| Not really. I do like some of the aesthetics of it but I'm not interested in a lot of the stuff. I don't think I go beyond blindfolding and some foreplay stuff. I'm not into physical pain. . . or being insulted and then told to go do the shopping for that matter. . . And that's perfectly OK. There ... |

| please don't confuse domination (the mind game) with bondage (the physical expression) or sadomasochism (extra-normal stimulation). domination can exist entirely on its own. however bondage and S&M require an element of control so by their very nature the reverse is not true. wow, only an aspie ... |
