I enjoy formalized positions a lot. They’re good for the sub, because when a position is called out, she knows exactly what you want her to do and that it’ll please you if she does it right. And they’re good for the Dom because they keep her attentive and place her into a kind of mental bondage. Personally, I’ve selected several full body positions that are useful for general play, and then added some short names for certain arm and leg positions so I can get a lot a variety without having to define too many individual positions. When I say “kneel, arms behind”, she knows exactly what to do and I know exactly what I get. It’s beautiful. If I’d try to explain the position “Kneel, arms behind”, I’d need a rather elaborate description: “Kneel with legs and feet together, top of feet on ground, sitting back upon heels, back straight, head level, eyes down, fingers interlocked behind head, elbows pushed back”. cranialvault: Now that is composure. -- source link
