Who finds this an ultimate fantasy: to live on an unknown island with your Dom or Sub with no one knowing where you are. Of course it will be unfair to your dear and near ones but if we ignored this point, would you enjoy it? and for how long?
I think if you know deep inside you the answer to this question, you will have a very good idea about the strength of the relation .

Notice that the OP says nothing about either work nor "peace and quiet."  The question is more about isolation of the relationship more than anything else.  At least that's how I read it.

I served on a tropical island, virtually unknown.  At the end of the day, there WAS "peace and quiet."

Let me put it this way: Lives are lived across the globe.  The relationship that is strong will be strong regardless of circumstane of A/C or not.  The relationship that is weak will be weak whether there is running water or not.

Will weak relationships stand stress? Duh - no.  Financial? Physical? Medical?... you name it. Stress will break a weak relationship.  PERIOD.

My uncle and I were just debating the pros and cons of dating people with minor children. He likes a more tribal experience; I am fine with cocooning and enmeshment.

Twice I stayed in Costa Rica at a yoga retreat center that was under construction by a friend of mine. The first time the water system was being perfected and there were days I had to haul water from a stream for cooking and cleaning. I think the shower was set up, but sometimes I just used the small waterfall down the hill. It was a bit of a clamber, other wise I would have used it regularly. The outhouse had a 5 gallon bucket with a toilet seat perched on top of it. It had no door, occasional snakes, and a view of the stream. Once, there was a small earthquake, more of a tremor really, but enough that constipation was a bit of an issue if I didn't eat enough coconut. This was in the rainy season, and also mango season. I couldn't really tell the difference between the 5 different varieties of mangoes. There were three different kinds of bananas - the regular size, the tiny ones, and plantains, which we cooked. The two smaller varieties were like ambrosia, and spectacularly better than supermarket bananas.

Veggies came in twice weekly on the veggie truck, which sometimes failed to show, in which case we'd scour the property, usually for papayas and citrus for green papaya salad. Farmers delivered rice and beans on horseback. Since we had no refrigeration, everything was prepared and immediately eaten - super fresh.

The second time I went during the dry season and it was too hot. We had enough solar panels to power lights if we used them sparingly. We had little portable panels for the solar lanterns. There was no electricity, so no AC or fans, and it was just too hot for me. I was a volunteer worker responsible for daily watering the gardens and cooking lunch, and teaching a few yoga classes per week. My host was supposed to provide me with a tent platform and proper mattress but was using the platform lumber for scaffolding and we disagree on what constitutes a proper mattress. I was supposed to stay from January - March, but after not sleeping well for 6 weeks, made the 3 hour bus trek to the nearest Internet cafe and changed my ticket for two weeks hence.

TL;DR version - I have lived fairly primitively (the kitchen and yoga center had roofs but no walls), but need a decent mattress and for the temperature to not be too hot/humid. My Dom would be the hunter and I the gatherer and both of us gardeners. I'm outfitting us with not just the Survivor initial gear, but what they earn via rewards and challenges (plus my mattress.)

How long? Well, let's have him also be a writer so a year sounds just about right for the book deal. If he's allowed solar tech to power his laptop (no internet) fine, if not, he'll have to make due with notebooks and pens. I'll massage his hand ;)

Nope, never bored, still tearing each other's clothes off years later about every other day ect.

Status: offline 		It'd be a bonding experience no doubt, and for that and all the intimacy that comes with it, I'd certainly enjoy it. On the other hand I'd miss family and friends, and there are medicated creams that I have to use regularly that I would be VERY miserable living without, so I wouldn't want to go "survivor mode" for very long.

So, as a short term thing, sure, it'd be fun, I'd go for it. But I wouldn't volunteer for a long-term "survivor mode" situation. If we ended up in one, we'd make the best of it but it's not something I'd wish for.

Very easy to make your own descent plumbing on a beach provided you know how to dig a a 6 inch tunnel from the beach to the sea. :-).

I think the intensity of experience after you come back will make it worth while the time spent there. At least this is my point of view. I believe the strengthening of connection between me and my sub during this time without all the noise and distractions will be worth it. It will very similar to the sensory deprivation experiments conducted by scientists now to understand how will the brain will function without the five senses.



So here's what I'm reading.

Q: Do you want to be Tom Hank in Cast Away, except instead of a volleyball painted in blood and stuffed with reeds you get a D/s partner.

A: While I appreciate choice partners over most volleyballs for a host of reasons, After a few days of this Swiss Family Robinson fantasy camp another person will begin to be a liability. I have strong survival skills. I can make shelter, hunt, cook, fish, make fire from certain sticks that basically do not exist in tropical climates. What skills does my partner have. Taking the best case scenario aggregate of all my partners... He or she adds very little to survival ease. If survival is too hard, then you can put D/s off the table. "I need to get up early tomorrow morning and find water. AGAIN. Because YOU don't know how to make a solar still!"

Couldn't we just go to eXXXotica eXXXpo here in Florida and make it a staycation?

Yeah...nothing says strong relationship as much as when there is no option to walk out on it.
I actually think a relationship that survives regardless of all the outside influences and distractions
is a better testament to the strength of that union.
But a few weeks on a deserted island with the man that I adore? Yes please!


Close to what I was thinking. I find the idea that someone is going to judge the strength of our relationship based on my utter hate of camping would be pretty ridiculous.

See, I just whooshed past that bit of nonsense! I'm all for running away and having fun, and not thinking about the things that REALLY test a relationship!

A test? I thought it was 'could you stand your playmate if that's all there was'?

Aha!
Quite right, I obviously didn't pass the "read the opening post" test.

In which case, yes.
The set-up she & I have discussed is very livable.
The idea didn't involve an island, tropical or otherwise, but I suppose it could work.
(without the "tropical" though, just good honest "seasons" wold be great)

Status: offline 		I've been fortunate enough to go to lovely islands with even more lovely men; favourites indeed in French Polynesia in places without electricity.
But I discovered I *need* electricity/generators for one thing, and one thing only: refrigeration and fresh milk. I can live on fresh fruit and veg and pig, without TV/internet, no problemo, but I discovered I am absolutely addicted to cold milk, for drinking and cereal. VHT milk in a sandy dugout is disgusting in comparison. My pioneer grandparents are revolving as I type.
So a month a year is fine for me. Six weeks with a lovely man :-)

Himself and I have been through some stuff, lots of stuff, so being stranded on an island together wouldn't stress our relationship very much. We work very well together as a team, and when in crisis mode, we work together even better.

We've both been tent camping since we were small children and could survive well in the wild. I know plants and herbs; he knows how to fish.

You don't say what (if anything) we'd have with us, but we wouldn't need that much, aside from water. As long as it rained enough to keep us alive, we'd survive.

The big stressers: no books, no diet coke (for him), no pain meds (for me), people we would really miss who might be worrying.

So no, I do not wish to be stuck on an island with Odeen, no matter how much I love him.

True. Considering the OP has more than one profile with the same profile copy, I think he is searching for something QUITE elusive.
