Kim's poly/kink thread reinvented ...

I’ve never done yoga nor have ever heard that description of pain/release while doing yoga, but whatvyou describes makes perfect sense.

I had also just had a relatively crap day, so it may well have just been that, and nothing terribly deep. :rolleyes:
 
I was at my third ever yoga class today ... I don't seem to have lost 15 kgs, even after THREE classes, so that's disappointing. But this was a slow class - lots of holding poses for 3 or so minutes, really feeling into the stretch. And I was thinking how good it felt to really *feel* my body ... and then I realised that I was thinking 'again' ... and I started thinking about the bruisey sex, and how of the great things about the pain, and focusing on the pain to see how far you can go, is that you're really IN your body in that moment.
The last lesson I did, I had a moment where I cried ... I think it's somehow the same sort of release as I got/get from the pain. Something ... I don't know. Quite visceral.

I'd say yes, it is very much rooted in the body - in both scenarios, yoga and bruisey sex. It's a kin to runners high, or any other physical thing that pulls you and roots you in the moment. Different experiences, same root.
 
God this site is difficult to use sometimes.
Did I once see a 'show us your face' thread on one of the bdsm boards? Why can't I find it now? I have a face!!!
 
Hey kim, yes, there is a show your face thread here in bdsm. Keep working through the pages.

Breath, have a coffee, you are in a great location in the world, perhaps do not push too much for now.

cheers
 
Yep, there was... ugh... search is no help.
Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms.
The following words are either very common, too long, or too short and were not included in your search : Show, your, face

For some reason, I can only see two pages of posts in both Talk and Cafe?
 
So I'm back online, trying ineptly to find a date.

I'm at the point where I'm done with the chit chat. Just tell me what I need to know.

It reminded me of this scene from Seinfeld:

The bathroom is a deal breaker.

Ironically, chit chat is probably all we have at the moment. My 'saucy photo' game is definitely going to improve.

What else can you possibly do right now? Meeting for a drink is not going to happen any time soon, so might chat just as well.
 
This probably isn’t the place for this,
But I don’t know where else to place it:
I miss my other partner.

I love my husband,
And feel blessed to be here with him,
But not seeing my Daddy for weeks because I don’t live with Him?
It’s breaking my heart.

I bet there are lots of poly people
Who don’t live with every partner,
Who are feeling torn apart
By this travel ban/shelter in place stuff
Choosing who to stay with.

I am trying to spin it positively
And think about how awesome the next time I see Him will be.
Any other suggestions on how to make this feel
Less like a knife to the heart?

If it's any consolation (which it probably isn't), I'm in lockdown for four weeks with my teenage kid in a different city.

Skype dates. Pick a movie and both watch it at the same time. (Or books or board games, whatever floats your boat.) LDRs are tough.

I’m sorry about you being separated from your child. I couldn’t imagine the worry if I were separated from mine (only 5, so home anyway). Hang in there. 💜

Sadly, I don’t think these are viable options for us for several reasons (we’re both in healthcare with little free time right now, I work nights and Him days, we both have our families at home all the time with little privacy, etc), but thank you for your suggestions. We are what I consider a shorter-distance LDR and have been since we started dating, so we have our ways of connecting online that work really well for us.

My issue is with not even having the option of in-person contact for an unknown amount of time. We used to make our next date to meet shortly after seeing each other so that we would have something to look forward to, but now we don’t even talk about when the next time might be because it hurts too much to think about how far in the distance it may be. You’re totally right: LDRs are tough.
 
I'm really only making this post to see how my new avatar looks ... lockdown is proving fairly quiet. I think I'm making one or two connections online, although it's surprising how many of them lose interest after a day or two of chatting. Like, what do they think is going to happen in this environment ... although I literally had one guy message me this morning suggesting we meet. Today. Sigh. :rolleyes:
 
Your AV looks great Kim.

I trust all going well in lockdown, twelve days to go, but I suspect they might extend for a further two weeks.

Maybe ... our numbers are looking so good though. I'm optimistic. Maybe Level 4 for some regions but Level 3 for others? (Not sure how that would play out for my need to get to Auckland, but I'm sure it'll become clear.)
 
Maybe...I assure you, looking good, the light catching your hair, the colours....

Yes, numbers are looking good, I would rather now slam them down if possible, rather than have a resurgence by coming out early. I know it is difficult for many, but medium to longer term I suspect it would be better.

They may do it region by region, it could be a slow drop down each level.
