Kneeling, Crawling, and Other Dreadful Things

[FurryFury]

So, Catholic it is, then?

We Protestants never kneel unless we're going up for an altar call. LOL

Damn this wretched thread!!!

Ok...so, I'm a crawler. I admit it. I LOVE it. I REVEL in it. I feel aroused and sexy as hell when I do it. So much so that, a few moments ago, after reading a few posts, I felt compelled to take a few passes down my hallway. Somewhere in the middle of my second pass, the cats joined in with all their fluid gracefulness and arrogantly put me to shame. Still, I felt pretty good about it.

But it occured to me that I didn't really KNOW how I looked when I crawled. So I crawled on in to my bedroom (cats in tow), positioned myself in front of the mirror and crawled toward it. Not bad, O.R.....not bad at all. Relatively graceful, fluid hand motions, nice sway to the hips. I've sooo got this crawling thing down, man. (insert prideful smirk here)

Turned around, crawled back the way I came. I was feeling pretty damned sexy so I turned to give myself a sexy little smirk in the mirror...and....Sweet Jesus!!!





IS THAT MY NAKED ASS???!!!!!! IS THAT WHAT I LOOK LIKE FROM BEHIND????




Needless to say, I believe my crawling days are over! Damn this wretched thread!!!

Oh bullshit....EVERY woman says bad things about their own ass.... Suffice to say that He (or She) likes to see it... And let it go at that.

or rug burn...but i figure Ek would like knowing you were marked in some way

No, actually I prefer marking to involve teeth... Mine to be more specific...

[QUOTE =Captains wench]I love to kneel too. Crawling I'm really indifferent to. But I love to sit for hours kneeling beside my dom friends while I'm at my costume shop. Tho some shifting from time to time is involved, and usually I have to get up and help a customer or go fetch something from the back, but then it's back to my knees kneeling beside who ever is incharge that day. I just love the feeling of it. And it puts me at the perfect hight for petting if he's sitting. [/QUOTE]

*shrug* Personally, I couldn't do that ..If I wouldn't have a sub kneeling for that long (generally) without having her engage in some more "esoteric" activity.
Some temptations are not meant to be resisted.

Reading this reminds me of a time when a certain Dom visited me. We would communicate online each day and he would spend a few days a month at my home. I was exausted by the time he would leave. Having crawled around on my knees, bathing him, serving meals, and of course tending to his sexual needs.

Once during a shower, I was lathering his buttocks and he was very aroused. Moving around on my knees I slipped and fell onto my face. I kept washing him though I could taste blood, see it running down my legs. It wasn't till I stood to towel dry him he gasped and seemed impressed.

While I am good at tending to others, graceful...I am not.

Well, being Protestant myself, I've always thought it was all the religion with half the guilt and exercise

It sounds like you handled your alleged gracelessness with, um, grace. Aplomb, even.

I had teacher in high school (a nun) whose most frequent response to dropping things was, "I guess that's why they didn't name me Grace!" You reminded me of her

And if you were raised a black southern baptist protestant.....better music!

I just rose back up and continued to care for him. He was enjoying it so. Wish I could blame it on the slippery water and soap. Unfortunately, there have been a few instances in my lifetime.

I know it's supposed to be sexy & hot, for someone like me ...this does not always meet expectations.

Huh???

He (or She) = Master or Mistress....

I know for myself ... I have a certain appreciation for the crawling "rear view".

I hate to kneel. It's awkward, uncomfortable, silly, boring, and usually involves domesticated animals coming to investigate an invasion of their altitude.

But more than having to kneel, I hate being expected to crawl. It's all the awkwardness and discomfort of kneeling with the added confusion of how to do it in the first place. I mean, seriously. In fiction, crawling is always graceful (even if it's tear-stained). Roquelaire-style crawling involves swaying hips, delicate blushes, and dampening vaginas. But in my own experience, being ordered to crawl is the beginning of an interior monologue that goes like this:

Fuck.
This floor is dusty.
Should I look forward?
Wait, it's left-arm, right-leg... then switch. I think. Or is it the other way around?
Oh, there's that sock I couldn't find.
Ouch, my wrist!
Should I pick up my feet? Brace my toes on the floor like a sprinter about to take off?
Or just drag my legs behind me like a landlocked mermaid?
I can't believe he likes it when I do this.
Who knew the hallway was this long?
When I get to that bed, I'm going to cocoon myself in those covers and never come out. Sex is overrated in the first place.

Anyone have any tips on improving the crawling experience? I keep thinking that if I learned to feel graceful (or even remotely attractive) while doing it, I might enjoy it more.

Of course, if you have no helpful advice but just want to throw an odd "Poor baby" my way, that would be nice too!

the only advice i could really give is to don't think, just do. He says "get on your knees", you get on your knees, and wait for the next command. He says "crawl to the kitchen", you immediately crawl your butt to the kitchen and then wait for the next command. He says "lick the toilet clean", you do exactly that, and then wait for the next command. do. serve. don't analyze or complain in your head. just remember what you're there for and do what it is you're supposed to do.

i know, that may sound a little simpler said than done, but it's only complicated if you make it so. sure, sometimes as submissives and slaves we have to do things that kinda suck. or really suck. but you know what gets my mind off the difficulty/suckiness/cruelty of a situation?? focusing on my assigned task, and making sure it's done to the absolute best of my ability. if your focus is complete, there won't be any space in your mind or heart to think of your aching knees or the dirty floor or how mean he is or whatever else.

i think i jsut like having my ass high in the air. I don't mind crawling. After readong another post, i'll remember never to look in a mirror when i do it though.

I agree with the idea of catlike movements. Think slinky. As you pull a knee infront of the other take a brief second to shift your wait to that knee before/as you are moving your other knee up. I say keep looking evenly at what's on the floor infront of you.

I jsut tend to think about grace. i don't know if that helps how i actually look, but if i think about the thought of grace... like lady godiva riding through town butt naked, and holding her head high and bearing it... or Griselda fromt he Decameron, walking home dejected form a castle in only her shift. Just thinking about grace i feel halps me be graceful. You can have poise on your hands and knees.


As for kneeling. I have a hard time with that, even thougth i'm young and spry and 21, I had Osgood-Schlatter Disease in my knees really really bad as a teen, and i'm still feeling the effects if i have to kneel on a flat floor (i can kneel off a ledge fine, but on a flat floor it's horrible, i use to be an alter server and i'd always kneel at the edge of the dias behind the other servers.) So, when/if i kneel i often ask if i can rest on my lower arms... If you spread your knees apart, jsut past shoulder width, lean foward and place your elbows on the ground and your hands flat on the floor, I find it suprizingly comfortable and i know people who in the past have enjoyed it becasue it's made parts of me redially available to them if they so wish.

I've noticed that this is much better for me as well! I should just go ahead and request something like this. Otherwise my feet start to fall asleep!

I enjoy my sub crawling, though not enough for her to do it often. She confessed some of the same feelings to me early on, about how she doesn't like it for many of the same reasons you said. Not to mention I worry about wear on her knees. That being said we discussed it and it wasn't a hard limit, or even a limit for her, therefore it's within my right as her Dom. to the agreement in our contract that if it should please me she will do it, which I am sure you understand.

All that being said I honestly don't think there is a "graceful" way to crawl. Kneeling can be very beautiful, especially when she is tied, but crawling...by the mere mechanics over it is horsey (no pony play here) or comical often. Then again when it is comical it can lighten the mood of the scene a bit and can be used to switch gears.

So, as a Dom, the only advice I can offer is to do it to the best of your ability and know that if your Dom requested it he is enjoying the sight of you on all fours.

Domo Arigatoo! The idea of making someone's body "shudder" is one of the more sexy things to me. One you find that spot (button) it flows out of her (them) like a river....I like that moment.

As a self proclaimed Addict of Sensation, I love that too from the other side (mostly.) *grins*

Bumping this thread for new twists and turns:

The other day, I was expected to kneel for really just a short while. And my feet hurt, and hurt, and prickled and oh well. I was just gonna suck it up, but then, I was expected to lay my hands palm-up on my thighs. (This is BDSM 101, right? Basic stuff, you'd think.) But it took just a minute of that until I just started crying and begging to be allowed off the floor.

Fortunately, the Dom in question was merciful and saw that I was on the verge of a real breakdown.

Afterwards, I couldn't (and I still can't) think why I nearly lost it over a simple position. I've identified as submissive through my entire sexually active life, so I've been around a few blocks more than once (without tears). But this kneeling/crawling thing still really gets to me.

Did this bring back any memories of something in your past? Or was it one of those straw that broke the camel's back moments? You just kneeled one time too many?
