This wasn’t a prompt I thought I could write about, then I saw the posts that have already been linked and they set me thinking. One of the things to surprise me was the number of people who separated sex and intimacy. Some going so far as to actively consider them as separate activities […]

Pain – Now there’s a word that splits me in two. In general terms, I hate pain. Even mild discomfort is something I avoid in daily life. When it comes to D/s, it’s a whole different ball game. It gives both my current domme and my former mistress a giggle to bracket me as […]

This post, published just before Christmas wasn’t linked to any prompt. Very timely that May and Floss have “2019 in a Nutshell” as the #F4T prompt to end the year. With Christmas being somewhat crap, re-reading this post of only 10 days ago provides a larger perspective on how good a year 2019 has been […]

There’s no real message in this post, more a stream of consciousness. “Smile and the whole World smiles with you …”, thus sang Louis Armstrong and many others who covered the song. When you can’t, or don’t want to face the world, it’s not so easy to see who’s smiling. The Sunday before Christmas I […]
