Status: offline 		a few years ago, i had a close friendship with a remarkable woman who loved playing on top. we played together from time to time, though it never turned into anything serious, we were always just close friends. eventually she started dating a guy who was subbing to her, and he had this fantasy where she would give some other dude--some dude who was physically stronger than him and who also had great hair*--orders and have him beat the boyfriend up kind of like that scene in venus in furs. she thought it was hot too, and thought of me immediately. it seemed like an okay idea, and they were springing for an expensive dinner and some ridiculous cocktails beforehand, so i was all in. the way things played out was: i had a pretty good time, she had a really good time, her boyfriend (whose idea it all was really in the first place) did not have a good time. in fact, it apparently turned into an Issue for them in the coming months right up until they finally broke up.

now this isn't the only time an idea that has seemed craaaazy hot in theory has turned out disastrously for me in practice. it just happens to be the example in which i am in no way at fault and come out looking the best so it is the story i have chosen to tell. has anybody else had experiences where reality and fantasy collide in horrifying (and/or hilarious) ways?

===============

* he probably didn't actually say he wanted a guy with great hair. it's just, you know, he was balding and i have great hair.

Not to be an utter dick about this, but I would never allow myself to believe I had no responsibility toward a situation that led to the breakup of a friend's relationship. You might want to elevate your definition of personal responsibility.

I don't have any horrifying stories. I do know that I don't enjoy receiving strapon, even though I find some Fm strapon porn hot. Tried it with two different partners, made me nauseous afterward both times, with no benefits that outweighed the negatives. Hot in theory, lame in practice.

everyone involved made their own decisions. everyone was perfectly aware going in what was going to be happening. it is unfortunate that the dude she was with, who was a pretty okay guy all things considered, was unable to deal with emotional fallout from seeing his own fantasy actualized. it's too bad that eventually contributed to the dissolution of a relationship. my sense of personal responsibility includes making decisions i think are rational and moral given the information i am presented with.

sometimes bad things happen even when everybody involved has behaved in good faith. it was either socrates or judd nelson in the breakfast club who pointed out, "the world's an imperfect place. screws fall out all the time." years ago it was sad when they broke up, and i certainly would not have been glib about it back then when the emotions were still ragged and raw. now, everyone involved is capable of recognizing it for the absurd, blackly comic scenario it turned into.

And for the record, I think it's funny as hell :D

That's where I never really make a true connection personality wise, but somehow got far enough to try some play. So, instead of things being really hot everything just hurts, and when it doesn't hurt, I just feel disconnected and bored. I can remember a few of those that seemed to go on for hours and hours non-arousing of torture. Not safewordable stuff, just prolonged discomfort punctuated by short bursts of pain. The problem is that I always feel like I owe the Domme at least one good session for her trouble. I end up driving home really sore and wondering what I could have been thinking.

There are things we've done and that he has me do that I don't particularly enjoy, but I do them anyway and I enjoy pleasing him and making him happy with these things and so in the end I do not consider this to constitute a poor decision in any way.

It was more of a voice that told you what you wanted to hear.

So it goes, dragging a third person into a relationship in any way is asking for trouble of myriad varieties, even regular threesome fans tend to develop pretty elaborate rules, and they still go bad about as often as they go well. If there are deep emotions attachments and/or insecurities involved, it can be very tricky stuff, the third person becomes a catalyst.

I had a bunch of friends once lived in this big old farmhouse, "Animal House" (that should date it, pre-AIDS), non-stop party, and strange people were always dropping in out of nowhere - one of the crew was the Playboy, good looking, charming, wealthy family, closest thing we have to a "Beautiful People" we have around here anyway, and he always had a hot chick hanging with him, nice guy actually - anyway, this girl just wanders in one day, good looking motherfucker too, and fucks everybody in the house, singly and in groups, every room, everywhere - and this goes on for like a week - everybody except the Playboy - wouldn't let him touch her. Lol, everybody thought that was pretty fucking funny.

Maybe some history there, hard to say, he'd just turn beet red if anybody mentioned it.

Not a poor decision, per se. Just a surprising result.

The poor decision was when he decided to do some humiliation to see if it made me hot. Made me lock myself in the bathroom and never want to come out. Took months of reassurance before I could handle what we had been doing prior to that. Basically, we started play all the way back at the very beginning, very light and fluffy variety because anything more intense was too much for me to handle.

Status: offline 		poor decision? No...not all that great, kinda boring or just not that hot or simply didn't work out the way we wanted? Sure, I've had a few. You live and learn and try something else.

I believe that. And no more can be hoped for, discounting precognition. If you are looking for a hug to get over the lingering regrets, I think that can be arranged.

But where you saying another thing?

I have had so many of the first that I get truly amazed when I find any of the second.
