In my little stretch of the Blogosphere, there is not an endless series of passionate encounters that affirms my sexuality and the sexuality of my wife, J. As much as I like fantasy, I try to be honest about what goes on with me. If you want bull caca, there is always Donald Trump, just to name one.
I am in the process of phasing in a Mio FUSE, one of those heart rate monitor/activity tracker devices that is tied into your Smartphone. I wore it yesterday for my walk and was generally pleased. The pedometer is accurate. It recorded my distance walked at 4.07 miles. That confirms the distance I recorded for course length with my auto’s odometer. i say “phasing in” because I am a real curmudgeon when it comes to new technology or, Hell, even old technology. I must confess that I have yet to figure out (or even bother to use) that Kitchen Aid monster mixer thingy. I feel like I ought to be drummed out of the Cook’s Army for that shortcoming. The way I see it though, it’s just one more thing to clean.
Generally pleased with its first use, I resolved last night to learn more, but I didn’t go back to the tutorials. I was caught up in a lesbian romance novel, At Her Feet by Rebekah Weatherspoon. It was a well-paced read, with characters I would like to meet and have as friends. It explored a BDSM dynamic called Mommy/little girl. It isn’t exactly age play, but there is a Dominant partner and a submissive partner in the couple.
I am intrigued by relationship itself. I look at what I don’t share about myself with J and wonder about her private self that she doesn’t share with me. I don’t discuss my love of the erotic, of the mystery of sexual love. I conceal my interest and curiosity, perpetuating my sense of shame. Needless to say, the concealing doesn’t elicit trust. and the cycle continues.
That cycle really is so hard to break. But your honesty and frankness is so refreshing.
I was trapped in that for a decade. Thinking I was defective for the things I found appealing. I carried so much shame around, too many secrets. It’s a heavy burden.
