Greetings!

May i first say that i am not quite sure what you mean by "training". Sounds a little like you are going to college or something. Forgive the slightly flippant sound of that statement. It's not meant to sound that way.

My take is this: firstly we are (mostly) born either Dominant or submissive. We may not know it, but somewhere along the line something flicks the switch inside us and "bingo!"; we're outed, as it were. Once done we ask ourselves why we ever hid or denied it.

As far as satisfying a partner, why not ask them? they will know their body, and needs better than anyone else, and if you have taken the right steps as a Dominant, and asked them to complete a play partner checklist, as well as done one for yourself, so that you can compare the two, and carefully listened to what they had to say, you will likely have a good idea of what makes them tick anyway.

You mention "basic guidelines"? In regards as "how to act" (I think thats the question). Act however you feel is right. Do not try to be something you are not, because it will not be the real you. Be yourself.

Make sure that whatever you do, is Safe, Sane and Consensual and within such limits as may have been declared (ahh the checklists rears it's head again)
