ORIGINAL: Mercnbeth Like you, we also enjoy, lifestyle and non-lifestyle conversation, TV and other distractions. But I don't see this as "realistic 24/7". We identify ourselves as 24/7 because we maintain the TPE relationship 24/7. Whether I'm with beth or not, she exists and behaves under the rules I set for her. We are the same way - even though our boy is on the road most of the week (his boss changed who they haul for, so yay! he's home every weekend now). He calls us before buying anything other than food that costs more than a few dollars (even though he knows that we aren't likely to object), he tells us where he's at, he calls us every night (or gets online, but that's more difficult), etc. He knows, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, that we are in charge of him, that we own him. It's not what most people think of though - we have "vanilla" activities that we enjoy, like walking the dog, hiking in the park, going to movies, etc - and we have jobs (well, 2 of us do *grumbles about stupid assholes who fire people without knowing the whole story*) and we have friends who don't know that we are into the lifestyle ... but we think about it, it influences every decision we make (i.e. so and so doesn't know/doesn't like that we are in the lifestyle, and we are feeling particularly 'lifestylish' so we won't hang out with them that day, something looks like it would make a great toy with very little alteration, so we put it in our cart with the groceries, etc. - little things - every day). We have lives to live, bills to pay, animals to take care of, a house to upkeep, etc ... but we always have the D/s dynamics in the back of our minds.
