I am or should i say we are probably not the best examples of doing things the right or rather the commonly advised way, like the common advice for first meeting as well as others
1) have a safe call in place on first meeting....nope i didnt
2) dont 'play' on first meet..yep we did ..i know what a harlot!
3) dont 'play' under the influence of alcohol or drugs (not hard drugs)..yep we have and occassionally still do to both...albeit not heavy play ie bondage or edge play
This is me (us) i am not suggesting these guidelines are not followed..what im saying is they are just that..guidelines..not set in stone rules that should be followed at all costs.
My personal pet hates is bold statements outlining how something should be within ttwd and if your not that way well your clearly not submissive or dominant are you?, i have been here before and yes dammit im going there again......THERE IS NO RIGHT OR WRONG WAY yes im shouting.
Now im going back to my cage in the cellar to drink from my water bowl..coz obviously being a slave thats the way it is...yes thats sarcasm!
If you have any newcomers in the lifestyle reading you, it is good that you reminded them there is no right way or wrong way to do things. The key is what works for each individual couple and whatever they want and like to do is right for them.

hi FD
DeleteI do think its something that newcomers need to know because otherwse well as kat below said it can all read like instructions.

I agree with FD. So many people (including myself) read these blogs and thing they are instructions! It took me a while to remember or figure out that they aren't.
ReplyDeletehi kat
Deleteyep it can be a bit overwhelming i think and sometimes a step back is needed.
Slaves get water bowls?? Damn, I'm doing it wrong...Lol.
ReplyDeleteAnd one would think that in a land of whips and chains, people would tend to be more accepting of individual choices.
"That's too much, that's not enough, you are, you aren't, you're clearly doing it wrong" all very good reasons for avoiding fetlife lol.
I'm ranting off subject aren't I...My bad!
yes lil you are doing it wrong and i am very disappointed lol im relieved you got it as it is intended sometimes i dont think people get my british sense of humour!
DeleteI have heard that fetlife is very much like that, i did join but didnt find it easy o navigate so left...from what i have heard im not missing much.
You rant away lol
I enjoy your blog, Tori, because you tell how it is for you and don't expect others to do the same thing.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your candor!
Love,
Kitty
thanks kitty, i think we should all be more accepting that just because we may not be the same as others doesnt make it wrong.
Deletexx
I find a prevailing attitude on FetLife among certain groups that there is The One True Way to do things and everybody else is a tosser. As a Bi/Queer Poly/Swing Sensual Switch I see this in every one of those circles! According to all "the rules" I'm really a "lying selfish confused closeted gay secretly straight monogamous cheating not-yet-broken sub wannabe Dom." Really? No. I define myself, Mrs. AP and I define our relationship, and we do what works for us. Nobody else -- until we incorporate another partner into the relationship -- has a say.

Mr. AP
Yep im becoming more convinced that Fetlife is not somewhere i wish to be, the negatives seem to outway the positives.
DeleteI agree it is what works for the couple..sod everyone else lol
I like your bluntness tori. Very British :)
