ORIGINAL: wisteriaV For those of us that live this lifechoice of M/s or D/s real time, can you be too real in the life choices you have made? Yes. If one or both partners is seriously dysfunctional, unhealthy or unable to function in a way that detracts from the quality of their life as a result of obsessive sexual, fetish or D/s behavior, that's "too real". If you're harming or nonconensually involving other people in pursuit of your kink, especially if those people are um's, that's definitely "too real". Basically if you're doing nothing in your life but D/s activity to the detriment of your health, your dependent family or your household's ability to pay the bills, that's likely to be a problem. If you're perfectly happy, healthy and functional in a long term owner/slave situation, even if it's extreme or involves heavy play, that doesn't automatically qualify as "too real" or "too much" no matter what other people think. Any activity that is causing serious problems in the rest of your life, or that is pursued to the detriment of the rest of your life, can be dysfunctional. That is true whether the activity is playing video games, living in a D/s relationship or even just washing your hands. The ultimate test is really whether you and your partner feel that you are happy and healthy in the relationship, and your household is functional in the real world.
