i agree with ljd. if your way of living permits it...and a 24/7 D/s relationship is what you are looking for, then more power to you. i actually envy people who are in the lifestyle 24/7. but like ljd said, sometimes everyday life just doesn't permit it. the kids are a big factor, of course. also those of us with vanilla spouses...that kinda tends to hinder the idea. my husband has expressed an interest in BDSM and, bless his heart, he does try...and is learning. i know this may sound weird, but for me, with him, i've known him for so long as NOT being dominant in any way...so even if he does continue to have an interest in BDSM, i honestly couldn't see it being more than just a play time thing with us. unfortunately...

although, i have had a successful D/s relationship before that was pretty damn near to being 24/7. but see, i had met the guy as a dominant and couldn't picture him any other way. i hope this makes sense. lol i do tend to go on at times!
