I love marks, too. The best thing about "temporary" marks that fade is that they have to be renewed!

I'm especially fond of welts. On Mine they fade within a day or less. I also like the deeper, red lines left by the crop and those fade in several days. We've talked about permanent marks, but I wonder if I would be happy with anything more impassioned than a tattoo? Not at all sure.

We're going to a cabin in the woods in a few weeks .... we'll see if the "need" is there for us both. We're not opposed to it in principle, just find no attraction to permanent scarring at the moment.

What about you, Ruby? I'd like to hear your ideas, too.
