mari-
I'm enjoying this greatly actually. Getting the different perspectives is more helpful than I could have imagined. I'm also reading Different Loving, on Sir's advice, and it's been enlightening so far as well. Initially I thought that SM 101 was the best out there...but now I'm understanding that SM 101 is an awesome book, but doesn't go into the dynamics of the relationship and the different emotions that both go through throughout the relationship like Different Loving does. Neither is better than the other, they're just different. lol....no pun intended...but i'll leave it alone...
And as far as a thread regarding the two of us...no there hasn't been a thread...lol, we haven't even established what we define ourselves to be to each other, much less announced it....neither of us is much into opening up much of our personal lives to public view...nothing against anyone, we're just a little more on the private side, partially because of our profession. So to answer your question, nope, you haven't missed anything regarding us.
Thank you all for the input...please please continue!!!!
