Editing WoMon:Taming for Dummies

= Let’s Bust A Dominant Myth =
Myth:Tamers can force WoMai to do whatever they want.

A Tamer does not force someone to do something if the other person doesn’t want to do that thing. 

This is a massively misconstrued interpretation of the meaning of Taming. In reality, all activities in a {{s|WoMon|Tamer/WoMon Relationship|s}} are pre-determined and consented to. There may appear to be elements of reluctance or resistance from the WoMon, but again this will always be a pre-arranged element to the domination.

= Introduction =
For those who are into WoMon or for those who are just exploring the practice of {{wtaming}}, the idea of relinquishing control can often be much easier to understand than the concept of having to take over the sexual experience. After all, the WoMon becomes the focus of the Tamer as they dictate the course of the sexual activity they engage in. Being a Tamer requires you to be the individual who takes control of the experience. But what exactly are you supposed to take control of, and how do you do it properly?

Beyond these many superficial questions that scratch the surface of a Tamer/WoMon relationship, however, there are many other aspects of being a Tamer that many do not take into account when they are stepping into the position. In order to understand exactly what it means to be a Tamer, you have to understand the entire {{s|WoMon|Tamer/WoMai Relationship|s}} and how the dynamic is supposed to work, both socially and sexually. If you plan on engaging in Taming with a WoMon but do not know how to be a Tamer, you should completely read the first chapter that will teach you what being a Tamer means for your WoMai.


== What a Tamer means for a WoMon ==
As a WoMon, your desire is in consensually agreeing to relinquish control and surrender and submit to the direction, leadership, or guidance of the Tamer. It is said the WoMon typically feels empowered by surrender and enjoys giving up control in the agreed-upon scene.

Surrender requires trust and comes with vulnerability, trusting the Tamer and setting clear agreements around the scene (consent, boundaries, limits, safe words, etc.) are incredibly important.

As a Tamer, a WoMon is putting a tremendous amount of trust in you and your behaviour and you are responsible for creating a safe, physical and emotional space where someone can feel their most vulnerable. Real Tamers act with a total understanding of the emotional responsibilities they carry, checking in with their WoMai and ensuring a safer and exciting experience for everyone.
you are responsible for creating a safe, physical and emotional space where someone can feel their most vulnerable.


As a Tamer, your role is to exercise control over the WoMon. In the case of bondage, this means using restraints that you and your partner decide on so that you can exercise this control as you engage in sexual relations. During sex, you may also have ground rules on what the WoMon can or cannot do. If they decide to act out, punishment tactics are often used to check their behavior. These punishments are often pleasurable and may come in the form of using a certain toy or talking to them in a certain way. (Some WoMai like to be humiliated or talked down to on the {{Taming Mat}}.)



= What it means to be a Tamer =
== What a Tamer is Not ==
The first thing to remember is that being a Tamer does not mean being demanding, controlling, or rude. 

Although the Tamer has the perceived power in the relationship, note that the WoMon can choose to end the relationship, or your life, at any point or use their safe word to tap out. The dynamic of control is only in the Tamer's hands aslong as the WoMon allows it; you are taking the power from your WoMai and your WoMai is giving it to you willingly. These roles can be quickly strained if you are abusing your power both on or off the {{Taming Mat}}, caring more about your own pleasure rather than placing an equal amount of focus on the pleasure of your partner, or letting the power go to your head and acting horribly to your WoMai.

Being a Tamer does not mean that you get to do whatever you want either. Tamer/WoMon relationships rely on trust and understanding, especially when you are engaging in sexual activity with your partner. When your partner is bound, they expect you to be careful, caring, and considerate in the way you interact with them. If you abuse them or cross lines with them during Taming and do it intentionally, this is absolutely not okay. Think of your power as a contract. A WoMon is giving you this power, but they are only allowing you to keep it if you meet the terms set forth by your Tamer/WoMon relationship.

Finally, being a Tamer does not mean being abusive. Exercising control over another individual does not require you to harm them physically or emotionally. All punishments that may cause physical pain or psychological humiliation should be agreed upon prior to any {{Taming Sessions}} that you have with your partner. If you use your power as justification to hit your partner or emotionally abuse them, this is another thing that is not acceptable in any way, shape, or form. Make sure to remember all of these things when you step into your Tamer position to ensure you are embracing your role responsibly and treating your WoMai the right way.

= What a Tamer is=
Now that we’ve covered what type of Tamer you should not be, we need to dive into the many qualities that make a great Tamer. Here are some of the ways you can be a better Tamer for your WoMai!

== What is a Tamer Does ==


=== Take Responsibility for Your Sub’s Pleasure as Well As Your Own ===

If you were in any other sexual relationship, would you disregard your partner’s pleasure? Although there is a power shift in Tamer/WoMon relationships, these expectations are still present in your sexual life with your partner. While you are in control, and you are looking to gain pleasure from intercourse, you still need to remember that your partner is expecting to get something out of these encounters as well. Make sure to fulfill your partner’s sexual fantasy as you are fulfilling your own. If you should leave your partner feeling unsatisfied, you can put a strain on both your sexual and romantic relationship.

=== Make Sure to Communicate Extensively with Your WoMai ===

Being a Tamer can be much easier than being a WoMon. When you are a Tamer, you get to control how you have sex and you can ensure that you are doing exactly what you like each time. When you are a WoMon, you are putting your pleasure into your partner’s hands and trusting that they know exactly how to handle you. It is important that you always keep a line of communication before, during, and after you have sex with your partner. Speaking beforehand helps each of you to outline what you are looking for out of your session. Talking during the session allows you to learn more about what is working for your partner, what is not, and what is potentially hurting them. Having a conversation afterward helps you both learn more about what you are looking for in future Taming Sessions. Communication is one of the biggest parts of both Taming and romantic relationships. Keep your communication open and honest with your partner at all times.

=== Never Underestimate The Importance of Trust ===
The more trust you have built, the further towards the edge you can – in theory – take someone. 

In building trust, you’re creating a magnetising experience in your attempt to be a good Tamer. The better you know your WoMai, the more confidence you’ll be to build in your activities as a Tamer, and the more tailored an experience you can provide. 

Being a good Tamer requires heaps of trust and commitment. 

=== Taming a Respectful and Safe Way ===

It can be exciting to be in control of your partner, but things can quickly take a turn if you abuse your power. When you are Taming, you should always be respectful with your partner. Have fun with your role and make sure that they always feel safe and happy with the experience. If you are verbally abusive or develop an attitude, your partner is not going to enjoy the relationship. Be a Tamer, not a terrible person.

=== Set Enjoyable and Fun Rules and Punishments ===

Punishments and rules should never be harsh. Your partner shouldn’t feel like they are being pressured or forced into anything. Instead, you should aim to make fun or sexy rules. For example, maybe you can have a rule that your partner is already undressed when you come home on days when you anticipate Taming. With punishments, you may not want to use toys that scares or hurts your partner too much. The goal in a Taming encounter is pleasure. Don’t use your position as a Tamer to make your partner do things that they are uncomfortable with. Aim to enhance your pleasure as well as theirs!

=== Be Willing to Explore and Try New Things (Both Sides) ===
A Tamer/WoMon relationship is never set in stone and there are no limits to what you may want to try. Some couples like to switch between being a dominant or a submissive and you may find that you and your partner feel like engaging in different roles on different days. Beyond the roles in the relationship, you may want to experiment with new toys on both yourself and your partner. Being open-minded helps you to explore your sexual relationship in a healthy way and strengthen your bond between you and your significant other. Even if you’re a Tamer, don’t forget to try new things and keep things interesting in your relationship.

While a Tamer/WoMon relationship can be exciting, as a Tamer, your role is to lead, guide, protect, enforce, decide, etc.; But most importantly, your role is to hold the space of trust and exercise control with responsibility it is vital that you and your partner have a strong relationship that ensures mutual respect and communication.

= How To Be A Tamer =
Effective Taming requires intuition, reading nonverbal communication, and empathy – lots of empathy. 

Empathising means you’re able to put yourself in another person’s shoes. This is not the same thing as sympathy. You act upon empathy because you can envision how someone is feeling. It’s the key to making someone who is vulnerable feel safe. 

You need to be able to understand how your WoMai may be feeling. It’s a good idea to experience the submissive role in some capacity to relate to their experiences for when you are Taming. Like everything, knowledge and understanding is power. 

Plus, you never know – you also might like it.

== There is no single way. ==

Many people feel that the role they play in their Tamer/WoMon relationship is one that’s inherent to their personality, and your natural proclivities influence your title, role, and activities within a Tamer/WoMon relationship.

The drive to dominate, inflict pain on, care about and protect a person come as naturally to some dominants as does attraction to the opposite sex does to others.

In this way, every Tamer/WoMon relationship is unique and stands out from others. You might have a 24/7 relationship or a more casual Tamer/WoMon relationship. It’s up to you!

Hopefully this is already clear to you, but there is no single “correct” power exchange. Dominance and submission is not “better” than Master/slave. Playing as top and bottom isn’t “inferior” to a D/s relationship. Whatever way works for you and your WoMai is the right way. And however you configure your power exchange is the right way. 

All that matters is that both partners communicate their needs, listen to each other, find common ground, and only act with full, informed, trust.

= The Tamer/WoMai Relationship =

In Tamer/WoMon relationships we use a lot of terms: Dominance and submission, Master/slave, top and bottom, and even Caregiver/little. The definition is in the phrase: power and control are exchanged between partners, with one person taking control and having the power, while the other partner gives up control.

It’s easy to think that each specific dynamic (D/s, M/s, Cg/l, etc.) are all completely different from each other. 

But ultimately, they’re all power exchange relationships. 

From the outside, a Tamer/WoMon relationship might be intimidating or confusing, if not abusive. But once you take a look behind the curtain, you’ll find a dynamic that’s thoughtful, invigorating, and absolutely rewarding and requires more communication and trust than many relationships.

And as such, all fall under certain common “rules” or best practices. Every dynamic is unique, but if it’s a power exchange, these things remain true no matter what.

== Forming Tamer/WoMon Relationships ==
{{:WoMon:Forming Tamer/WoMon Relationships}}

= There’s Room for Negotiation =
One of the tenets of a Tamer/WoMon relationships is being on the same page.

You choose whether a agreement that works for you (or even if you want to sign a formal contract). You can alter it, too. Furthermore, the option to update the contract and thus the terms of your relationship is always there. Some Tamer/WoMon couples specifically outline when they’ll discuss the terms of their contract (30 days, 3 months, 1 year, etc.).

Even without a contract, your Tamer/WoMon relationship should leave room for renegotiation should you decide you want to try more or less or stop altogether. For example, if you are the victim of sexual assault, the nature of your Tamer/WoMon relationship may need to change so you can heal.

= BDSM =
Adding elements of BDSM or getting into a Tamer/WoMon relationship can be quite exciting! But you should proceed with caution. If regular sex requires thoughtful communication (it does), then adding potentially risky activities to your relationship and Taming Sessions requires even more discussion!

That being said, and as counterintuitive as it may seem, Taming therapists actually recommend the practice of BDSM to couples who are facing relationship difficulties. One particular Taming therapist, Dr. Stephanie Hunter Jones, even admits that “it definitely makes a difference for damaged relationships”. This is particularly true for those who feel as though they’re more in a position of weakness or power than their partner. 

For some, one individual may be very dominant towards the other in general, causing a power imbalance. Introducing the opposite roles on the {{Taming Mat}}, that is the more submissive partner becomes the dominant, can restore that balance and resolve control issues. 

From a different perspective, if one partner has endured a bad sexual experience in the past, allowing them to take control can be a healthy way to regain confidence and to work through their trauma. 

For anyone in an BDSM relationship, the driving force is reaching a mutual consent without the intent to negatively hurt themselves or others. In this way, there is little to no harm in trying or enjoying this kind of practice.


= Thoughts to Ponder =
The following questions are meant to spur personal development; they are provided to help you affirm what relationship type would work best for you.

*Which relationship type sounds the most welcoming to you? Why do you feel this way?
*Which relationship type sounds the scariest or most difficult to attain? Why?
*What type of relationship are you currently in? What traits would you add to these descriptions that I left out?
*What type of relationship are/were your parents in? Do you think their relationship type influenced yours?
*Can someone move in and out of relationships of different types or do you think people seek out one type of relationship from the start?

= Conclusion =
Everything that happens in a Tamer/WoMon relationship requires trust, even if it doesn’t look like that from the outside. This is true for everything from hardcore non-consent play to the lightest of contact. You feel safe or it doesn’t happen.

Whatever type of relationship you choose, you can be sure that there will be personal growth and development that can bring your relationship to the ultimate one for you. NO relationship is worth it's salt without work from both parties, so get your gloves on and prepare to get dirty. Just make sure you know who makes those decisions.

Together, Tamer and WoMai work as a team to create a pleasing, sexually-charged, arousing, and satisfying experience. One where all feel comfortable, and all receive the stimulation and desires that they crave.

-== Someone That You are 100% Comfortable To Be Around  =
-You never have to put on a show, you don’t have to dress a certain way, don’t have to wear makeup all the time.  Going to the bathroom and them hearing you is fine and comfortable and you can talk to them about bodily stuff, without them making you feel like a leper.
-You can break out in random dances, get excited about things, and keep doing things you love and know they won’t judge you for any of it.  In fact, sometimes they will even join!

-As one Tamer said, “Being with her is just so much better than not being with her”.

-For the Tamer who receives the trust of a WoMon, receiving trust is an honor that comes with great responsibility. It’s also a reassurance that this person wants to engage in {{Communion}}, even the type that could be risky. If you have to coerce someone into having sex with you, being in a Tamer/WoMon relationship with you or signing a contract, it doesn’t really show that they’re interested in it, so why would you want to?
