You are definitely not the only one! I view it as another facet of my emotional connection with someone - when they can tell what i need, and when i can tell what they need. I think being able to read your partner is a very important part of any relationship, regardless of kink. Personally, i find a relationship with kink (read: D/s) to be much more fulfilling because i think it allows me to more fully experience the range of emotions and thoughts that is me, and to have a deeper connection with another person. For whatever reason, i've never gotten to the same point emotionally in vanilla relationships as i have in relationships with an element of power exchange. Sometimes it seems like part of the crying is simply relief that someone understands me well enough to be able to help me let go.

For me that is a control issue.......thrall holding the reins.

With submission.....i give over that control....Tears by Him and for Him....the gates are open......and the tears just flow.......

They are emotionally draining.....emotionally cleansing.....tears of the soul.....
It takes immeasurable amounts of trust to be able to do that. It's a blissfully terrifying feeling.

All my emotions, happy or unhappy practically overwhelm me and I canīt deal with them and then I just cry and donīt know why. At those times I just want to be held close and cry until it stops. It is, as many of you have said, an emotional release. Afterwards I feel much better than before. Iīm pretty calm then and, really unusual for me, do not even want to talk ;-)
Lol you're a talker, huh? Me too! I rarely shut up - i think i annoy my office mates at work because i always want to chat. Speaking of yapping, i was watching Fox news tonight and there was this awful hostess on. I couldn't help but think wow, someone stick a dick (or gag!) in her mouth and shut her up! Does anyone else have thoughts like that about people they see - people who just need to be gagged or spanked or tied up just to get them to *stop* whatever obnoxious thing it is they're doing?
