Do you find your submissive slave struggles to stick to your rules? Do you find yourself punishing them more than you feel you really should have to?
It’s likely they are suffering from impulse control issues.
Impulse control issues can be caused by porn addiction which damages the part of the brain responsible for impulse control. This is linked to dopamine addiction, which can be an issue even if they do not indulge in porn.
Dopamine Addiction At The Core Of Most Addictions
Dopamine is a part of the brain’s reward system; each time you get a dose of dopamine, it makes you happy. However dopamine is addictive, and leads many people to seek out greater and greater amounts of dopamine.
Each time that person seeks out greater amounts of dopamine, they become less sensitive to dopamine, causing a spiral that makes them seek out more and more.
High levels of dopamine negatively alters the brain, and leads to a range of issues including poor impulse control. At this point the pleasure seeker struggles to make good choices, and fails to consider the negative consequences of their poor choices.
If your submissive is repeatedly making poor choices and struggling to control their behaviour and stick to your rules, dopamine is very likely to be a factor.
I’d suggest that most people are suffering from a dopamine addiction, due to modern society offering them affordable and easy access to so many things that can drive dopamine higher.
Dopamine can be found in social media, ultra processed foods, porn, alcohol and more.
Gain Control Of Your Submissive
Given that everyone has so much easy access to all of these, it’s no wonder everyone is out of control and seeking constant pleasure, no matter the consequences (failed relationships, obesity and more).
You can achieve better control over your submissive by getting a handle on their dopamine access, and restricting it so that they can over time improve their impulse control. After which they will be able to respond to smaller amounts of dopamine and still find pleasure.
New Rules For Your Submissive Slave:
Social media - Limit it to one hour per day at the most.
Food - Absolutely no ultra processed foods at all, and no sugar at all, including fruit. No excessive calorie consumption, even on healthy foods.
Porn - Zero porn, do not even look at an ankle.
Alcohol - Limit to 14 units per week at the most, not all at once. No dopamine highs must be allowed.
Online Messaging – Talking incessantly in things such as Snap, Whatsapp and SMS with various people, has the same effect on the brain as social media scrolling. This should also be limited, and included within their one hour of ‘social media time’.
Is This Regime Forever?
Well yes, it’s pretty much forever, healthy habits should be for life, not just for a short spell. This is not a ‘lifestyle diet’, it’s a lifestyle change. However the regime can relax a small amount, after a time.
At the start keep them on this precise regime for at least a full month.
During this time they will be bored and somewhat depressed, but this can be hugely alleviated by forcing them to take on a range of new hobbies that provide them with healthy sources of dopamine, which includes; time in nature, cooking, exercise, time with friends and family (face to face, not online).
Do not underestimate how important the new hobbies are, without these your endeavor will fail. These hobbies, are for life also.
After the month is up, you can increase some of these dopamine activities, but only very slightly, otherwise it won’t be long before they’re on a dopamine spiral again.
I recommend the following increases if desired:
Social Media/Online Messaging – Increase to two hours daily if desired.
Alcohol – Increase to 21 units if desired.
Porn – Allow once per month if desired.
Food – Allow a small amount of ultra processed foods (one item per week, not a binge, a small amount).
It may take more than a month for their dopamine receptors to reset to healthy levels, perhaps as much as six months.
However by taking these actions you will be on the right path and fostering the correct environment for not only a more obedient slave, but a happier slave who is not riddled with addictions.
