If that's not there, the whole thing is going to go to hell very quickly!<BR/><BR/>Kim Dare.Kim Darehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11086545242925686207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-12111500881567653572009-03-08T13:15:00.000-04:002009-03-08T13:15:00.000-04:00Thanks, Lisabet.I try to convery that in my storie...Thanks, Lisabet.I try to convery that in my stories, too.

I don't think that a dominant can really understand what he or she is doing without that. Likewise, the submissive must have some notion of how her surrender affects the dominant - empathy, if you will.<BR/><BR/>Best,<BR/>LisabetLisabet Saraihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05162514190572269660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-77091121770114924852009-03-07T12:44:00.000-05:002009-03-07T12:44:00.000-05:00Thanks for having me.

Like Jamie though, I'm disappointed about the lack of nude spankings on the front porch. I mean, Jeeze! LOL<BR/><BR/>You said:<BR/><I>...in every Dom there is a hint of a submissive, and in every sub there is a hint of the Dom.</I><BR/><BR/>I really tend to agree with you on this. The sub has to have a great deal of strength just to admit she or he wants to submit and the Dom has to be caring and gentle enough to accept that submission as well as understand there are boundaries. He's not always the boss. LOL<BR/><BR/>Loved the excerpt. I once asked my kids if Daddy died would it be all right for me to date a younger guy. Man oh man did I get the riot act. LOL So, what does my daughter do? She goes off and finds herself a younger fella. Yes, we had words... and we both laughed. <BR/><BR/>Thanks so much for a really interesting and entertaining blog. <BR/><BR/>HugsJude Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14067166768734750026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-6605880023075339272009-03-07T11:23:00.000-05:002009-03-07T11:23:00.000-05:00Very interesting Desiree!
