For obvious reasons, I can't divulge my kinks to friends, casual acquaintances or even a trusted friend because doing so would mean revealing that part of me that society, in most cases, would label as abnormal. I am talking the D/s scene, roleplaying, fetishes, etc. I am a playful guy, generally do not seek out anything of a vanilla nature when I play because I have plenty of vanilla in my real life. The craving I have which I try to satisfy (usually without success) in the P4P arena is that of being sensually, playfully submissive to a sensual, playful domme. It does not fit into the BDSM scene in the strictest sense, no whips, bondage, etc. More mind games than anything else.
I have been lucky probably 2-3 times in meeting ladies who "get" me without feeling as if I am being judged as a weirdo. One is now retired, one lives too far away and still another and I seem to be star crossed when it comes to setting appointments.
Believe it or not, what I miss most is the feeling of intimacy I got when I was with these ladies. Sharing my inner most thoughts and desires and feeling accepted in spite of them was a very fulfilling, satisfying feeling. In short, the relationship meant something to me beyond the physical, although I recognized that there were obvious boundaries which needed to be respected and observed.
I guess my question is, do you other guys who play like this, and you ladies who provide in this space, feel a stronger sense of intimacy because of the somewhat "taboo" nature of the activity, as opposed to the normal "vanilla" stuff most people on this board seem to engage in? I mean, do you ladies recognize that for some of us men (me-especially) divulging this aspect of ourselves requires a bit of courage and trust and being accepted by you gives you a place of importance in my life beyond just the service provided?
I hope this makes sense to someone besides me.
