BDSM/How do I start being a Dom Husband?

Question
My wife is 13 years older, and really wants me to dominate her sexually, and I really like the sound of it but I really am not sure where to start? We have made many attempts but they always fail..... My wife tries to hint to me about things but I don't always pick up the hints. I really have like what we have done so far, but I just want it to flow better, and I want to be more verbal as well.. Please help me to start?

Answer
Hi, Isaac...

I apologize for the delayed reply.  I've been up in Edmonton, Canada at a conference since last Thursday.

Wow.

You are in a similar situation as I am in.  I suspect that you'll have to develop a new "way of being in the world" in order to convincingly bring your dominance out in the bedroom.  That is, if you can't be rather dominant in regular life, it will be nearly impossible to do it in the bedroom.

Here's what I've considered and, to some extent, done.

1) Read books about being an Alpha male (lots available)
2) Read book (such as The Game) about how to be assertive around women.  If you have enough money for it, there are lots of intensive courses to learn to become a "pick-up artist" (PUA).
3) Take some marital arts training
4) Somehow or other, learn about "rough body play" and rough sex

You get the idea.  

I'll alert you, though, that in my own case, I have to "play act" at being dominant.  It's just not who I am.  I serve women and am very comfortable doing that.  You may be that way, too.  

Feel free to ask further questions.
