Let Me ask you something.
If you were meeting a Goddess, how would you prepare?
Would you rush out the door, unshowered, with last night's sweat clinging to your skin?
Would you forget to brush your teeth, clip your nails, or wash behind your ears?

Or would you get up earlier, and move slower? Shower with reverence? Choose your clothing with intention? Present yourself not just as clean, but devoted?

This is the difference between showing up, and showing up.

This Isn't Just About Hygiene. It's About Respect.
I can smell when you've had a cigarette with your morning coffee. I can tell you didn't floss. I notice the stray hairs, the dehydrated skin, the nervous sweat you tried to cover with a splash of cologne. And whilst I'm not here to shame you for being human, I am here to remind you that I am not just any Woman. You're not coming to Me like we are casual mates. You're coming to Me to submit. To be seen, undone, remade.

Wouldn't you want to arrive in a state that tells Me you're ready?

Your Preparation Is Your First Act of Devotion
Before we ever meet, I'm already reading you - your grooming speaks volumes.

The submissive who books a hotel with fresh robes laid out and chilled water waiting for Me? Already whetting My appetite.
The one who messages to ask for my preferred scent, or shaves because "I want every inch of me to feel Your grip"? He's made an impression before he even kneels at My feet.
And the one who shows up reeking of aftershave, unwashed, breath sour? Gone. Quietly. Painlessly. Blocked without a word.
I recognise effort. I notice intention. And I remember both.

The Ritual of Preparation
Write this down. Or better yet, engrave it in the part of you that aches to be useful.

Shower immediately before our time. Not in the morning. Not hours before. Right before. I want to feel the warmth still rising from your skin when I arrive.

Scrub your entire body. That includes behind the ears, neck and collarbone, between the toes, underarms, groin and backside. Every inch that might meet My touch. And every inch that might not.

Nails trimmed, filed and cleaned. No exceptions.

Floss and brush your teeth. Mouthwash is not a shortcut.

Trim and groom body hair. I don't demand bare - but I do expect deliberate maintenance. I don't want to see you've shaved in patches or left your backside a wild thicket. Tend your garden.

Deodorant, not cologne. If I want you scented, I'll scent you myself.

Dress in clean, breathable clothing. No sweaty gym kit, no last-night boxers. Come fresh.
Or don't come at all.

The Art of Anticipation
There are those who understand that preparation is seduction. A towel laid out. Mouthwash prepared. A note on the mirror. Grooming done a day before so they are not red or rashy. A light meal beforehand we commence, so they don't faint under My heel.
These details matter. They show Me you've been thinking about our time together. Planning for it.
Craving it enough to make it perfect.
Like the submissive who always gives Me a pedicure during foot worship. He understood that service isn't just about what happens in the moment, it's about creating the ritual that makes the moment sacred.

The Truth About Cleanliness
Dirt will never be rewareded or ignored. Sweaty, unkempt, frantic energy is not "raw masculinity." It's not what makes "a real man".
It's lazy.
I do not accept lazy.
I'll work with fear, awkwardness, even uncertainty. But I will not work with filth.
If you can't clean your body for Me, what else are you cutting corners on?
If you can't be bothered to prepare yourself for worship, why should I believe you're capable of true submission?
Your body is your offering. Make it worthy.

The Memory of Touch
I will remember how it felt to touch you - clean, open, ready. I'll remember the warmth of your freshly showered skin, the smoothness of your prepared body, the way you trembled not from neglect, but from pure anticipation.
That memory will make Me need to touch you again.

But I'll also remember the opposite. The disappointment of discovering you couldn't be bothered. The way My interest died the moment I realised you thought just showing up was enough.

Which memory would you rather leave Me with?

Make your preparation a ritual. Make your cleanliness an act of worship. Make your body the temple you're inviting Me to enter into.

And I will remember you as worthy.
