The Culture that has been here all the time

When I was introduced to BDSM relationships, I realized they had existed probably for all of human history. Religion and Western Culture distort this and BDSM itself greatly, and if anything, an incredible hypocrisy is always present. Using codes and euphemisms, even denial can mask the fact that many people thrive within this often unrecognized subculture. For example, my wife had all the earmarks of a pleasure slave and was generally devoted and submissive to me. In times of marital friction, I often heard the words from a counselor, "She just wants you to love her." "Love her," I thought I was, and now I know without a doubt I need to be a Dominant, not some preconceived idea that we are to live as equals: we are not only one can be a Dom and one a sub at a time, but, it is perfectly fine if switching is desired at least now and then.

A friend asked me some questions here on the Cage, so I will use some of my answers in this blog post. A forty-year marriage, and I am certain my wife was a sub in retrospect. Me? I was in charge by default, maybe the best description. The realities of BDSM and its definitions entered my perspective about four years ago. I am still a novice.

"I ran our household: Made the lion's share of income from science and technical jobs, but I also ran my own creative endeavors in the music business and art.

We shared domestic responsibilities with our four children (a boy and a girl each), so, on the subject sub, she was 1950s-style.

Sex? Both of us experienced negatives. Simple answer: she pretty much was anything-goes that was safe. I learned gradually, through some conversations but mostly through observation. Past photos and behaviour. We both had strong sex drives"

So here I am living alone in a vacuum following my wife's demise and unsure what I should plan and expect. I just know I am still independent, clear thinking, and would benefit from a sex life.
