So… if, directly after sex, your Man rolls over, gives you rock hands and says “Party on, Garth!” -

Would you assume it meant good sex or bad sex?

Or would you suspiciously sniff the “water” glass on the bedside table?

TMI Tuesday

dw3xoj

I’m jumping on the TMI bandwagon for lack of anything more exciting to blog about. :-)

1. What do you think is the un-sexiest part of the body?
Assholes. Really. They’re just not pretty no-how.

2. Toilet paper: over, under, or what the hell are you talking about?

Over! For the love of God! O-V-E-R! If I’m at your house and it’s under – I’m changing it. It is THAT important to me.

3. Have you ever called in sick to stay in bed with a sexual partner?

Hee. Yeah. Me and Master can be naughty and immature like that. :D

4. Did your parents have a “birds & bees” talk with you? If so, at what age?

No. I was indoctrined to the ways of the birds and the bees before I could tie my own shoes. Probably, I could teach them a thing or two by now. ;-)

5. What is one thing a someone could do to you to rock your world?
Blah. I don’t know. My world is rocked pretty frequently anyway.

Bonus (as in optional):What does sex mean to you?

Orgasms. Pain. Sweat. Shower. Nap.

Not necessarily in that order.

Today is Am’s 16th birthday. She’s having a party this weekend (oh fun).

I really wanted to post a picture of her because she’s so beautiful but I ain’t even in the mood for the “omg! you posted a picture of your kid on a sex site! Bad mom! wah-wah-wah-wah!” type comments. But you can email me if you wanna. :D

~~*~~

You know how when you think you’ve gotten away with slacking, like you’ve done just enough that *maybe* it looks like you’ve still done everything you’re supposed to do and since men are meh-iffy sometimes on noticing these domestic things and so you feel a *little* bit guilty, a little bit relieved and just a little bit sneaky, too?

And then, just out of the blue, a couple days later, you surprise him with an unasked-for bowl of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup ice cream and he grins and says “Now, THIS makes up for everything you didn’t do last week, cunt.” and you just kind of stand there with that deer-in-headlights look.

You know?

So, off of the internet I go and busy with the chores I am.

Early Initiation

Posted with permission, snippets of a Fetlife member’s copied chat log.

Note: the “me” in the chat log is NOT me…lol. It’s her(JustTen on FL), but I am too lazy to go changing words and shit.

Personally, I thought this was a fascinating conversation.

Him: If you’re on my list there should be for two reasons:
Him: 1) you’re serious looking for a Dom
Him: 2) you have a history of abuse in your past
Him: Which one is it..?

Me: both in a way
Him: Good…
Me: why is that good?
Him: I like when a sub has a history of abuse..
Me: why is that?
Him: it turns her into a better servant..especially of she grew up to crave the sensations ( not the emotions) what was done to her before.
Me: interesting
Him: and truthful..
Me: i’d like you to elaborate. Prefering abused subs makes you seem a predator on broken women. Those who haven’t healed.
Him: a predator..or perhaps makes me a Dom who understands a woman who embraces the fact she has a need/urge to empower herself through something she now finds essential.

Him: replace the word abuse by “early initiation”and it changes the context completely.
Me: abuse is NOT early initiation.

Him: nonethless.. it change your mental/sexual roadmap completely.
Me: my roadmap was changed even before the abuse

Him: love and affection can only be shown nowadays through very distinct mechanisms

Him: love and affection then can only be shown through the dynamics of guidance, discipline and punishment. Wouldn’t that be true..?
Me: no, love and affection can be shown through many ways

Him: Which one of them is still inside your head when you lay at night and crave submission..?

JustTen posted and simply asked for our take on it. Agree, disagree, whatever.

The overwhelming majority of the replies to this were negative. This guy has been labelled a creep, a predator, dangerous, a perp, asshole, bastard, pathetic fuck – well, it’s an endless litany of insults really.

Naturally I don’t see it as they did. I rarely do. In the thread I said:

He’s not the one abusing these poor little girls. He’s not doing the “initiating”. He’s taking something that already happened and using it. I don’t see that as the horror it’s being portrayed as here.

Lots of people are abused. I was, too. It happens. Nobody can continue your (not you specifically, you generally) victim status except your own self.

At least this guy here is honest. He sees that there is a phenomena that happens with abuse “victims”, something within that appeals to him, or makes them “easier” to dom. (If anything, he just admitted he’s lazy.)

Big deal. I am sure that I exhibit behaviors leftover specifically from being abused that my Master uses to his advantage. Why shouldn’t he? He can’t change what happened, he can’t “fix” me, I am who and what I am and he loves me for it. He uses it. I’d be more pissed off if he treated me like a china doll (and, in my mind, perpetuated more abuse by doing so) because I was “damaged goods”. That he uses me, and my various leftover reactions, to his advantage proves to me that he doesn’t think I’m damaged.

If that guy were to have said he wanted to “fix” you, he’d be applauded. White Knight Syndrome. Whatever. But since his angle isn’t so altruistic, he’s suddenly dangerous? Come on. That seems a tad overreactive to me.

Not everybody is seeking the same thing from a bdsm relationship. Not everyone views it in such a romantic, “he always has my best interests in mind and he’s gonna fix me up all better!” sort of heart-shaped bubble way.

Personally, I rather like his take on it in some ways. I was abused right? Can’t go back in time and change a single second of it. Would I have been a kinky-fuck anyway? Probably. I think so.

So, if I believe I would have been kinky anyway, and this abuse happened, why not try to find the advantages of it rather than continuously lamenting over the shoulda /coulda/ woulda’s. Rather than remaining in poor-me territory.

This right here: “she grew up to crave the sensations ( not the emotions) what was done to her before.” and this: “makes me a Dom who understands a woman who embraces the fact she has a need/urge to empower herself through something she now finds essential.”

He isn’t saying that HE’S taking advantage of it – he’s saying that SHE is. That she SHOULD. It’s there, it happened, embrace it and make it healthy (as healthy as kink can be anyway). Use it instead of fighting it.

The sort of stuff I experienced when I was being abused are exactly the things I crave now, exactly what I find essential to my happiness and well-being. I am embracing, accepting, and seeking those things out. Not those same emotions though – which he identifies as being a no-no, I might add.

I may very well have been initiated early to accept and eroticize pain. To see love in discipline. If that has made Master’s life easier, then great. I’d rather my past make his life easier than harder.

~~*~~

There were a few people who shared my opinion, most did not.

Maybe I have an extremely detached view of having been abused, but I just don’t see the point in always looking back on it with anger and sadness and carrying that around and letting it affect my future. Yeah, it sucked but it happened. Nothing will ever change what happened so why not use it as much as one can to an advantage?

I just don’t *get* the idea that to do so is “repeating the trauma”.

So I asked the girl if I could copy and paste it here because I have brilliant readers. What do you think?

Is the term “early initiation” really as offensive as people said it was?

Do you think he’s “preying” on weak, broken women?

I really was shocked at the venom in the negative replies when I was sitting there thinking, hey! yeah! I get that.

LOL. I’m always out in left field somewhere I guess.

But discuss it with me, if you want. I’m interested!

“Why are people so tired on April 1st? Because they just finished a 31-day March”

(Even thought it’s not April 1st anymore, I am finished with the March questions! Hence the silly title.)

Do you mind telling us about what kind of abusive situations you’ve dealt with in the past. You mention “forced kissing” for example. It seems so many people into this lifestyle have had abuse in their past, so I am curious.

I was molested throughout most of my childhood (from age 4 or 5 (as memory serves me) to age 15) by my 4 older brothers. I was their experimental sex toy. The forced kissing was a particularly early favorite “game” they played. It seemed like I could distance myself, dissociate from everything except the kissing. The emotions were raw and right under the surface, in-your-face (no pun intended) during any kissing, but no so during the rest of the “stuff”.

And my first husband was less-than nice. Not a tyrant, but not pleasant either.

And so, your name is Tess? That’s a pretty name. :)

Thank you! Tess is a nickname, a variant of my birth name. Bonus points if you can guess it! ;)

In your opinion, what is the difference between a “regular” sub and a slave, aside from the obvious (being called a slave, entering into a contract)?

This is another one of those hot buttons that I am reluctant to get involved in. I’ve had *numerous* debates over semantics on this journal. Oy. Have I ever! But I’ll answer anyway. :P

For me it’s the difference between having control and not having control. Safewords, limits, dictating the when and where and the how. But it’s also individually defined within each relationship. There are some people who claim that you cannot be a slave if you so much as have a child or a job, let alone a safeword, because *anything* that has the potential to interfere with the Master’s control and direction negates the possibility of slavery. Other people say that no matter what the defined parameters, as long as the Master agrees (or allows) them, it’s M/s. If the Master tells the slave to keep and use a safeword or demands that she have a career, why is she any less of a slave than one who is at home, naked and chained 24/7? Isn’t it about what the Master wants, after all?

So really, there is no easy answer to that question. I’d be more inclined to say that there are watered-down versions of M/s the more interruptions and distractions that you add (kids, jobs, school, distance, friends, family) than to say that they aren’t M/s at all.

In some of your past entries you mentioned “cunt in a cage” is that something that your still thinking about ?

Yep. It’s still the plan. The Big Goal.

But you know, people change as they grow. The details of it are changing for both of us. As we evolve with each other and as we allow for that pesky thing called reality to interfere, we’re realizing that some of the original intentions may not be possible. Or even desired anymore. So we’ll see what happens when the time comes.

What would the life in the day of a “cunt in a cage” be like ?

The main goal of the cunt in a cage theory is mindset more than the actual physical acts involved. It’s about eliminating any other sources of interruption to my focus. At least, in as much as Master can control and dictate those interruptions. I will always be a mother, the kids aren’t going to disappear and I’m not going to be removed from their lives, but there will be some measure of controlling the interaction after they’ve become adults. No tv, no phone, no computer, no journal. Exposure to outside influences will be highly controlled. Less interruptions equals more focus. I’ll have one thing to focus on.

I can’t really answer day to day stuff because I don’t know. There will be a whole lot of caging (boxing or closeting) – isolation anyway. A lot more directed personal service. A lot less mouth (grins). *shrug* I dunno.

kaya, do you have a tack pantie ? and if so, “g’s”, does the lil masochist in you enjoy wearing it for the Sadist’s pleasure ?

No. And no.

and if the answer is no, would you like too ?

No!

I’ve avoided having to make one of these for years. Every time I think about it, I get this mental image of having to sit down and feeling each individual tack poking into my pink parts.. and I shudder and maintain that I cannot make one because I don’t have the supplies. And I don’t know how.

That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. ;)

I believe that the making of you into a ’non-independent woman’ was your Master’s choice and that he took deliberate steps to make it that way. So if you feel that he was attracted to you by your strength and independence, does the loss of that not change how you view yourself?

Well, to be clear I said that I was independent at the time and that he was attracted to me. I could have added “in spite of being independent, he found me attractive based on my masochism”, it was never meant to imply that he found me attractive *because of* that independence. His changing me into a non-independent woman has been turning me into what he wants, so no, it doesn’t change how I view myself.

You also seem to feel that your Master’s main attraction to you was your masochistic side. Therefore, if you’re not able to ’express’ that side of you on a regular basis, I’m guessing that you don’t feel ’attractive’ to him anymore. Although you say that you have a relationship built on love and that your marriage would outstrip any of the M/s stuff, I still think that you ’know’ deep down inside that the masochisim was what first attracted him to you and that without that, you feel like nothing else matters or works.

Indeed if I’m not able to indulge in that masochism, I begin to feel unattractive, unwanted. I begin to suspect all of those negative things. BUT, just because that initial attraction was based on one thing, doesn’t mean we’re still only attracted based on that one thing. Relationships begin on one thing and expand to include a bazillion more. So I don’t think it’s accurate to say that I think nothing else matters at all. In fact, it happens in some cases that what initially attracted a couple together becomes the one irritant that breaks them up. (As in, “when I first met him I was so attracted to his carefree, happy-go-lucky attitude, but now I just wish he’d get a real job and be serious about something for a change!”) I am absolutely confident when I say that without the M/s we’d find a comfortable and happy place in our marriage. It would be an adjustment, a relearning of roles, perhaps, but the M/s is not the sum total of who we are anymore.

What is the misery stick made of?

Carbon graphite. I think.

Did you make it?

No. But Master has the stuff so that I can.

If you made it, can you make my Master one and at what cost?

I’m not even sure I *can* make one. I’m even more sure that I don’t want to try. You know that every single attempt to get it right will have to be tested out on me, right? I’m (smartly) avoiding this for as long as possible.

If you didn’t make it, where did you purchase it and for how much.

Right here. For $9.95. Lemme know how that turns out for ya! :D (i’d really like to know how much business I’ve sent their way. Have any of you ordered one because of my frequent blatherings on how much I hate it?)

You’ve said before that you’re mouthy. Is it often?

Oh God yes.

Have you gotten it under control at all? I wouldn’t say it’s under control. I would say it’s *better*, but certainly not conquered.

What are some ways S punishes you for it? Clothespins on the tongue, nipple pinches, fucking blue stick, slap in the mouth, or just covering my mouth with his hand and not uncovering it until he’s figures I’ve gotten the message. And I don’t mean just touching his palm to my mouth, I mean face-squeezing, jaw-cramping, lip-bruising *holding*. And never forget, a gagged slave is not a mouthy slave. ;-)

And what seems to work best? I think what worked the best was when he would just start counting as I continued to shoot off at the mouth. He wouldn’t even say anything else. Just every time I would start to talk, he’d say “Five.”, then “Ten.”, then “Fifteen”. You start hearing that number climbing and you know what that number is representing and you find a way to shut the fuck up in a hurry.

How do you react when he’s… grumpy (for lack of a better word – or avoidance of ones I really want to use :P ) for seemingly no reason and it seems to be aimed at you? Or maybe you never experience that?

Oh Master has bad days, that’s for sure. I’d swear he has pms too but that would get me in trouble so shhh! Mostly, I don’t handle it well, other than to try and disappear somewhere real fast. I’m pretty quick to ask what the fuck crawled up his ass and died today, or some other such slave-like question. I’ll remind him that while he has every right to take his stress out on me, just because he CAN doesn’t mean he SHOULD, and should he like me to relieve his stress with a lovely blowjob I’d be happy to do so if only he’d shut up long enough for me to get started (and then smile, don’t forget the smile).

Otherwise, I’ve learned that responding in kind (blowing up at him just because he blew up at me) only escalates an already bad situation. Swallow, and swallow hard, and find something quiet but constructive to take your energy out on. Dishes, scouring, something physical that doesn’t allow for inactive stewing. Then breathe real, real deep, and repeat those infamous slave mantras(this is what I wanted. this is the life I chose. I am happy goddammit and I can DO THIS IF ONLY HE WASN’T SUCH AN ASSHO- *breathe breathe* this is what I wanted. I’m a happy slave. I’m a happy slave. I’m a happy-fucking-slave.) Yeah… ;-)

And speaking of a happy slave! *beams*

“There’s nothing that can help you understand your beliefs more than trying to explain them.”

The last of the March questions. While I don’t regret this month of Q&A, I am glad it’s over! ;)

I know you have that evil stick thing…but do you have one that has a ball on the end? Like here? http://www.swtchr2.com/evil_stick_family_tm.ht;)

Yes we do. And actually, the ball hurts less than the other one so naturally Master rarely uses it. :/

We see a lot of who you are through your blog but what is your everday life like?

My everyday life is pretty normal. I do normal housewife-type stuff, I wear normal clothes, I do normal yard work. It’s blessedly (and perhaps boringly) normal. I pay a little more attention to the details that I know Master cares about. Like what time dinner is to be on the table, whether I’ve gotten the journal post done (and whether or not it’s of the caliber he expects or has the pictures he wanted posted), if the house is clean.. it’s really not that I do anything differently than someone who isn’t in a power-exchange relationship, only that my motivation and consequences are (probably) different. It’s no longer “is the bathroom clean enough for me?” but “is the bathroom clean enough by Master’s standards?” (which are way higher than mine, I might add). And if something *isn’t* done and done right, the reason of “cuz I didn’t feel like it” doesn’t fly. I have to have a valid reason or face the consequences. I don’t get to have days where I decide I just don’t want to vacuum or don’t want to cook or want to procrastinate the errands. Though he allows me some amount of self-direction on chores and such, it’s within some pre-set parameters. For instance, I can do laundry as I feel like it as long as he never doesn’t have an article of clothing that he wants when he wants it. The first time he doesn’t have a clean towel to grab or a pair of clean spankies, my laundry freedom will be gone.

So I get up, make coffee before I leave, go to work for a couple hours, come home, take the dogs for a walk (at least a mile, generally two, weather allowing), usually get a post done (I’m jonesing for the computer by the time I get home. Srsly.). Then I spend the next 4 or 5 hours cleaning and doing laundry, taking care of the animals. About 3:30 to 4, the kids get home and I start dinner so it’s done by 5:30-ish, which is when Master gets home. I serve (and service him) as needed. We eat dinner together, watch a little tv, about 7-7:30pm the kids start homework and Master usually disappears into the other room while I do that. The kids and I chat over homework and tv until about 9pm when they start their showers and bedtime stuff. I do my own bedtime stuff and head to the bedroom at about 9:30 and do any other servicing that he’s wanting (back rubs, foot massages, blow jobs, sex, etc.) set my alarm for 4-freaking-30 in the morning and go to sleep. The End. Exciting, yeah? ;)

How do you deal with public interaction? Like if I saw you in public, how would you and your Master be acting?

We act like every other couple you see. We laugh, argue, pick at each other. Any of the D/s stuff (and I think that’s what you mean?) is pretty low-key. I don’t think anyone notices it, but maybe they do. He’s pretty good about keeping things subtle, and I don’t act up in public to make it an issue. There are some things, like, I don’t wander away without asking. I don’t eat or drink without asking. I make sure he’s served first. I don’t really know how to answer this. What we do is so habitual now that I just don’t notice it anymore. We’ve recently met several people in public, they could probably answer this question better than I can!

How often do y’all have sex, on average? From what we see here it sounds like every 5 seconds. :-P

lol.. I wish! I’d say it averages once a day. Sometimes we skip a day but then some days we do it 3 or 4 times. ;)

Here lately the make up sex has been phenomenal. I think we’re going to have to schedule in a monthly fight just so we can make up again. :D

Also, I’ve been wondering for awhile, what is your master like? I have a very vivid picture of your personality, obviously, but what kind of person is he? If we were to randomly meet and socialize for a bit, what kind of impression would he leave me with? If you can ever answer that, biased as you are. :)

That’s as hard as the last question! He’s… strong-willed. But polite, too. I’m trying to remember where we were not too long ago. Maybe it was at the play party last weekend? Anyway, I overheard him talking to one of the women there (submissive, had to be because I don’t think there are any dominant women at this particular party) and I heard him say “yes ma’am” a time or two in answer to questions. It just makes me smile to hear that because he’s very secure in his dominance and doesn’t need to blow smoke about it, you know?

I think his first impressions tend to be along the lines of “gee, you aren’t nearly as scary as kaya makes you out to be!”. He’s funny, personable, can talk to anyone about anything at any time. He’s a master of useless trivia about everything. *I* think he comes off as a little pushy, over-zealous, but maybe not. And maybe that’s just part and parcel of having a dominant personality, too. He’s the total opposite of me (I think).

Have you ever refused to do something your master wanted you to? Or is there even anything he’s mentioned that you’d refuse to do?

Oh yes. Sometimes I’ve looked at him like he just grew a second head and told him he was flat out fucking crazy if he thought I’d do that. Sometimes he laughs along with me, other times he cocks that eyebrow, and gives me that low, gravelly, “Now” command and I do it. Or attempt to. Because when that eyebrow goes is not the time to discuss his sanity. At least, not if I want to have any skin left on my body.

Occasionally, those kinds of commands aren’t necessarily things he *wants* me to do so much as he’s testing the depths of my willingness to do it. For instance, he might be sitting on the toilet having just defecated and call me in there, tell me to get on my knees and lick his asshole clean. And, as you can imagine, I balk pretty loudly. Cuz, um, ew. Sometimes he’ll laugh and shut the door and go about his own wiping. Sometimes he’ll snap and point at the floor at his feet and I shut up and get the fuck into position. *Willing* to start licking (gag). So far, when it comes to orders of that nature, he’ll stop before it actually gets to the nitty gritty, sometimes he pushes it far enough that I’m convinced he isn’t going to stop *this time*. Some day, one of these times, he won’t stop. And I know it.

Hm. Maybe that doesn’t exactly qualify as a refusal then.

Um.. I had deciding vote over the kids so there were times when I would refuse to do it his way, but I don’t guess you’re really asking about the kids, huh?

I don’t think I’ve ever not at least tried. Surprisingly, or not, what I balk at the hardest is silly stupid stuff. Like, having to ask a stranger a question. I literally almost bawled at this last party because he was insistent that I ask the host a question and I could not do it. I’m strange that way. Social phobias or some such shit.

Jesus. I am not braining well today. I can’t *think*.

I know you’ve said you’re open with your doctor about your lifestyle. Are you open with all your doctors about your lifestyle? Would you tell a specialist who you saw who didn’t see any marks/have any reason particularly to ask?

No. Absolutely not. I’m only open to my gp because he’s likely to see things or have questions. And, due to insurance changes, I’ve had to change gp’s twice this year so that sucked. But, true to what I’ve always said, neither doctor so much as raised a brow at what I said, or acted shocked, or showed even the slightest hint of disapproval, not even upon viewing the scars on my breasts. But as far as telling someone who didn’t need to know, no. Only if asked, and even then, if it wasn’t pertinent to the job at hand I’d be pretty stingy with my information.

Has you Master ever slipped and called you cunt in front of other people?

Not exactly. He’s started to but he always catches himself. Not that all of the recoveries are very successful, but he does try! He’ll start to say it, realize what he’s saying and who’s listening and go “Cunnnn-uty pie!” Makes me laugh. :D

where did the name Kaya come from?

It evolved from a chat room where I had to register a nick in order to chat. I wanted to have just the letter “k”, which came from that book “The Girl in the Box”. k was her slave name, which was a theory he took from the Story of O. Anyway, the chat room register wouldn’t accept a single letter as a nick so I tried to lengthen it to “kay” but that was already registered so I stuck an ’a’ on the end of it. At the time, I didn’t even know ’kaya’ was a word. It was, to me, a nonsensical collection of letters. The first I heard that it had a meaning was some several months later when I was asked if I was using used kaya to indicate that I’m a pot-smoker. (which I am not, btw. Never have been). Since then though, I have seen and heard it used as a name quite often.

Well I thought I could get through the rest of the questions today but I’m way, way out of time. Tomorrow then. :-)

Seriously?

Okay. Y’all are kinda freakin’ me out with the whole woman-president thing.

PMS is a funny thing for women, don’tcha think? It’s okay, cool even in some female circles, to use it as a license to be a raving bitch once a month, up until someone points out that pms is the cause of being a bitch, at which point the voices rise up and get all defensive about NOT having pms.

Whatever. I realize not ALL women have pms. But pms affects *enough* women that it’s commonly known around the globe to be a very real syndrome with very real consequences to women’s lives.

Do I really think pms is the sole reason not to have a female president? No. Not entirely. Being a pms sufferer I *do* give it a more than a passing thought, but being that I’m not entirely ignorant, I accept that it’s not a valid reason on it’s own.

I also give thought to the fact that women, in some cultures, are not seen as equals. I do give thought to some cultures not recognizing a female president of the US as having power, I can imagine that woman not being taken seriously or given the respect that a president would need when dealing with foreign countries. But again, I also know that other countries have had female leaders and it’s been fine.

So those are two things that give me reason to hesitate with a resounding woman’s lib cry of YES! GIRL POWER!

But my main reason for not wanting a woman president is pretty simple, and entirely personal and completely based upon my own opinion, how I see the world, and more importantly, my ingrained belief in male superiority.

I’m not one of those submissive females who is subservient and also a feminist. At least, not a hardcore feminist. Nor am I submissive because I think all women should be submissive, or because the bible said so, or because I think women are weak and/or stupid.

But I DO see men as powerful. I am subservient to men in general because they represent - *to me* – superiority. Strength. Control. Power.

I do NOT see women in that light. I never have. I’m a firm believer in the old-fashioned way of doing things, of having the man be the head of the household and the little wifey quietly behind him. It’s my opinion that men are leaders and women, largely, are not.

Which is not to say that women *can’t* be. But you asked my opinion on something, and I’m giving it. In MY mind, in my world, women are not dominant, men are. Women are not powerful, men are. Women are not authority figures, men are. So would *I* want a woman as the president?

No. I would not.

Enquiring minds want to know!

Do you ever have/long for tenderness and “making love” or is your desire for sex to have it always be rough and combined with elements of pain?

My desire for sex *always* is to have it with elements of pain or domination. Sometimes it has to be nothing more complicated than an order to keep my hands above my head and not move them, or to keep my legs spread far enough that they don’t touch him. Sometimes it’s simple nipple twisting/tweaking. It doesn’t have to be an elaborate bondage/s&m mix (though that is my preference of course!). But it’s not always Master’s preference. Sometimes he just wants to fuck without having to make it good for me. But even that is “torture” in it’s own right. ;-)

Also, how do you and Master show your love/affection for one another when not in the bedroom?

Master is very affectionate in your typical vanilla fashion. He’s quite touchy-feely, is always hugging and kissing, we never walk or drive anywhere together without holding hands. He’s a cuddler, too. We lay in bed with his arm around me, or his legs over mine. That kind of affectionate attention took a while for me to get used to. It’s nothing I’ve ever had before in a relationship, nor did I think I wanted it. But I did and now I’m just as affectionate as he is.

If your Master was to decide he no longer wished to continue the S&M part of your relationship, would you want to seek out another Master or would you be able to be content with a “vanilla” relationship?

That’s a pretty common question and one that my answer changes to depending on my current mood. Or, depending on how deep the itch is.

I do not think I would be content with a vanilla relationship. Needing the sort of interactions that we have isn’t a hobby or a weekend interest of mine. It’s part of who I am, not just my sexuality. So to say that I could be happy, or satisfied, by not having it.. I just can’t imagine that.

What I CAN imagine is not having it because he no longer wants it or because he is no longer able to provide it, and putting my own wants and needs aside in order to further HIS happiness. If he were suddenly struck ill or injured and was *unable* to be the sadist and Master that he is now, I’d still be his wife and his slave, it just wouldn’t be expressed in the physical ways that it is currently. If he no longer wanted to do this.. nothing changes the fact that our roots are in the fact that we’re married, raising a family and *want* to be together regardless of our current activities.

Whether or not I’d find another who could fulfill those s&m needs would really depend on what Master wanted. I’d not leave him, even if he chose not to be my Master anymore. If he’d allow some playtime on the side, then maybe I’d go that route. I don’t see him being okay with that though. He’s a tad possessive!

1. Do you call your Master, Master in front of your kids?

No. I call him Baby..lol. Almost always, without fail, he’s my Baby. I *rarely* use his given name as that seems far too intimate or personal (weird that, isn’t it?). On the occasion that I would normally be required to use Master or Sir, I can either mouth it over the kid’s heads or I’ll substitute Dear (as in “Yes Dear” for “Yes Sir”) which is what he’s told me to say when they are listening. We both know what I mean so it works.

2. If you were offered 100,000. dollars to give up S/m, M/s lifestyle for a year and live a totally vanilla life, would you/could you do it?

For a year? For a hundred grand? Hell yes! I lived my first 30 years without it, I think I could go another year! I’d be a bear to live with though..lol

3. Have you been to any M/s gatherings where you were on display for a large group,…anything like that?

Yes, a couple in the last 6 months. Master’s not shy when it comes to stripping me down at all. I might be mortified(!) but he’s not.

5. Is your current Master the only Master you’ve had?

Yes.

6. Favorite Dessert?

Chocolate. Anything chocolate.

7. Favorite American Idol winner?

Mostly I think the world is way wrong when it comes to the winners. Even though I hate country music, Carrie is the only winner I actually liked.

8. Do you think a woman should be president?

No. PMS would start WWIII. I know this because I start it once a month in my own house, but luckily I dont have access to nuclear weapons.

9. Do you enjoy anal sex ( enjoy the act itself, not the “submission to it)

Nope. I *used* to but the man I was with then had a tiny penis which is, I’ve decided, the key to actually enjoying the act of anal sex. Master does not have a tiny penis so every single episode of anal sex is painful, all the time, the whole time, from start to finish, no matter what, the end. And I *can* enjoy the pain but only until I orgasm which always happens too soon (because it hurts and the pain and the sex combined makes me shoot off like a champagne cork), way sooner than he is ready to come and then it just hurts after that. So.. um.. no.

10. When asked what’s the most sexually humiliating thing your Master has ever had you do, what’s the first thing that comes to mind.

I *really* don’t like it when he spreads me open and examines me like a bug under a microscope. Or, when he makes my pussy lips or asshole “talk”. WTF is *that* all about? Is it a guy thing? It’s fucking embarrassing already.

I’ve seen you mention the name Tess twice recently. I’ve been reading your blog for about a year, and I’ve never seen any mention of your real name, only his. Why isn’t it a big secret anymore?

I don’t think it ever was a secret. Hell, my email address that I had posted for contact info has my name in it (up until I recently changed my email to here). I’m not sure why I’ve used my name in a post twice. *shrug* Maybe I’m distancing myself from “cunt”? Boy, Master won’t like to read that!

Were you in a Master/slave dynamic when your children were young? How did you manage to bring them up in a D/s household, yet still keep them far far away from it? i am a slave and have a 3 year old son. Although Master and i have decided not to move in with each other, (to “protect” my son from BDSM- neither of us believe that we should tell him who to be) i am rather curious as to how it can be done. How can you show your Master that you are His without bringing attention to it? How do you get away from the kids (when they are smaller)to do scenes and such? i suppose what i am really asking is how do you keep the dynamic strong while keeping it hidden?

I was not in an M/s relationship when my kids were young. Master and I have been together for just 4 years and my kids are 16, 15 and 13. So I can’t quite answer your question.

However, I will say this though. What I think is that what kids are raised with seems normal to them. For instance, to see you behave in a subordinate role with your Master would not seem odd or strange to a child who has seen it that way all his life. So I don’t see why there should be any worry. Unless you mean to be naked and in chains 24 hours a day, I can’t see that you’re going to psychologically scar your child. After all, in most M/s households, we interact in almost identical ways to an old-fashioned marriage where the man was the Head of the Household (think Leave it to Beaver) and I don’t think all of the kids of that era are messed up, are they?

Even having seen me change from an independent and in control single parent to a submissive wife, my kids are still psychologically sound. I don’t feel like I’m molding my children’s future or choices in life simply because I choose to be submissive in my marriage. They can still base their choices on their own desires. I’m not sure what it is that you have to “protect” your son from? Nor do I see how what you do would define who he is or will be.

It can be done because you simply use common sense and you separate your fantasy from reality. I have a very specific fantasy of how I’d like to be treated and how I’d prefer to behave as a slave for Master. But I can’t do 99% of it because reality dictates that I cannot do that in front of my children. I have to be dressed, but I do not have to wear underclothes. They have no idea if I’m wearing underwear or a bra or a bra full of tacks or a metal scrunchy stuffed into my pussy, or a rope wound tightly through my slit, abrading me with each step. How could they know? I don’t strip in front of them. We have code words that mean absolutely nothing to them, but mean worlds to us. And a whole lot of service can be disguised as simple favors for the one you love. You put locks on doors and you teach manners and privacy. What goes on behind my closed bedroom door is nobody’s business (well, except for all of YOU GUYS..lol)

How does a child know that you cannot sit on the furniture unless you specifically state it? If you just say that you want to sit on the floor or that you are more comfortable on the floor, it’s only you that knows the real reason and because of that you think everyone else will know too. But they don’t, nor do they even really care where you sit.

The everyday interactions are easy to do no matter who is watching. Slipping away to do a scene is more difficult, but it’s not the scenes that define M/s in my mind anyway. Do it after the kid goes to bed, do it when the kid is at Grandmas, get a babysitter and go rent a hotel for a few hours. It can be done, you just have to make it work. Maybe someone else who reads here with small children will step in and answer this, too. Good luck! :-)

What are your thoughts about abuse survivors and BDSM or D/s play? Maybe not a nice topic, but one I’ve been mulling in my head for a while now…

My thoughts are pretty straightforward these days, though they didn’t used to be. First, I don’t think there are more abuse survivors involved in bdsm, as some people do. I think there are a lot of abuse survivors period, in all walks of life. But I do think that we tend to talk about it more. I think we tend to talk about all manners of private and intimate subjects and since abuse and bdsm are closely related, past histories of abuse are mentioned more freely. So maybe that makes it seem like bdsm’ers are mostly comprised of abuse survivors. *shrug*

I’ve long since given up trying to figure out if I would have been drawn to bdsm regardless of my history. It’s something I’ll never know. It’s also something that just doesn’t matter.

I do think it’s important that everyone examine their “whys”. I think you should know yourself and your reasons, to the best that you can know anyway. I do think it is possible to further someone’s abuse if that person, or the person in charge, isn’t aware of what’s going on in their head. I do think some people may gravitate towards bdsm as a way of trying to “control” abuse. If their thinking is something along the lines of “well, it appears that in my life I’m going to be abused in some fashion but at least bdsm offers me a way to be abused in a semi-controlled setting” but that person has no actual interest in power exchange or s&m, then I’d wonder if this is the healthiest choice for them. But if that is their choice and their reason and it works for them? More power to ya!

Everyone (most everyone) has a chosen manner of dealing with the hand life dealt them. BDSM seems to be an easy target for people who don’t do it to point the finger at as the “sick and twisted” choice. Other people drink 6 glasses of wine at night, or max out a credit card while watching the Home Shopping Network. Maybe they dip into the weed or snort the powders. Skip to the doctor’s for a bottle of valium. Why do some people *need* dinner and wining and dining and need to hear “I love you” before sex? Why is that considered the norm, and how “normal” is it anyway?

I do not hear that someone in bdsm has a past history of abuse automatically think “uh-oh, now I have to question their motives”. I know more people who had an idyllic childhood who are into bdsm. I do not think an abuse survivor who is into bdsm is continuing to be abused. Actually being in a healthy bdsm relationship can be very healing for an abuse survivor because bdsm requires so much communication and trust and intimacy that could otherwise be ignored in a vanilla relationship. BDSM almost forces someone to deal with their demons, as opposed to sweeping them under the rug. It can be exactly the medicine one needs to move beyond an abusive past.

Which leads me right into the next question..lol

If it is not too much to ask, why do you have difficulty kissing your Master?

Specifically because of my abusive past. Which seems quite at odds with what I’ve just said, eh?

I think I’m about as healed as I’m going to be from my past. I’m leaps and bounds from where I started. But, nothing is a cure-all and nothing will heal everything. And for me, kissing is, so far, beyond fixing.

Of all the things that happened to me in my formative years, the forced kissing was the worst, by far. I don’t know why that was worse than anything else, why my mind hangs on to that in such fiercely negative ways. It clearly was not the most painful, nor the most violating, nor the scariest. Kissing hardly ever makes the list of “abusive” practices. Why not the punching, why not the painful penetrations or the gang-style sexual marathons. Why not the sharing, the teasing, the interrupted nights, the pinches, the blood, the shame and humiliation? Why was I able to extract the negativity surrounding those things to find the erotic, stimulating aspect that I so enjoy now and I *can’t* do that with being kissed?

I dunno. I simply do not know. What I DO know is that kissing will send me into panic attack, flashback territory. It’s gotten worse, and not better. It’s nothing that he does and has nothing to do with him. But because he loves me and is not interested in furthering the abuse, he’s worked with me on it and we’ve developed a way that works for the both of us. Which may be as good as it’s ever going to be.

Unless I missed one, I have no more questions. Now what will I post!?!??

Be the first to like.

“Curiosity killed the cat – but satisfaction brought it back.

1) Have you ever “ridden a horse”? Not a live one, the wooden one that tries to split your cunt open.

I have! It’s one of those things that I love to hate. I have pictures of it posted somewhere in the archives (someday I *will* go back and tag all the entries. Someday. When I have about 8 hours to spare. ;) ). I even made a new, shinier, better one a few months ago and it’s been stuck in the corner, never used, ever since. But now that you’ve so graciously reminded Master that it’s there with this wonderful question, I am *sure* that will be rectified soon! Thank you so much! :P

2) Do you engage in water play (submersion, forced hosing, etc.)?

Not yet, although it’s something he’s mentioned more than once. I expect that it’ll happen sometime. I’m not sure how I feel about it either. It’s not really the same feeling as the choking/smothering thing we do now I’ll bet. Adding in my water phobia, it could be pretty intense.

3) How does your doctor deal with your lifestyle? I can’t imagine that the “Owned Slave” scars go unnoticed during a breast exam, let alone the welts from a great night of whipping et al. It wold be nice to know that the medical community has open minded individuals who understand the difference between abuse and “aggressive” sexual play.

They do, actually. All it takes is honest, up front communication. Doctors know what s&m is, and while they may raise their eyebrows at some of the more intense forms of things, as long as you present yourself as a well-informed, consenting and confident individual, they don’t make an issue out of it. I’ve never gotten anything worse than simple curiosity from a medical professional (though I have wondered what they talk about in the break room sometimes!).

In fact, I was just at the doc’s yesterday afternoon for a pap, breast exam and general physical. I’m still sporting the healing marks from the recent whipping and there was no noticeable change in his demeanor as he examined me. Now we did hold off redoing the breast cuttings knowing this appt. was coming up. While the scars are there and still visible, there is no reason to have had it fresh and healing. Neither of us see any point in “flaunting” what we do, you know? (and there is one person I know who will be happy to hear that I had my tetanus shot updated too!) (Funny how I cringe and get all nervous when the nurse
approaches me with a needle, but when it’s Master, I’m practically salivating at the thought of being poked!).

4) You asked if anyone has stolen play ideas from you. Do you worry that a novice may get in over her head doing so?

Meh. Not really, not anymore. I’m nobody’s guidance counselor. I expect people to do their own research, to know their own body, know their partner. And as I like to say- stupid should hurt. :D

5) Have you stolen play ideas from other blogs (such as DL’s Toy)?

Oh all the time. All the time. I will often read something or see a picture and tell Master about it. At that point, if he’s interested in it, it’s filed away in his head and then when he wants to do it, he’ll modify it to suit his wants and needs. I don’t know that I’ve ever taken something *exactly* as I read it/saw it because we aren’t exactly like the people I read. Sometimes he takes whatever it is and makes it worse, sometimes he makes it lighter, sometimes it’s just the starting point for something entirely different. I have zero qualms about being a copy cat; I read some pretty interesting folks!

6) What’s your top five favorite movies of all time? and 7) What do you think are the five best movies of all time? (feel free to up the number on this and the previous if five is too small)

I’m combining these two because for me, it’s one and the same. My favorites ARE the best. :)

I Am Legend.

Breakfast Club

E.T.

Men in Black I and II

Girl, Interrupted

Beaches

War of the Worlds

Terms of Endearment

About a Boy

Schindler’s List

Se7en

Catch Me if You Can

American History X

The Count of Monte Cristo

8. Who’s your top five favotite authors (you can’t name me unless you actually go read my stuff on stories on line ;) )

Stephen King (his earlier stuff. His newer stuff is… meh.. so-so.)

Dean Koontz (I like teh horror)

John Grishom (Skipping Christmas, movie and book are awesome.)

J.K. Rowling (even though I didn’t read all the H.P books, I think what she writes, judging by the success with both children and adults, is pretty impressive)

Nicholas Sparks

9) What’s your top five favorite books of all time?

The Shining and The Stand -well hell, I’d have a whole list of Stephen King books.

The Girl in the Box

The Girl Next Door (quite disturbing, that book)

The Deep End of the Ocean

The Twilight Series

The DaVinci Code

Gone With the Wind

The Left Behind series (I started reading this years ago and got to the 6th or 7th book which was the newest publication at the time. In waiting for the newer books, I lost interest in it. Seems like when there is too long between books I forget the details and can’t be bothered anymore. But maybe now that it’s finished (I think. Is it?) I’ll start over and read the whole set.)

It’s hard for me to pick favorites. It’s just like trying to pick that favorite scene; I think the current one is the best until I get to the next one, you know?

10) Do you ever play monopoly, and if you do, who usually wins?

I haven’t played monopoly in years, since I was a kid and played with my siblings. I can tell you that I lost then. Every single time. Monopoly stressed me out, man. It’s so much pressure! All those decisions and risky chances… whew. Made me sweat. We usually play Mad Gab, or Scene It as a family. I play Chess with B-man, he’s even beat me a time or two.

The End! :D

The questions are diamonds you hold in the light. Study a lifetime and you see different colors from the same jewel.”

If your Master didn’t like your kids and decided they should go live somewhere else without you, could you live with that decision? could you give up the kids for Him?

That’s a HARD question. Boy, go right for the jugular! ;)

I guess there are two schools of thought here. One would be the automatic slave answer (and I imagine a computer generated voice, like when you try to call the cable company) which would be “I would do whatever Master wished me to do.” The thing about that answer is there is no thinking behind it. It’s the standard answer that the slave gives to everything, right?

Then there is the proper mother answer that goes “HELL NO! I’d never give my kids up for a man, Master or no Master!”

I’m stuck somewhere in the middle of those two answers. Lord knows I love my kids more than anything. I’ve worked and sacrificed and struggled to give them what they need, and some of what they want. I worry about their future, I lament about their past, mistakes play over and over in my mind and I’m constantly questioning myself on whether or not I’m “doing it right”. Exactly like most every other parent in the world.

But I also remember being alone. I also know what an amazing connection I have with him. The idea of losing that is… devastating. So sometimes, in my darkest heart, when I ask myself, ’what if’- what if he, for some reason, made it a choice. Him or the kids? *sigh*

I guess it would depend a whole lot on the reason. If there was no reason, if it were something as ridiculous as being tired of the inconvenience or whatever, that ultimatum would color my opinion of him so badly that there would be no real choice to make. Of course I’d leave him and stay with my kids. I signed on with them for 18+ years and I’m prepared for 18+ years.

But. If there was a legitimate reason? Say one of my kids went psycho and Master was afraid for his life. Or, if one became a drug addict and we were putting up with them stealing from us, drugs in the house, wild parties. Or any other reason that made that sort of request a reasonable thing to consider, then yes, I’d probably choose Master over my child.

Since you and your master have a foot difference in height, I was wondering whether this ever caused any problems in any regard? Does this preclude any sort of positions or other general bodily arrangements or lead to preferences for others? My girlfriend and I are in a similar situation.

The only thing that is difficult to impossible is trying to fuck standing up. Especially in the shower. We do manage it, but it’s an exercise in speed-fucking. He has to squat and I have to tiptoe as high as I can, and our old muscles get to quaking pretty quickly. And, like the one commenter said, kissing while fucking in missionary position is awkward, but not impossible. In fact, he is often nibbling and sucking on my nipples during missionary sex, though how he contorts himself in that manner is beyond me.

Mostly though, I find his size to be a benefit. Not only does he make me feel tiny and weak (and therefore more submissive) simply by hugging me or holding my hand, it’s handy to have a tall man around the house! I can’t reach anything on the top shelves or things in the way back of the cupboards! Plus, he’s the perfect height for fucking me on the edge of our bed (me lying, him standing) and when we walk, my hand aligns perfectly with his crotch to cop a feel (though I did have to learn to stop swinging my arms when I walk *snicker*), When I kneel in front of him, it’s like kneeling before a God. He towers over me, peers down at me.. *swoon*, it makes me feel so small and insignificant, plus, that’s good dick sucking position too. I can kneel and he can be standing and it’s great alignment for penis to mouth. ;)

Do you still have difficulty kissing your master? How does he react to this?

I do. I think it’s just something I’m always going to have. One of those childhood gifts that keeps on giving. He’s accepted it, frankly. He no longer takes it personally and he’s stopped doing it in the manner that triggers me wrong.

I can kiss, and I can enjoy it, it just has to be done in a certain way. It can’t be a sneak attack, I have to know it’s coming. I have to have just a second to set my mind right. So he simply tells me “I’m going to kiss you now.” I know that sounds so incredibly UNromantic, but it’s really not if it’s done right. Like, I’m fine with pecking so we’ll be doing that, and he’ll just sort of murmur that he’s going to kiss me now. It’s not so bad.

It also has to be somewhat short. No marathon french kiss, or I’ll literally think I’m suffocating and dying. I forget how to breathe when I’m being kissed. Strange.

I’m sure he wishes it didn’t have to be like that, but what are ya gonna do? *shrug*

Go on and pry! March is question-and-answer month!
