Andalusite -> RE: Mentors........watch your step! (3/25/2010 7:12:38 PM)

poeticfreak, I've never used any of those terms, but I don't engage in BDSM with all of my friends routinely. [;)] At that time, I had recently had a breakup, and didn't want to have sex, or date, and did want to explore and learn. Since those specific couple of people were helping me figure things out and try new things repeatedly, I think they were functioning the way mentors *should*. DarkSteven, we didn't have any relationship structure - we'd sometimes hang out and get a bite to eat or go do other vanilla things together, but it was not intense, or nearly as time-consuming as an actual relationship. I'm not sure what went on in your mentoring situation, but it sounds quite different from my experience.
