I see a Domme about 10 times a year. Right now I have something lined up in the middle of May but that involves work travel being back.
I miss the anticipation and prep. Making sure nothing interferes. Anticipating drive time. Excitement in getting my body prepared.
Guessing this applies to subs and Dommes.
It will be back. Hopefully soon.

I completely agree. A Mistress I served lived in Vegas and traveled to NYC maybe once a year. I’d see her in Vegas or NYC maybe twice a year for five years. I’d do more workouts, make my own “Tarzan” thong and email & speak to the Mistress about what we might do. She always said quietly when I asked too many questions, “Anticipation, pet. Anticipation is the key.”

Wise woman. She was absolutely correct.

I have had sessions where the anticipation had its own form of subspace that in some ways was more intense than that of the session itself.

Agree. I find that long distance Dommes are so overpowering.....the anticipation, the build -up to the physical encounter....and there is so much opportunity to generate exhilaration with a Domme who is adept at remote control before the final in-person contact where they whither your entire being and dominate you to the point where you are a worthless husk of a human being! Hurrah, salvation!

The only thing I miss more than the anticipation is the actual encounter/session itself. My sessions are usually scheduled many weeks in advance so that leaves quite a bit of time for anticipation. Then, as you stated, there’s the preparation beforehand and then finally the actual drive over. It’s a three hour drive for me and when I have to make it for work, I hate it but when I’m driving it for a session, it serves to fuel the anticipation and excitement! Yeah ... I totally miss it!!

I'm missing the intimacy and the look in the eyes I get when a sub goes into a deep subspace

Very nice thought. And from my submale pov, it's the pleasure of experiencing my mistress' topspace. I always aim my service to her to give her this pleasure.

Even Winnie the Pooh said "what is sweeter than honey? The anticipation of honey".

Smonehow, this sounds like a euthemism for something...
