Notes against the year

What the year adds to the entry

These are the notes kept in the margin of the page, written year on year against the same subjects.

  1. Dated by the day it was written An entry belongs to the day, not to the month it was noticed in.
  2. Printed once, then kept Nothing is reprinted in a later impression. What was said stays as it was said.
  3. The margin is the index A reader who wants a subject looks down the margin, not through the entries.

The desks

The subject is Domme confidence and the first session. The writing is filed under domme, confidence, room, stepping.

On Dom, that means Domme confidence and the first session.

Where to begin

Three things first, on Dom.

This is how Dom would put it, for Domme confidence and the first session.

  1. Agree it firstNothing is agreed on the day. The rate. The time. The limits. What is off the table. All of it, in writing, before anyone meets.
  2. Say what you wantA first session goes wrong when both people are guessing. Write your limits down. Send them. Read the other side's.
  3. Book the room, not the fantasyAsk what the session looks like, end to end. A vague answer deserves a second question.

Safety

Safewords come first. Boundaries come second. Aftercare comes third. None of the three is optional here, and all three are on the record before the session rather than decided in the moment. Any session can be stopped, by either person, at any point, without explaining yourself first.
