The Beginning
This is the first in what I hope will be a long future of posts on the topic of Domestic Discipline. Over these first few days of this blog's existence I will attempt to answer several questions that you might have as readers and also better explain what I am hoping to use this blog to accomplish. First, know that if you are looking for information or simply to ask questions about DD this is the place. My opinions are based upon my personal experience and certainly are not indicative of a greater DD community.

A good friend of mine asked Paul to start this blog, and I think it is a brilliant idea. I've known many women, myself included, who have found it difficult to locate a reasonable male perspective as they are trying to learn and grow in DD. I'm excited to see what questions everyone has and to read Paul's responses. I have a feeling I'm going to be learning a lot about Paul along with the rest of you!

I love the idea of a blog by a vanilla DD husband. I am going to try to get my husband to read on here.
ReplyDeleteI'm excited to see input from the HOH point of view. My husband and I are very new to this wonderful lifestyle. We only have about a month under our belts(yeah, sorry, pun only half intended), but we have already seen amazing results in our marriage, our sex life, and even my son (from a previous relationship) has made huge changes in his attitude toward my husband for the better, since one of the bigger rules in our home is that I NOT undermine my husband in front of my child. I happened upon a LDD website by accident and just started reading. As these people were describing their thoughts and feelings on their pre-LDD relationships I felt as if they were plucking words directly from my head and "stealing" my thoughts. As I read on I could see how much richer and rewarding and intimate, just plain happier these couples' relationships were and I wanted that for my marriage. So I introduced the idea to my husband and read him articles that I found, pulling a lot of material from the Taken in Hand website. He agreed that this could be good for our marriage (he especially liked the part where he is never again sexually unsatisfied, as he would have free reign to take me whenever he wanted me, lol) But seriously, I think we both realized, based on our personalities and tendencies, that this is what we have wanted and needed all along and neither of us realized it until now. He also felt that we should start implimenting it and see what it can do for us. As I mentioned above, we only just started out and already we have seen huge improvements. I'm still in, shall we say, "boot camp" where we are trying to break a few of my really bad, lifelong habits and he has been oh so patient and fair. We struggle with consistency since we have a 6 year old in the home whom we don't want to know all the gory details and I am 6 months pregnant, so its really hard to get enough privacy to go to the bedroom and conduct business when I need it. Plus we work odd hours so we have some hurdles. But we do what we can as soon as we can. Back on point, though, there are quite a few blogs and posts from the perspective of the woman, or submissive, which are hugely helppful, but I am extremely interested in the viewpoint of the Head of Household. I see that this site seems to be designed tastefully and is intended to answer questions regarding the lifestyle, but I'm really hoping to also hear personal experiences and thoughts from Paul in addition to Q & A. I can't wait to read more from your standpoint, Paul.
