| 7 Oct 10 | Strange... (2) | (8 Oct 10, 7:40 AM by Amber_Light) |
| I'm constantly puzzled by profiles of people who say they are submissive through and through, want a relationship, and then say that they aren't seeking 24/7. I ask myself “how can this be”? How can one be in a D/s relationship that isn't 24/7? [more...] | ||
| 22 Aug 10 | I love you... (9) | (23 Aug 10, 10:46 PM by relaxed1) |
| I was reading a thread about the declaration of love during sex, and it reminded me of something that has perhaps been to my detriment – the random declaration of 'love'. [more...] | ||
| 10 Aug 10 | Discipline (2) | (12 Aug 10, 3:49 PM by chelsea) |
| Although this was written as a religious poem, I think it works on another level. With the substitution of 'God' (as I would always seek to do anyway) for 'dominant' or 'master', it takes on a whole different slant. [more...] | ||
| 5 Aug 10 | Communication failure (3) | (6 Aug 10, 8:34 PM by relaxed1) |
| I have always know the hazards of online communication. The lack of other information that is available when talking face to face, or even on the phone, makes online communication unsatisfactory, but it serves a purpose. [more...] | ||
| 13 Jul 10 | Adored... (8) | (17 Jul 10, 7:19 PM by relaxed1) |
| I was browsing through some profiles and amongst all the pleas for this person or that person to be left alone by “the mad, bad and sad”, I got to thinking. What is it that I want, more than anything else? And is it the same thing that all these other poor wretches want, hidden beneath their varied wish-lists of this, that and the other? [more...] | ||

| 1 Jun 10 | Epiphany (3) | (2 Jun 10, 12:17 AM by Manson) |
| I have been mulling over, again, the ending of previous relationships. As I think I have written before, I have tortured myself to try to understand the reasons behind these, not least because I want to avoid repeating any mistakes. [more...] | ||
| 2 May 10 | Three cheers for people who know nothing... (3) | (4 May 10, 1:25 PM by Manson) |

| 15 Apr 10 | The first time… | (15 Apr 10, 8:45 PM by relaxed1) |
| This was prompted by a very sweet memo I received from @mini_velvet, following my posting on the thread on The first time you saw him/her. [more...] | ||
| 13 Apr 10 | Why oh why oh why... (1) | (14 Apr 10, 5:08 PM by lushvelvet) |

| 28 Mar 10 | The importance of being me (4) | (29 Mar 10, 4:57 PM by stormywaters) |
| I used to compare myself to others, feeling that the descriptions given of experiences were somehow aspirational, something to be achieved or repeated. Then it occurred to me that this is just silly. I can no more be a carbon copy of someone else than walk on water. And in any case, why would I wish to? [more...] | ||
| 20 Mar 10 | Navel gazing | (20 Mar 10, 11:11 PM by relaxed1) |
| I have always enjoyed the lifelong learning that is to be found from listening to others. It is often, in my experience at least, a painful process, not least because it frequently turns one's preconceptions on their head and leads to much soul-searching. But it is an unavoidable process; the belief that we can achieve a certain level of knowledge and that is sufficient is so flawed as to be risible. [more...] | ||
| 28 Feb 10 | Wants, needs and desires (2) | (7 Mar 10, 7:45 PM by newbie38) |
| I have recently learned a lesson. It was interesting, painful, and somewhat disquieting – at my age, with my intelligence and life experience. It is all too easy to think that we know so much, much harder to accept that we know so little. [more...] | ||

| 10 Feb 10 | What is love? (4) | (12 Feb 10, 8:48 PM by totallycoverme) |
| I was watching "Meet Joe Black" for the nth time, and was struck by this quotation. As it's close to Valentine's Day, I thought I'd share it. [more...] | ||
| 9 Feb 10 | Well, it's a start. (2) | (7 Mar 10, 7:36 PM by newbie38) |
| I felt like writing a blog. There seemed to be a number of things whirling round in my head, some of them difficult, most of them straightforward. But I remembered to advice I have been given by two friends, one of whom is the subject of one or two of the whirling things. So, nothing self-indulgent, nothing self-deprecating, nothing this, nothing that. Everything becomes so tricky. It is a wonder that I manage even basic motor functions. [more...] | ||
| 24 Jan 10 | The simple life? (1) | (24 Jan 10, 5:52 PM by chelsea) |
| I used to think that life was, or could be, or should be, oh so simple. [more...] | ||
| 5 Jan 10 | Co-dependency (1) | (5 Jan 10, 10:25 PM by jules9) |
| A recent thread set me thinking, not least of all about the lack of understanding of what co-dependency actually means. Perhaps that is behind some of the comments rejecting it as 'bollocks'. [more...] | ||
| 4 Jan 10 | The joy of 'Alpha' threads (10) | (4 Jan 10, 7:14 PM by CookieMonster) |
| I love these threads, not so much for their educative or discursive content, but more for the manner in which they seem to encourage disclosure that is entirely tangential to the point. [more...] | ||
| 26 Dec 09 | Home alone? (1) | (26 Dec 09, 1:10 PM by little_temptress) |
| This blog set me thinking about my own situation. [more...] | ||
