I said I do not participate.

"The myth of the all...Very well put I think. <br /><br />"The myth of the all powerful never faltering perfect Dominant..." Yeah. I guess it goes with the myth of the perfectly submissive sub. It's very hard sometimes when they can't be dominant, and they really can't be all the time. They get sick, they get tired. They have an off day. And nature abhors a vaccuum and something happens to fill it, but it can be damn hard to recover from that and to get back to where you all want the relationship to be, to where the balance point is. <br /><br />I love your reference to putting the best face on things and Lake Wobegon effect. Where all the women are strong and the men are good looking and the children above average. Yeah we all do that a bit. <br /><br />I'm glad to see you writing again Swan. <br /><br />sinsinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00082648132476803815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18440943.post-18663428664674506972011-02-07T09:31:05.275-05:002011-02-07T09:31:05.275-05:00I'm not in the life, either, but I suspect lov...I'm not in the life, either, but I suspect loving and serving him means many things that you each understand and that are not always each day spoken aloud. That you will always act in his best interests, and that he will not permanently harm you. What happens when either of you fail, on purpose or by misunderstanding? What happens if he is at risk, but is ill and cannot see it? Is the other required to stand by and do nothing? <br />Or is doing something fulfilling that obligation even if it seems to be breaking the usual rules? I'm sure you will be figuring that out for a long time, but in the long run only you and He can decide that.Impish1noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18440943.post-70621465548372984132011-02-07T09:13:16.676-05:002011-02-07T09:13:16.676-05:00"usurp" hmmmm
if a Dominant had been ha..."usurp" hmmmm<br /><br />if a Dominant had been having a heart attack and in a panic was unwilling to seek medical care, would you, as a submissive, calling an ambulance being usurping His power in your consensual sexual & relationship dynamic? <br /><br />at what point is an addict fully able and at what point is an addict not fully able to bring consensual?<br /><br />at what point do the dangers of addiction dysfunction override the authority of one lost in said dysfunction?<br /><br />what obligation do ANY of us have to step in and protect someone from addiction or poor choices or endangering themselves or endangering others? to whom are we obliged in those instances? <br /><br />i believe Sue and T did exactly the best they could in a very difficult situation. Only the 3 of them live in and know the wholeness of their situation. i am happy to cheer love and deeper understanding of ourselves on, whatever shape it takes.wandering travelernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18440943.post-52873905606766429182011-02-06T22:37:32.025-05:002011-02-06T22:37:32.025-05:00"He is exactly who He is with me and with T.&..."He is exactly who He is with me and with T."<br />In a very simplistic way, this sentence sums up one of the things I love most about BDSM--the ability/freedom to be exactly who you are.<br />Nicely put.Stormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12613795542678253943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18440943.post-56521849145150289022011-02-06T22:32:40.072-05:002011-02-06T22:32:40.072-05:00I love the sentence...."it is not so much an ...I love the sentence...."it is not so much an exchange, as a dynamic".
