Community

As we ease into Friday, I can’t help but be caught up in the delightful frenzy of the weekend and of spring fever (sorry to all those who may be south of the Equator!)… Daddy is home with me again and I got a nice, hard fucking this morning. I’m relaxing with a nice, hot cup of tea and our blog. Our weekly errands and duties are nearing completion and Daddy and I are planning on an evening out tonight (although plans may change…we’ll see!). Also, there is something else that’s been on my mind that has been causing me to smile at random moments…and that something else is the notion of community.

I follow quite a few blogs (46 and counting, to be exact!) and would like to encourage all visitors to follow ours in turn. In this way, we establish interconnectivity and a web of kindred spirits that, although we may not share exactly the same kinks, at the very least can understand and empathize with how we’re wired. And hey, you never know…you might just find something incredibly hot out there that you had never even considered!

As I commented on someone else’s blog recently, my family knows nothing about my submissive proclivities and has no idea that my wonderful husband is also my Daddy, my Master, and my mentor in a D/s context. There is no need for them to know, as it would only upset them. And, if I must be frank, I have no desire to know about the inner workings of their bedroom/lifestyle choices either! As far as other friends, nobody close to us knows how our relationship functions and, although it is within his rights to do so, Daddy has not brought me to any clubs nor has shared me with any other Doms. His interests lie elsewhere and for the time being he chooses not to share me. Although I am extremely content and fulfilled with our life together, this arrangement can leave me feeling rather isolated at times…

That being said, my Blogosphere friends are my family. We bounce ideas off each other, share our insecurities and our triumphs, and lean on each other if we need advice. Although I will most likely never meet any of my fellow bloggers, it’s nice to know that they’re out there! I’d like to point out five blogs/bloggers (although there are countless more, to be sure!) that seem to inspire and encourage others to write and to indulge in their fantasies:

Sexual Dynamics: Memoirs of a Discerning Dom by Discerning Dom
DD posits many intriguing questions and ideas, questions and ideas that in turn drive other bloggers to cogitate and post their own reflections. He motivates his readers to ponder the nature of D/s while delighting them with devious, well thought out, and delicious sexual scenarios.

Spirited Meanderings and On Being Submissive by spirited
Spirited writes a multitude of blogs (please refer to one of the blogs I’ve posted here for links to the others), and runs the gamut from cooking to D/s and everything in between! Her newest addition/revamped blog is a series of interviews with different submissives as to how they approach their submission and how they live their lives. It is an invaluable resource for anyone involved with or even curious about a D/s or M/s lifestyle.

My Bottom Smarts by Bonnie
Bonnie has an enormous readership and is highly regarded in the spanking community. Her wonderful quizzes and fun brunches (please see her blog for more details!) keep readers coming back for more and she also actively encourages new bloggers out there by posting links to their sites.

jaynes submissive diary and femaleslavesandsubmissivewomen by jayne
Jayne recently started a new blog (the second one listed here) in the hopes of gathering together an index of sorts for D/s and M/s blogs (among others!). By doing so, she embraces the notion of community and allows all of us out there to communicate among ourselves. Plus, she has a penchant for posting some rather naughty photos of herself that are always a joy to look at!

And last, but not least, Florida Dom's Corner by Florida Dom
Florida Dom posts great questions and wonderful D/s themed stories that always get a rousing response from his large reader base. Of course, it is easy to see why he has so many readers, considering the fact that he follows so many blogs and posts kind, helpful comments on all of them! Over the past few days, I have seen at least three posts on different blogs that relate to suggestions and advice that Florida Dom has offered.

So, for all of you out there in our community, I want to thank you for reading, writing, and posting comments and suggestions! In your own unique ways, you each make it easier to embrace lifestyles that mainstream society would deem “unacceptable.”

Don’t you just love a good, old-fashioned love-in?? ;) Happy blogging and have a wonderful weekend!
