Hi Jenny:
My advice would be to read my eHow article, "How To Be a Dominatrix," at eHow.com.
"Reinforcement Training" is pretty simple. There are about a dozen "training positions" described in detail in the book, "The Art of Sensual Female Dominance," by Claudia Varrin. Aside from your own attire and a good stiff crop (whip), as a minimum what you will need for him is a collar, a couple of leashes, and a genital harness. The leashes can attach to either the collar or the harness. These don't have to be leather, but they should be black. He can purchase the collar and leashes at a good pet supply store. The genital harness can be purchased on-line from a website like at spicesforlove.com.
There are additional chest harnesses, ball gags and bit gags, wrist and ankle cuffs (restraints), spreader bars, etc. etc. etc. that you can buy on-line as you add to your equipment bag, or toy chest.
If you prefer, rather than buy a genital harness, you can simply use a good chastity device, like the
CB6000, or something similar, and clip your leash to that.
Remember, this is about control. What he realizes that he wants and needs is a "power exchange" with you. Like most men, he realizes that he is weak-willed, especially when it comes to sex, and so he needs a confident, strong-willed woman to calmly get control of him. He wants and needs to be trained and controlled, teased but denied.
Training a male is about 75 percent positive reinforcement, and 25 percent negative reinforcement. Repeatedly tell him he's a "good boy," when he obeys and does something right. He will come to live for that little verbal reward from you. But, never hesitate to reprimand and correct him when he falls short of your expectations.
When administering correction or negative reinforcement, there are several things to remember. Always tell him what he did wrong immediately, and let your voice convey your disapproval and impatience with his actions. Don't ever ignore his little failures, or let him get away with minor infractions. Finally, during Reinforcement Training, always punctuate your correction with a good swift stroke of your crop across his backside or thighs. These strokes should be hard enough to be a deterrent to repeating the infraction.
In many ways, men are like children. Reward them when they are good, and punish them when they are not. Set clear guidelines for them, put your foot down firmly, and let them know exactly what you expect of them, and they will be little dears. But remember, they are devious, sneaky and not to be trusted.
My advice is to keep their little thingies locked up. Get a good, reliable chastity device, and then, as a reward, only let them out of it for short periods of pleasure, but never more than once a week.
Also, check out the book, "The Mistress Manual: The Good Girl's Guide to Female Dominance," by Mistress Lorelei. Also, buy the book "Male Chastity: A Guide for Keyholders," by Lucy Fairbourne.
All this is good advice for ALL women. Its not about "pretending" to be a Dominatrix. Its simply about learning how to deal with men in a successful manner.
