The Look...

Getting a pointed look is like an excuse for the fifteen year old in me to make whatever situation even worse by open my mouth and being bratty.

LOL - Thought it might.

I'll be passing on that one, then.

Isabella isn't overly fond of pain.

;)

Do it over clothing or reverse the tape so they sticky side is outward.
 
Yep, but not a look...

At least not yet as my Mr. is more than a thousand miles away. But he has a tone of voice on the phone and even a different use of words. Sometimes I feel like he can turn on a dime. I know immediately when I have crossed a line and before he even tells me what, I am opening the journal to log what I know will be another punishment.

But along the same vein, I can tell from his words or his tone when I have pleased him with my own words or response. It's not what he says, but rather how and when he says it.

A most interesting thread to follow, I look forward to seeing my Mr's look!

I agree with this. Daddy is currently across the ocean, and all we have is yahoo and web-cams to keep in touch. It's been like this all year (almost over 2 months to go!).

I am noticing that I can tell by the look on his face if he's pleased or thinking deliciously evil thoughts or whatever. He will get this evil grin on his face especially when he's teasing me about something. If I do obey him quickly he gets this look of pride on his face. So far the only time I've seen the angry look was when someone was knocking on his door interrupting us, thank goodness...LOL.

But all I have right now are typed words and a moving picture of him, no voice however I still get that connection from 7000 miles away, just from a look.
 
i haven't spent all that much time together with my Dom in person but He definately has a look. Only one that i have noticed so far. Usually occurs when i am being sarcastic in somewhat of a dangerous way. The same look is given when i am not following orders. It's a simple reminder to straighten up my act or else. It puts me right into complete submissive mode.
 
My second Master definitely had The Look. Our friends, who were unaware of the nature of our relationship, were always surprised by my ability to perceive exactly what He wanted before He ever uttered a word. I definitely developed a sixth sense with him and could 'tell' what he was thinking simply by watching his body language. When I got The Look, I knew I was in trouble (good or bad) depending on the situation.

Hahahahaha. God I totally agree there. Sometimes you just can't resist prodding the tiger in the cage with a really long stick.
 
I gotta agree with Cat. It's not just a dom thing. Yes, K has a 'look', but so do I. So did my mom and dad, and my sister and . . . well just about everyone I know. *shrugs*

Well, yes that's true, but the Look your mom gives is different then The Look at least in my opinion. I dont become sexually aroused when a family member gives me the evil eye...
 
The right look at the right moment specially if joint to a particular" tone" of voice talking little words in a strange mysterious foreign language to me is better than everything . :rose:

Well you are right there in part, but I still don't see it as an exclusively D/s thing as I have felt the same way with previous vanilla partners when they looked at me a certain way, or even someone else. I also get a rush of love and joy when I can sit back quietly and watch him with other people...family, friends, colleagues...and see him smile or cast a quick look in my direction with that beautiful smile he has, or a look which conveys what he wishes we were doing or what he intends doing later...that to me is more about knowing and connecting with the person than necessarily being D/s.

*nod* I agree as I have that connection to my boyfriend despite our non D/s relationship, but I do miss the subtle nuance of The Look only a Dom can give.

I think that nuance is more in the head of the people experiencing it than actually there because as we have acknowledged, we can still see and experience those looks in vanilla relationships, it is just easier to romanticise it as a D/s component when associated with a D/s relationship. :devil:

While I haven't been fortunate enough yet to experience Master's "look," He definitely has a way of communicating through His tones of voice. (In the short time we've been together, I've learned rather quickly which tone means "Now would be a good time to shut up." Given my tendency to open my mouth before thinking, that's a very useful one to pay attention to.) I do agree that it's common in many relationships, not just BDSM, that partners learn those little things about each other that clues them in on what the other is thinking or feeling. Still, I like to think there's a special thrill that exists for us pyl's when we're given that "look" or "tone" that maybe means more to us than those in a vanilla relationship. I could be wrong, but there's my opinion.

This comment is not directed at you, but from your post this thought entered my head.
Maybe one does not get the same 'thrill' from looks in a vanilla relationship, because one is not meant to be vanilla. Maybe that special look that's discussed here is so special because is conveys the idea of power, control. This same thing would not be there in a vanilla relationship. But there can be other looks that turn vanillas on just as much as submissives are turned on by the 'dominant look'.

I too have yet to experience the look from Daddy, but I definitely know the different tones of voice. He also has a special word for me that let's me know when I'm getting close to a line. And trust me my whole attitude changes when it's uttered.
 
Master definitely has "a look", also a tone to his voice.. and there's this low growl he has that just says "Mine!" . We're also many miles apart so we depend on IM's as well. He also has a look that says, "I'm disappointed in you"... I hate that one.. and on YIM all he has to do is type "..." and I know that he's making that face...
 
Yes, Look, Voice, word choice, etc. "v" knows these well after being with me for 16 years. She knows my moods, and while I do confuse her on a regular basis (I'm a moody bastard, and complex), she still meshes fairly well.

"w" had an amazing ability to read me though. even though we were together for just a short time, it was like she could read my mind, emotionally speaking. When I would hit her with the Look, she would be on her knees without even a word being said. Sensitive gal, she is.

The Look exists in any relationship, but I don't think people are romanticisng it unneccesarily. I think it is simply an indication of how much more in tune we are with our partners than most people in vanilla relationships are. "v" and I have been together for 16 years, as I mentioned, yet I know her so much better, and more completely, now that we are in a D/s relationship. And she knows me better as well. As a result, her reaction to the Look is much more immediate, more visceral. It means much more to her now, even though I used it back when we were still vanilla.
 
Yes, my Dom has "a look" and "a voice", but when he cocks one eyebrow at me.. well then I know I'm in trouble. LOL :nana:
