How to be secure in bottoming
I (36F) have been exploring my submissive side (bedroom only) and one thing I’ve noticed is that I have two perspectives/persona’s/roles. The first I feel most comfortable with: it is the pleaser, the one who wants to serve (sexually), who wants to give and take to serve and please her Dom.
The other is something I crave, but there is definately a blockade, mostly because it feels much more vulnerable: the needy, desperate, wanting Sub. In general, I’m the type (eldest migrant daughter) who finds it difficult to ask for help and accept help, care and nurturing. However, I’m always ready to jump in. I’m proud of that side, but I sometimes wish I could receive the same care from someone else. So I desperately want to be that begging and needy Sub, but it feels so damn scary and vulnerable.
My question to you is basically how to bottom? I know there is not one flavor but many different ones, so I’m curious to hear how ya’ll navigate that or have navigated it to find out what fits best in what context and how to actually go to the place that feels most vulnerable?
I do have a bratty and switchy side to me as well, and especially when being the pleaser I do tend to be more assertive then I’d like, I still feel a certain pressure on me, its a mode of taking care instead of being taken care of which is also part of the Sub’s role I guess, but when I go into that mode I do tend to take initiative and control over the situation and I really want to get to a place where I don’t feel that need. I hope this makes sense 😅
I already read the new bottoming book and the submissives training by Cramer.
