ORIGINAL: dmc68 just curious how many here make it a 24/7 part of their life. I suppose I do not understand the question as it relates to the topic. So to answer: - The topic, "IS BDSM more than sexual to you?" : The *acts* of BDSM are rarely sexual to me... wax play, flogging, single-tail, etc etc ... I am so focused on my partner that I don't have room to think about sex (unless it's a special partner, we are in private, and we're both naked... then things have just sorta' popped up.. eh-hem). But under general circumstances, I do not at all mind the lack of a sexual response because that focus (that pushes the sexual response away) is itself one of the turnons for me, along with the non-verbal communications going on. I am told that I am odd, being able to seperate the two, but it's always been like that for me and I prefer having my focus on my partner and not my own sexual drive (this has been referred to as "thinking with your brains and not your glands"). I guess it's as if I am thinking surgically (especially with the single-tail). I prefer it, feel more in control (part of the turn-on) and feel safer that way. If we are in a bondage situation that is also a sexual situation, well yeah: the two go nicely together - The statement "just curious how many here make it a 24/7 part of their life." When my partner was living with me 24/7, the D/s dynamic was underneath everything. That doesn't mean that she was "Always nake/cuffs and collar only" (which is noted as an option in the "Interests" section of our profiles - oh please...), just that the understanding of who-was-who was always there. We still talked, listened to music, walked the dog, watched DVDs while eating popcorn ... all those little vanilla things that normal people do. So in that aspect, it was a large part of our lives.
