Most vanilla hetro women do not fit that category either. No more than a scene oriented, kinky woman lives her scene stuff 24/7.

If you think this is how all women who are not into "bdsm" live their lives you've been watching too much Dr. Phil. Maybe try to get out and date more? Meet more people in real life?? I get really annoyed when people think that all "vanilla" consists of this. <shakes head again>

Because all vanilla women have "mommy haircuts, sensible shoes and conventional, infrequent sex". It never fails to amaze me how poorly kink-folk think of vanilla-folk and then they wonder why kinky folk aren't received better. Vanilla does not mean boring or unsexy. Just as kinky does not mean insane and dangerous.

I get really annoyed when people think that all "vanilla" consists of this. <shakes head again> Agreed. The whole vanilla is worse mentality is just ridiculous. I've been perfectly content with vanilla relationships with wonderful men. Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses, we are not special because of kink. If that's what makes you happy Nehemiah, go for it. I think you can have your cake and eat it too though, if you are selective about the cake.

Nehemiah -> RE: When to leave the scene (7/30/2010 2:06:10 PM)
I am one of those who lets things get out of control. When I was working, I would sometimes work 84 to 112 hours a week and I loved it. When I was dating and involved in non-kink sex, I was dating and having sex with multiple partners (I am poly, so they all knew each other), and now that I'm involved in kink, it seems like the numbers of women I'm involved with is getting a little out of control. I don't think I'm a workaholic or sexaholic. I don't feel a need to work 112 hours a week any longer. And I'm not sexually involved as I used to be, unless kink is considered sex. I think maybe I just have a personality that tends to make me overindulge. I need to learn to control that feeling of jumping into things full-force and pushing myself as I do. That's why I was thinking if I go for a traditional life, working 40 hours a week, raising a family and traditional lifestyle that it might curb my overindulgence tendency.

laurell3 -> RE: When to leave the scene (7/30/2010 2:10:48 PM)
I think the key is learning not to overindulge. Won't you just find something else to use as your focus if you leave the lifestyle?

LaTigresse -> RE: When to leave the scene (7/30/2010 2:11:39 PM)
I would suggest a nice long trial of living, what you consider, a traditional life........BEFORE you commit yourself to raising a family.

Until you decide that the yard, surrounded by a single white picket fence, is not enough. Then you go crazy decorating the interior with a myriad of white picket fences, facing all different sorts of directions, generating shapes. Jeff

Leave the scene before the cops can surround the building, or before the SWAT van comes, it gets real fuckin ugly after that, trust me.

CreativeDominant -> RE: When to leave the scene (7/30/2010 3:04:01 PM)
quote: ORIGINAL: Nehemiah Sometimes I get the feeling of leaving the scene. I've pushed my limits when it comes to BDSM. I've tried a broad range of activities. Maybe I just want to settle down with one special person and go vanilla. I don't know. Anyone else ever get this feeling? It seems to me that you have a tendency to go to the extreme in whatever you are pursuing, be it work or play. How about giving "normalcy"...and by normalcy, I mean not always pushing things to the extreme edge whether it be in hours or number or scenes or number of partners or number of sexual interludes...a try? How about giving "solitude and space" to yourself to allow for your brain and soul and heart and body to interact with one another and come to some decision about where you want to go in life and what you want from that life? I've been "exploring" D/s for almost 12 years now. I've enjoyed those times when I was involved casually and I've enjoyed those times when I was involved in serious, long-term dynamics. I've enjoyed the more playful side of BDSM play...waxing a submissive into an almost cocoon-like sculpture of wax; teasing someone with clamps, etc....and I've gotten into some extreme BDSM play, the most recent experience involving running a very sharp knife tip and blade along her cunt while my fist was inside it. I've dealt with, and still do, submissives who have no interest in being my full-time submissive because we don't mesh at too many levels but who still like me and respect me enough to do as I advise and who want to play wit h me and I've had my heart broken by a submissive. In all those instances, I take time to go through "ME" and "hook myself up with ME" to find out where I am. Forgive me if I've read you wrong but from your other thread, this one, and some of your posts, it seems like "overindulgence" is a key factor in your life and "solitary reflection" is not.

Nehemiah -> RE: When to leave the scene (7/30/2010 6:13:13 PM)
Not jumping into things with both feet has always been a problem. I figured that the cocoon of family life might insulate me. I'm not too far from retirement age, so I thought maybe I could leave it all behind and focus on just one family. How much trouble could I get into staying at home, doing domestic duties. It was a thought.

juliaoceania -> RE: When to leave the scene (7/30/2010 6:18:58 PM)
Hmmmm... I do not think people should have families to lead normal vanilla lives, I think they should do that because they long for family life. In other words, it should be because you are drawn to the family thing, not because you are repelled by another lifestyle... I remember when I was in my 20s I did a career motivational test, and they told me I had negative motivations, in other words, I made career choices more by what I did not want to do rather than what I wanted to do. I decided I didn't like that, and chose to make a large effort to do things because they attract me, rather than the alternative repelling me.. I don't know if that makes sense or not. I just thought of it when reading your post.

Nehemiah -> RE: When to leave the scene (7/30/2010 6:29:19 PM)
It does make sense. From the age of 13, my father was preparing me to take over the family business. I went to college to escape that destiny, changed majors and pursued interests that allowed me freedom, not necessarily because I wanted to do something. It's something to think about.

quote: ORIGINAL: LadyHibiscus Well honestly, Kal, not every marriage is soccer moms and infrequent sex. I am not a vanilla person. I am not sure that I have EVER had vanilla sex. Could I leave the "scene"? I have, for longish periods. I prefer to NOT have authority dynamics with my primary partner. There are plenty of real life opportunities for me to be large and in charge. Still, I am a sadist. I could pack up my toys, but I would really miss being able to let it all out now and again. JEFFFFF----are you implying that you went out with AYNNE?? Because you are LYING! Ha ha ha ha ha Lady H! How did I miss that? [;)].

reynardfox -> RE: When to leave the scene (7/31/2010 2:41:41 AM)
If you feel you are losing your mojo, then take a break. It's about pleasure, it's not a career. I'll leave the scene in a box, then carry on in hell.

mstrjx -> RE: When to leave the scene (7/31/2010 3:20:02 AM)
As to the OP, I get the odd thought from time to time that maybe I have tapped my quota of relatioships, and that I'm due no more. For the most part, I would be fine with that. I have enough interests that I could do the 'loner' thing. But one of those major interests is keeping up with the activities that we talk about here. I have the books, toys, t-shirts, what have you. I could never again have a vanilla relationship simply in order to not be alone. Being alone couldn't bother me more than losing interest in a relationship that could be improved (necessitated) with authority dynamics. Jeff

DesFIP -> RE: When to leave the scene (7/31/2010 6:19:46 AM)
It is unfair to have these unspoken expectations, and to use some poor woman and worse, children, to try to heal yourself. First go get some help in figuring out why you have to do everything excessively and after is when you should (if you're still interested) go settle down. Without the hidden agenda. Otherwise I foresee another broken marriage and children without an active father figure.
