Just a quick note (wow, 3rd post today!): I stumbled upon Catalina’s blog, and I think we should all help her and her daughter. One of the major points of my blog is that there is nothing wrong with BDSM, kinks, fetishes, whatever, as long as they are consensual. They might not be for everyone, of course, but why be shocked about it? And more importantly, why consider it wrong? Who’s to say what’s wrong and what’s not? It’s this sort of intolerance that causes the most harm, not the behaviours that are supposedly “bad”.  Whatever happened to “Live and let live”?

And to bring a child into this stupid, useless, “moral” battle? I don’t know, maybe I’m the one who’s not seeing clearly here, but seems to me that’s a lot more evil than fun, kinky and consensual activities. Humph.

Edit: Catalina has met her deadline, hurray! But, as she says, the war is not over: ”The raffle continues, as it is scheduled to end on Sunday (8/17/08) at 10pm, but from this point forward, all proceeds will be going to the National Coalition for Sexual Freedom as a contribution from the community that has stood together and won this battle.  This is our way of supporting the war that has been waged in the land of the free against personal and sexual freedom.” So, there is still time to contribute, if you are so inclined.

Tom has thoughtfully tagged me for a meme on Gratitude, which is great because I was a meme virgin. And as he said, and I’m sure it’s the case for most people, I don’t take nearly enough time to appreciate the good things life throws at me.

I tried to find the rules for this meme, but it seems like all I have to do is list any number of things I’m grateful for, in no particular order. Sounds easy enough, but in truth, I do have to give it some thought, otherwise I’ll just write the usual things like “my friends” and “my family”. I AM grateful for them, very much so, but I think the goal of this game is to go a little deeper than that, no? Read the rest of this entry »

Ok, I think I’m all caught up on my sleep now. Don’t get me wrong, the vacation was relaxing and restful. We had our own little cottage by the sea, and we aren’t one of those couples that think they must do everything there is to do because they’re on vacation. We avoided the touristy stuff, and explored the area whenever we felt like it, often by just picking a spot on the map or turning on random roads. Many of my family had rented cottages in the area too and would drop by to say hi, or we’d have supper with them. Boy Toy was great during this whole time and I love him all the more for it!

No, the only tiring part was the traveling part, because we pushed and did it all in one shot rather than stop at a hotel and sleep. This is because I let Boy Toy rule, here. He was driving, so I felt it was his decision. A rather stupid one, we both agreed after. Driving all day and night isn’t the safest thing to do! But we made it, all in one piece.

And the whole vacation was like this, really. No domination, no kink. Just two equal people. We did end up having sex, by the way. Twice, on the same day. Hmmmmm   Nothing kinky, though. The only little trace of our naughty lifestyle was that we followed our cigarette contract, mostly. That’s right, we have a contract regarding his cigarette smoking. This was the first contract between Boy Toy and I, and I wanted to tell you all about it… Read the rest of this entry »
