16. "Enjoyment isn't intimacy." "And intimacy isn't necesarily enjoyment."

I almost burned down my house last night. Now that I look back on it, I can kind of laugh.

I also found a website with a bunch of songs I had been looking for! Yay for the internet!

I referenced T.S.Eliot AND Shakespeare while less than half the lines were taken from my copy of the Tao Te Ching. An explanation of Taoist metaphysics perhaps?

Thank you to the sexy candiedcyanide for this song. It's really awesome!

Sometimes the pertinence of poems I wrote awhile ago amazes me. I kind of treat them as snapshots of mental moods. Right now though I think this poem that I wrote in the past sums up in the last four lines how I feel lately:

This girl I know in a class of her own
Her mind is my Rosetta Stone
With its translation of feelings to prose
The feelings I don’t dare expose
This girl I know needs me with her there
To save her from Sartre’s despair
And to command her life and calm her mood:
She’s beautiful when she’s subdued.

Here's my thoughts:

- To some this seems an obvious question, one with an equally obvious answer of yes, of course. Those intimately acquainted with their local BDSM community and clubs are well aware of the prevalence of public play without sex. However, this is usually based on not being intimately acquainted with the person you're playing with. You would not be best friends, thereby avoiding any emotional entanglements. The physical temptation is dealt with by playing in public. Alright.

- There are married couples I know who are vanilla, yet the one who finds bdsm a need explores and satisfies this need with others. This works only if there is lots of trust between the two of them, and there are strict rules on what is and is not permissible. Unfortunately, there is a chance something more serious might develop. Depends on the people, depends on the relationship dynamic.

- It was suggested to me by someone in one of my bdsm LJ communities that if the Dom didn't make the sub do anything that would benefit him in some way, it would prevent emotional intimacy from developing between the two of them and remain merely functional. Yet how fulfilling is that for either of them?

- Then there are people who openly admit that there will *always* be a sexual element to bdsm. With that in mind, a few can manage relationships that have a sliding scale of what is permitted. Sex might not be allowed, but other ways to achieve orgasm might be permissible.

Here are a variety of answers, but really the answer is only important if you know why the question was asked. The answer is only important if someone, or more than one someone, can benefit from such an arrangement. A better question might be: Why would someone seek out an uncommitted, nonsexual bdsm relationship?

It might be that a person craves stability and yet would like the freedom to explore other options at the same time. A submissive might find herself not ready to be owned permanently by a Dom, or not worthy of such a relationship, and require the help of a Dom that is her friend. It may be a matter of convenience, where the two individuals can't satisfy those needs with their partners, but are committed to their partners nonetheless and would still like to pursue their needs.

Unfortunately, I can see a high failure rate in any of the possible scenarios.. yet I can see a high failure rate in poly and yet I still secretly wish to be a part of a poly triad at least once.
