ORIGINAL: FukinTroll How do you feel, I mean really feel and not the glossy fluff for the forum, about accepting a sub/slave who has had a mastectomy or double mastectomy? i should already be out the door hiking this morning but i can't leave without addresing this one thread. This hits very close to home for me. i have lost family and friends to breast cancer and even had a scare with it myself a couple of years ago. Personally, my breast are small and to lose one or both, does not affect how i see myself as a woman, it would be the cause, the cancer, that i would have to gather my energy for. Before i left western medicine to write and explore the holistic realm, one of my specialties was mammography. It was by far the most rewarding specialty i had. The women i came in contact with daily, the stories of survival, their fears and hopes, the people that loved them....more often than not, a 15 minute exam ended with hugs, tears, and hope. i have seen all types of breasts, some so small they hardly fit on the compression plate and others so large they took multiple films to get the entire breast imaged. But after awhile, you no longer see the breast in front of you but the woman behind it...and SHE is beautiful! i can appreciate those that would not want an individual with flaws. If someone can be honest with themselves and others about this, i applaude them and they should not be judged.It is their choice, afterall. However, i like to associate with individuals who see the whole person and what is inside them. It is that which makes us unique that i find so beautiful~
