wayside

...and not a single thought was had.

The body is a model - its boundaries can represent any boundaries which are threatened or precarious. As a complex structure it offers a rich source of symbolism for other complex structures.

Your thoughts are welcomed.

If there is a minimum requirement for 'membership' of this thing called bdsm then I'd be interested in know who gets to define it - either the base or gold standard. At which point on the pain threshold does the term sadist or masochist become meaningless? What level of consent negates submission/domination? To my mind, no-one holds the certificate of authenticity.

The problem with social networking sites and forums such as this, is that they create an illusion of intimacy which doesn't exist in reality. There is the potential for disclosure, secrets, sharing of one's most intimate thoughts - and to that extent, communication here may be cathartic and serve to fulfill some of the desires associated with intimacy. But, is it real? 

I've made friends here, and sadly, lost friends too. The losing happens a lot quicker than the finding.. which begs the question.. were they 'friends' in the first place?

 And so it goes.

Ok ok... the seagull's gone.

There's a dead seagull on the road outside my house.. its guts are being progressively spread over the road - no-one even tries to avoid it. I find it deeply upsetting but can't bring myself to dispose of it.  It's also the fourth consecutive day of rain here. Sigh!

I find the whole 'financial Domme' thing extremely disturbing! Do people seriously do that?!?

"I don't believe there is a way back from disillusionment. I don't believe there is a way back once the respect has waned. We are not Dominant because we say we are, we are Dominant because we can handle a challenge...that's what makes us Dominant in the first place. The first flush and thrill of a new relationship is always good, it's the ability to maintain that intensity beyond the early days that defines a REAL dominant. The more I read here the fewer naturally dominant males I think there really are. I believe I am one of a rare breed. You are one of the most attractive, vibrant, intelligent and utterly feminine women it has ever been my pleasure to encounter. I suggest you go put on the gift you received from a natural Dominant and see just how good you look. Never, never accept second best. You, Ms Wayside, deserve the very, very best."

I had this message today, from a dear dear friend. He says what I wish I could say...simply and beautifully...it fills me with love, and makes me proud to know him.

"Publish and be damned" he shouts!! So I did.
