Orchid Soul,
I completely agree with your comments...on D/s just being a more extreme form of any other relationship in that the pleasure and service to one's partner is always important. I also agree that we talk about way, way more than just sex around here. To say otherwise would be to diminish the many wonderful threads and posts about the mental aspects of submission, humility and service posted by Nikka, lucy, and so many others of us as we share our growth and experiences with bdsm as a whole. Thanks so much for posting!!
