I completly agree with AdrianaAurora.
My wife and I live a 24/7 Domme/slave life. Often I find myself in complete bondage, being caned like there's no tommorrow. Often times I am collared and just hanging out. Other times I am at work or we are in a completly vanilla setting. It doesn't matter what the situation is, one thing that never changes is my 24/7 slave role. We have found a way that works for us even without all of the cuffs and collars. I think a lot of people might think being in a 24/7 TPE relationship means you are always in bondage or kneeling or whatever. We feel that if you can carry that TPE with you 24/7 without the props, in any situation, then you have acheived a true TPE.
