Girl Talk Dealing With Rebellion

Thank all of you for making comments. A special hug and kiss for the boys that were kind enough to share a poem with me. As far as I am concerned having a man write poetry especially for me is a treat. It shows he cares. After years of married life John is not as romantic as he used to be. When we were dating he would write a few lines of verse, and then recite them. I hope you boys do the same for the lady in your life. It makes it even more romantic if you have the courage to get down on one knee. When you are finished reciting, bend over and gently kiss her foot. Then say the magic words, ' I love you'. If you are already in a 'fem/dom' relationship say, 'I love you, mistress'. A girl never gets tired of hearing those words from the man in her life.






One of my friends in college used to say that you could tell a lot about a boy just by the way he kissed. I think that is true, but you can also tell a lot about a boy by the poetry he writes.
Women love to be courted and romanced. They also want to be loved and respected by their husband. Men need to follow some simple rules. Never interrupt when women are speaking.
In mixed company men need to learn to be silent until asked to speak. Learn to stand when a lady enters or leaves a room. If you want your wife to be the leader in your relationship learn to defer to her judgement. If you want to play golf on Saturday, learn to ask her permission. Above all remember that courting and romance does not end on your wedding day.



In the early days of our 'fem/dom' relationship rebellion was a nagging problem. On most days John would be his typical obedient self. However, there were other days when he wanted to be more independent. There are times when a guy is in a submissive mood, and times when he is not. It is those off times that create problems for the female. How can a wife be an effective mistress to her husband if there are times he simply does what he wants. It seams like the typical male wants his wife to be a mistress at certain times, and then at other times, he does not. This makes if very difficult for a women to understand what her husband really wants and needs.



Earlier in the blog I talked about the time John played golf on Saturday morning without permission. This was an overt act of disobedience. There were other times where he did what he was told, but sulked the entire day. I guess you could call it a passive aggressive behavior. He did as told, but by his attitude showed me he was not happy. From what I hear this type of male behavior is not uncommon. This is the type behavior that can easily destroy a budding 'fem/dom' relationship. It is also a sign that the male does not have true respect for the natural authority that his wife has over him.


So many men write to me saying they want their wife to be more dominant, but they could never be in what they call a 24/7 relationship. Well, I would like to ask them a question. How is the wife supposed to know when she should act dominant , and when she should not. Is she supposed to say something like,' is this a good time for me to give you an order'? It tends to make the entire relationship resemble a game that the husband controls. He doesn't really want his wife to be a real mistress, he just wants her to play the game on his terms.


When John was allowed back into the house it was with a firm understanding that I was going to be the boss. Yes, I was going to be his mistress. Yes, I was going to control almost every aspect of his non working life, and that he would have very little, if any, personal freedom. The kennel was a part of this experience. He was a little shocked to see the kennel in the spare bed room. He was even more shocked when he learned that he would be sleeping in it. Putting a man trough the kennel experience may seam a little cruel to some of you. However, every time he crawled into the cage, and locked him self in, it was a firm reminder of who was in control.


In the first few weeks of our new relationship the kennel acted as a kind of discipline tool. After a short time John learned to hate the kennel. No television, no radio. It was just the boring experience of laying in there hour after hour. He never knew if he would be in there for just an hour or the entire afternoon and evening. He just knew that if his attitude was not right, mistress would put him in it. If he did anything at all to displease mistress, he knew he would be put in the kennel. It helped him to understand that my authority over him was real. It helped him to understand that our new relationship was not some type of game he could turn off or turn on at his whim.

Everything about the kennel experience is highly humiliating for a man. For the first time in his adult life a women has true physical power over him. She holds the key. When the door is finally opened he must crawl out of the little door on all fours. For the man who is accustomed to calling the shots in his world this is a real game changer. He even needs to ask permission to urinate. In this environment John quickly learned to respect and to some extent fear the authority I had over him. Over time that sense of power and authority became very real in John's eyes. He became so accustomed to doing what he was told that he effectively became what most people would refer to as a slave husband.



It might not work for all women, but for me the kennel was a very workable disciplinary tool.
Along with the kennel and other tools John began to have a real fear of me. He hated corner time. He was afraid that I might invite his sister over while he was locked in the kennel. I don't think he could have taken that type of humiliation. However, from reading the blog, you know that on occasion I have used humiliation as a tool to achieve the behavior I wanted from John. Over time I learned what worked and what didn't work. John learned that it was up to him to please me and not the other way around. It may seam simple, but this is a very difficult concept for the male mind to understand.




What I learned in the first few years of our new relationship was that any type of rebellion; disobedience, talking back, sulking, bad attitude, etc needed to be dealt with firmly and immediately. I no longer had the kennel, but I did have a hard tile floor for John to kneel on. John knew I kept a big, bright, yellow hair ribbon in my purse. John understood that I was not afraid to use these tools if necessary. He understood that mistress expected him to obey, and do so cheerfully, regardless of his mood.


A casual reader of the blog would say why would a big, strong man accept this type of treatment from his wife. Once out of the kennel, he could do what he wanted. She couldn't physically stop him. This is true. However, what these people don't understand is that in heart, in his physic, he wants and needs female to control his life. He knows that if he ever commits a serious rebellion against his mistress, the 'fem/dom' aspects of his marriage would be over for ever.




We have now been in our 'fem/dom' relationship almost six years. I guess John is a well trained as any husband. Taking orders from me is now second nature to him. It now feels very natural for him to walk a step behind and to ask permission. Last year a girl friend complimented me on how obedient and docile John seamed to be. He may act more like a lamb then a lion, but he is a very sweet and loving lamb. Yes, I am proud of him as a man and as a husband.

Love, Mistress Kathy

As someone just starting down the road to a true femdom relationship, your words are very helpful.

Thoughtless rebellion is an issue within our relationship. It isn't his mood at issue, just his instinct to try and give his opionion and plan events.

I can't have a kennel but I think a dog bed in the basement closet might do the trick...

Ms. Kathy,
It was just a few days ago that I found your wonderful blog. I am hooked completely. I have read every word from the beginning. Your insight into the male mind is tremendous. What strikes me most is the appreciation and attention you have for the little things that mean so much. Not always calling him by name, having pet names, inspecting his work -- all of it. That, and your appreciation about the difficulty a man has in expressing his need for submission to the one person who's opinion he values most.

I do not live as a slave husband, but I am submissive to my wife and she does sit at the head of the table, while I sit on the side next to our daughter. In fact, the three women (wife and two daughters) sit closest to the head, while my son and I sit on the sides across from each other, and furthest from the head. It just worked out that way.

I do the laundry and as many chores as I can and she is well known within our house as the head of the family. The phrase "we have to ask mom" is often heard in our house.

I look forward to every word you right. I admire you and your husband and thank you for this blog.

Hi, just want to say I love your blog and think you're both very lucky to have found this lifestyle. Hope I can find a domme to submit to one day.

I've read many of your posts from time to time, from the earliest through to this latest one.

As someone else says, very insightful.

Has John ever bluntly refused to comply with the kennel punishment?

Busted Fenders

They call it a TrainWreck
A sucking vortex. A slow
Fuse. Bright red fingernails
On Peach Bedroom walls.

But What to THEY know?

Of quivering bliss. Trembling
Passion, sucking the Cowpers
From the tip, and dripping it
On Silky Pink stilettos.

I think every male has a problem with rebellion,especially at first.
What I found out is that strict 24/7 chastity and a woman that doesn't hesitate to go to the whip can get this bad behavior right out of them in a short time.Men don't really want this rebellion but our society almost makes it
impossible for them to resist trying it.

I think most men will rebel at some point. We all like the idea of a FLR with a domme element but when it is full time it is difficult but what do we expect? I mean after all you can't read our mind as to when we should be dommed and when we shouldn't...so, it is your right and responsibility to make it expected that it is 24/7.

I think most men benefit from some sort of spanking. Not cruel corporal punishment but a firm lecture with expectations and then a spanking that will remind him who is in charge and that you love him. You are doing it for the relationship just as you are being the head of household is for everyones benefit.
So,....spank a way

Ms. Kathy,
Like many of your posts, I want to comment on this wonderful entry, but I just can't find anything more to add. It seems that you have explained everything perfectly, and I just hank you for your work on this blog.

I think all men will rebel. It is just a matter of how often and when. This is where consistent training and regular reminders of who is in charge come into play. I think you once wrote about how a man is much like a good dog such as a bird dog. It is in his nature to submit and want to please. It is up to you to shape, groom and guide his behaviors. With your guidance he will reach his potential and the two of you will be quite happy. I also agree that some spanking is a good idea. It can be very strong psychologically and symbolic to have your man bare assed over your knee.

Kathy, I agree that all men will rebel at some point. I have been married to Donny for 4 years and he has rebelled from time to time. One of the areas was accepting his place in our home. As I am a lawyer and work in the city I can afford for him to stay at home and look after our daughter, Jasmine (3 years old) and the house. His rebellion is in wanting to treat me as an equal and in speaking without permission. I have zero tolerance on these things. I insist that when he speaks to me he curtsies and waits for permission to speak and that he speaks with utmost respect. For eaxample, yesterday I came in from the rail station early (at 3.00 pm) as I wanted to see Jasmine and I arranged to meet Jo, Donny's sister, at the house. I opened the front door and called out to Donny "Honey, come and help me with my coat and purse". He came out of the downstairs nursery and immediately asked me why I was home early. He then remebered himself, "I'm so sorry madame, I was just surprised to see you. Please let me take your coat."
"Is Jo here?". "No madame...I'm so sorry please don't be angry!" "Take my purse to the office, I'm going to see Jasmine. Don't disturb us. When Jo arrives, show her through." Donny curtsied and took my purse after putting my outside coat away. Later the incident was put in the punishment book to be dealt with later.

Kathy I believe in zero tolerance for bad behaviour. The above may seem trivial, but I expect a little bit of respect and fear from Donny. His behaviour was one of an equal talking to an equal instead of a slave husband addressing a higher being. What he ashould have said was "good afternoon madame, may I take your coat and Purse. Is there anything you require. May i report that Jasmine has been as good as gold this morning."

When Jo came Donny was in a better frame of mind and treated her with the utmost respect. He served us coffee and cakes he'd made and curtsied and got on with his chores. At one point he came into the nursery where we were and asked permission to go shopping, he then left and got the weekly shop from the mall.

Donny is a good husband and I love him dearly, and it helps that he loves and fears my power in equal measure. I told Jo what had happened when I came in and she was shocked, "how rude of him, what was he thinking? Will you punish him?"

What do you think the appropriate punishment should be, Kathy?
