50 Days of Fetish Day 4: Teacher’s Pet
When I'm subbing, I'm really drawn to the idea of being "good"- pleasing my top and complying with instructions the best I can. In fact, one of the things I like best about hypnosis from the bottom is that a skilled hypnotist will often never actually allow you to fail (unless they want you to) which takes a lot of the background anxiety away. There's also a nice symbiosis with “being good” and my praise kink- the loop of being good to be praised to be even better- and my natural (*cough* cultural*cough*) tendencies towards people-pleasing. (Kink- the fun of just diving into some of your worst psychological tendencies in a less risky environment than...life. :)
In life, I also tend to frequently run into ethical complications (don't we all?) where finding a clear good can be tricky, so something as uncomplicated as kneeling well and THAT being indisputably good in the moment is really relaxing.
I tend to like being given tasks - even simple ones- because that gives me more opportunities to do well and be pleasing to my top.
ETA: Also, like with a real teacher’s pet- there’s an undertone here of being special. UNUSUALLY obedient and good. Being recognized and doted on and praised by authority. All of that related stuff.
