An intellect that he knew going in it was a risk, and that he just might wind up getting a knee to the balls if he followed his instinct and was wrong.Īs Intellectual Animals we must strike a balance, a harmony between those two aspects of the Primal Self. An instinct that tells the Alpha of the Primal needing someone to take a big risk to step up and to take them, a risk she respected and submitted to. It comes down to both instinct AND intellect. I have known some Primals that needed to literally be beaten down in order to submit – but in this case there was a lot conversation leading into it, and when it came time for the fight both parties agreed, verbally, that was the purpose and point of the scene. Another needed someone to take physical control, take a big risk, and to be physically imposing. She can respect skill were she sees it, and acknowledge an “Alpha of their trade,” and submit to knowledge and skill. As one expressed, she needs to recognize a superior in skill within a common areas of interest to garner respect – and I’ll go a step further and assume that this doesn’t have to be a sexual thing. In earning the respect of a potential mate, that’s all dependent upon what that Primal needs to see in the Alpha. While not all Alphas are Doms and not all Doms are Alphas (and I would say the latter is more common than the former), both should know the cues – verbal and nonverbal – that a (play)mate or sub will express meaning, “okay, this is going well, I’m trusting you Fucker, don’t make this a trauma we’ll both regret, go slow” or “I said no, I meant no, this is your final warning before you go any farther into this, lose my respect and this becomes rape.” A good Dom might respect those boundaries while attempting to push them. A good Alpha knows his beta/gamma/omega knows their scent, knows their nonverbal cues, and knows their wants – both those to be explored and those to be left alone. One must use words to discuss, as Intellectual Animals, the limitations and boundaries one has or needs respected. Unless we live with certain disorders or syndromes, we have a natural understanding of body language and nonverbal responses – but these often do not cut it when it comes to a sensitive subject as consent, albeit they might be enough to signify submission. Intellectual Animals’ reactive responses, like to scream when in pain or in fear, to laugh when amused, to moan when experiencing pleasure, or to cry when experiencing a multitude of sensations and emotions – these are usually hardwired in us. Though the nuances of communication can be a learned trait among wild animals, most of the basics are instinctive.

Wild animals don’t need to be taught how to walk, or how to eat, or how to fuck – We, as humans, do. As the Intellectual Animal, we’re at a disadvantage. These signals are not something taught, they’re just known. In the wild we have instinctive signals, like when a female elk gives consent before being mounted by the male she twist her head and neck back and licks her own back.
