i am in a real life relationship and we have been together for 6 months so not long at all really. my Master and i have known each other about 8 years and in all that time had done no more than steal a kiss once or twice. He had told me about His 'fetish' a couple of years a go and i found it really interesting but at the time did not take it any further. Then we met up again last june and stole another kiss which lead to a bit more, lol. We talked about BDSM and He gave me a few sites to look at and sent me some stories to read. All through this time He was saying how this wasn't going to be a 'relationship' and that He wasn't looking for anything serious.
Well, its 6 months on, we live together, all be it in a shared house, but for the most part we live life as a bdsm couple. We love each other dearly, more than i have ever loved anyone, i cannot say for Him, but i know i have brought things out in Him that He had closed off for an awful long time.
So i can say that from my very short experiance, bdsm has brought me more happiness, love, security and passion than any other relationship and i hope that this one day does become one of the very happy longlasting marriages you hear about so rarely these days.

sorry that went on longer than i expected.
