Re: Re: Re: Re: The same question I asked Art & Sam...
I think that's very likely, Persy.
Although it took me a month or two to be as comfy here as I seemed to be, I never had a problem discussing my r/l situations in detail. For one thing, I saw this place as a chance to learn and grow, and I thought it would only be fair giving the background on why I wanted this advice. But there was an element of pride when I talked about Hunny, because he really is a good man and I'm proud for having been with him the past two and a half years. I guess the aura of "come and share your life with us!" struck something in me and so I responded. Just my personality.
With T, I'm equally proud and I also have this annoying edge of giddiness because it's so new and powerful and neat. It would be hard for me NOT to talk about him when I refer to BDSM now, because the two are rather strongly intertwined in my mind. But I do enjoy casually dropping his name in every vaguely-relevant thread I can. (Good thing I'm with MzChrista and don't buy into that "meek shall inherit" stuff!)
I dunno. When I have moments of profound need or joy, I always want to share them with those I feel will respect them. Cheers to the BDSM forum.
Persephone36 said:Can I take a raw stab in the dark here (and please NO one take offense to this) but I wonder whether there isn't some exhibitionist pleasure being felt in sharing all the private details of the relationship amongst the community.
