Behavior Modification

Bull, it doesn't sound like you are looking for anything out of the ordinary when it comes to a d/s relationship that goes beyond the dungeon or bedroom. The advice to be a sub first with a good dom isn't too bad especially if you have never done either role before. Especially strong male type A personalities often are subs. However, many have not considered it because of their day to day lives. The opposite can also be true as well when it comes to more introverted personalities being good doms. Don't really assume much when heading into kink. The most docile pencil pusher could be the dom that you are looking for or the policeman/ part time amateur mma fighter could be your next sub. There is a lot of depth and breadth when it comes to this world of bdsm. Interview as many people as you can, head to parties, dungeons, etc. and then got a super solid idea of what fits if anything. I have met many who have had terrible experiences because they jumped into things to quickly, attempted scenes with people who didn't understand things, and who failed to communicate well. Good luck.

@msmolly yeah I know what you mean about not wanting to be told what to do. I am a little bit the same. I’m a natural leader normally but I can be pushed and molded with a sexual spin on things. I enjoy the emotional and psychological side more than the physical even. I feel like it would be a pretty interesting experiment lol. Of course there would have to be consent. I guess I kind of picture it as saying “this is what my goals are” and then someone helps you reach those goals. I’m a motivated person but get bored easily lol

Ehhhh. I don't like being told what to do and in any case am completely self-motivating, but now have a ticklish foot in spite of not actually being ticklish, because someone decided I should, so it could work. I also think the blanket permission from agreeing to a D/s relationship is sufficient consent, so long as this is something the sub wants. Then extrinsic punishments and rewards would be great motivators.

I guess I’m talking more from a motivation standpoint. Say you were a little out of shape and wanted to get in shape, but on your own you’d do ok for a bit, then you’d get sidetracked or whatever and quit. I’m talking about if someone were in control of your workout routine and made sure it was being done to their liking. So possibly they’d use punishments if you missed a day of workout or they’d use rewards if you’d reached a goal.

"normal life scenarios such as diet, exercise, work, personal discipline related things" Can you please be more specific as to what you mean by "behavior modification"

To me, this sounds like a D/s or M/s relationship. Generally, these are things agreed upon before/during a relationship. If its something like an exercise regime or discipline, choosing to do those things due to a partner's will is more submission than anything else.
Behavior modification would be more along the lines of conditioning or hypnosis.
Conditioning being repeating an action so often that it becomes natural to do, but again, if its making someone do something they don't want, they need to submit (consent) to the process. Hypnosis is a means to modify behavior but the bottom needs to consent to what is being done.

I’m just curious if anyone on here has any experience with behavior modification. I do not but would love to learn more about it. I’m not really talking about “call me sir” kind of things but more normal life scenarios such as diet, exercise, work, personal discipline related things.
