm.  I think there is some inherent roughness that is associated and a part of what we do in this lifestyle.  That doesn't mean being rough is always part of whatever play you are doing, as there are plenty of times we can be sensual and passionate as well.  The rough aspects could be in the form of rough sex, rough treatment, being manhandled, in giving or receiving pain, or any number of things.

For submissive women, it can be very difficult for them to ask for what they want or need, and particularly when that involves asking you to be rough or forceful.  So, when she does ask or mention it, and finds the wherewithal to bring it up to you as her Dominant, then you better believe she means it.  And yes...if you begin to go too far, she will let you know.

This isn't giving you a free ticket to go insane and unleash every ounce of fury you have on her.  Let's keep it in perspective.  But if she says "harder" in the middle of sex, then you better believe she wants it.  If she says "Be rough with me", then you better believe she means it.  It's what she needs to feel from you...your possession...your Dominance...your strength...your power.  I'm not suggesting you allow her to top from the bottom, but words such as these coming from her mouth should be a glaring clue to you as to how strongly she needs this.

As a Dominant, this can be a very fine line.  What is hard enough?  What is too hard?  What is too rough?  What can she take?  What can she not take from me?  This is where you have to know your submissive inside and out.  You have to base it on your experiences together and know what she can and can't take.  If you don't know, then take it slow.  Step it up a little at a time.  It's much better to not go far enough than to go too far.

Given this topic and post, I think it's a great time to mention safe words.  You should always have a safe word in place.  You may never need or use it, but the one time you do need it and it's not there?  Well, that won't be a good situation.  As a Dominant, you need to always heed to her safe word.  If she utters it, stop everything right then and there.  As a submissive, you have to understand that a safe word is not power or control or a way for you to not do something just because you don't like it.  A safe word is there for your safety and well being, and is to be used when you feel you can't take any more or your safety is in jeopardy.

I have found that most submissives will do all they can to not have to use their safe word.  They don't want to seem weak or feel like a disappointment to their Dominant.  They will withstand a great deal before ever considering using their safe word.  This doesn't mean a Dom should push her to use it.  This doesn't mean you should take her further than you think you should because you know she won't use her safe word.  Remember, she trusts and respects you as her Dominant, a man, and her intimate partner.  If you violate this trust and respect, it will be very hard to ever get it back.

Know you submissive...as a sub, as a woman, and as a person.  Know how she thinks and what she needs.  Know her verbal cues and her body language.  Know what's going on in her head.    It's your duty to try and understand her better than anyone ever has...maybe even better than she knows herself.  This takes a lot of time and effort, but is well worth it.  It's much easier to be the Dominant she needs when you understand her emotions, thinking, and physical needs.  Try your best to be what she needs and expects of you.  This will enable and encourage her to be the best she can be, as well.

"I'm A Princess"...

I know how much all you ladies like being made to feel special and important.  Especially the little girl side of you all.  Let's face it...you like to know we men see you as our little princess..as well you should be treated as such.  So, since I am on the "Big Bang Theory" kick, I thought I would throw this one out there for you, to give you a little more of our favorite couple...Sheldon and Amy.  Now this is how you make her feel like the princess she is...  (lol)

Spanking Goes Primetime... (So Funny)

One of my most favorite shows of all time is the sitcom "The Big Bang Theory".  It's the funniest show and it revolves around some twenty somethings, who are uber-smart geniuses, socially awkward, sci-fi junkie physicists and biologists.  If you have never watched it, I would recommend it for some really good humor.

Two of the people on the show, that play roles where they are way too smart for their own good, are in a relationship that is...well, awkward and mostly platonic for lack of understanding relationships.  Although the female (Amy) wants more, and the male (Sheldon) has no clue about even how to have a relationship on any level.  Apparently in last night new episode, there was some spanking involved for some bad behavior.  This is one of the funniest scenes I've seen on the show, and is a must watch...at least to me.

I couldn't find a way to embed the video, but the link is below.  Enjoy!

Cookie Baking For Dummies (For The Guys)

(This is a re-post of my cookie baking from last year.  Since I have gained a lot of new readers within last year that may not have seen this, I think it's worth a re-post for all the guys out there.  )

Welcome to DV's "Cookie Baking For Dummies"! A step-by-step guide to making cookies that are tasty and easy to make. I thought I would try to help all the guys as part of the Cookie Recipe Extravaganza.

Let's make one thing clear...DV LOVES cookies. I'm a big fan of cookies and like to eat and try the great creations of others. But let's face it...for a majority of guys, actually making cookies is not on the top of our list. That probably goes, at least for me it does, for any baking. As much as I enjoy eating, it's the consumption I enjoy, not the manufacturing. Isn't that why I have a wonderful female partner? So she can bake me cookies? ;)

So for all you guys out there that aren't that good at baking or cooking, this is the post for you. I'm going to make this real easy for you. If I can do it, any of you can do it. And I can promise you that your kids love when Dad does this...especially when they know you can't cook. It holds quite the entertainment value. LOL!

All you need is an oven, a cookie sheet, and a flat spatula (spatula not absolutely necessary). If you have a apron handy, put it on..it will make you look cool and like you know what you're doing. Now...go to the store and buy this:

That's right... it's cookie dough that is completely ready to be baked and even comes in perforated squares. See...easy! Almost idiot proof! (As a side note, the dough is pretty good right out of the package, so eat one or two if you like.) For those that aren't familiar with your oven, find the temperature pre-heat button, and pre-heat the oven to the temp stated on the package. The location and method for pre-heating varies by oven model, so you're on your own with this. Once the oven is pre-heated and ready, open your cookie package, break apart the little pre-formed squares, set them on the cookie sheet as directed, and put them in the oven. It's that simple. All of the dough will not fit on one cookie sheet. So, you will have to do this cycle more than once. The oven will be very hot so be careful not to burn yourself. Trust me...that really hurts! Might be helpful on your first try to have some aloe handy just in case.

This next part is important, so pay attention. The package says how long to leave the cookies in the oven. So, use your swiss army watch and keep track of how long they are in the oven. This is typically around 10 minutes. Once your time is up, use a hot-pad or oven mitt and remove the cookie sheet from the oven. Do not...I repeat...DO NOT try to remove the sheet using your bare hand. I don't care how big and bad you think you are, this is a REALLY BAD idea. Use your spatula and remove the cookies from the cookie sheet and place on a plate of your choice. Once cookies are removed from sheet, put the remaining dough on the cookie sheet, place in oven, and repeat the timing process.

The cookies are ready to eat as soon as they come out of the oven. But BEWARE...they will be very hot, and the gooey chocolate chips will scald your mouth, so you have been warned. Within a matter of minutes, though, they are still warm but safe to eat. As a safety issue, once all cookies are made, remember to turn the oven off. Not only will not doing so waste energy, but leaving it on greatly increases the risk of burning down your house.

So guys, you now have the knowledge to go out into the world and make your own cookies, or make them for the ones you love. Whatever you do, don't tell the women how easy this is. Let them think you slaved over them and put hours of effort into making cookies just for them. They will be very impressed and so appreciative of your efforts.

Good luck, and may the "Cookie Gods" be by your side as you make those little patties of dough and chocolate goodness. :)
