My readers, I do have time to think despite constantly engaged in caregiving on the level of a trained nurse.
Sub, Dom, Dom Sub, who teaches who? Both teach each other.
The term kinky covers a vast set of parameters - from oral sex to restraints, whips, and psychological aspects.
I believe we all have things to learn at all levels. The first task is to define boundaries, and the second is to outline likes and dislikes. Then, practice and adjustments in the kink adventure. While all this is primarily centered on the sexual role, each must consider life together in several other aspects. The greatest is companionship based on trust and love.
Mistakes will occur, so it is healthy to have a forgiving heart. Giving room to grow into a rewarding relationship will ensure a quality of life beyond what conventional relationships seem to demonstrate. Why? Because in the BSDM realm, openness and honesty prevail, or it becomes just another form of convention and is doomed to the same ends that those relationships often suffer.
Enjoy each other for as long as you can.
Jim
