Wow...just absolute wow. Maybe people didn't eat enough turkey yesterday, huh? I've heard it makes you mellow and sleepy. Guess not.. There's enough judgment floating around on this thread to potentially end aquaintance-ships over and that's pretty shocking, don'tcha think? This is a topic that is going to generate a wide range of views and everyone's thoughts on where they stand on the issue should be respected. If candy/pink considers her brand of monogamy to be something that is exemplary, meaningful, requiring of more dedication, etc., then it is. FOR HER. Allow her to embrace it and learn her truth on her own, her way. Candy is obviously new to the journey of D/s and BDSM. She's in research mode, hoping to experience all of this in real time. I can remember being exactly where she is, as I'm sure the rest of you do. I can remember thinking one thing and changing that entirely down the road as I grew in my submission and experienced this firsthand. lol.. I can also remember the occasional "authority" or experienced BDSM "old-timer" telling me that I was hardly submissive and was better off claiming to be a dominant. Yeah, right. So much for all of that wisdom, knowledge, and BDSM-guru crap. No one knows what the hell someone is or should be -- that's absolute bullshit. We all find that out for ourselves through this wonderful journey we are on and I hope to hell that everyone will allow this lady to travel hers and find out for herself. Offer support, compassion, and tolerance along the road if possible and try and remember the early days of your own submission/dominance. Judgment that degrades and harms like what we're witnessing on this thread just sucks and it's really unnecessary. Submissive women, especially submissive women new to real time are notorious for setting limits, claiming exceedingly strict boundaries, and attempting to control like hell what's going to happen in their beginning toward real time relationships. Candy's a D/s peach that hasn't been tasted, who is going to require a patient, extremely dominant type of man. He'll be a natural dominant and blow right through her protestations. She's learning her way and we need to support that -- not condemn. Monogamy/poly... whatever one embraces is "high" for them. The topic really isn't worthy of some of the hateful exchanges witnessed here. Maybe try some ham since turkey dinner didn't work for some of ya'll, huh guys? candy, I suggest you blow off the negative, snipey responses and try and forget. I'm sure there are several who will desire to completely forget this blown out of proportion "debate" within a few days. If not, they're taking themselves and this "lifestyle" way too damn seriously. -hugs- mischie
