I do try very, very hard to keep that exact thought in mind. We are all of us individuals exploring our own desires. That physical, outward declaration of my devotion and commitment to another person is something I have personally decided to hold in high regard. I expect it will be quite a long time before I am collared. There are so many people here who have 'non-traditional' versions, but every one of them cherished beyond words. Whatever form mine takes, it will be my most prized possession.
Thank you for describing yours, Cadence, I've not heard of that before, and it sounds so lovely!
