I applaud your drive for individualism, but the way you frame that kind of makes it seem like you are saying that because you don't do 'scenes' that for some reason that makes your style of play more natural than that of those that do. I don't think that's what you meant, but it's the way it comes across. For me, and I think for most, 'scene' is the word used that describes the transition from rest to action. Outside of the confines of a 24/7 relationship, there really does need to be some clearly marked boundaries and keeping your play confined to a scene is the easiest, safest, and most negotiable way of making sure everyone is getting what they need. I don't feel as if I'm performing when I am in a scene, nor do I feel like it is unnatural.
