When you write on the web your have two main rewards: 1) Learning about yourself, expressing yourself. 2) Reading the responses of people who’ve read your words.
A reply to a nice lady who apologized for not commenting on my entries.
I understand the feeling. Not being an expert at anything I have to push it aside and I’ve posting on the web for probably about six years now. I don’t think of comments being right or wrong. Just someone sharing a feeling. Whether they say that sounds neat or, Richard you are getting too carried away.
But don’t worry about commenting. When you do I’ll appreciate it. But I’m happy to know you are reading it.
When I wrote my reply I missed another issue. Being able to relate what I write to the reader’s experience. cattle prods, hot pokers and being trapped under a mattress probably are off in left field for many people (maybe even for me).
It isn’t always easy to emphasize with fetishes you don’t share. And in my long deferred exploration of my D/s needs I’ve accumulated a host fantasies - some extreme, perhaps odd.
While I enjoy reader comments, I’d like to hope that your at least find some of the entries entertaining. Whether you tell me so or not.
Thanks for reading.

If anything, I view your far-left-field experiences as being more important to share, and try to get your readers to empathize with.
Any old submissive can write about how wonderful it is to be put in a collar. It takes balls to even come to terms with ones own odd fantasies, let alone share them. But by bringing them out in the open you do a few things:
Cheers!

I just wanted to say thank you for commenting over on my blog, and for the book and site rec—lots of food for thought there!

Jonnay,
Some of my fantasies I don’t know if have the will to confess in public. Alexandra knows them. She and I have surprised each other sometimes with our desires. But that is all to the good.
I do write some intentionally ‘mundane’ things in case someone with doubts stumbles this way. Letting shame and doubt from stopping you from exploring is such a damn sad waste of time.

D,
I was glad to find your site. Liked those Lolita legs.

I enjoy reading blogs. I’m a newbie and through blogs I learn a lot about people, about the dynamics of D/s relationships, and I get to know the people in D/s relationships. You blog was the 1st D/s blog I “discovered”. My favorite post here is about Domestic Discipline. This is one post I could definitely relate (to).

Pity there aren’t more F/m weblogs. I’ve often wondered why. Even if the women don’t want to write I’d expect at least a few to order the guy to.
Right now I’m just going on tangents, confessing fetishes and finding torture devices to gently mock.
When Alexandra returns (sigh) I’ll be writing about what happens between us.

I don’t have the will to publicly confess a lot of my own fantasies. If anything, you are fare more open about your own desires then I am. (And I applaud you for it!)
As to why there aren’t that many F/m blogs around, I think that part of the reason could be social stigma. Being whipped in the comfort of your own home, with no one to see it is one thing. Being ‘whipped’ and being so public about it is something else. As enlightened a society we may be, there is still alot of sexism out there.

Some of the deepest, weirdest cravings I may never admit to in public. She knows about them. The goal not being to try to live them but expose myself fully to her.
I don’t know. There are plenty of M/f weblogs. Most of the F/m ones have either been abandoned or deal as much with what to have for breakfast and D/s. Pity I’m sure others have plenty to share.
