A scene friend of mine and fellow blogger posted a question a while ago about whether love and BDSM have to be connected. Of course, this isn’t a cut-and-dried yes or no answer, it depends on the dynamic you have with your Dominant or submissive.
I would have to say in my case, love has always had a part to play in my dynamic. I can envision a scenario where it wouldn’t, that I was just in it ‘for the play’ and no attachments would be required. That being said, it’s never been an option(?) per se when I’ve been developing D/s relationships. But I can see the benefits of being unemotional and unattached in that manner, it certainly would make things a bit less personal, and more clinical for both parties.
Honestly, I thought I had more to say, and after 2 weeks of coming back to this entry, I still can’t find anything more I’d like to add than the above. Usually I’m more wordy and verbose, but not this time. So there it is. Your thoughts, dear reader, are more than welcome.
