ORIGINAL: derfrewop Its because so many of the posters obviously don't actually do it. I have been in several long relationships and unless the sub is OCD about rituals and protocols, all that stuff falls to the wayside fairly quickly in any serious relationship. Its like the flowers and candy stage of romance, it eventually goes away and replaced by much deeper and more meaningful interactions. For the non-OCD subs, how long do you think it would take for all that stuff to fall by the wayside and why isn't protocol and ritual seen as deep, meaningful interactions? He and Alandra have been together for over 20 years and the protocol and enjoyment in the relationship has only increased. The three of us have been together for three years next week, and our relationship keeps getting better and yet we still follow most of the same protocols and rituals as when I first became his. It isn't about who is doing what... it is about who is fulfilled in what they are doing. If someone is not fulfilled in following certain protocols and rituals, then I can't see them maintaining it over a long period. If they are, then I can see them maintaining for a long time.
