Scribbles

Here's the thing - it's a really big deal and I wanted to be certain.
All of the important decisions had to be made; appropriate actions taken. We needed a lot of intense fucking to help keep us focused. Then we had to tell our families and closest friends (though in many cases we left out that whole intense fucking part.) Still, I decided to wait just a little bit longer even after we were already pretty sure.
Our last trip together was not just for the joy of being together, or because of all the fun we have. It was not just because of the constant laughing and getting weird, or all the intense fucking. We are so good together and we've documented all of that in our blogs many times, but there was something we left out this time...
We have some big news!
For a long time I have been trying to change my current living situation, find a new city, meet some new people, consider new relationships. But it was just not happening. Then I saw this amazing, dirty sub ButterfliesAndCuffs right here. I sent her a simple, friendly, non-threatening message, at some point we started flirting, and one day we both realized we had totally fallen for each other.
Now she is mine, and I'm keeping her. If that weren't good enough, 8-ish months after meeting her I will finally be moving.
And the best part is that I unintentionally (mostly) found an awesome city only 1 hour drive from her. As far as accidents go that was a very happy one. That was the biggest part of our last visit. We toured the city together, looked at apartments together, even saw some scary places where murders might be happening right this moment! I found a nice place, made all the arrangements, and I'll be moved in on the first of next month, 8-ish days from now.
One simple message, a little flirting, several months and a lot of intense fucking later - and we will be only 1 hour apart. Now is when the real fun begins.
Fine, we were a bit selective with the details in our posts regarding our last visit. I decided that we wouldn't mention anything until today because I wanted to be certain. But that's what you're supposed to do when you have big news, right?

Courtesy is a fine thing. Close your mouth when you chew. Put the toilet seat down. Don't wipe your ass with the cat. The usual stuff.

But what happens when you get a ton of messages here and you aren't interested in some of them, or you just don't have time for all of them? You're inundated, but flattered. Some are rude or creepy, but some may have potential. There are a few you'd actually like to follow up on, but most are of no interest whatsoever.
Some people (primarily Doms) think that you should respond to all of them anyway. But to go out of your way to answer every single message you receive from every random person out of some notion that it is impolite not to do so is not only impractical, it's silly.

Yes, it seems that to have much hope that your profile will attract the desired attention necessary for you to find any success at all, you must accept and even expect a certain amount of messages that do not specifically serve that goal. But to suggest that the only two ways of addressing that are to either make your profile less interesting (thereby attracting less attention resulting in fewer messages) or to answer Every Single Message, is not only counterproductive, it's silly.

So how about this - don't answer every single message.

Because, realistically, how far could you extend this courtesy anyway? One message? 10? More?
If a person sends you 10 messages and you respond each time, first with "hello" then each time adding "no thanks" or "no, not interested" or "no, not looking" or "no, really, I'm flattered, but no" at what point to do finally decide that - despite their efforts, despite the fact that they a person, despite your manners - you have had enough of telling that person No! Then what? (And before you answer, saying that you don't have to be nice any more because they spammed you is the self-righteous adult equivalent of a child crying "you started it!")

It is typical of a Dom who periodically receives a handful of messages to think that he is doing the rest of the community a favor by granting the courtesy of his response. But as many subs here will attest, their experiences differ greatly from his. They will tell you that far too often just replying to random messages, even if only to say "not interested" is interpreted by the faceless senders (again, primarily Doms) as an invitation to send another, and then another, and so on. Some subs receive 100+ messages daily, mostly from assjackets and wannadoms (yes, sometimes even from people with genuine interest in them) but they feel that sifting through ridiculous, cut-and-paste nonsense, and drowning in the deep end of the domfish pond is a waste of time.

To help make the point lets say it takes only 30 seconds to open, read, and reply to a message saying that you are not interested, and 100 people message you every day. 30x100=3,000 seconds, or 50 minutes. You just spent nearly an hour saying No Thank You over and over and over in the name of courtesy. And that's just on this site. There are other, bigger sites that many of us are also members of where a sub could also get 100+ messages every day. And if you don't get to all of them, they add up, and so would the amount of time it takes to answer all of them. If you grant the courtesy of your time to every person that infringes on it how much of your time is wasted just communicating to people that you don't want to communicate with them?

If your profile already made you seem like an intelligent, thoughtful, wonderful person (before you broke the unspoken rules of courteous messaging etiquette, that is) that could actually be a small part of why your box got so stuffed in the first place. But if there are not enough free minutes in your day to give the courtesy of a reply to everyone - or anyone at all - that shouldn't automatically overshadow everything else that your profile says about you because time doesn't give a shit about your manners or how thoughtful you are or what you look like or how nice you are to strangers.

So how about this - don't answer every single message.
(You don't have to answer me right now. Just consider that for a time and get back to me later.)

Yesterday I wrote about how I and my filthy whore ButterfliesAndCuffs just spent a wonderful long weekend together taking in the sites and sounds of a new city, playing around in an awesome marketplace we found, and doing lots of dirty fuck stuff. Per usual, I recorded several videos of me having my way with her and her submitting to my every whim, and we decided that a few screenshots might make a HOT TTT post for this week. Of course there were relatively few tame moments in any of the vids but she was able to find some, I approved, and she posted them along with a couple pics from our time together.
She is a dirty, amazing sub, and it was an incredible weekend.

And an amazing weekend it was.
As my beautiful whore ButterfliesAndCuffs wrote in her blog post today we chose not to do one of those countdowns to our visit because there were already a few of those going on at the time, and we had done a real big, fancy one for our last trip together.
This was another one of those 'pull up to the curb, bring the suitcase to the back of the car, embrace, and not let go until it's time for the return flight' sort of things. And as each time before we couldn't stop touching each other the whole way to her house. In fact, like a couple of teenagers at a drive-in (remember those?) once we arrived we didn't even make it out of the car before the fun began, but it was dark enough so that the neighbors couldn't see us. Probably.
Immediately from the car to the inside of the house, a brief pause for a few welcome gifts - then straight into butt stuff! Yay butt stuff! And it just kept going from there.
The next day we took in the city, holding hands walking around an amazing area of downtown filled with performing arts centers, theaters, restaurants, but our favorite place was a huge farmer's market type of thing with dozens of vendors of all sorts: food, clothing, crafts, tons of various things all in one place. She was like a kid running around excitedly saying "look at this." and "lets look at that!" and "can we go look at that?" and "Hey - look at this!" for a couple hours. She was having so much fun and I absolutely love seeing her that way but few times I wish I had brought a leash just so I wouldn't lose track of her.
Speaking of which, the leash did eventually make an appearance, along with a few other fun toys, activities, and more dirty sexy adventures.
During our visit I marked her again and again in many ways, one of which I believe will be featured in her Thirst Trap Thursday post tomorrow, most of which we will not share because of the very personal bond between us that they represent, but there is no doubt that she is completely owned by me. She is such a good sub, so loyal and obedient and dirty, such an amazing woman, and I love and miss her more and more every moment that passes.
All that in just one long weekend. I enjoy imagining the day when that becomes even more...

My whoralicious little sub ButterfliesAndCuffs lived up to her name by creating a theme for her Thirst Trap Thursday post this week. We have both been very busy lately so when she presented me with 25 screaming sexy pics I wasn't sure where we'd find the time to do anything else. But working together as well as we do we came up with some great pics for today's TTT, and even found time to invent more fun, weird ideas for when we come together in 27-ish hours.

(Oh, right - we decided no countdown for this trip. Shhh!)

I love you baby.

It was an extremely hectic week for me but while my focus was all over the place my beautiful, perfect sub ButterfliesAndCuffs completed her weekly Thirst Trap Thursday post, and with only minimal input from me. She chose her pics, posted them with my approval, and she even added an awesome poem to introduce each one!
No one has to wonder why I am so proud to claim her as my own because I talk about her all the time, and there are certainly many, many reasons other than what happens under the bubbles. But along the way there are a few fun tub pics too!
Enjoy.

Yesterday I and my beautiful, dirty whore ButterfliesAndCuffs decided to write a poem celebrating some time we spent together recently. It was a very memorable vacation and we wrote this together, which was very special for us.
Here is her post with our poem so you can read her thoughts about it.

Catcher and Caught

Like bows and fantastic playthings
She pulled on his tightened heartstrings
Til he brought his net down
Pinned her to the ground
And parted her beautiful wings

He commanded her with just a look
Read her body like his favorite book
She gave up all control
Her mind, body, and soul
And all of her is what he took

On a leash, on her knees, on the floor
He led as she begged him for more
With a slap and his mark
He claimed this Monarch
Filled with such pride in his whore

He expertly wielded a crop
And she playfully asked him to stop
He made her ass sore
Still she pleaded for more
Til he bruised her from bottom to top

Then restraining each ankle and wrist
Her gasps and protests he dismissed
For it shone on her face
She accepted her place
With no thought at all to resist

For hours, fastened to a bar
Heightened, 'til almost too far
Him by her side
She could not stop the ride
Or get off, or even slow the car

Uncounted explosions of fire
Could she handle them longer and higher?
He admired the way
She would not disobey
No matter her pain or desire

Eventually the evening ended
The two of them tired and expended
He marked her again
Cleaned his property, then
Catcher and caught were now blended

He no longer needed his net
She knew that he owned her now, yet
They both were so proud
That they said it aloud
With words they will never forget:

"If devotion be prison, confine us
If hearts be like cages, enshrine us
Tied now together
Bound now and forever
Let none but our love now define us"

It's that day again, and my lovely slut ButterfliesAndCuffs has done her Thirst Trap Thursday post with pictures that she took and I approved. As usual they are gorgeous and naughty just like she is.
Can you believe I actually own her? I know that I do, and she knows it, but some days I still have to remind myself that this precious little whore is even real, and that she belongs to me.
Crazy huh!
And she is not just an extremely obedient sub. She is also a wonderful woman, a loyal friend, and a really, really cool person. And all mine.
So go look. Enjoy. I do!

Big thanks to SensualDom for this awesome challenge!

Alice in Chains - Black Gives Way To Blue
Dedicated to original frontman Layne Staley. RIP.

Soundgarden - Black Rain
Ignore the ridiculous video. Or watch it because it's actually kinda funny.

Johann Strauss II - The Blue Danube (2001: A Space Odyssey version)
If you haven't seen this movie, first check your pulse, then go see this movie. The music plays over the closing credits.

Rainbow - Stargazer
About a wizard who uses slaves and forces them to build a stone tower so he can reach the stars.

For all my fellow music theory geeks - there is a huge section of the music that riffs on a harmonic minor scale which gives it a middle-eastern type of vibe. That modal choice underscores a story like Egyptian slaves being forced to build stone structures such as towers and pyramids, etc. Pretty ingenious!

Moments ago my dearest dirty whore sub ButterfliesAndCuffs posted her weekly Thirst Trap Thursday blog entry. Per usual, she took several sexy, semi-revealing pictures and submitted them to me for my approval. Together we came up with 5 that were hot but not too naughty (I kept those for myself!) and she posted them here. However, this time we ran into a bit of a snag.
Two of the pics were very similar, but both were so good that we couldn't decide between them. So what better way to answer that question than to ask all our Cage friends!
Go look at her TTT post and let us know which one you would have picked.
