For Fun

» About

Years ago someone read another site of mine and said that what I wrote reminded her of David Sedaris. Naturally the next time one of his books arrived at my shop I took it home. I felt mighty flattered.

It nags at me that rarely does my essentially whimsical nature emerge here.

Why do I write here? Bunches of reasons.

Originally just for sharing with Alexandra. Even outside of kink and as a sometimes readily aggressive man as a lover I’ve shied away from seeming demanding. Initially confused by the power exchange within D/s being able to exhibit my desires without asking directly to have any of them met enabled me to state them.

Still a vice of mine. She says “Tell me” and I get all tongue-tied. So I write another entry. But, hey, few dominant women have a better virtual encyclopedia of her lover’s wishes than Alexandra has here.

Missionary zeal. Having seen how many guys just bollix up the pursuit I’ve had this - possibly foolish - desire to offer what hints I can to helping them spend less time tripping over themselves.

To ascribe to blogging the power of increasing self-understanding surely strikes some as making a damned silly claim. But were I a literary artist saying that I write because in doing so I discover reality would be a statement of auctorial purpose so clichéd to excite no remark. Literary talent I don’t possess but even the ungifted can use the creative process for the same pupose.

Making friends. It was my compulsive keyboarding that won me both my first experience with a dominant woman and my beloved Alexandra. And I have steady pleasurable exchanges with my virtual friends. Sometimes - but only rarely - I dispense with the worries about authenticity appropriate to meat space. But so what? Experience of an enjoyable personality is no less lovely for that.

For fun. D.H. Lawrence recommended it as the best reason for revolution. As a Norwegian research team of scholarly funologists reported at their latest conference the maximum amount of fun one can have in life has yet to be determined.

I wouldn’t be wearing out my fingers weren’t I having a good time.

There are too many books to be read, CDs to be played, movies to watch to give time to this if it didn’t tickle my fancy.

I’m no philosopher, psychologist, social theorist. I’m a guy who gets pleasure from the product of his typing.

For fun.

Why the heck to do you it?

Now if I could only come up with Femdom equivalent of the Sokal Hoax.

Hmm

“The fundamental quanta of female domination is the femdton, a particle … ”

No, that isn’t quite it.

p>”Dominant women have been discovered to exert a field called femdonetic … “

Nah.

Femdom Narratologies and Heuristics: Towards the Hermeneutics of the Hypostatization of the Womanist Power Experience (CUNT Series of Discourse and Dialectics in Neo-Sexist Post-Deconstructionist Paradigms)

I said I don’t have talent.

But it would be fun.

Richard, I stumbled across your blog today (Google) and I am in awe of your ability to express, with the written word, your feelings about your submission—your need to write about it, your joy in writing about it. I am finding in my search for knowing more about my own submissiveness that I am increasingly attracted by the words of thoughtful, intelligent male submissives (I am female). I don’t like to generalize as a rule—perhaps there are women whose journey and writing would appeal to me as well—but when I happen upon yet another male submissive who writes about his submissiveness from a point of view that I understand, I am again struck by the similarities in our soul searching.

I am also moved by your writing. While I may not be a writer of any particular merit, I do appreciate your command of the language—your style, the words you choose and the music behind the words. I find myself responding in kind to one who writes so well and so expressively.

So, thanks, man. Word. Kathy

I’ve often read blogs by submissive women. (And should get back to doing that again.)

Oddly, even though my gender identity is male I sometimes find myself identifying with the feelings of women more than men. Most of the cliches of “typical” male behavior are so unappealing.

The desire to surrender has lots of universal qualities that are of the heart and not the body. More submissive guys would probably enjoy reading the blogs by submissive women more if they didn’t go for superstitions about female superiority.

I’m no good at handling praise, so I’ll just say thanks.

How do you feel?

Feel free to share your feelings about For Fun. Please stick to the theme of the entry. Disagreement is fine. Homophobia, racism, and kindred expressions of hatred will be deleted. This site is one of my hobbies. I genuinely enjoy hearing from people and hate moderating or killing comments. Forthright disagreement is fine as long as it is civil.
My thanks,
Richard
