This has probably beating a dead horse-- i have been known to do that, however, after reading one who questions the 24/7 lifestyle i feel compelled to share.

my Master and i went through a rough time recently. Life circumstances robbed us of our lifestyle and we hit the "Vanilla Slide" (as i call it) in a major way. i was working in a high pressure job 60-80 hours per week, seven days per week. There was no time for anything that remotely looked like D/s. He made the coffee every night, He made the bed every morning, He got the children off to school and tucked in each night because i was not around. We began to fight constantly-- everything turned into an argument. i was miserable and so was He.

Separate sex from our D/s life? Somehow He Dominated me in the bedroom and nowhere else? Impossible. my submission is linked to my sex drive, because i was not submissive sex was out of the question. This transcends sex-- it is WHO i am.

At any rate, Master told me that if i wanted to serve Him again i would have to ask. i would have to request to return to once again have the privilege of being His slave. Nervous as i was, i wrote Him an e-mail: subject heading: "It is time..." This came after an awful fight and i knew i could not live like i was anymore. ii requested that i be permitted to serve Him again. He was indeed hesitant--i had been far from submissive for so long. He laid out His rules and expectations--harsh to be sure. i would be permitted to do very little without permission and punishment for deviance would be swift and harsh. Suffice it to say, i accepted His terms.

i am happy once more. i have never felt so loved and cherished in all my life. Sure, i get punished--however, the pride i see in my Master's face when i kneel before Him---when i worship Him--that is priceless. i am a lucky slave.

So, "Why 24/7 BDSM?" Because that is simply how some of us are built. i guess i would have agreed with you a few weeks ago. i loved my job. i loved the constant stimulation it gave me. i loved that it challenged my mind--however, my soul was lost. ineed His control. Am i somehow less liberated? No, because i found freedom (the definition of liberation.)

i hope i did not bore anyone....
