Skeptical slave – psychology experiment results
After I released the Skeptical Slave recording, I waited and waited… and waited for any sort of feedback and/or emails showing what the people did for Me. As many of you know, the recording was a psychological experiment, and I’m sure many assumed the experiment was about obedience, but it wasn’t. The true experiment was to see who would email Me their drawings afterwards and had nothing to do with obedience whatsoever. It was about seeing who was willing to follow through with optional requests, knowing it would please Me. How’s that for figuring people out?
Hundreds of people purchased it, but not a single person followed through by sending Me the optional email afterwards… until tonight. One person emailed Me their drawing.
And the slave did not spell My name right. Twice. **bangs head against the wall**
So the psychological experiment has showed Me this so far:
1) If I briefly mention that it will please Me if they follow an optional instruction, then little to no one will do it. (This was within “Skeptical Slave“) I received one letter.
2) If I give people a direct command to email Me and say it will make Me happy, then people are more inclined to do it. (This was within “Cocoon Submission“) Thousands of people emailed Me simply because it was a direct command.
3) If the optional command requires any sort of effort on their parts (such as putting a drawing on a scanner), then they disregard it and think it’s not worth pleasing their Goddess.
Why do you think that is?
I know subs like to hear direct commands, but I assumed the part about Me being happy would come into factor in both situations. I guess not. Maybe it’s not so much about making Me happy – as it is them feeling they had no choice in the matter. I’m not so sure I like slaves with that mentality. The slaves that receive My attention and earn My favor are ones who put My feelings and My desires above their own. I shouldn’t have to “require” something. I should simply say, “It would please Me if you did this…” That only goes to show that whoever listened to “Cocoon Submission” and wrote emails complimenting Me (a requirement) would probably never have written them if I hadn’t commanded it – which is sad. Apparently most of My clients who call themselves “slaves” really aren’t. Although they do what they’re told, most appear to have absolutely no desire to genuinely please Me.
Kind of like when I throw free stuff in My journal without people knowing it – hundreds of people showed up to get a free recording, complimenting Me on My weight loss, when most of them really could give a shit. Most (but not all) just wanted a freebie – the ones who didn’t want anything were either non-customers or past-customers who just happen to read My journal. I suppose I expected that, but being a psychology major – I’m always digging into issues deeper than I should. I want to know why people act the way they do and although I haven’t reached a definitive conclusion – at least with My small sampling of customers, I’d say very few (less than 5 people out of over 10,000) probably have the ability to be real life slaves. And that doesn’t necessarily mean they’re worthy of being a slave to ME – but possibly being a slave to ANYONE, period.
I really want to be proven wrong on this one.
Love

P.S. Only two people (that I’m aware of) are actually participating in the 7-day Slave Training I posted earlier in My journal. It’s funny how many of My customers beg and beg and beg to be My real life slave, beg to be in My brainwashing cage, beg to serve at My feet, beg to be feminized, beg to meet Me in person and be a slave – yet when I tell people what I want or request or desire, then very few people think it’s worth it. And people wonder why I’m so picky. Now you know. I’m looking for people who are WILLING to be TRAINED and actually go through with My detailed, and at times outlandish, requirements. Otherwise, what’s the point of asking to be My slave? I’m searching for someone who puts Me first (above their pain, above their desires, above everything – even to the point of sacrificing their own comfort and time).

Why would a your slaves do anything ‘optional’? I understood your slaves are mindless robots to be programmed. You tell them what to do and they do it. They aren’t supposed to have the free will to make decisions, just follow orders. Like you tell them to.

Maybe your looking for a worshiper and not a slave.

It’s kind of like asking the difference between: “It would please Me if you knelt on your knees.” – or said, “Get down on your knees.”
Both outcomes are the same, they’re just said differently. The slaves I’ve had in real time follow both. The slaves online seem to only follow the latter.

I’m actually looking for a slave, a worshipper, a robot, a toy, and a puppet.
Perhaps what I’m searching for doesn’t exist, but I’m searching anyway.

It is extremely rare to find someone who will put you before them. And this is the only kind of “slave” that I want in My life. A slave to MY desires. Not a slave that will perform to My requirements for selfish reasons even though it may appear that he is doing a selfless act.
Im not sure it is possible for people, especially male submissives to be truly selfless, and even less possible for them to be this way online with a woman they have never met in person.
This is why I have taken down My website for the time being. I am going through a Feminine Awakening and trying to find a new identity without the influence of patriarchy and its not easy because everything I have ever thought of Myself as a woman has been rooted in patriarchal beliefs because that is all we as a society have known for more than 2000 years.
But, when I find My way and I live truly in My Feminine person, things will change and it will benefit everyone, not just me.
I have been doing a lot of research on feminine subjects from femdom to feminism to positive thinking to creating wealth studies and things are starting to come together. My puzzle is starting to form a picture.

Why do you think that people listen or watch your stuff for your benefit?
The truth is 80%-90% of people listen or watch for their own entertainment.
When you released the *cocoon* recording, it was free. I think people felt that they “owed” you for getting something for free, so they sent you feedback. But *skeptical slave* cost money. I doubt as many people even downloaded it, and those that did felt they had no “obligation” to you, thus the lack of feedback.

that could very well be…

aahh, so I’m not alone in the search for the impossible!
Good luck in your Feminine Awakening, I’m sure it must be quite an eye-opening experience!

That really is the difference between someone who wants to please you and someone who wants to satisfy themselves.
I’m not a slave and honestly as much as I wish I could, I can’t be that. Once upon a time I was a slave and I loved it. In fact, many of those personality traits do remain. I do desire to please others, especially those I develop any sort of affection for.
Honestly, I missed the whole Skeptical Slave thing. I think I might have overlooked it because I’m not a skeptic. I believe wholeheartedly that hypnosis works and if I allowed myself, I’d easily surrender. Now I wish I’d payed more attention … I would have done it. lol

I “stumbled” across your LJ, and I just have to say I find this really interesting~ I really like knowing why people do what they do, what drives them, and whatnot so I really enjoy reading journal entries like this. I also have to say that that the experiment you conducted is pretty neat, though, the results are pretty sad.
You’d think if people really wanted to submit, they would have done the optional things. But I guess that’s where the word optional comes in, if they don’t have to, why bother? Though, it’s a huge contradiction to the submissive side of Skeptical Slave.
Also, is it alright if I add you? You seem interesting~

sure you can add me as a friend – glad you found this interesting… I’m almost tempted to do some more experiments similar to this just to see how people do what they do lol

Yay, thanks~ But yeah, I think it would be neat if you tried to do some more experiments like this one, people are fascinating

I am surprised by the results. I would have thought that more people would have been happy to please You just because they know it will please You.
Perhaps my thinking is a bit off, but it seems to me that the desire to please You should come from within oneself. Don’t get me wrong, a command should be followed immediately. But just knowing that something is pleasing to a beautiful and extraordinary lady such as You should bring on an enthusiastic attitude to do the task at hand.
It is kind of like people that go to work because they have to or just for the money. There out put and input is limited, but a less experienced worker with an inner desire to contribute to success will prove to be the better worker.
I guess I am surprised by the results because after just purchasing one recording and listening to some of the samples and free recordings, I can say that I very much have a desire to please You. More of a loving desire to please, not just an obey desire. Hopefully that didn’t sound too corny.
Anyways, I found Your journal and I am looking forward to reading more.
Sincerely Yours,
Steve
