superbabe - Your boyfriend may not have gotten the hint because he may not want to. Not everybody is into that. As for me, I love spanking, hair pulling and otherwise dominating so when a chick starts to drop hints, I'm all up for testing the waters. If you don't have any experience with this sort of thing, there's only one thing to remember. Set up a safe word that, when said, will stop all the action immediately. Something stupid you're not likely to say during sex, like "dictionary" (unless you want to be spanked by a dictionary, but you get the drift).
I love a woman that really gets off on being submissive. But with power, comes responsibility.
