BDSM is Love

You are browsing the archives of lifestyle.

So you’ve had a pretty nice talk with someone on chat and then they say something that doesn’t jibe with you. Does it lead you straight to think that this person is a wannabe? How do you know? There are several times that I’ve had to step back and ask myself is this person just [...]

People can come by and ask me questions about anything and I’ll try to answer them honestly and as best I can. I don’t consider myself an expert at all but I do have a pretty good grasp of some things. Here’s a question that was asked awhile back and my response.
I’m so glad I [...]

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) [...]

Each relationship that we pursue is going to be unique and different. We can not compare one person’s dynamic with another’s even if we can agree that it is under the term of BDSM that we hold this relationship. In a recent comment on the post Speech Training there came up a need for me [...]

My submission resolutions are going to be where my hardest work is I think. Master has noted that he wants to be more strict and to get the rules I have adhered to better. I’ve been slacking and so has he. So my first goal is to improve my obedience to the rules he has [...]

On my way home from work today I was thinking about how far I’ve come since I was collared in February.  I’m amazed at how comfortable I’ve become with my role. I’m more accepting of Master’s rules and his control over me. I don’t fight quite so much. My sexual submission has come leaps and [...]

From Submissive Journal Prompts:
“What one has not experienced, one will never understand in print.” -Isadora Duncan
I began my journey into D/s and BDSM in online chat rooms; namely those on IRC (BDSM-Net and Bondage.com). I knew nothing of what the lifestyle would be for me, only the fantasy that I lived when I got home [...]

From Submissive Journal Prompts:
List 5 things that you are grateful for in your life.
1. I’m grateful for my ability to change. Without the desire to make my life better and more fulfilling I would be stuck working at a dead end job with no happiness in my life. Since I’ve been able to change my [...]

This week we talked about whether BDSM can be considered a sexual orientation. Here’s what you said:
this girl says:
Hi Luna.
I think so. BDSM is about what turns us on, our wildest, darkest fantasies and desires and it crosses over with sex so much. I think its more appropriate to call it a sexual orientation than [...]

This week we talked about that pivotal moment when you knew that the lifestyle was for you. To review, the question was:
Every single one of us is in a different place on our journey. Let’s go back to that epiphany moment. How did you know you were suited for this lifestyle? What happened at that [...]

There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.

I’ve been a bit down in the dumps the past few days, I’ve not been sleeping well and I’ve not been able to server Master as he would wish me to. I’m hoping that this is related to my depressive state, the weather or my current workload. I don’t want to be sick! I’ve had [...]

In two weeks I will be 30. I’m not sure how I think about this. I do know that I think about it often. It’s a milestone in my life and I don’t even know if I’ve really gotten far from my last milestone of 21. Sure I’ve traveled this journey and taken a few [...]

Snagged this from Thoughts from a masochist submissive. It’s interesting what gets on TV these days. What do you think of how it portrays proDomme services and the lifestyle?

We got so busy yesterday with friends after work that I didn’t get to blog like I should, I’m making it up now!
Master and I have the same discussions over and over. They are always about my failings when it comes to the  sexual ballpark of blowjobs.  You hear it on this blog all the [...]

I’m back to work today. I’m fighting the desire to sleep since I messed with my sleep cycle during vacation. I’m wearing the butt plug for training, I have the nipple clamps to endure as well. I do this so that Master is appeased and so that I can learn to get used to what [...]

This is a topic that comes up very often in discussing BDSM. It is guaranteed to cause some very emotional responses. Many try to link a submissive personality to past child abuse. Saying that a submissive personality is a psychological remnant of the past abuse. Some try to say that BDSM is just [...]

uncreatedsnow brought this scenario to me and asked if I could talk about it; that it’s good for my theme this year:
Well an old boyfriend was trying to get back together with me, and being disinterested i explained that i was into kink/bdsm/etc. and that it just wouldn’t work or be the same… after explaining [...]
