A BDSM picture is worth a 1000 words

I was talking with an amazing Master in Berlin a few weeks ago, and He mentioned a tool He used for both Himself and the slave to better understand each other.

The tool is for the Master and slave to communication what they like through pictures rather than words.

I loved this as a concept. You might have noticed that I like writing, so I have never really thought about talking through pictures, but I really like this as an idea.

I think many people can struggle to articulate what they want, so this can also help as rather than using words, you can use pictures.

But you still need to interpret

But even if you do this, you still need to interpret and understand why the person is sharing.

I remember once sharing a photo with a Master. I had shared this because I “saw” a real-life Master slave. The Master was just about to go to work, prepared in his suit by the slave, and the slave was dressing Him, kneeling in front of Him, waiting to kiss His shoes goodbye.

When I shared this photo with a Master – He told me that He thought I was completely wrong, and the slave in the picture rather than serving the Master was hungry for cock.

So who is right and who is wrong? Both views are accurate. It is how we interpret the picture, and an image can mean many different things to different people.

But in this case, it is not about right or wrong – but knowing why the person shared it with You, and what their interpretation was, rather than what your interpretation is, as by understanding their interpretation you can understand that person better.

So next time you are looking at photos – perhaps take a moment to save the images that really speak to you and use them to communicate.
