"The amount of time and effort she has put into it all – for me, for us – is a declarative, Dominant love statement of the highest order."
I love how clearly you see that.

Great, can we get back to Ryan now ?"The amount of time and effort she has put into it all – for me, for us – is a declarative, Dominant love statement of the highest order."
I love how clearly you see that.
Thanks. She always says “priorities dictate actions.” Clearly I’m the priority and the dynamic is the priority. I wouldn’t be foolish enough to guess on the amount of thought that goes into it all, but it has to be substantial. Makes me feel very loved."The amount of time and effort she has put into it all – for me, for us – is a declarative, Dominant love statement of the highest order."

That makes me and others happy for you Alexandra. Sometimes it might seem dark, but the underlying truth is that there IS that love that you and all humans need.Thanks.

What a wild comment. Made me laugh. Bad news and good news:Great, can we get back to Ryan now ?
Curiously enough, when you search for CYOA porn, the first author to come up is named Ryan.What a wild comment. Made me laugh. Bad news and good news:
The bad news is, it doesn’t work that way. It’s not “choose your own adventure.”
The good news is, there’s more of Ryan to come.
Top to bottom... jesus... I know this is not that forum, and I know this makes me sound dumb... but top to bottom when dusting...Because I clean top-to-bottom so that dust can’t resettle and I check what I clean under direct light so there’s no missed spots, uneven areas or streaks.
He works great for all those high chores: crown molding, lighting, the tops of the fridge, the top shelves of our closets and our hutch. Stuff like that. I named him Larry … because ladder. He’s a good friend.
Jesus... That's living and writing.261.
And then she confronted me with a simple fact and all the traps and razors that come with our relationship dynamic. “Castrate all of that ego. Swallow all of that pride. Because you’ll come back. And when you do, you’re going to beg me to clean that floor on your hands and knees - twice - like the addicted little submissive whore you are. You’ll need your fix. And I’m the only one who can provide it.”
Harsh words. She was making me sound pathetic.
As if it couldn’t get any worse, she let me peak behind the curtain for just an instant as she was walking away. “You know ... you’re not wrong for not wanting to clean the floor. You’re just too late to do anything about it.”
My world cracked. There was no stopping this train. All these years of submission had turned our wheels at such a high rate that they would seemingly spin forever. I had accepted the chastity cage. The panties. Feminization. Hormones. Servitude. Surgeries. Hotwifing. A place beneath her. All of it. She would push. I would accept. All in the name of The Deep. In the name of more. More teasing. More denial. More humiliation. And she was right - like an addict, I couldn’t live without it.
I didn’t want to fight. I didn’t want this to be dramatic. All I wanted was a little bit of pride back. Degradation is a dangerous drug. I want it. I want more of it. And still more. And then I don’t want any of it. Right up until I crave it again. It’s a vicious cycle.
I love my wife with all of me being. I was being bratty. “I want this. I don’t want that.” It was wrong of me.
I can fix this. Talk it through. Apologize for saying “no” and for swearing. Negotiate cleaning the floor tomorrow. This isn’t a big deal.
I went back upstairs to find her in the sitting room. We looked at each other and both slightly smiled. For different reasons. “Can we talk?” I asked.
“If you do it properly,” she replied.
I walked over to her, and as I did, when I came around the ottoman, I saw the uncooked rice on the floor and a pair of sport-cuffs in her hand.
“No,” I pleaded. It was as much a startled exhale than anything.
She knew you’d come.
“Yes,” she said.
I hesitated, unsure of what to do. The way she had started laying out my punishment when she was downstairs … and now this.
“There is no place in this marriage for insubordination,” she said, looking me dead in the eyes. “Kneel.”
I had miscalculated. This was clearly a very big deal.
You’d almost be done with the floor …
I sunk to my knees, gingerly trying to avoid the excruciating pain of hundreds of dry rice grains burrowing into me. It was futile. I cried out as the weight of my body drove them into my flesh. I lowered my eyes and put my palms up on my thighs. The humble position.
“No. Not like that tonight,” she said. She got up and cuffed my wrists behind my back. “You’ll deal with the full brunt of it,” she said. With my arms behind me, I wouldn’t be able to alleviate the pain by propping myself up and taking some of the pressure off. “Better,” she said as she took her seat on the couch in front of me. It wasn’t a tactic she used often, but it was one she effectively employed – when it came time for negotiation, she always made sure I was starting from a lower-than-usual position. In this case, agonizingly lower.
“Speak your mind,” she said.
It took me a minute to quell the pain and order my thoughts.
State your case and apologize.
“You’re shoving me down publicly now,” I gasped. “It’s killing me. Telling people at Hedonism that I could never satisfy you. Sleeping with guys you meet in bars in front of your best friend.” I was trying to get my breathing under control. “Putting me in a maid uniform like I’m the hired help.”
I paused there and assessed if I got it all. She didn’t say anything. I think she was enjoying watching behavior modification happen in real time.
“Those are all separate things,” she finally said.
“I need to feel your love,” I pleaded. “That this is about us.”
“It is.”
“It doesn’t feel that way.”
“Alexandra, what have I done that isn’t authentic to who we are?” she asked.
It took me a minute to collect myself. The rice was nearly unbearable and I couldn’t concentrate. “We used to have a thriving sex life ‘before,’” I managed.
She looked right at me and laughed. “Come on. We wouldn’t be here if that was the case.”
The ground moved beneath me. Before I could even process what she had just admitted, which was enough to send me into freefall on its own, she ended whatever uprising I had left with an array of truths that have reframed our relationship, everything I thought I knew about it, and how our lives would be moving forward.
“It had to be this way. Deep down you know that. And you were fine with all of it when it turned you on or brought you rewards. You said ‘yes’ every time it mattered. But now that it’s costing you something, suddenly you want all this agency back that you happily offered. It doesn’t work that way. You can’t just keep the parts you like.”
“I’m so sorry,” I said.
I was overmatched. And she was just getting started.
“I appreciate that,” she said. “Listen to me, Alexandra. You tell me you want to feel some love. I love you deeply with everything I’ve got. I always will. And I will never leave you. Ever. You’re mine. I’m responsible for you. What you’re not seeing is, I’m the same. All I’ve done is take the next logical step. You’re just not keeping up.”
She was right. Her view was crystal clear. Mine was muddy. Seeing it through her lens made me feel like I had been letting her down for years. I had adapted. But had I ever really excelled? Was I really that great of a spouse? Of a submissive? Or was I just average? The weight of the uncertainty was crushing. I started to cry. I began replaying images in my head of the “old” us: nights spent watching sports with my friends while she was upstairs alone. Arrogance when I would have success at work and my unspoken, but clearly heard, disapproval that she wasn’t excelling as fast as I was. Drunken, disappointing sex. I was crying so hard that no sound was coming out. It took me a long time to collect myself.
“You’re right,” I finally conceded. But in my head, I had already taken the concession further. This was my fault.
She could see it too. “And?” she prompted.
“This is my fault,” I declared.
“Of course it’s your fault,” she said. “You didn’t get here by accident. And you don’t get to change it just because you finally claim to see that now. This is a pattern. Every six months, I’m the bad guy. It’s exhausting. If you see it so clearly, stop the fucking pattern.”
And that’s when it got terrifying.
“You don’t get to rewrite the rules just because you’re uncomfortable. That’s not how this works. You can either stay and be honest about what this is or you can run away and deal with that reality instead. But there’s no halfway.”
I was in agony. Somehow, I had managed to fuck this up so badly that it was turning into an ultimatum.
“If you’re here,” she continued, “then stop pretending like you’re being dragged, keep the fuck up with me and own who and what you are. And if you can’t do that then you shouldn’t be here at all.”
There was no threat or even theatrical element to this. It was what it was. A hard conversation that removed any middle ground. How had I gotten to this place?
“How can I make this better?” I asked.
“Live your submissive vows,” she said. “You pledged yourself to me unconditionally. Your words, Alexandra, not mine. And none of that should be ominous. You’re my best friend. I love you. But just because you don’t like something doesn’t mean you can change it. You forfeited that. This is not a fifty-fifty relationship. It’s one hundred-zero. We both agreed it was better this way.”
One hundred to zero.
“So I should just take it?” I sobbed out.
“Take what?” she asked. “Taking it implies you don’t like it. And you do. You love it. At least I thought you did. You wanted it ‘hard and strict’. Your words. So, I don’t know what to tell you. You have total control of your future, Alexandra. The door is right there. But if you stay, just know the training wheels are off. It’s time you started living in reality. This is my house, these are my rules and - I want you to hear this because it’s very important – you are my bitch. With all that implies.”
What strikes me about this interaction is that most people, when it’s an emotional setting like this one, couch their feelings and intentions in an attempt to deescalate the situation. Usually, being as direct as she was being – essentially saying ‘this is going to get worse before it gets better’ – creates additional conflict and makes the situation more volatile. The other person digs in their heels and it escalates. The fact she was this direct at this very moment is incredibly telling. She was putting ‘my house, my rules, my bitch’ out there, knowing 1) I’d accept it, and 2) It was a ‘stake in the ground’ that I could never try and reverse course on, because she just told me directly how it was going to be moving forward.
I’m not going anywhere. I’m just so off-balance, I don’t even know if I understand it anymore.
My arms were still cuffed behind my back, so I burrowed my tear-stained face into her thighs.
“I love you. I’m so sorry. I choose this. I choose you,” I sobbed.
“I knew you would,” she said softly. Then she lifted her ass and slid her pajama bottoms and panties down. “Here,” she said, pushing my face towards her wet pussy. “This will make it all better.”
Hi. Thanks for asking. I think this particular session and certainly many others (not just ours) are genderless when you boil down the physical: Tied up, impact play, tease play, etc.I get the fully fledged FLR you are living in, but I was wondering whether you think this could still have been achieved if you hadn’t transitioned? Given the idea of becoming female wasn’t something you had ever considered before the idea was initiated by your wife, could the lifestyle and dom/sub scenes like this still happen with you as a male?
Can’t like this enough!!266.
Right or wrong, some sexual hang-ups won’t quit. In my experience here at Chastity Mansion, one of the heartiest and peskiest is the idea that, in an FLR, if your female partner would like/asks/suggests “you” have some sexual involvement with another person, that can create complicated, very sticky labels of who “you” are.
I am of the belief that those labels are rubbish.
Worse, there seems to be a double standard, where directed sexual involvement – for a male sub – with another female is “OK” but with another male is “not OK.” I find this problematic, and at least here at CM, it prompts lots of “alpha absolutes” along the lines of “being in an FLR doesn’t make you bisexual,” which is quite true. However, upon further examination, that statement doesn’t make any sense. Being in an FLR doesn’t make you a tennis racket either.
“But wait,” some would argue, “it’s not the FLR, it’s the act.” To which I would retort, “then say what you mean,” and, more importantly, I’d argue that statement is completely wrong as well.
I’ve thought a lot about this. My situation might be viewed differently by some and not by others depending on your view of trans women. No matter. As someone who is attracted to women but has had sex with men (and seen the videos), I realized it was initially creating a lot of internal dissonance. When I watched myself suck cock or get fucked, I was like “that’s me on the screen, but it doesn’t map to who I am or experience myself to be.” I struggled with it, because pesky labels.
But I’ve come to understand myself better and I’ve realized these feelings were based on the same closed-minded beliefs that create these alpha absolutes. Sexual activity with anyone doesn’t change my identity in the slightest, nor do I feel any shame participating in it. It just means my lived sexual experiences within our D/s relationship are broader than my core orientation. My guess is, yours are too. I think most of us would agree that in our own power exchange dynamic (assuming we have one), we sometimes engage in acts that aren’t an expression of our base attraction, but serve an important psychological role instead. A good example of this would be a person who doesn’t enjoy impact play, but their partner does and “sometimes she spanks me to reinforce the roles in our relationship.” Reasonable.
For those of us in an FLR, there’s also the Dominant dynamic and authorship of the moment. These sexual directions and resulting videos of me aren’t generic or neutral. They were created by my wife within a situation she directed. She figuratively (in one case, literally) positioned me in front of the camera while I had a dick inside me and filmed it. In that film she is actively giving instructions. Watching it creates a mix of arousal and vulnerability. Am I the subject or an object? Am I choosing this or has it been chosen for me?
For many trans women, being desired by men is ultra-affirming. It is for me as well, even though I don’t reciprocate their desire. And yet, I think most guys, if another man found them attractive, wouldn’t see it as the compliment it is – someone finds me appealing and potentially “wants” me – but would instead rebel against it or run for the hills. Why is that, guys - what’s the hang-up?
For me, seeing myself engaging in acts that go against my core attractions represents surrender, devotion and a loss of control. It’s the same as any number of the daily things she asks of me. It doesn’t change a thing.
I think this is where a lot of posters on CM may lose the plot. There’s this masculine need in so many here to be seen as absolutely straight and anything that is perceived as threatening that straightness is automatically dismissed as “being in an FLR doesn’t make you bi” and shooed away, never to be heard from again.
“My God, imagine if I accidently touched that dick? I’d never recover.” I find that mindset so peculiar that it doubles as hilarious.
If someone is feeling that way, it likely means they’re ashamed. Because shame would look at that accidental dick touch and would not say “this doesn’t seem to fit me.” Shame would instead say “what is wrong with me?”– which is bananas because we’re all just people. Shame doesn’t focus on behavior. It turns it into a judgment about identity – and it can be very harmful.
I know when I first watched myself on video, I used to feel uncomfortable. I wanted to look away. I was turned on, but felt exposed and powerless, and I felt critical of myself all at once.
This is why I did a deep dive on it and learned a lot about myself in the process. What I came to discover is that my attraction and what triggers my arousal aren’t the same thing. If you’re reading this, your attraction and what triggers your arousal likely aren’t the same either. And that is perfectly okay.
I can be fundamentally attracted to women – emotionally, romantically, sexually – and still be aroused by power, submission and humiliation dynamics. In my case, the men themselves aren’t the primary draw. They’re just a prop in the structure that creates the buzz for me. My wife has the authority over where my body goes, how it’s used and what role I play. That’s the erotic engine for me. That’s the sexy buzz.
I think it might be for many others here too. The core idea isn’t “I want men,” it’s “I’m being placed in a position by my Dominant” and that makes it erotic. The position can be anything from mild to wild. Doesn’t matter. It’s the fact she wants it and when there is a disconnect – “this isn’t who I normally am” – it can often create the most intense experience for the submissive – me - because I’m out of my comfort zone and it’s all about her will. It's intoxicating. I’d urge anyone reading this to try it sometime.
After a lot of thoughts around this, I came to the following conclusion: I am a woman attracted to women. My deepest arousal comes from my wife exerting strict control over me, including my sexuality at times, even if that involves men.
That, to me, feels quite right.
Because when I imagine the same encounters without her control, I don’t feel any arousal. That tells me everything. It’s not the men, it’s the power exchange.

I was going to pick some quotes from your post, but there are too many golden nuggets there. I wholeheartedly agree with your thoughts!266.

It was obviously a “departure from the norm” type of entry for me.
Well said. Thank you. The “endless loop” comment is a good one. I think many of us do want to evolve whatever we are; Domme, sub, switch, etc. because there’s not a lot of sense in the same routine if we’re going to outgrow it. I’m also of the belief that anything worth doing is worth doing well. I want to be a good submissive. I owe her that reciprocal effort. I want her to be proud of me.I really enjoyed the reflections in this wonderful departure. I wholeheartedly agree.
While I am strictly an amateur, I do think those of us who top are in the transformation "business". At least (I dare say) if you want the sub to continue unchanged, unmolded, unmodified, if you yourself are not transformed by the process, then what are you actually doing? Where is the creativity?
People who become "addicted" to a fixed identity quickly become trapped in double binds. A good Domme knows how to leverage those binds to force a creative step in the sub (and —whisper it— in herself).. Shifts of identity represent liberation from those binds.
Alexandra's journal is packed full of examples. In a nutshell:
"I can't do this because I am X... But I must because I am Y, therefore the only way I can maintain Y is I if become something other than X".
Pardoxically, the maintenance itself is a transformation.
Not that having an identity is necessarily a bad thing, but to lock it down and guard it jealously until death is to trap onesself, to run in loops.
Perhaps there are those that want to rehearse and reiterate the same roleplay in an endless loop, like a costumed character in a theme park, and perhaps that's enough for some. It's not for me. I want to see progress, growth and development, and that makes this journal (and this entry in particular) very special indeed.
Thank you Alexandra,

Where there’s a whip, there’s a way.![]()
I think this is the crux of it. Try to be the best example of whatever it is that you are. Making her proud of you brings the best feeling to you there is. You want to do ANYTHING to not let her down. It’s not the fear of punishment. It’s the fear of disappointing her. You do a terrific job Alexandra.Well said. Thank you.

As we’ve slowly opened our dynamic to other people - select friends, her lovers - a few have made the comment “she is so well trained.” That means the world to me. And I know it does to her too. She’s proud of me. I’m proud of her.
