P is for Positions
It was explained to us today the value of being able to assume a particular position from a single command. Obviously some of us may ultimately want to end up in a long term D/s relationship, but we may also wish to have relationships which are based around play with different Dominants. Clearly the key aim is to please and to show willing, to make it easier all round, so today we learnt about submissive positions. Obviously there will be slight variations to suit, but the way it was explained, if you know the basics, then your own Dom can tweak the style to suit their own particular preference.
I was pretty surprised at the number of different positions, especially the slave positions which seemed like they would take a lifetime to grasp. We have been asked to learn some of the key ones while we are here. From now on, the instructors will use these positions and apparently there may be a test! I have copied the positions I have been asked to learn below, as I thought it would be useful to have a note in my journal. I plan to practice them each night, although I am sure I will also get some practice during the day.
9 Positions of Submission

Sit on the floor with legs crossed and back straight. Eyes should be cast down. - KNEEL
Kneel with legs together. Hands should be crossed behind you, back straight, chest out and eyes down. - DOWN

Very interesting, positions – and April is such a conscientious student – Lovely photo at the top BTW x
Thank you. We used the positions quite a lot at the start to set the shift in the power exchange ?
Cool post – April’s learning so much ?
Thank you ?
I too love the pic/photo … and April’s continuing journey … I wonder if her school has a ‘Seniors’ version of submissive positions … one that incorporates stools, pillows, etc … lol! … just teasing … another great post, Missy … nj … xx
Yes I think that might need some adapting. I can’t hold positions for that long but find it makes a great starting instruction to get me in the right mindset ?
I love the different submissive positions. There was a time when I had to practice some of them every night…

Yes me too. And wait in the required position so that I could be assessed! Good fun ?
I really live the headspace created by waiting in position on command!
We used these positions a lot at the start and it would be fun to get back to it a bit I think ?
