I remember saying this once in a different thread but...
As romantic as the idea is...and as much as we may like to fantasize about it, the idea of living a 24/7 Dom/sub or Master/slave lifestyle is largely unrealistic in this day and age. I'm sure there are some that do, but by and large most of us have responsibilities and commitments (including children) that prohibit it.
For myself, I find that having to wait between those times when we can really cut loose just adds to the excitement and keeps it fresh.
By the way, BDSM is sexual and fun...not bowling or poker! You start defining a specific set of rules for what's "right and wrong" and you take half the fun out of it. I don't feel compelled to conform to anyone's "standard" for this type of play except my own and my sub's. If it works for us, it's right...if it doesn't, it's wrong!
Good luck to ya!
