Yes I admire that braveness, I am far too cautious to approach anything in that manner.

I have been part of the BDSM community for many years, and I still do not understand pony play, its interesting, but just causes me to tilt my head.

Hi Brenda!

Maybe it means everybody really loves the bare ass on the cover?

I love that even a tornada can't keep you away from the NRBC!

I was thinking how brave she was to be willing to take the leap that many people never do for fear of... well, fear of everything. It was that sense of "I don't know if I should do this, but I'm going to do it anyway" that appealed to me.

Yes! Definitely. I found someone locally, who I plan on meeting and knowing first, safety first, and he understands that I know nothing. And that I want to ease into it. I cannot jump into it and get spanked with a cane or what not, to the point where I start to cry. I need to be eased into things.. I know very little, so I need a teacher. Someone understanding. And he is that. He is older than me, and has done this for quite some time. So I feel comfortable. I just have to grow that pair and go now lol

Just be careful and always have you first in your mind. Also, meet him in a neutral location the first few times so that you know he's not just a crazy person looking for a good time that might harm you.

She was very brave and it does take a heck of a lot to just submit and trust. It's not an easy task by any stretch of the imagination.

I hope one day I can have that mindset. I try to, but some things just make you want to go slowly.

Mrs. Peg is oddly disturbed by "pony play." We watched an HBO late night thing on it and it completely ooged her out. Personally, I don't get it, but if that's what you like to do then so be it.
I am not a big fan of pony play either. I am entirely open minded about most things and this in particular does seem to ... bug me some how.

Maybe because I had a particular aversion to girls I knew as a child who pretended to be horses.

I did have the opportunity a few months back to witness a woman in full sparkly, glittery, pink-pony gear who really relished the role she was playing and I have to say THAT was something to see. For a moment I wanted a pink pony costume too! lol

You can't just expect to find that one person that you can just submit to in an instant at a party. That's the fantasy of it all. In reality, that doesn't happen. I've been in my relationship 3 months and I still haven't gotten the mindset right. It all takes time. Fantasy doesn't take any time. Reality does.

Causes me to tilt my head too. I would love to find someone who likes it, and have them try to explain to me the appeal of it... Just curious as to what it is about it that makes it so appealing to people.

I enjoy being dominated thoroughly, but the part that skeeved me out at the same time that it turned me on was the fisting. All I could focus on was how dirty they would be, and how much bacteria could be transfered into Carries Body.

As have I, I was scared at first but I have been with my guy for 17 years so the trust factor is a definate plus in our explorations.

I don't like fisting and I've seen a demo on it. I just...don't like the idea of having my vagina stretch that much and have it feel like a hot dog going down a hallway when I have sex with my Master LOL.

Oh sure, it makes sense! If the book intrigued you and made you think, as well as turning you on occasionally, I think that's something!

Do you think you'll read Safe Word?

In reality, though, people who perform fisting use gloves and tons of lube to prevent any kind of infection or fungus from popping up.

Excellent observation. I'm sure that has a lot to do with it.
