What makes you...

Where did you get your "education" from?

I am a mother to an amazing almost 11 year old (step)son. And as he is his fathers son, I am begging to panic over puberty. I suppose if I weren't busy fretting being a mum, it would be an interesting thing to observe. I dont know if he is going to develop an interest in bdsm and frankly, I would be perfectly happy to never know, but its already crystal clear he is going to be a Dominant. He is perfectionist, has to excel at everything, he is always perfectly behaved when with me (though I have my suspicions about when he is away at school, lol), has already learned how to keep control of himself and to a large extent of his emotions (another thing I fret about) and he simply has that protective streak and air about him. As every mother, I imagine, I want my boy to grow up to be a good, honorable and self assured man, but I also want him to be someone who respects women and knows a value of special one. Someone here mentioned having read Gor series at approximately that age, so I was thinking if I should get him those for his birthday? Or is that too weird? (I haven't read them.)

Another thing I noticed is that a large number of masters has knowledge of martial arts? Makes me wonder, has he taken up kenjutsu to practice his strokes for bdsm or is he using my butt to practice his kenjutsu aim?
While I am perfectly happy to practice at the level sufficient to beat the crap out of jerks who presume to touch something that is not theirs and where it serves as credible explanation that "mummy and daddy were just wrestling", lol, He takes it very seriously, to Him its a way of life.
He has been teaching the boy savate and kenjutsu since before he could walk, lol. As a birthday present He is planning to gift him with his first real katana (authentic nihontō) and has been stepping up his training.
Yes, this long intro, my apologies, actually has a point. We have a large house and the room that looks towards back garden has been converted to dojo. So Friday I was going into the house from the garden, I wasn't eavesdropping, when I heard them talking. My husband was teaching him that "Bushido is the way of the dominant one" and how each of the principles effects the way one perceives his own dominance. He was talking about more than just martial arts code of honor. I'm still deciding how I feel about that.
Has anyone had similar experience?
And to keep up with the thread theme, clearly part of it is genetics. Its also interesting how "abuse support" thread has been placed in Submissive's, does that mean all Doms come from perfect nuclear families with no issues?
