discipline

Tell Me About: Discipline

The Oxford English Dictionary defines discipline as “the practice of training people to obey rules and orders and punishing them if they do not; the controlled behavior or situation that results from this training”. A few weeks ago we discussed punishment, but how does discipline fit into a D/s dynamic? Setting the rules. When we began our D/s journey I didn’t have any specific rules to follow. In fact when the first rule was created in was following a plea from myself to help me …

truth

The Ugly Truth

Everybody lies. There it is, plain and simple. I doubt there is a person alive who has NEVER told a lie, because I believe truth is in the eye of the beholder. I am certainly no saint when it comes to telling porkies, I told my boys Santa was real, and that they had the ‘real’ Buzz Lightyear toy. I told my share to Mr H too although this has reduced significantly since we introduced D/s to our relationship. The thing is, why did that …

photography light

Learning about photography #1

CharlieX started a blog series Photography 101 a little while ago and it inspired me to look out our ‘proper camera’ in order to have a go. Unfortunately it transpires our old Kodak 2MP digital camera (purchased in 2005) had decided to send itself to camera heaven. Disheartened, because I do love taking pictures, I mentioned this passing to my Aunt and she has treated me to a new one. Given my inexperience, especially in light of the changes in technology when it comes to …

sex

Sex and BDSM

When our relationship first came to include BDSM, I imagined every single possible moment would be filled with sex. I wouldn’t be able to move without Mr H thrusting a hard cock into me and telling me what how he was proud of me, and how he loved I was always ready for him. Of course I was not realising that the truth of the dynamic I asked for, being submissive to Mr H, meant accepting he would be the Dominant. He would be in …

orgasm

Simply Pleasure.

For over 22 years Mr H and I were a vanilla couple. Our sex life was lovely, sensual and tender. I would occasionally orgasm, although this was more often than not from masturbation. It didn’t bother me that I didn’t climax every time we made love, I thought this was the normal state of affairs. It was more important to me that Mr H loved me and stood with me. I took pleasure from knowing he enjoyed sex and that I could please him, it …

Soundtrack to my life

Music has the power to transport us to the past, and bring back memories, some good and some bad. I grew up with the songs of Madonna, Bon Jovi, Meatloaf, Abba and Fleetwood Mac, and so it is no surprise the songs of these artists can be used to track the journey of my life. Early Memories. Chiquitita by Abba, always brings back memories of Saturday afternoons spent with my aunt and Dad. After my parents divorced, every Saturday I was collected by my Dad …

mermaid tie

The Little Mermaid.

The Disney film The Little Mermaid has always been one of my favourites and I believe they are planning to release a live action version of it, as they have done with Beauty and the Beast, Aladin, and Cinderella. I have enjoyed each of these adaptations and I will watch the Little Mermaid to see if they have done it justice. This week the Tie Me Up tie is the mermaid tie, and I asked Mr H if we could do it as I thought …

libido

The relationship between libido and desire.

In my opinion libido is a delicate thing, which can be influenced by many different things. For example, medication, particularly antidepressants, can reduce libido, menopause (both male and female) and depression can cause the loss of libido. Libido is defined as sexual desire by the Oxford Dictionary, and so another way to describe it would be loss of desire. I have written recently about my own reduced libido and difficulty reaching orgasm, which I have concluded to be from the medication I was taking at …

A Sweet tweet.

The Wicked Wednesday prompt this time is 3rd person, and as most of Sweet’s work is written in the 1st person she thought this would be an interesting challenge. Let’s hope it actually works and Sweet does not make a horses ass of herself! A gentle nudge stirred Sweet from sleep, she tried to turn her head away from the source, but the ginger cat was not to be deterred. With deliberate care he touched his head to hers, and touched his nose to her …

rope apparel

Rope apparel

What do you wear for a party when you are into kinky things like rope bondage? When we went to our first BDSM event TAT2 I wore fishnets and black (I have included an image in the slideshow) and Mr H wore a black shirt and trousers. I felt very sexy and I was pleased with how the outfit turned out. We do go to munches when we can, and Mr H liked the idea of me having some rope work under my top which …
