The other thing I maybe should've made clear was the aversion to sex in the forums wasn't really what was troubling me. I understand why that is -- totally. It was more the idea that someone whose kink is related to eroticism is less genuine than one who extends his kink outside the bedroom. I saw the aversion to sex/arousal discussions in the forum as more of a symptom of that than the actual problem. I don't think anyone whose interest in BDSM is primarily sexual is any less genuine. You put into your lifestyle what you want to get out of it. Aspects of power exchange lifestyles are difficult for some people to translate out of the bedroom. My Luvdragon has been my wife for years, as equal partners. Now, of our own choice, we are not {quite} equals, but she is also my submissive and I am her Dominant. Relearning roles is not easy by any stretch of the imagination for either of us, but it is rewarding and definitely worth the effort. For some, though, when the passion of the 'kinky sex' dies down, when you wake up in the morning, being who you were while tied up or flogging someone just doesn't work for you. Whether you are a sub or not, I wouldn't recommend looking for something that just ain't quite there. Recognize that all you want is to play, and play. Then go on with your life. Anything more doesn't give you any satisfaction to yourself, and you owe it to your Dominant to let them know that you can't go any further, whether it be in a scene, or how you want your relationship to progress. To respond to your comment about aversion being a symptom rather than a problem, I don't think so. As you progress in a relationship with someone, the feelings that give you pleasure takes different forms. What once was an excitement by using a flogger is now having your sub remember your favorite drink and making sure that it's ready for you, without you asking. In addition, I think a lot of people here have been with partners for such a while that discussing their sexual aspects on the forum aren't quite as erotic or appealing as it was at first when they began their exploration into WIITWD. A healthy discussion about how to arouse, how to be aroused though, would be a welcome addition to the board though, for those that need and desire it.
