Thursday Question #39: Burnout

Every week there will be a BDSM question posed to readers here at BDSM is Love. Feel free to answer it as candidly as you’d like. If you’d like to participate in the discussion please leave a comment on this post, send me an email or post the response on your own blog!
Do you ever experience burnout? How do you handle it? Do you take measures to avoid it?


















Sort of. Because we live apart at the moment we tend to cram a lot of the physical bits of our BDSM into what time we have together for it. I suppose imagine someone that doesnt get fed very often being presented with an all you can eat buffet and thats sort of what it could be like if we didn’t keep an eye on avoiding it….so..if we have a good session one day we try and do something more relaxing the rest of the day, whether it be bdsm related or a walk on the beach.
I think the trick is not to get carried away…its difficult though sometimes! xx
thisgirls last blog post..Presenting Exhibit ‘A’
Oh I know it’s not Thursday and I am soooo far behind on my good reads and posts I love…but I had to join in late, I think this was a good question. I don’t know that my response really is relevant - LOL - sometimes I get a subject in my head and ramble… You know I don’t see myself getting burned out as long as it is still “mutually” satisfying, wanted, desired, etc., but I am just a GLUTTON for everything I love - BDSM, The D/s Lifestyle, all being so new to me, I can’t see myself being burned out for quite a long, long time…I tend to be compared to the Energizer Bunny at times…but I do need encouragement from Him that “He’s” into it, that it’s not a chore.. and I’ve come to the conclusion that He and I are on polar opposites in so many ways - He’s gung-ho and 100% driven for only so long, then KABOOM! life, stress, family issues, money, work, it all takes His interest to “nil”, “zero”, and I feel He’s just burned out on life itself - including the effort of enjoying what He and I share… then there I am 100% still gung-ho and excited about it all, wanting to experience, live it, etc., and I am lost… So, I’ve decided - just let Him have his burn-out period, and wait till the spark comes back when the stress of every day life is finally lifted off Him (hopefully!!)… Thankfully, His actual love and interest in me isn’t burned out
