Adam
you are a VERY interesting man

Yeah a friend knew I was a slave and all and wanted me to take him to a S&M club he heard about. It was kinda like a teeny bopper version of S&M. Mostly vanillas and curious people. Nothing wrong with that mind you, just was weird to me, as I was under the impression at the time that my pain was my pleasure. So to see this "posing" was amusing. Thank god for alcohol.

Thanks Ms Bionic, I think you are most interesting too.

you lead a sexy fricking life, mister
my life seems very boring in comparison
I will have to live vicariously through you
you sexy thing

I am glad I got it out of my system. I don't think that I could have had a healthy relationship with a woman if I hadn't tested that side of my sexuality. Now it's all in balance. My degradation isn't the only way I think I can please a woman.

Though I won't ever pass up a chance when my wife feels "bossy".

she's a lucky gal, your wife
