I am going to start filtering some of my more private musings. Since blogger does not have a tool for that, you will need to visit my Live Journal and ask to be friended there. I will continue to post Daily Gratitude and other subjects here. There is also a FAQ for my Journal at the same link.
| Thursday, May 23, 2002 @ 22:40 "If everyone who plays bottom is a slave and everyone who plays top is a master or mistress, then where's the romance of the titles? Where's the element of the extraordinary?" This quote is from The Slave, by Laura Antoniou. It's spoken by a minor character in a flashback. Whether the author herself agrees with the statement, I don't know. Many of the characters in the series would laugh at such a statement. Many people I have encountered real life would say something very similiar. Me? I used to think along these lines. Now I would be in the laughing category. The beauty of my life isn't that it's extraordinary. It's that it feel perfectly natural. Now, maybe most people are living unhappy, unnatural lives, but that's not the point. For many, the appeal of "alternative" lifestyles is that they are alternative. "Hey. look at me! I'm not ordinary!" Even if the only people you're out to are other kinksters. Of course, maybe that's the root of the whole "I'm a slave while you're just a submissive" bs. "I'm not just special, I'm better at it than you are!" F*** that. I am a sadist. I am dominant. I don't write on this website to shock people. I don't play at parties to get a reaction from the audience. I feel most natural and comfortable in situations that *others* consider extraordinary. To me, it's just who I am. There is no "romance" in calling myself a mistress vs. a top vs. a sadist. It's just who I am.
