Love and BDSM----Question?

[thrall]

Does love really have anything to do with BDSM?

Yes.......and no. Does love have anything to do with sex. Same answer. You do not have to be in love to have either......love brings things to a different level

Or Is love a seperate entity from BDSM and vice versa?

Well you have to love BDSM to enjoy it.

Can you love BDSM and not love the partner your doing it with?

Sure, It just depends on what you are trying to get out the relationship.

Or do most think in order to do or be part of a BDSM Relataionship one must be in love?

Now there is a key word....relationship. Define your terms.

I ask these questions because, 1) I have had BDSM relationships that were intense but we were not in love and 2) I don't believe love and BDSM necessarrily have to be linked in order for a good BDSM realationship to exist and last.

Good then you found someone who was compatible with the limits you both set.

All I see is 1) physical attraction to such a point ya would have sex with the person 2) Mental attraction where the two of you have many simular interests in the lifestyle and some out of it and 3) Respect and and trust must be present. AM I wrong on these accounts or what?

No you are not wrong with these points.

I think you need to be clear about what you are looking for......what you are looking for is a play partner........
