Transparent Life

My Dominant and I have remained in touch for many years. We flirt, we text, we send messages on Fetlife, its nice to have that connection.

He is someone I look to for friendship and support. Our friendship has grown and although we don't see one another very often, what with work, commitments, you know how life can be like that.  There is no judgment with Him, just as there are no judgments from my primary, Master C.

I've been there for Him the last few weeks as has my fellow slave sister. He has been going through numerous tests and the results finally come through yesterday.

My Dominant is about to go through some life changes and I plan on being there for Him, as my slave sister will be as well.  He needs that right now, someone to help Him adjust to new medications, proper healthy foods as well as making sure He remains in as good a spirits as possible.

Being poly to me doesn't mean just sexually.  Polyamory means having a loving relationship with more than one person. It means being romantic with more than one person.  To go back to the word itself, it means investing amorous emotions in more than one person.

Master C and I are very transparent with one another.  It means that everyone, including my Dominant, knows what the other is doing, who they are seeing and who they are sleeping with. No one engages in NSA sex, everyone knows their sexual partners well enough to know their particular relationship will continue for awhile and that it will be based on more than just casual sex; everyone respects one another and their is always mutual sensitivity towards everyone's feelings.

In other words, it is not about "just" sex.
It is about love.

Negotiating

Today was subbie tea day! I've not been in quite sometime and I very nearly didn't attend. I've been having a lot of trouble with getting sleep and subsequently my mood and energy is lacking. But Master insisted I go, He was going to be doing some renovations to our bathroom while I was away. 

I got to our subbie tea location and as usual our hostess, with the mostess, has outdone herself. Always conscious of allergies and food concerns for everyone. There was 1% milk, almond milk and soy milk for your tea and coffee. To gluten free foods, fresh fruits with chocolate for dipping, vegetables with a herb dip as well as spinach dip with homemade made bread to go with it.  It is a great time to catch up with other submissive people as well as discuss the day's topic which was: 

THE ART OF NEGOTIATION

This topic wasn't just for new people to the bdsm kink community. It is always great to have a refresher. For me today this refresher was in the discussion of safe words and realizing there are many different ways to get your safe word out. 

1. You can use visual "safe words" as they are excellent for when you are at a public play party and it is noisy. Or if you have a ball gag in your mouth.  An example of a visual can be a yellow ball in one hand and a red ball in the other hand. They can represent your level of acceptance.
2. You can use a small object and toss it on the floor or towards your Top when you have reached your "red" level of acceptance (if that is what you have negotiated). 

I found this topic refreshing as I have been in the bdsm community for 5 years this year and it is always good to go over your check list of what you are ok with watching, what you won't do, what you love and what you are curious about. 

Always remember there is NEVER to be any negotiation once a scene has started. 

That all limits are off the table until discussed. THEN and only THEN are the ones agreed to, are the ones allowed. NEVER allow a Top to introduce during a scene a change that you did not consent to. 

Always remember that negotiations will always be ongoing, as you evolve and grow. Mine have and I'm sure yours have or will the longer you are in the Community.
