My answers for the following

Submissive Positions
* Which submissive positions appeal to you and why? Which ones do you find to be the most utilitarian?

The position kneel appeals to my submissive side but I can't keep it for more than 10 minutes without hurting my knees. I also like standing position with hands behind back/head and legs spread. This is a very good display position, makes me feel submissive and humbled. It is also a good utilitarian position as it leaves one vulnerable with boobs and pussy exposed for torments etc.

* What are some ways in which you incorporate submissive positions in your D/s dynamic? (everyday, casual play, combined with other kinks etc)

I am currently not in any dynamic but will share my prior experience

When I was subbing for someone, I was introduced to these positions and my dominant seeing how much I liked it designed something called "submissive contemplation time" where I would assume a subby position with a tit torment for 10-30 minutes regularly and the duration and torment varied based on how I fared in other control areas within the dynamic. I really loved it as it put me in subby zone.

As a Domme, I used the concept of contemplation time with the sub but modified based on my purpose and their suitability and made my sub do half an hour of submissive contemplation time once a week, the position/torment and restriction details of which were given weekly.

I find this system to be very effective in an online long distance format as it has several advantages
1) gives opportunity to a sub to reflect on submission and developments in the D/s during the week
2) enables exploring favourite torments weekly (sometimes we like simple dares eg. pegs on nipples which we feel the urge to do weekly and sometimes it is more enjoyable to do a simple repetitive dare than a creative variant)
3) instantly puts the sub in subby state and enhances submission
4) reminds them of their submission and helps keep in touch with their subby side in weeks of sporadic contact due to irl

* Have you ever given or received position training? If yes, please share your experience.

never given or received position training in its pure sense but in some modified ways which have been already discussed above

* Is position training relevant or just boring protocol? How frequently should it be given, if at all?

I feel it depends on the dynamic. I do not know if it is even practical to be implemented in a 24x7 dynamic, however it definitely works fine in an online dynamic when implemented periodically (not everyday, neither very occasionally)

Objectification
* Have you ever endured objectification in the context of kinks? What was your experience?

Currently I cannot recall any memorable objectification task that I have done to have a lasting impact.. might have done smaller dares involving some elements though

* What are the different types of objectification play that you are familiar with?

I feel any play that devoids us of our human qualities is objectification. So in my view, petplay, bimbofication (thought of as a mere object of lust), forniphilia (human furniture) are all types of objectification play.

* Any ideas that you want to share about objectification tasks you have given out or have in mind? Any specific safety tips or other things to be considered?

I haven't given any full fledged objectification tasks in D/s. Yes sometimes in forum games I might have given smaller tasks with relevant precautions. I have definitely read blog entries of reports of some very intense objectification tasks done by other gD members. Reading those made me feel these elaborate tasks do involve carefully considering a lot of aspects related to safety etc

Both
* What precautions do you generally take while ordering submissive positions or objectification tasks or carrying them out? (like physical and endurance capabilities, duration of the task, mental state of the sub)

As a sub myself, all I would do is be completely honest if I am unable to hold positions for longer or facing any other issues in doing the task and trust their judgement.

As domme I would consider all of the ones mentioned above like endurance, flexibility, duration, mental state do design the task suitably for the sub. Many of these positions like kneeling and standing with hands behind head sound easy but are difficult for many to hold for longer durations of time.

* Do these tasks induce any intense feelings or emotions in you? What kind? Does it depend on who is receiving/giving them or any other conditions?

In a D/s, both giving and receiving such tasks make me feel dominant and in charge/humbled and owned as a sub respectively. It enhances bonding. Outside D/s if I give, they are generally a lighter variant that are just like giving a random dare for me without inducing any strong feelings

* What kind of aftercare do you need to give/receive after these tasks to return to the normal state of mind?

I feel some communication after the task like sharing the task experience enhances the overall experience, followed by some lighter talk to make sure they are fine.

* Are you comfortable in giving/receiving dares based on these kinks outside of a committed D/s or is a Dominant or submissive mindset a prerequisite?

No, I generally can't do subby positions randomly for someone outside D/s. While giving dares I can give some variants just as creative dares outside the D/s but then I do not have a dominant mindset with the dare receiver like I would have with someone subbing for me in a D/s.

Just to add, the underlying idea behind my thread Nina's Easter Egg Challenge was to spread awareness about this kink in gD!
