Well, so no one commented on the Thursday Question this week about when you came out as kinky… does that mean no one is out? to anyone? No one wants to admit that they aren’t or are? Hmmm….
I’m out as kinky to all of my friends, half of my family and select few at work.
As [...]

How did you come [...]

Manners is something that good parents are supposed to instill in their children. Each family believes in and teaches different manner rules. I grew up in a household that really didn’t empahsize manners at all. How sad and depressing, right? Well, now I have my chance to polish up what I knew and learn (re-learn) [...]

Thank you so much for all the wonderful comments and thoughts on Soul Mates in my Thursday Question this week. I loved reading each and every one!
My idea of soul mates really did come from fantasy romance novels as a teenager. I loved the idea of a man to come sweep me off my feet [...]

I’ve had to learn a lot about courtesy and respect since I met Master. I am ashamed to admit that my family was rude, obnoxious and crude. I picked it up and didn’t bat an eyelash when I treated people poorly. I was described by my best friend as being harsh and without tact. I [...]

Belief in Santa
Santa was so magical to me as a child that when I found out that he wasn’t real I didn’t admit it to myself or my parents for 2 years.  Things just didn’t add up after awhile. How could anyone live at the north pole? I’d seen pictures of the north pole and [...]

My First Christmas Tree
My first Christmas tree that I put up myself in my first apartment was a tabletop tree that I placed on the TV unit. It was about 2.5 ft high. I bought a strand of 50 lights and some tiny ornaments meant for small trees. I surrounded it with my Christmas cards [...]

Tomorrow it was going to be just Master and I and a huge turkey breast with all the fixings. Now, at the last moment we will be hosting our good friends from the South, Selena and her husband. They will be in town visiting their family for dinner but wanted to come visit us after. [...]

Alright so here I am again preparing to do the difficult task of losing weight. I took a short hiatus to correct my mood and now that is under control I think I can work on my diet and exercise. This week promises to be really hard. I have a lot of little goals in [...]

Why Is Domestic Violence So Common?
The roots of domestic violence are embedded in attitudes toward women which have existed for hundreds of years. Even today there are numerous societies where a woman is treated as the property of her husband and he is seen as having the right to use physical force in relating to [...]

I found this essay a few months ago and i wanted to share it with everyone.
Abuse vs Erotic Power Exchange
By:
The National Leather Association
The Dutch BDSM Media Information Center
The POWERotics Foundation
Although discriminatory legislation sometimes likes to let you believe otherwise, there are fundamental differences between erotic power exchange and domestic violence (abuse). Erotic power exchange should [...]

A major characteristic of the abusers is their ability to deceive others. In front of everyone else, they are cool, calm, charming and convincing. They will appear to be the most devoted and caring partner anyone could ask for in front of others. In the beginning, they will appear to the victim.

The [...]

The NLA-I DVP is a project of the National Leather Association. They began in 1998 with the purpose of educating the BDSM community about the difference between consensual kinky play and abuse. They help victims seek safety and help and provide a large base of resources for the scene. They were the first SM organization [...]

meme stolen from pup
1. Sex is best in the morning, afternoon, or night? Morning. Now if only Master were a morning person.

2. What side of the bed do you sleep on? The side closest to the bathroom or the door leading to it. I have terrible night vision and fear stubbing my toe more than [...]

I found out how much my car is going to cost me. I don’t have it. I really can’t afford it at all. With the auto guy being really nice he was able to knock it down to $500. I told him I would give him a post dated check for Friday for half of [...]

Master’s mother sent me a belated Christmas gift. She has never met me and didn’t know about me until after Master was here with me. I got a ruby and diamond ring. It’s simply beautiful.
His sister asked him on IM if he was going to marry me. Gosh we’ve not even gotten that far, besides [...]

I’ve been a naughty girl. I hurt a really good friend and someone I look up to. The webmaster of Taking-It-Off took action that I most likely deserved. I’m not going into details and dredging up my mistakes. I hope that I can rebuild some sort of relationship that will be full of strength and [...]

You’d think that with all the wonderful things in my life that I’d be looking forward to Christmas and the joy it brings, the unity of family and the wonders of the season. However, when I think of Christmas it’s depressing, lonely and sad. Perhaps it’s because we are staying at home this year, or [...]
