So Tell Me ... What's The Weather Like on YOUR Planet?

08 July, 2007

For the SM-Feminists crowd ....

Quoting Miss Syl over at Sexeteria:

    I have never found any man, ever, who wanted to stay there with me at that level of animal savagery; who didn't hold back or back down and stop it before we'd really gotten there--beyond. It is a crossing over, allowing oneself to be in that state, and one needs to be willing to turn certain things off to be brave enough to stay there. Most people are not comfortable with the absence of those things.

    This doesn't mean my relationships aren't good. They are; the sex is good and very satisfying within the boundaries of how far the men I am with are willing to take it. I understand that most people don't want to go to this place. And I don't like my lovers to feel afraid or uncomfortable, and I like lots of the other places they do like to go.

    But for me, the lack of someone who can understand and connect to this state with me often leaves me feeling like a prisoner who has been kept in seclusion for many years. I long for that feelng of release; but it will take at least one other willing person to make it happen.

    No matter how many years you keep a prisoner in the darkness, though, she can still remember what a sunlit garden looks and smells and feels like.


Some of you folks might have some useful thoughts for her.

Hey there. Thanks for reading and sending folks my way. Thought I should say that I'm pretty familiar with the basics of BDSM; and while I am happy to hear anything anyone has to say about it in relation to the post, what I was writing about was something a bit different than that (to my mind, anyway).

A couple of the folks over at that corner of the universe have talked about that sort of thing usefully -- the edge of the wild, and the aching for it. I figured they might have something useful to say, somewhere along the line.

Miss Syl

I picked this up and ran with it

I get that you're not talking about BDSM exactly (though honestly if I did that same thing I'm sure I'd call it that), so I hope I've honored enough of your intent.
