ORIGINAL: pompeii Is it just me, or do others feel they get kinkier and less inhibited the older they get? For me, I've loved this lifestyle since I was a school-age child - I just didn't know how to recognize the feelings. My play with girlfriends was always restrained, low key, suggestive, without being overt. As I matured, my play became more realistic, migrating from holding her down for our pleasure to tying her hands & blindfolding her with anything convenient to eventually ensuring a convenient tie or scarf was always handy before I started. Fast forwarding, I have an entire toy bag and wardrobe, and I even buy my beds with BDSM in mind, ensuring nice sturdy bedposts and the like. My question. - Is it just me or do others feel they've matured, more comfortably, and grown kinkier with age - even though the initial sensual feelings of erotic control are the same? For me.... as I have aged, so have my interests, as almost all of you have said. I found that as I acquired more and more life experience and reached higher levels of self confidence, that I became less and less concerned with what others might think. I agree with the comments about the being at a point in my life where I am not raising children and facing the day to day struggles of assuring the basic comforts of life, have let me focus more on the pleasurable side. But, I also believe that maturity is crucial in this lifestyle. Especially on the Dominant side. If you are going to take ownership of a submissive/slave, you damn well better have the maturity and knowledge to handle it. If you just want to "play" and "explore", that's great. Just be upfront about it. I have been approached by teenagers wanting to be collared. I know people that young can and do have strong interests in what we do, but.... part of me wants to tell them to go out there and live life and experience all they can.... then, make this serious of a decision. I will probably get flamed for that opinion, but, it is mine, and I own it. <smile> As I have lived in the world of D/s and BDSM, I have evolved into what I am today. I spent years in the "gotta play" mode. As many as 8 scenes a week.... trying everything I was interested in or curious about... within limits. I don't regret it for a minute. I loved doing that, and learned TONS of wonderful things. But now.... I want more. I am envious of some of the M/s relationships I see. My social life and circle of friends is made up almost entirely by people who live this lifestyle, or are in the "scene" community. I have observed the players and their short term relationships. (And been active in that myself.) I have also observed the lifestylers who have made this work and have been in relationships for many years. I don't measure a "successful" relationship in terms of months... I measure it in terms of years... and, hopefully lifetime comittments. But, that's just me. <smile> Wow... I guess I have gone off topic, and I apologize if I have offended by doing so. Have I become more and more kinky with age? Oh YES.... For many reasons... and in many directions.
