Good morning! I was sitting here enjoying my coffee and starting thinking about…
Praise… Not the over-the-top, flowery kind. Just the straightforward stuff. A genuine “good boy” when it feels right. It’s funny how those few words can shift the whole mood. One simple bit of praise and suddenly the energy changes.
I don’t need a fancy label for it. I just know it works. Watching someone light up because you took a second to say they pleased you… that’s an interesting kind of power. And on the flip side, holding it back can make the next “yes, that’s it” hit even deeper.
It’s not complicated. Praise is just one more tool in the box, sometimes sweeter than any tease, and twice as effective. I even started thinking about the way I actually praise my dirty little slut for doing such nasty things for me. While degrading, it actually gives that someone with a praise kink their fulfillment.
What about you? Do you like giving it, getting it, or both? Does a well-timed bit of praise change how you show up in your dynamic? Drop your thoughts in the comments.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to get dressed, get work started and, I need a refill… and maybe to go remind a certain someone he’s doing a good job this morning.
Until the next cup,
Michele 💙
