Chapter 47. What's up with Calvin?
Tuesday afternoon.
The doorbell rings. Tommy goes to answer. It's Calvin. OMG!!! What's up?"
Calvin comes in, looking upset and nervous. "Calvin, what's going on? Are you okay?"
"I'm not okay and this is the only place I knew to go to."
"What happened?" Dylan walks to the doorway, still naked. Calvin does a double take but is so upset that it doesn't register much with him.
"Mike sat me down for a talk. And it was awful. and I'm very scared."
Tommy: "Come in, Calvin and sit down and breathe deeply and let yourself relax. Would you like something to drink? Coffee, tee, juice, soda?" Calvin: "Orange juice with be great if you have it." "Coming right up," says Dylan, and he goes to get some. When he returns to the living room, Calvin is sitting on the couch and Tommy is in the chair across from him. Dylan hands Calvin the juice and goes to sit on the floor alongside Tommy. Tommy speaks quietly and calmly. "Can you tell us anything about what happened, or what was said?"
"Well first, he let me know that he wouldn't work with me but that he could still be a friend and mentor. He said he's no good with beginners."
Dylan looks at Tommy and they both smile. "It was good for Mike to be that up front with you rather than letting you build up any false hopes."
"I guess, but it still hurts. I was very attracted to him and would have loved being sub with him."
"Did you tell him that?"
"Yes, and I guess that was a big mistake."
"Why? He was up front with you, so it was only fair that you be up front with him."
"That's what I thought. That's why I said what I said. But then he kind of reacted to what I said."
"How?"
"He picked up on my talking about `being sub with him.' and told me he was going to give me some advice."
"Uh-oh" says Dylan but Tommy puts his hand over dylans's mouth and Dylan licks it and it makes him pull away. "What kind of advice did he have to offer?"
"He said I didn't understand what it meant to be a sub. So he told me a lot of things about what subs do and what happens to them a lot. And he showed me a whole series of short videos on line of subs getting whipped, chained up, pissed on, tortured, all stuff like that and I was grossed out by some of it and terrified by most of it. I couldn't see myself in any of those situations."
Dylan says,"Okay, Calvin. I know what you're talking about. I've seen some of those videos myself."
Tommy looks shocked: "You have?"
"Yes, back when I was figuring myself out and thought I could never have you be my Dom. So I was doing some research. But it didn't scare me away, Calvin, and I'll tell you why: Porn is never realistic. The people being filmed are professionals and, depending on what they're doing, get very well paid. But it's all an act. I don't mean it's not real, especially some of the things Mike had you look at. I mean, it is really happening, those guys are really getting whipped, but it is something they agreed to, and a lot of the screaming and crying out are all part of the act. But none of it is real. That's not the way it is."
"But you told me that you had just gotten spanked."
"But that's different," Tommy jumps in. "There's no acting here. It is all real. Sometimes, for reasons we won't go into, sometimes Dylan needs a spanking. He knows it and I know it, and then he gets spanked. And sometimes there are real tears. But I know just how much he can handle, so I know when to stop doing it."
"I sure wouldn't be able to take much," says Calvin.
"Well, we all develop over time. I have a high pain threshold."
"What does that mean?"
"It means that I can take a lot of pain without having to make it stop. AND I enjoy it."
"You enjoy getting spanked?"
"Yes. I soak up the pain. Pain and pleasure get combined. A lot to understand right now, I know."
Tommy adds, "Calvin, maybe spanking won't be your thing. Everybody is different and has different likes and different limits. And anyone who is good working with beginners understands that they're going have very low limits at first. That's why some experienced Doms choose not to have to work with subs they have to baby along."
Calvin thinks out loud. "I like the idea of some Dom spanking me, but I don' t know if I will be able to take much of it."
Dylan explains, "Well when you have a first encounter with a Dom, you can try it. He'll let you stop it at any time. And then you'll know whether or not you enjoy it. It's as simple as that."
Calvin suddenly jumps! "Holy shit! I just realized that you're naked! You really do live like this."
Dylan smiles, "Yes. But it's important for you to realize that we both like it this way. I like it because it makes me feel in a sub way and because I know it pleases Tommy and I am always trying to please Tommy in as many ways as possible."
Tommy adds, "And I like it because . . . . well, look at him! And as for your wondering how much you can take, always remember that a good Dom always respects limits. You can tell by looking at dylan's ass that he had a good spanking earlier today. Notice that he isn't too marked up. I spanked him up to his limit, no farther."
"Mike told me that the Dom sets the limit and the sub just has to take it."
Dylan starts to speak, but Tommy holds up his hand to stop him from speaking.
"Calvin," explains Tommy, "if a Dom told you that it would be a pretty clear signal that it wouldn't be safe to play with him. The first time someone is interested in spanking you, just let him know what you never did it before and you aren't sure how much you could handle. A good Dom will respect that and will help you out."
"Help me out, how?"
"He would start off very gently, then slowly pick up the pace, observing your reactions carefully, and would ease up if he saw that you were having trouble taking it. And besides that, you would have safe words to keep things sane."
"What would good safe words be, Tommy?"
"The simplest of all are traffic lights---yellow, meaning "back off" or "I need a break' and red, meaning "stop everything right away."
"Is that what Dylan uses?"
"He could if he wanted to, but we have other words he can use. Besides, he has never ever had to safe word me for anything physical."
"What do you mean, `for anything physical'?
"There have been a couple of occasions when he's had to safe word a conversation because it was upsetting him too much. Dylan sometimes has anxiety attacks. At all times I try to make sure he feels safe and protected."
"Sounds like you're a good Dom, then."
"Well, I guess, but I prefer to think of myself mainly as his best friend and his lover. But, if I remember, you have said you're not really ready to fall in love or anything like that."
"that's true, dude. This is all just so new to me."
"Well, there's no rush at all. Go at your own pace."
"The first thing is going to try to find someone who will play with me."
Dylan speaks. "Have you had much experience at all, just with ordinary sex?
"Oh, sure. But nothing dom/sub."
"Sometimes it's just a question of putting out the right signals."
"What do you mean?"
"In conversation, you could let someone know that you like to be submissive and then see what he does with it. Other times, you could simply fall to your knees and suck, stuff like that. Do you like to get fucked?"
"Haven't tried it yet so I don't know."
Tommy cuts in. "Get a plug or dildo and start practicing on opening up your ass so when it finally does happen you won't be inexperienced. It takes practice to get used to it. Have you ever stuck fingers up your ass?"
"Oh sure, I do that a lot. It turns me on."
"Then you've got all the makings of being a good bottom. Try toys."
"I'll keep that in mind. thanks for the advice. Dylan, could I take a closer look at that thing you have on your dick?"
"Sure. It's called a chastity device or a "cock cage"
Dylan spreads his legs and lets Calvin examine it.
"Why do you wear it?"
"Tommy put it on me. He likes me caged. This way he controls my dick. I can't get hard and usually can't cum when it's on, expect by getting fucked."
Tommy takes over. "That is definitely a Dom/sub thing, Calvin." A lot of Doms cage their subs."
"Sounds humiliating."
"it is to a point. In a relationship it definitely sets up a pecking order. It's clear that I'm in charge. And my cock is the important one. When a sub is caged, it makes it easier for him to focus all his attention on the Dom's cock, as it should be."
"I see. Wow, There's so much to learn." Dylan replies, "Always. We're still learning, that's for sure. And we're getting married soon."
"Really? congratulations. How soon?"
"Saturday."
"Wow."
Dylan looks at Tommy and Tommy nods. "Wanna come? There will be a lot of guys at the wedding who are into the scene. Doms and subs. Masters and slaves. Some will be single, too.
"Really? I'd love to."
Tommy gives him a card with the directions, date and time. "Then please come, either alone or with someone. Let us know if you're going to bring someone with you. But I recommend you come alone---better change to meet other dudes who are into the scene and talk to them."
"Yea, I think I'll come alone."
Dylan gets an idea and whispers it to Tommy: "Maybe we should send him to one of our friends. They might be willing to take him under their wing."
Tommy agrees. "Good idea. Who should we call? Peter or Tony?
Dylan thinks. "Um, I'd say that Tony would be the best because he's the most mellow."
"I'll call him. Meanwhile, you explain to Calvin what we're doing."
Dylan goes to Calvin and tells him, "We're trying to see if we could get you to meet one our Master/slave couples. They'll all be at the wedding, but they might also be able to give you a clearer picture of what it's like to be a true sub."
"Sounds good. Is that what you guys were talking about?"
"Yes. Tommy's making a call to one of the Masters now."
Tommy's call
"Tony, this is Tommy calling. How are you guys doing?"
"Great. Good to hear from you, Tommy. What's up?"
"We have managed to be guiding this hot guy who is very interested in becoming a sub or at least learning more what it's all about. He's filled with questions. He met Mike, and Mike brought hm over here because he doesn't have any patience with beginners. But as for us, . . ."
"I can hear you thinking, Tommy. You're not a good example to him."
"Exactly. So We were wondering if maybe you two would be good people for him to get to know and maybe you could take him under your wing."
"Say no more. When is the kid (I assume it's a kid) available?"
"Right now, in fact. He's here with us and we ran this idea by him and he's excited about the possibility of meeting a real Master and slave."
"Send him over. Right away. This will be good for markus, as well. I'm going to go talk to him now. Tell the boy that when he comes to knock on our door, he should be barefoot."
Tommy chuckles. "So already it starts!"
"No sense wasting time if he can't obey a simply command like that. What the fuck is he going to do when I tell him to take everything off and kneel on the floor?"
"Good thinking, bro. Thanks so much. He'll be there in about 10."
Tommy comes back into the room and speaks to Calvin. "I'm sending you to our friends who can help you more in learning about Dom/sub and bdsm. Very nice guys, and very much into the Master/slave dynamic, almost all the time. It should prove to be very helpful."
"Hey thanks, man, I'm really excited about this."
"So excited that you'll be willing to obey a simple command from Master Tony, the Master I'm sending you to."
"Um, hit me. What does he want from me."
"He says that when you knock on their door you should be barefoot. A simple test."
"Hey, sure. Wow, that's kind of hot! I'll do it for sure."
Tommy writes down the address and gives it to Calvin, who says goodbye to the both of them and tells them he's looking forward to the wedding.
